I was working in an accountants and one of the partners came into the office saying 'have you heard the news!" As Strachan had been sacked the day before we thought it was about a new manager. Instead he said a plane had just crashed into the WTC. A bit later I went to the shop for milk (I was...

But if we've left ourselves too much to do by then and end up missing out on promotion, next summer we stand to lose the likes of Sheaf, MvE, Wright and possibly Simms. So then instead of needing a midfielder we need another midfielder, a right back (or two) and probably a new striker, If...

Because anyone with a brain can see how utterly terrible Trump being back in would be. He's pretty much said he would turn it into a dictatorship where people have to swear loyalty to him, not the country. Can you think of any other examples from history where that happened....

Given how bad we are at them I'd rather just have MvE or Thomas hurl it down the line and get us further up the pitch.

Yes she will. Benefits include NI credits.

Just how do we know all the pensioners weren't part of the bone idle benefit lot of yesteryear? Does Tracy, who's currently raising five kids on benefits, suddenly become a hard-working pensioner who's paid her taxes when she reaches her late-60's?

While we're arguing about the WFP and pensioners, can we not agree that the biggest problem is the energy companies making huge profits rather than the govt having to subsidise pensioners that can't afford it. How about we focus efforts on getting those companies to reduce the bills of...

Wasn't many of them if I recall. Most on here who are of a left wing persuasion weren't enthused by him at all. it's just it was a slightly better option than the car crash that was the Tories. If anything it should be the traditional Tories that are loving it - getting Tory policy without...

Not a chance. It's still only available to 200+ points, so they'll bring in previous purchase soon, which i suspect would be enough to get a decent crowd in. If not they could go general sale to save face, but can't see that going down well with the SAG and don't think it will happen.

Sure he wasn't just a coach with the surname Driver?

Joined the dark side. I could have sworn he died last year or so as well. At first I thought I might have been mistaking him for David Prowse, but he died a few years ago now so don't think so.

I'm always calling to not overload players but you can have training that is not intensive. You can go through tactics almost a walking pace to get them drummed into the brain.

Happy if it was you? Or one of your loved ones? At least the families would have closure eh? Not necessarily referring directly to this case, but as just a general principal it seems pretty fucked up to me. Just make sure someone gets convicted regardless.

With Wright away on international duty I hope EMC gets the nod on the left.

Maybe, but that's where the argument always ends up. You cut taxes and sales/growth goes up and the economic right say "well we should cut taxes even more". Same with deregulation. You take away the regulation, the banks/industry makes more profits and it's "see, we told you you should cut the...

I don't get having high levels of income tax allied to high levels of sales tax as that's just double taxation. One or the other can be fine. Probably arguing for the sake of it here but one reason is people have a tendency to buy shit they don't need. We're also using up raw materials and...

Well that depends on if you consider them expensive, luxury items. I don't, so I wouldn't raise VAT on them. Argument for alcoholic beverages can be made I think.

Of course I know you're not a low/zero tax approach person. That's why I mentioned that the logical conclusion of your argument is exactly that, and I know you think that's a ridiculous proposition. I do get the argument for it, but I think there are better ways to go about it. Having people...
