Im would think he'd be ok in our league.

Poyet IMO is a good judge of a player.

I saw a documentary once where it showed Africans setting net traps to catch them as they were on the migration path back to the UK. We had a lot turn up at our new abode, luckily i managed to knock their nests off the wall and bbq them.........only kidding. We have had loads here

who is Spade face? POF ?

Oh ,I see. If that is all it would be cheaper to pay someone to take it away, a skip will cost quite a bit

OOOOOOhhhhhhhh dear you're in trouble she's not Russian. Phil will have to go to the playground and ask her

it depends on what quality and condition the items are. If they are worn and tired you will have trouble and charity is your best bet. If you have a second hand shop close by and you can get them to offer, my advice would be take the money. If you value your time the extra you may get a little more by trawling the stuff around, but it may not be worth it. Especially if you need to rent a van. There is the E-Bay or Preloved route but you wont get rid of it all. The other option is to call a local auctioneer, they will take most things although there are costs.

you do have a young fiance though. Is it true she was caught up in her skipping rope when you first met her? I did notice a look of, why the f### did I walk in just as he wanted that moved. Lol

I think of all the posts on this thread anothersaintinsouthsea's has to be the best. It should have its own Golden post status.

Is it the councillors who set each and every wage? I do vote but none of the politicians seem to be able to grasp the nettle. We had 10 years of the Labour party relaxing the purse strings and whilst i love the NHS , the chicken is coming home to roost.

it is a terrible state of affairs. I can't see a way out of this, unless higher contributions are made by the staff

Amazing, but why are we surprised, afterall the councils dont have to earn money they just up parking charges or council tax. Not that I blame the binmen, it is the management who agree to these terms.

As if you could resist putting your name up on here Lol.

Have Pompey won a game or something? I only wondered as Ho is back. Lord Lucan and Shergar have made more appearances than he has in the bad times lol

any chance that NC didnt like the way it was dealt with by Donny?

i thought you were younger

Colville is a Kent at the best of times. It is about time we made thing advantageous for us when at home. I don't know what we will do if we ever play on a seamers wicket When we played the other night I thought Nasser was keen for us to lose as his beloved Essex would gain.

thank heavens Im not the old git on this thread

51 and a half

I agree a teacher could be counted as low to average paid, but as they go up the scale they soon get to a decent wage. if they make deputy head etc i think the payscales then do get pretty good.

Steady Wade, you think I don't know that, I haven't seen the report on that incident but there is no way they should have been expected to go in if there was a chance of them being harmed. Something went seriously wrong that night and I don't believe they went recklessly in.

No Im not cut out for that route. I have been happy to make my own way in life. It has its plusses and minuses. I believe in fairness and what I see from where I sit is that the Public Sector has to take its part of the pain. I have always wished for the higher end of the public sector to take the major strain, and the working staff ie bin men and the lower paid staff to be unaffected by all this. I listen in bemusement how people take early retirement or redundancy and then brag that the council then reemploy them at higher rates as consultants. I applauded the Gov when they raised the tax threshold for the very low paid, that is how it should be. Those people deserve the pension as they will be less able to save for later life.

I think you will find a large proportion of the high earners already do. In a strange way they pay twice, as they use private schools and hospitals and then pay a high percentage of their earnings in tax to contribute to the public heath service and schools.

health and safety public servants would not let anyone run into a burning building. As for your last sentence that is quite the same argument that the Gov is saying to the public sector. You can have your pension but have to pay a proper contribution to do so. Not expect the taxpayer to subsidise it.
