    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    In America its amazing how far money will get you. It might stick and he'll be out in the 2 years or he might get away with it. Could be an inside asassination job though.

    Taking kids on holiday during term time

    that's more realistic My two do still read a bit now even though they're teenagers. They are probably the exception rather than the norm though.

    Taking kids on holiday during term time

    I've had stats come from my own kids schools showing a direct correlation of absenteeism and dropping results from kids. They all push for kids to be in school as that's where they're supposed to be when its open to maximise their chances of learning. Saving a couple of hundred quid on a holiday...

    Taking kids on holiday during term time

    Doubt its to do with rich vs poor with regards to reading ability in holiday times. More to do with parents ensuring that their kids do some reading instead of sitting on games consoles all day when they're off school. Rich or poor doesn't come into it, parenting does.

    Taking kids on holiday during term time

    My other half works at a school and if they think people are on the blag they call the parents mobile. Foreign ringtone and they're bang to rights.

    John Terry to Birmingham

    £60k per week for someone who is absolutely loaded. It doesn't look like he's in it for the love of the game does it?

    How many away grounds have you done with CCFC?

    I remember playing wigan in the cup away when it was pissing down and loads of people kept slipping over on the grass verge trying to get to the little shelter they had on the top of the verge. It was a true shithole.

    How many away grounds have you done with CCFC?

    I'm about the same. Two I will struggle with are Fulham and Huddersfield who I cant see us playing for a fair while.

    Stoke interested in Chris Camwell - Camwell Signs New Contract Thread!

    This is good news for us and him in my opinion. He'd probably be sitting in the reserves stagnating at Stoke and end up going backwards whilst he could well play a fair few first team games for us this season getting better all the time. WIN WIN in my eyes.

    Offers in for Ryan Haynes

    I can never understand the attraction of defenders that can't defend. As for his 27 games last season, I think that had Stokes been fit then Haynes could well have been let go in the January window as he'd have hardly go any game time. To say that Stokes is slow based on one game when he'd just...

    Book Recommendations

    I really enjoy any of Bernard Cornwell's books. Picked one up for a pound in Matalan a few years back and got hooked on them. They're fiction but based on historical facts.
