bridge too far

You don't scarify me, mush!

Dreadful pun, that, Trousers - dreadful! Mods!!!!! Turf him out eh?

Am I completely misunderstanding the situation or is this all, in reality, centred around 'protecting' Israel?

You'd draw on him for inspiration, wouldn't you

Wow - you guys are a mine of information! Thank you all so much. I didn't know about the hi-viz malarky or about the alcohol test kit so I'm really glad I asked the question.

Thanks Tim - we did look at LD lines but the number of ferries is limited and I think we'd pushed for a very early start with so many children to get ready lol. But we haven't ruled it out. Cheers people for all your replies - extremely helpful x

Thanks WC - I'm more and more coming round to the idea of the tunnel. Flying definitely a no-no, as you say. Not with babies - they need soooooo much stuff. If it was just Mr TF and me, we'd overnight it on the ferry and pootle down. However, the idea of getting babies to sleep overnight in a cabin is one stage removed from hell

We are thinking of booking a holiday in France during May 2014 half term. We've found a place we like a few kilometres south of Poitiers and we're now researching the best way to get there. There will be 11 of us in 3 cars and our party will include two 1 year olds and two 5 year olds. Bearing in mind that we are coming from Buckinghamshire, what would you travel worldly people suggest? We want to travel as cheaply as possible. Any thoughts gratefully received - especially from those of you who live in France. Cheers x

I seriously don't have a problem with Carragher! It must be the scouse in my genes

Now I've washed out the sick bucket, I'm thinking that there is a lower age limit for 'share' holders, isn't there?

For future reference: Bathe your feet in white spirit and soak them for about half an hour in strong black (cool) tea - that's what dancers do and, believe me, not many people have feet as tough as dancers! If you can somehow tape it to your heel before you put your sock on, try taping lambs wool to the affected area

There has been an arrest http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-23824773

One less piece of eye candy

Always wanted to go there and I have a friend who lives there. She tells me there are a lot of earthquakes going on ATM

I'm pretty sure he lived in the same road as my parents and that my son used to kick a ball around with his lad

I'd fight you to be first in the queue!

Perhaps they should take a leaf out of Accrington's books - if Beattie isn't too proud then why not Whittingham? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23726996

Is it still possible to put an asterisk next to the thread title to denote that it is a serious topic and not up for trolls?

So much praise from him for our club - good man

Nearly no. 2!

I'm actually crying here!

Their 'business case' (excuse my mirth) was predicated on a higher average attendance than that, wasn't it?

Frank Bough may have done a few dubious things but I don't think he has 'previous' for paedophilia TBF

Does that 'relatively lower' unemployment rate include people on zero hours contracts I wonder?
