bridge too far

My son's found a pub in Soho showing the game

Actually the corner shop is probably subsidising Tesco by paying taxes to provide in work benefits for Tesco employees.

There you go - you and me and everyone else paying taxes to SUBSIDISE a wealthy football club. Disgraceful

Huffington reporting it too - Richard Dawkins has made his views known http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/02/11/chapel-hill-muslim-student-shootings-spark-islamophobic-outcry-lack-media-coverage_n_6659562.html?1423656556

Me too

This is an interesting illustration of where the UKIP vote is supposedly coming from: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/laurence-stellings/ukip-poll-voters_b_6631026.html?utm_hp_ref=tw

Slag? What does that make the man / men involved then?

And off the coast of Sicily are the Aeolian Islands. Very quaint and each of the 5 islands is unique. Fabulous boat-trip at night to watch Stromboli, a constantly active volcano. The biggest island is Lipardi but it really is like stepping back into the 1960s. Probably the best pizza I have EVER had there. But probably wouldn't appeal to a 'youngster'.

And with fog lights when it ain't foggy!

Two things bug me 1. Middle lane hogs - they still exist even though I think it's now an offence 2. Drivers using hand-held mobile phones, especially truck drivers.

Andy Murray lives in London so pays his taxes to the UK. Djokovic lives in Monte Carlo so any tax he pays doesn't go to Serbia I guess

A mate of mine went to the match (to support Wycombe) and he said Wycombe were lucky to get a draw!

What a load of dinosaurs on this board.

Meh - crap teams often play above their ability against good teams. We know that, after all. They're still only 2 points of the relegation zone.

C'mon you Dagenham!

Here's what Thameslink customers have achieved http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-31067355

Watching / listening to Sea Sick Steve at Cropredy - don't know which channel. Love that guy

It certainly needs an audit, says this now-retired capital and procurement auditor! I might have a look at the European Journal later to see the wording of the original advertisement. But I'm sure someone's on the case. Interesting I think that Tory MP Malcolm Rifkind sits on the board of the 'successful' bidder and gets £60K p.a. for doing so. Value for money from their perspective!

Gone to a 5th set

Djokovic v Wawrinka on now - great match. One set all.

I'm a big fan of King Games - the word games.

No mention of stores still to be built that might be mothballed. Construction has stopped on one of their local stores in a nearby village to me. Has construction started on the flagship store in desirable Fratton?

Only with the grandchildren now - I had a bad skiing accident that damaged one knee and then last year I managed to bugger up the other one. So the spirit's there but fear kicks in these days!
