  1. Not a pointless tax IMO. Takeaway packaging litters our streets and has a clear up cost. It is a way of raising revenue that perhaps could cut taxation elsewhere.
  2. dont worry we'd sell you lot some wooden posts that were riddled with woodworm and flintlocks pistols that blow up in your face as they fire. Anyway I'd change sides when you came to power and say me BTF and Verbal always had the same ideals, and be in charge of the firing squad. This would be just after i had organised a coup to get rid of the real believer and had then taken over his pad, the palace he had nicked from the gentry. Filling it with treasures looted from whoever.....that's how it goes isn't it?
  3. What a good way of getting tax in, and morally correct. It could be seen as a luxury tax as a takeaway is a luxury. The clear up that we all pay for when the litter is discarded is enormous. Just a few pence extra taqx on a big mac, a chinese takeaway container, Costa coffee cup would raise millions for the exchequer. I can't see any negative to the argument. Chewing gum should also have a high taxation banding
  4. The only time you lot can actually raise a smile, thinking about that type of power. Funny thing is , no truer word said in jest Lol
  5. Another thing is he likely to be playing in the african nations cup? if so that is a negative if he misses a load of games for that
  6. Not only socialists wish for that, right minded people do. The problem is you can only have that when the society they are in has enough to go around to supply it. If you borrow so that it weakens the strong and so there is no fat to spare to help, then everyone is dragged down into the mire. I personally don't wish for my grand-daughter to live in squalor and poverty because the government tried a social experiment and overspent to try and uplift all, where-ever they come from.(It is not PC, but I resent people coming here and drawing from the system after not paying in, whatever their colour or creed.) Until society decides that parents and citizens have to face up to their own responsibilities, children from poorer backgrounds will be held back as they do not have the right support from their parents to get somewhere. Most kids want to get on in life but due to the social system that pays you not to work some have no experience how to move up the ladder. It is a self defeating spiral.
  7. He can sign at night can't he, whilst he' s eating his tea?
  8. My ex-sister in law had been watching a programme on Bounty hunters and I kid you not she piped up ' i wouldn't do that for a bar of chocolate' It was not meant as a quip Lol
  9. but it is not those people who really care who get to the top. You only have to look at John Prescott, a waiter/steward on a ship, filled with jealousy and resentment because he doessn't have the trappings of power and wealth and when he gets it he plays it large, 2 jags and special lanes on motorways so he doesnt have to wait with the prols.I may be overstating it but Im sure you know what i mean. The Russian leaders lived the life of kings whilst their comrades toiled, it is the same over and the mystical world of equality and fairness does not exist and never will do. it is just a reversal of who is on top looking down at the rest.
  10. Kim Wilde Now????? Last time I saw her she looked like Harry Redknapp
  11. Marxists and the like are jealous people who resent others who have money and power, as soon as they get their hands on it they are worse than the ones they took it from. Power and money corrupts, the despots of the world who are normally put in place by the proletariat, who then get a worse deal.Please let me know where there is a Marxist society where the top people do not live the high life and the citizens are in abject poverty?
  12. If we are still waiting for this player to make his mind up I believe he is not committed enough. Too much like Rudi, the excitement grew but the result was poor
  13. OldNick

    Dynamo

    the spoon in the coffee that turned to a fork when stirred. Obviously a fork that had a coating that melted in the coffee to reveal a fork.
  14. Driscoll and Cotterill had a massive fall out and have a dislike for each other, if the war of words from last seasons games have anything to go by
  15. Lol, dont forget he was just a front for his father and his money. Pompey was chosen because its systems were so outdated it was easy to pass money through. The players you had were never going to be able to be afforded on 15k gates.
  16. if only it had been a fuel tanker
  17. Im not going to believe this until I see it posted on Football rumours site
  18. Julie Christie
  19. we will await for the shadow cabinet to release their meetings. I wonder if the last governments records will also be released. You will be very naive to believe this has not been going on for a long time. Perhaps the meetings with the Guardian should be made public, after all the government spends a lot of money with them. The whole lot is a sorry mess,and pointing the finger is a danger as I suspect all parties have tried to court the media.
  20. I suggest that there would have been traces from the 2 bombs in WWII in the Japanese car industry since the war. It never was a problem before and so I doubt it is now. I worry more about the amount of microwaves/radio waves bombarding us now. No doubt we will be told it is harmless, but as i know of 3 people recently diagnosed with brain cancer (all different areas of the country) I am a tad alarmed.
  21. I did question that at the time but i think Weston said that there would be minimal losses. Therefore the money came in and should have been ready to pay out. It seems to me that getting further tests is imperative for the clubs future, to risk it by holding money back seems daft to me.Also spending so much on conference facilities is hell of a risk as there is so much competition.
  22. another nonsense that the Government did to waste our money. I can see very few positives having the Olympics. It will be good for Dominoes Pizza, Coca Cola, Chinese takeaways, the supermarket beer sales and the like but the general retailers and businesses throughout Gb will suffer.
  23. Is that that the match where he had a couple of our players by the throat at halftime because they did not care enough. 1 was a foreign centre half the other if i recall correctly was a player who took a long time to sign for us.This was in the relegation from the CCC season and so may not be the 5-0 game
