I think that being wary is just fine, Nick. My father in law, a primary school teacher, gave me a good piece of advice on this; never allow yourself to be left on your own with someone else's child. Of course for teachers that's more about the risk of false accusations, but as a bloke and a...

You've not understood the law at all. You're allowed to believe anything you like, and if you can do so within the bounds of the law you're also allowed to express those beliefs no matter how distasteful to others. You understand don't you, that you are also allowed to say out loud that you...

Just to come back on the SBT thing, from what I can see their accounts are now filed. This from the link you provided earlier in the thread. https://mutuals.fsa.gov.uk/SocietyDetails.aspx?Number=29630&Suffix=R

Erm... I don't think you've really grasped how the law works. Your religious belief does not give you the right to disregard the law, see below. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-37748681 You can also be intolerant of others because of a dogmatic hatred of those who believe in a...

I'm not sure whether this is related to the father's deep religious convictions or his raging homophobia - it's possible to have one or the other without having both, so I wouldn't be too fast to jump to conclusions regarding the religious angle, Otis. Regardless, my simple opinion on this is...

I might be the only person here that is entirely unconcerned with SISU launching a second JR against the council regarding the sale of ACL to Wasps. I'd be surprised if it succeeds, but there clearly are some questions over the process followed for the sale and valuation of ACL, and I think...

Great to hear that there's some good news on the medical front Torch, though I appreciate that it isn't all plain sailing even now. The least that could be hoped for is that those slackers on the pitch will now do their bit to cheer you up in your convalescence. I'll get the "Win one for...

Does it work on dogs too? :)

Absolutely Nick. Third largest employer my arse, that claim is risible. The thousands of vacancies available at ACL are shown here http://www.ricoharena.com/careers/ In short though it's casual staff for food and drink provision, stewards for Wasps, and maybe a shot at being a hotel...

Torchy (Simon) mate, for once I am completely without words. Almost. I guess you know that despite the fact that everyone here hates your guts because you secretly love SISU, we're also your mates, right. :) As a mate, all I can say is this - if there's anything trivial you need taking care...

I don't really mind, as long as I go peacefully in my sleep like my granddad, not kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car. :)

In fairness there's a pretty reasonable theory that says you should always play your best players in the position that they're best in. By moving Stokes to CB and bringing in an (arguably) weaker LB, you could actually weaken both positions rather than just the problem one at CB. I'm not...

A thing of rare beauty, but if you polish it any more you're going to wear the paint off. There are surgical instruments that aren't as well cleaned as that car. :) Is that a standard rear windscreen, may I ask? I've not seen one like that before...

Is that not one of the prettiest cars ever (I think that's a TR4A below). That was £25 well-spent, sir. :)

OK, I'll confess - the first record I was given was The Planets by Holst. That was when I was ten by a teacher (at Templars, I'm not posh!). I still love Classical music. First pop record I'll admit to buying was Squeeze, Up The Junction, on pink vinyl. Went through rock (Deep...

Maori nose flute interpretations of prog rock classics for me, man and boy. Why would anyone want to listen to anything else? :)

If I remember rightly you'll probably both have to complete claim forms that explain the circumstance of the accident, but your first step is definitely to inform your insurer. When it comes to it, if they do write the car off they used to be reasonably happy for you to retain the vehicle for...

Sometimes they use 'and' twice in the same sentence too. :) But yes, joking aside, proof reading on the CET isn't wot it waz. Streching the 'pennis' being a case in point.

Absolutely. What it really means is that the paper starts to rely on republishing PR pieces verbatim along with things to encourage their advertisers. I don't think the problem with the CET is with the individual journalists...

Otis, I sense some dry humour here... Anyway, I for one would welcome our new insect overlords, and I’d like to remind them that as a trusted member of SkyBluesTalk I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
