it is like defining poverty or what is being rich, everyone sees it differently I suspect

i dont know how the contracts work, but he is still at present a Reading player.

I would resent paying to see a doctor.

He's not alone, Harding has been ok, not outstanding enough to be irreplacable IMO. Earlier in the season we played a team (I cant remembr who at present) and the left back outpaced Antonio and was always good in his atttacking role

indirectly it will as any wage increase will be reduced as the extra costs will be factored in to what an emplyer can afford to put into the pot to pay. Tax costs everybody whether it is direct or indirect. The NI increases to Tesco etc will be passed onto the customer whoever that may be.

Business class is soooooo yesterday. For you sand eaters the Balsalmic champagne must taste good wheras we just sprinkle it on our salads.

I suspect there are Tories /Liberals who are not above this

you have to give respect for people who are prepared to go through such hardship....but Fordy? Well done Fordy however far you got or what time you did. I wouldnt /couldnt do it os top marks to you

cna they play DVD's on wind-up gramaphones?

but the players indirectly profitted form those charities. The funds were used to pay their wages etc.

there you go, not cringeworthy at all. Personally the media seem to be taking the p### as again they showed clips of him and brown and using song titles in their news item. Comical and a big gaff as the ever so serious Brown was made to look a pantomime clown.As much as i dislike him, he does not deserve to be made to look such a fool.

amazing that no Bournemouth player made the L2 side!!

Did you hear him before he came into view?

about 3 weeks ago he spoke to a family member who is a friend of his and that time he was going back to Reading as their manager was very impressed with his showing in the JPT (especially the final) I agree the wording of his last interview gives me hope that he may well be persuaded to stay.

for all those who knock Davis, read that and weep. His fellow pros made him the best in the league.Not fans like myself but the people who are up against these players throughout the season.

How did the marathon go and how did your back hold up?

That would do the same to our economy

Dune, that would be catestrophic, 20% would not be very nice but 25% would cripple the nation IMO

Tax is tax,. The point is the duties on fags booze also effect the poor in the same way as Vat. It is a tax that was for luxury goods. Now many have different ideas what luxury is. I think Labour were talking about putting vat on other more essential items, but shelved that recently. Vat is a tax on spending, that should be on non essential items. iam surprised the sanitary items you listed are not exempt but your friends have had 13 years to change that, they have not done so therefore the wealthoier in society should not be blamed for that. Campaign to gt those items changed , id be supportive. The sad fact of life is that if you started everyone with £1000, at the end of the year, some would be in debt others rich.

Isnt it nice that the Tories allow different views to the party leader. Quite refreshing. ps did you like the Elvis impersonator.....Lol

but the same goes for if they buy a packet of fags or a burger. The wealthy have more disposable income as they are wealthier. So they buy a £1m+ house they have to pay more tax (stamp duty)than someone who is buying one sub 500k. That's life, if we have more wealthy people, they are here to spend more and so business prospers, more of the umemployed have the opportunity to get jobs and the whole of society moves upwards. Nobody can avoid paying VAT and so it is a better tax than the normal earnings related tax. I have never resented paying 40% tax, but I remember in the 70's the 98% tax and how that destroyed any people taking risks or working hard. In fact it made the black economy thrive. Get over the fact some people are successful and so in life have a little more, as long as they contribute that is fine by me. it is the Phillip greens of this world who earn billions from our economy and then pay no tax. Sort them out, not the wealth providers who pay into the system.

I think that is what happened initially as we put someone on the post and so we gave that idea up.

i think since the report of their debts this week most football fans are waking upto the nonsense Grant is spouting and getting tired of it. If it was not Pomey we would look at it differently. I have sympathy with the way Luton have been treated but I suspect if you went on a Watford forum they would list a line of their misdemeanors that we didnt realise had happened.

But you can't sacrifice your taller defenders to a post. Frankly sometimes you just have to say @superb effort' and move on. I dont know how many free kicks have been scored against us this season, but i dont see it as a big problem

it still would have gone in
