http://www.edwardrutherfurd.com/sarum.html I've read this twice now and it's a cracking read (although not strictly non-fiction). Quite topical at the moment with the new survey of the Salisbury area and of course the proposed tunnel

Even more scary are the lorry drivers who use their mobiles manually. There's a particular blackspot where the M40 meets the road to Milton Keynes (Cherwell Services?). The roundabout has a poor camber but still the stupid idiots hack up the M40 sliproad onto the roundabout using their phones leaving one hand to negotiate the roundabout.

Here's the plan to get us out debt apparently - incur substantially more personal debt! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/george-osbornes-deficit-reduction-plan-requires-unprecedented-binge-in-personal-borrowing-9904499.html

Sorry - should have put the rolling eyes thing. I was being sarcastic - it won't help first time buyers at all, as you have indicated too http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30291460

Economists seems to think that the main effect of the stamp duty change will be that 'cheap' houses will become more expensive and 'expensive' houses will become cheaper. So that'll help first time buyers then

Co-incidentally Twiggy, this has been in the news today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-30193095

So we'll need to keep an eye on who they are fielding for each match - to make sure they don't fall foul of the loans to permanent players ratio.

See what happens when I go outside for a lucky fag!

I think part of the problem is that Women's football wasn't recognised from 1921 until 1971 so there has been a lot of catching up to do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_association_football

He can't train with the Blades any more http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30054475

Just read this on another site I belong to. Thought it would appeal to all you old farts out there

It's an awesome drama isn't it Wurzel. Had to record last night's episode (because of the football) and I've just caught up. Like you, I thought at the outset that it mirrored the McCann case.

The BBC news website might be worthy of examination at some point. It seems to only allow comments on fairly benign topics

Guilty as charged M'Lud:blush:

Interesting take on it in the Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/ebola/11236278/Why-Adele-was-right-to-ignore-Bob-Geldof-and-Band-Aid.html

Hate to p*$$ on anyone's parade, but it seems from this that Tesco is developing some new stores http://www.thametoday.co.uk/news/local-news/thame-tesco-announces-plans-for-new-store-1-6422081 Mind you, it's owned the site for nearly 10 years and only just applied for OPP so maybe it'll all come to nothing.....

He's even said he'll form a coalition with Labour! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage/11226666/Ukip-could-prop-up-Labour-coalition-in-return-for-referendum-on-Europe.html I would hope that Ed would tell him to do one

Sorry - can't get this smaller but Batman here's the problem

So, if Tesco pulls out, Sainsbury is unlikely to step in? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30016027

Just over 11000 according to the BBC

Drawing, at home, with the mighty Aldershot

So, Rallyboy, if Tesco doesn't OWN the land but Robinson does, then he will make a bigger killing if he gets PP for residential, won't he? If that's the case, I wonder how much of his extra bunce he'll give to the phew.
