    Robin's talking sense

    Right, I'm going to get on the phone to Mummy and try one last time to get her to tell them about the honey. If I can persuade her will you give the Frosties one more try?

    Robin's talking sense

    Come on Tony; cheer up! You used to be so enthusiastic and positive - albeit usually about Frosties. What is it you used to say "They're Greeeeeaaaaaaaaat!" wasn't it? And now you are writing off the next two years before they even start. Come on, get the Frosties out and rekindle your zest...

    Robin's talking sense

    Of course it's possible Tony. SISU don't pick the players to buy; they don't run training; they don't decide tactics and they don't select the team. He may find it challenging if he's only ever going to get the 8th biggest budget no matter which league we are in - but it's certainly possible.

    Robin's talking sense

    I'm having trouble picturing that. Anyone any good at art prepared to illustrate it?

    But we dont have any other income.......

    Why would anyone risk £50k with a 2-1 on return for promotion when they could put it on at Ladbrokes for 10-1 ++?

    Good old films

    Bringing Up Baby (1938) is one of my favourite films, have watched it several times and it always makes me laugh.

    Bank of England started Libor rigging?

    Did you read the article? It's coming out that the banks were instructed to do this by Gordon Brown via the BoE.

    Bank of England started Libor rigging?

    Not my experience, which is why I was so shocked when the libor scandal was revealed. This sort of thing is totally alien to what normally happens in banks. For sure you get the odd rogue trader that isn't caught (but not so likely now) but it's not endemic

    Bank of England started Libor rigging?

    They were reducing the libor quotes, which made lending cheaper. If there were to be compensation claims it would be for people paying the fixed side of interest rate swaps.

    Bank of England started Libor rigging?

    I was astounded when the LIBOR scandal broke, as I'd never seen any evidence of banks behaving in this way. At the time there were claims that Brown had instructed the banks to do it. Well, it all seems to be coming out now. Libor: Bank of England implicated in secret recording - BBC News

    Coffee Machines

    I recommend one of those on hob espresso makers. £20, great coffee, not tied to expensive packs (use any coffee you want) and no electronics to go wrong.

    Jigsaw

    I actually thought that Ranson's plan was a good one: don't spend loads but buy some young promising players. If we ever get another owner willing to invest that's what I would do. I simply don't believe that booze and burger money makes that much difference - hang the stadium for now, keep...

    Things You Now Like ?

    Always hated cheese, now love it - but not blue cheese still. My music tastes have also expanded; they played 'Ring My Bell' on radio 6 about a week ago and I enjoyed it! We never had any fancy food when I was growing up and I discovered olives when I moved away at 18. Absolutely love them -...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Just saying, that if all the moderates leave the Labour party then it really is lost forever. Where's Kinnock when you need him? Just think, had the right Miliband won, we might well have a Labour government now. Ed should go down as the most selfish and stupid politician ever.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    A couple of thoughts. 1. Nobody comes out well IMO on the Livingstone debacle. Livingstone himself because even though what he said this time wasn't explicitly racist IMO (he's stating something he believes to be a fact), he's said it in an insensitive way and refused to apologise and...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I just met two multi-millionaires in the Penrith tea rooms who claim to be behind a bid. I overheard them saying they were going to buy and install a jukebox.
