Perhaps its worth going on Betfair and seeing if any H is on line

Fuengirola, the Bonanza bar. Is that still there od you know? ps could you now change your name to Malaga Saint , as its misleading Lol

He's dead, and it took days to screw the coffin lid down

This site must have a bigger percentage of Guardian readers than anywhere else Lol. Or that Guardian readers are so up themselves and think that they are right and the message it portrays is always right. All newspapers have an agenda, perhaps that the Guardians agenda is so subtle it has managed to brainwash its readers. If I was Cameron I'd make sure that Government waste was first directed at the Civil servant jobs section pages of that paper, the only thing that has kept it alive for decades is the Government publishing its ludicrous jobs in it. It would be amusing having those adverts put into the Mial so all the sniffy readers would have to pick up a copy Lol Ps I dont get any newspaper, but the Times would be the one of my choice, the Sun for a cheer up, and the DM for stressing myself up after reading about spongers

I dont think Brits living abroad should be allowed to vote. Working short term ok, but if they are likely to be out of the country for more than 10 months then no vote. Im sure there is good reason why they should, but I cant think of any (armed forces an exception of course) I would expect that would help Labour more than others BTW, the Communist party would be finished though Lol

Does that include North Sea oil revenue. It always is used in the arguement.

Before the cheating was in full swing 3-1 to my side. Duckworth Lewis calculations showed it as a 5-1 victory to us, the stewards enquiry showd a 3-1 victory to us but the ref (Phils uncle) a 4-3 victory to the Pompey impersonators. I have had a couple of coomplaints form former players in my team who are most distraught to have to play in your side. Another injustice. As for the drink after the game, I would be more than happy to buy you one, come and see me after all your teammates manager and friends have bought you one and I'll see what I can do.

I know Im a goon and so holding cash. Stock market recovery on what?Look at the graph re the housing boom and perhaps we are there. How can our companies be worht more money than they were when the economy was moving? IMO as a lot of people were getting little interest they have rushed into buying shares/buy to let to try and get a better return.At present they are have done well, the stocks have jumped and bounced back to good levels. I notice your swipe at people hoarding/buying gold, they might not all be goons and looking at the long game. IMO the banks are having an easy ride in making billions of profit, lend me money at 1% and below and I will make a big profit.

I have fond memories of WGS's tenure. He brought the best out of a few players and I was sad he left. Bridgey and Mardens play together made a massive difference to the team , add BT's great form along with Killer and we had a fair team. Not great football IMO but a tough nut to crack.On a negative side, WGS playing Tessem instead of Kevin Davies was am jor mistake and time has shown he caused bedlam in Arsenals defence and would have been perfect for the cup final instead of a negative journeyman. Add his appalling signing of McCann and he goes away as a neutral manager success wise. Nicholl for me was the best after LM but he paid the price for folowing LM and not following Branfoot, if he had he would have been a legend.

let's hope he has just got tired of the negative stuff on here and now posts elsewhere.

I think most of my teams wives are asking the same question of how their loved ones are going to get home safely after your late tackles.In fact as you ran about like a rabid dog kicking all that moved during the last game, or even if it wasn't moving I suspect your own team are renewing their insurance policies. The game is fast approaching, exciting aint it?

I pointed out the flaw in the arguement. It iseasy to point and say that as it is a paper aimed at businessmen that they are going to back them, the case that they haven't for 20 years or so says that the Tories in their eyes have changed for the better. I didnt see any of your better points as the major one this thread is about was patently wrong. For you to be on this thread tells me that you of course would not need the Sun or another to make you decide who to vote for. You will make up your own mind and that is what debate is all about. I wish we could pick and mix a few of the parties policies, and that would be perfect. Sadly that is not possible and so Im plumping for the one that I feel will turn the countries fortunes back for the better.

The banks did fail but you are correct, but we are not out of the woods yet. Whoever wins has got to get to grips with the problems straight away for all our sakes

Brian Laws and Dowie what ap air of useless managers. Laws 2 relegations in a season Lol

I hope that there will not be one here. I hadn't known until about 6 months ago that it was 3 years before the depression set in the 30's. It was not instant but took time to work its way through. Scary stuff if you think about it, as we must be about 2-2 1/2 years into the crisis now.

Buctotim, I dont know if you have any savings, but the banks are borrowing money for less than 1%. Even the worst goon in the world could make profits on that. Yes the banks are being reinvigorated at the cost of the people who have been prudent and put aside a few quid. In normal trading the interest earned by the nations savers would be taxed and no doubt billions of tax would be earnt from that. it is not just a one way system. By the way it is a perhaps we will get that profit. Take into account all the money that has been printed that has to be paid back so LLoyds etc can make that money after lending at extortionate profits. Give me a billion at 0-1% and Id make you billions in return.

Why you think that a tory businessman is likely to be harsher than a labour or Liberal one is what is upsetting. There are a###holes in all walks of life and without wishing to offend some people, my own thoughts are that the people who abuse the workforce are not always the people born in this country and dont follow the same rules. We have laws to stop such things taking place and I for one would not defend any person for forcing people to work longer than they wish. A good employer gets a happy workforce, so a better product and service, it is in their interests for that to happen. Bad employers are not only tories, and you have laws to stop you being abused. On the other hand, sometimes it is not only the boss who is an a###. How many employees are looking for a sickie or a Claims Direct injury? I wouldnt say only labour or Libs are in those categories either.

It is widely recognised that Blair inherited a 'Golden economy' from the last Tory government after chancellor Ken Clarke got us into a good position.Sadly the the election was called before those benefits started to come through.

That the FT haven't supported the Tories since 1987, so there goes that theory

Snowballs give us a wave.

Lol. Personally the big society is a great concept, whether people are interested is another thing. I suspect most parents will like the thought of the rules being slackened so discipline at schools is looked at. IMO most decent hardworking people of all political persuasions want some kind of proper order back into the fabric of society. The days when you could point out to somebody who drops litter to pick it up etc without getting a mouthful of bile and abuse , need to return. That common decency and pride in our streets and nation returns.Not chest thumping Engeeerrllaand stuff but jsut respect for other people would be nice.

Wade could you quantify what you mean by that? What is exploitation of the workforce?

I was thinking last night that had Brown sold the gold now not when he did, that would have given 8-10billion more to our economy. The NI increase plus 2billion+ more to put into the system. Frightening, the most expensive PM of all time perhaps.

If the Financial times now backs the Tories for the first time since 1987 that tells you something important. They by doing this may feel also that DC's policies are financially correct. In that case Browns scaremongering will be shot down. They haven't gone for Cable, but the tories financial ideas. To the masses it does not mean a lot but it may reinforce or even change a few who are flirting with the Liberals.

It is not about the rich, £1m is not rich anymore. You could not retire on £1m, so if an estate is worth 1m and is split by 2 the may get 500k each. Very nice of course but inflation and time sooon erodes that money after a holidays and giving some away etc. Any property owned has normally been bought long term on a mortgage, that has been paid by with tax paid income. Therefore the government has aleady had its cut, add the fact that (?) they also get vat on the funeral services even in death they are getting another slice to waste. I have never resented paying a fair share, I know that I am one of the victims that whoever is in power will be a target, but it is how they take it and how they waste it is important to me. The ony Liberal policy i would like is the 10k threshold for tax, that would then get to those hardworking people who would gain for actually getting off their a##### and working instead of sitting on them waiting for the state handouts.
