lOl Dune I hadn't seen that.How did you manage to tone down the gingerness of Robsk's hair? lol

The politicians and top civil servants/mandarins dont live in the real world. They come from a breed that feels it is superior and wouldn't wish to travel with the great unwashed. I dont see why a civil servant traveling to europe needs to go in any better grade than economy. They after all are representing the people from economy and so should mix and feel as one. For decades the top civil servants have been fighting to stop US (the people) finding out about their perks, now it has been found out they don't like it. The masses have had to pull their belts in and so so should whitehall. The majority of the low paid public sector workers work hard and I was delighted that they were specifically given tax breaks and a rise. I watched in amazment the French civil servants marching yesterday as they are now expected to work until they are 62!! If they wish to retire early then they should pay higher proportions of their salary into a pension that supports them,not expect the general workforce to pay their retirement.

i have been married nearly 27 years and so am one of the lucky ones. i picked a gem who has a mother who has never interfered in our marriage.i hope you have a great day and honeymoon Good luck, but if you have any doubts!!!!

Enjoy your last day of unconditional sex

John, you I assume work in the public sector.You will have first hand knowledge of waste. If the public sector workers got a grip and pointed out waste and stopped it.Whether it be not using so much stationary,taking sickies then there would be less job reductions. it is in your hands. Phone one of the planning offices or any other service before 10 on a monday or after 3 on a friday and the majority of time you get a secretary who will say they are at a meeting etc.Bad practices are rife IMo and I feel that many do not work as hard as the private sector.

I dont see the hype about the German team. They beat Ausralia 4-0 , against 10 men. If we play to our ability we must win.

' quote Lol at this thread getting to 13 pages worth of pointless boll*cks. Anyone that actually believes these guys got 12 months for shaking a fence and perhaps throwing a coin is almost as f*cking moronic as the goons that have gone down for acting like tw*ts in full view of the police and cameras. Everyone knows that football violence carries harsher sentancing, and saying 'think about the people and their families etc' Boll*cks, i feel sorry for their families for being related to such a bunch of idiots, i don't feel sorry for someone that goes out and commits a crime, i wouldn't feel sorry for someone that lost their driving licence for being over the limit, i wouldn't feel sorry for someone that went down for throwing a punch in town when 'he is not normally like that' and i certainly don't feel for these guys. Hopefully a stint inside will make them actually THINK about their families, jobs etc themselves. ' end quote I thought I'd add a quote from the main forum, a bit of devilment SS really

I have sympathy for him. He obviously lost his soul mate and turned to gambling. Normally I would not have this position, but seeing him interviewed and seeing how his life had been turned upside down i felt sad for him. Was he not left with a very young child as well?

it could be that a lot on here have no humour. Considering Harry Hill is supposedly a comedy genius, then perhaps Im missing something there

but all of the Argentinian team would have been signed up by other teams by then......although i suspect most will wait for Pompey

Of course no other fans would get behind their team John, no fans get behind the team on a run to Wembley. I would have loved to see how they would have been if they had gone out to Coventry in the 3rd like they should have.

i will bow to your knowledge

she better enjoy her one jaunt in parliament, as she wont get another chnace

Reading some of the replies, some of them are really clued up. Interesting that one mentions that the administration is what some of us said at the time that it smelt of a pre-pact deal. Shedding the debt but then coming out free of debt. A real s####y trick.

Lol

yes he was on a lot more later, including showing his hat trick in the International match. He was introduced as one of the greatest skillful English players of all time.Also the Xavi article about how he thought MLT was the best. Having the gorgeous Shakira on also made me happy to watch the show. Mrs Crouch is a nothing and adds nothing to the show.As for JC, i find him as just a good lad who is engaging, not hilarious but far more talented than Lenny Henry

RUMOUR, sums it up

The little I saw of the Germany game they didnt impress me. He called us stupid but they only qualified in the last game as well. Im happy that the team has not peaked yet and as the tournament goes on we may get stronger. The Argies are the best team i have seen so far but the other night they didnt look so good when Messi was man marked.

40m pa subsidy?????? That is scandalous, 800k a week. Im all for arts and culture but subsidising that at that cost is a nonsense

It's galling, they just carry on as though they have had a parking ticket. No sense of having to act, and sit back waiting to take offers on their players but also in the position to refuse. They gave their creditors 20p in the pound and then act as if they have been fondled by a stranger in public if anybody dares to try and give them a bit of their own. Reading a post higher up, i notice that Sol and Hart and a few others dont seem to be part ofr the football creditors and so wont get their full amount. i wonder if they will join the HMRC and object.That is quite a bit of money that is being written off

Capello was correct to bring Heaskey on, Crouch is not that good at holding the ball up, wheras Heskey can. As for Joe Cole, hos absence made him a better player than he really is.He came on and gifted possession time and again, then went for a pathetic shot when he should have taken the ball to the flag or at least held it up for support. I know Im in the minority not rating him, but that does not mean I'm wrong. I really hope he proves me wrong and takwes us to glory but i don't believe he will.Milner for me every time

It was reported in the papers before MM left that the debt was 100m. That was quickly quoshed by MM as he was in the process of selling to Gaydamek. Only now we can see that the way debts have been hidden that it could have been true,especially as you say you sold nigh on £100m worth of players. Do not believe that it was only since gaydamek that there has been a lot of debt hanging around.

From what the little i know of you from here BTF I expect she would be brought up correctly (not necessarily politically of course) I realise that she would not leech from the system. I would respectfully suggest to you that if things are tough now, she should perhaps look to move down, as if things are as they are now with low interest rates what happens when they start their slow climb.? It is terrible how property prices have risen so much in the last 15 or so years that we as a nation are looking down the barrel, and what will happen when they start to creep up again!!!

to have Lenny Henrys mug looking at me everyday, makes me want him to disappear. Though somebody who has opinions and will give them is always good to have on here
