Huddinge Sweden, July 1979. The interminable nights had transformed to endless day and the city was alive. Blondes were oozing from every corner of the Province; the sound of Abba's music playing from every building. These were halcyon days and they felt like they would last forever. I had...

Nice. Thanks for explaining the sting ray simile! You're too young to remember that weebles wobble but they don't fall down! Also like this one "Yet more children appeared, Fibonacci-like" :)

There is a group of 5 teams starting to upon up a gap at the top of the table. If we win our game in hand it will be 4 points between Rochdale and Gills

We should sign everyone call Ronaldo or Ronald.

It would make it interesting if she exposed her tattoos when she scored - the opposition would be passing it to her in the box. I also had roses tattooed on my arse but I was quite clear that I wanted no orange creams.

It's one thing to lose to Walsall; it's quite another to not tonk Shrewsbury. Maybe not 12-0 but this could be a goal-fest.

Another from Withnail - that movie had a great soundtrack.

Have to say that White Man in Hammersmith Palais was also a pretty seminal single. One hearing today and I'm back in 1977.

The single that most blew my socks off was "This Charming Man" by the Smiths. Best track is "voodoo Chile" by Hendrix - and topical given last night's moon. Or "All along the watchtower" by Hendrix. Best album - crikey so many, but my favourite ever is "Waiting for a Miracle" by the Comsat...

If a company cannot afford to pay staff then it cannot afford to be in business. Are you seriously suggesting that the state should support ventures that aren't viable?

I don't believe it is overlooked. There is always more that can be done and I agree with Corbyn that we should try and get it. However nobody believes there is as much out there we can get as Corbyn claims and it's certainly not a cure all. It would all be academic if all high earners and...

This is a deliberate policy to force companies to shoulder the burden of paying well for less esteemed work. Why should the state provide funding so companies can take the piss? It's not going to happen overnight but if you create the right macro-economical environment it will happen.

You are right to ignore propaganda from all sides - the glib statements and soundbites at best paper over the cracks and at worst are no more than myth. Instead look at what the parties are actually doing. Every government needs to collect tax, however the Tories usually cut income tax (for...

I agree, possibly did happen - but then again I'm not too concerned about what he did when he was 18 or 19. I did some pretty daft things at University myself as I'm sure most did.

New Labour were electable under Blair and the right Miliband. They did so much right under their first term and it all went wrong when Brown started over-spending: creating a deficit and then building it up year after year until the shit hit the fan. Ed Miliband wasn't New Labour; he was a...

I don't believe you understand the values of the two main parties. The Tories are the ones who reduce tax.

We will win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHCSMT1Q1OY

I objected to him calling you thick - now you are calling him names, I'm sorry I intervened.

I don't know if it's true or not: Ashcroft is obviously pissed off and slinging any mud he can. If it is true then it's not right but I'm sure it's an example of something that goes on all the time in Westminster on all sides - this kind of political expediency is part and parcel of being a...

You're a real charmer aren't you? I'll answer you, as a thick working class chap who voted Conservative last time out. What exactly is your question? EDIT: One thing I have noticed on the internet is how unpleasant most left wing activists are. They claim to hold the moral high ground of...
