    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Or.... it means that due to no party having overall control legislation has to be more measured and we end up with better laws.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No, because HoC is constituency based and could very conceivably be ruled by a party that actually didn't receive the highest number of votes. Basing it on vote percentage leads to a significant change. Had a look at the last few elections. These are what would happen if the upper chamber had...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    How can it be a weakening of the law-making process when it can be effectively controlled by the party in government with new appointments. Just gets bigger and bigger and costs more? Plus the government can overrule them and push legislation through anyway, using the excuse they have no mandate...

    Keane and Dublin. Nuddy in behind.

    Tommy Hutchison Book

    Way before anyone's time now. 1920's/30's I think - time of Bourton etc. Forward line was outside left, inside left, centre forward, inside right, outside right.

    Was that under SISU? Play in Northampton and Birmingham, train in Dublin?

    So you think our protesting is similar to that of the French?

    Erm, I think a lot are arguing the Brits are spineless non-protesters.

    Everton

    I have a feeling that any investigation won't be completed in time for any penalties to be applied this season. Especially with a right of appeal.

    Think it was pretty common back in the day to play a 2-3-5 formation.

    Euro qualifiers 2024

    I agree. You sort of feel like we'll do pretty well, but will ultimately fall short. Fair enough to him, he's got further in tournaments than any other manager but it just feels like we're not making the most of what we've got. Part of that is because he picks certain players like Mount and...

    Big plans for Ryton

    I sort of get that, but IMO it makes sense economically to have everything together, so they can share certain facilities. Also if the youngsters can have access to the top equipment used by the pro's (different groups could use it at different times) chances are you'll be able to make better...

    Big plans for Ryton

    I think that this work is largely due to the club trying to work out what is causing so many injuries. Probably loads of factors, but this may well be one of them. It was shocking to see how poor under the pitches were. Almost like a modern garden - largely filled with rubble and covered with a...

    Still driving at 97 years old?

    Trouble with them only driving occassionally is you're exacebating the problem of deteriorating faculties with losing the 'muscle memory' of driving. Wierdly IF they're going to keep driving they need to do it regularly to keep their hand in.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'd be all for just treating any type of 'income', including capital gains as income and taxing it as that. Simplifying tax matters. Also do the same with IHT. Tax it as income for the beneficiary. If you chose to have it drip fed from trust then you may well pay less tax but will recieve the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hmm.. Daily Mail trying to trivialise Boris' actions by sharing the front page with a fluff story. I wonder if they might have some sort of agenda...:unsure:
