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

    I don't recall Cameron ever being pro-leave - and certainly not in the last few months. He postured and threatened that the UK might leave before his negotiations - is that what you meant?

    Euro 2016 big thread

    I thought he played better than I've seen him for a long time. However his second shot was also very close to the keeper. If he'd put it even within a foot of the corner the keeper would have had no chance. Playing in midfield is no excuse for those two shots.

    Thanks Ernie, so we've put that one to bed between us.

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

    The EU is not a dictatorship because more than one person controls it. It's also benign. However it's not a democracy either. I think the EU is something we've never seen before: an attempt at combining socialist and capitalist philosophies together. It is working for a wider distribution of...

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

    Immigrants are not to blame for anything. Each one is exercising their right to travel in the world and work wherever they want. There may be some bad people who immigrate here but there are bad people everywhere. England made Peter Sutcliffe & Fred West. What is a problem however is...

    Rooney Rule

    I thought the Rooney Rule was that you always had to pick at least one player for the England side on his performance from years ago rather than current ability.

    Leon Clarke!

    The article seems to rule it out. 1) They already turned down two offers of cash 2) The only way we could afford him is if Bury paid off his contract and we took him on a free. How's that going to happen then? Are Bury stupid?

    So if this is a forced takeover...

    It's entirely feasible and I'd welcome it. There are hedge funds and there are hedge funds - we were just unlucky to get a crap one. I cannot see Wasps sitting on their hands and not investing when there's the premiership money beckoning. The big question however is if SISU would roll over...

    Albums you ever get tired of listening to

    This is a much easier question than "which are your favourite albums" because I can see the older ones that I continue to play frequently: Adventure - Television (I know Marquee Moon is the supposed classic but I play Adventure more) Waiting for a Miracle - Comsat Angels Real Life and...

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

    I'm a reluctant leave. I love the idea of a close Europe but some of the rules that the EEC has come up with are very damaging to everyone. They keep meddling with economics trying to impose things onto a region with a huge variation in economic needs. One size doesn't fit all in Europe and...

    Falling out of love....

    I imagine because they are in the Premier League, having over-achieved in recent years against their history and the probability of them improving on that position is lower than the probability that they are in a worse position in 5 years. Our situation is the opposite, possibly.

    Fibber. The original was SISU.

    Anyone know much about employment law on here?

    I don't know the details of the law - but I know the procedure. When you have a problem employee you meet in private with them; set them goals for the day/week; agree them; document them and then meet again in a day/week to review status and set the next week's goals. The last thing you do is...
