    Best goalkeeper in recent years

    Moonlight was OK but apparently got some stick and people were asked not to blame him. However those same people did try to make Boogie their scapegoat which I felt was unfair.. EDIT: Turns out I was mishearing them. They were in fact saying 'blame it on the Burgey"

    The Book of Mormon

    Had a look and there was a Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 which was done by a Mormon militia. I was more talking about the gold plates that Joseph Smith 'found' and 'translated' through his hat, even though when he was asked to translate them a second time the translation was slightly...

    Keogh

    I think the defence would be they were offered club transport home when the function ended but declined it to go elsewhere. But the decision to not sack the two main culprits will indeed be used against them.

    The Book of Mormon

    The Mormon back story is about as mad as that invented by L. Ron Hubbard.

    That is always a risk and some might argue rather hopeful or even naive of me. In mine I'd like to think it is accounted for slightly with scores for the leader/candidate but again you could quite like those individuals but felt the party as a whole was untrustworthy. There never will be a...

    Best goalkeeper in recent years

    But until the Pep/tiki taka era it was never really a consideration for a keeper. I'd argue it has arguably gone too far the other way now and the ability to play the ball is given higher consideration than goalkeeping ability. Sort of understandable at the top teamswho don't need to defend as...

    I did. I have to admit that being in a Labour stronghold did mean I didn't need to consider a tactical vote so I went with the analysis. I do also try to take into account what manifesto's DON'T say. That was why the Con one last time didn't score well - it was just obvious that stuff that was...

    General Election 2019 thread

    Although I'm probably a bit sad I go through the manifesto and look at all the policies and give each one a score out of 5. I then put them into categories like economy/jobs, education, healthcare, governance, sport/culture etc and these also get weighted out of 5 so things like economy...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Indeed the use of words like force etc does make it sound like a scare story. For me the point is do you trust or expect our government to stand up to the demands of the US, of which this is very likely to be one? On the whole I don't. On major stuff like this they'll nod their heads and...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Or the govt/parliament that ignored the requests for funding because it was too busy thinking about reducing spending everywhere than looking at why that spending is needed. They are always reactionary, not proactive. They only act WHEN the tragedy has occurred rather than heed the warnings...

    Sealey was a decent keeper, just a bit of a bell-end.

    It is a point that there is a higher likelihood of those involved in science and education to be left leaning. These are places that encourage people to question and test perceived 'truth'. Of course it isn't perfect and some results are kept quiet because they don't provide the desired answer...

    No, it should be a mix. But in troubled times it usually falls upon the public sector to make up the shortfall because the private sector retreats due to fear, heightening the problem. It is a time to invest in infrastructure projects to provide jobs and money into the economy, providing...

    Will basketball players be made to play on their knees? Or could a load of those circus people on stilts play?

    Yeah. So far no-one has succeeded but there have been some near Misses

    Understand the thought process but there could be some unfavourable things sneaking through under the Brexit radar and I couldn't allow myself to play even the tiniest part by failing to vote. None of the parties deserve to be voted for.

    But a lot of people will let it. Loads of people don't bother reading the manifesto. If it's not mentioned in the media or whatever it's not worth consideration.
