    2nd or Playoff Winners?

    Nope, just in lingerie presently. This is getting very personal, stick to the hypothetical important point.

    No, it has to be a leather pencil skirt.

    2nd or Playoff Winners?

    What would you do if we only had to draw our last home game to win the league and the presentation of the cup was to be made. However Joy and Ann Lucas were both insisting on a £20 bribe each before they let you buy a ticket? Oh, and you had to wear a skirt for the game. Would you: a) Pay...

    Mowbray went to watch Pennington

    It's difficult to believe he'd go all that way to see a player he knows. How did Rhyl's number 9 play?

    In Times of Austerity

    No, not as an excuse. But not off the table. In my experience of the private sector, most of the inefficiency comes from hordes of managers who add no value and overly-bureaucratic processes that tie up the people who can add value in pointless tasks. By taking a scythe to the...

    In Times of Austerity

    I'm sure that's very true. I have spent almost my entire career in the private sector as a freelancer, moving around for 2 years stretches at a time. Apart from one or two places I have been horrified at the inefficiency and waste of money. I'm sure that there must be one or two public...

    I read that season ticket holders could be liable to pay the fines.

    Game of Thrones

    Did you guys know that a CCFC fan and ex-Bablake boy is the dialogue editor in GoT? Really is.

    And this article just points out that the stock market and house prices rose after we returned to growth. Driven, to a large extent, as people regained faith in the UK economy because they had an adult in number 11. More 'no shit sherlock'.

    Well I could be flippant and ask why people are moaning about austerity if the coalition spent more... However, this is a lazy "no shit sherlock" article which points out exactly what I stated a few posts ago. If you run a deficit during growth then you are really in the shit when tax income...

    You do realise that was your 666th post on here. Apt? ;)

    Villa after 'Cov Kid'

    Why do we care where he plays? He seems like a very nice young man and I wish him a successful career no matter where he plays. If Villa offers him the best opportunity then sobeit. I support CCFC; I don't dis-support any other clubs

    Things You Hate About Summer

    What's not to like? When I was a lad you had to pay to see the fat tattooed lady - now you can see them all for free.

    Not sure I understand this post :) 1. The deficit is the annual difference between income and expense. I assume you mean national borrowing, not the deficit? 2. Don't understand the point about the state stepping in at all, or indeed how you know this if it was kept secret.

    I'm not suggesting a nationalised monopoly - a nationalised competitor. I'm also aware that there is no party with a policy such as I am suggesting. Legislation is inefficient because it cannot be comprehensive and weasels find ways to abuse it. What we need is a firm with values for great...

    I don't trust a private company not to cut essentials to increase profit. Central legislation is inefficient and would be abused.

    In Times of Austerity

    Well, if a private company can be run efficiently why can't a nationalised one? The only difference is motivation. I'd come up with some kind of system whereby nationalised industries such as power, water, trains are incentivised to produce a profit for the state. They some run as independent...
