Yes, I knew he was from a wealthy family and had a good job in Germany before he left for Paris. But that makes the story even better I think. Despite being wealthy himself he decided it was wrong that ordinary working people were abused and did something about it.

I agree, looks great on paper. I'm sure I'd have supported Marx when he first wrote the communist manifesto. But it has proven time and time again as a complete disincentive for people to work hard or come up with new ideas. Everyone with any ambition wants to leave, so they have to bring in...

You don't agree that SISU will do whatever they want anyway? If so, why? I didn't write that it was pointless - it makes us all feel like we have some kind of power and I've signed. But I know it won't force SISU out. Having said that, I wonder if they are on their way out anyway - selling...

Every time I see a socialist on TV talking they say they want to fight the Tories. Why? Why don't they decide for themselves what is right and then support the Tories when they agree? It seems the whole movement exists only to be negative about what the other party thinks. Corbyn talks...

I wonder if Anderson walked on scruples.

I know it makes us all feel better, but we all realise that this is water off a duck's back to SISU right?

I spotted this last night and assumed it was the old movie. I'll see if I can get hold.

Absolutely, we need them to understand the mettle of who their (sic) dealing with.

Farage is nasty and now available.

I agree about Kindle; my daughter bought me one for Christmas but I'm a Luddite. My strategy now is to buy first editions on Abebooks and then sell them on Amazon when I've read them - I can usually turn a small profit. There are so many good books to read that I generally won't read anything...

Agree, can't walk past one without checking out the book section. There's also an awful lot of rubbish there but occasionally you can pick up a very good book for a song.

Mowbray on Bigi: "I think Bigi was magnificent today – his energy, his drive, his quality. He’s growing into a leader. He’s still a young boy but he cares very much about this football club. I can hear him in the dressing room and he gets disappointed some times with the decisions of other...

I'm nearly finished Paul Auster "The Book of Illusions". I'm going to squeeze in a cheeky Magnus Mills next. Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead are both on my shelf for future use - are they good?

Someone else posted this first - I was looking for it as I assumed this thread. Great call whoever it was, this is excellent and I keep playing over and over

To be fair, it's not easy judging football players. It's the start of the season and we've all just had a long break, we are bound to be rusty. Many of us are also young lads learning the trade.

Convinced now on his potential though I assume? If he does go on now to have a smashing season, he walks as he's only on a one year contract isn't he? If I remember correctly it seems that Mowbray shared your caution.

I would imagine his point is that he doesn't have a strong senior centre half to organise the kids. Ricketts now deemed too old. Hence with only two there he would feel vulnerable and hence wants three.

Would you do that thing that Meatloaf won't?

There's currently a 16 point gap between the Tories and Labour in the opinion polls and only 14 points between Labour and UKIP. Labour's percentage now lower than the dark Brown days.
