  1. So he's been charged with common assault an drunk and disorderly.
  2. Japan says the UK is the gateway to Europe and to leave the EU would be detrimental to Japanese investment in the UK which would cost jobs in this country. I bet that's beyond the understanding of UKIP. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23393856
  3. It's not as glam as Fleetwood is it?
  4. I'm completely looking forward to a Rooney breakdown saga. It will be excellent car crash tv and probably quite soon.
  5. Super Braintree... Super Braintree Town Question: Where the hell is Braintree?
  6. This is a mental thread. Everyone has a little Alpine inside.
  7. Agree with above two posts. Rapid decline is setting in, much of it self perpetuated.
  8. Absolutely agree with this point. Alpine,s been popping steroids again.
  9. Agreed. People like Kraken trying to take moral high ground is pants. It's clearly unacceptable and stupid by the idiot concerned. I hope the company retain the work and that cockle is fired.
  10. Henson makes a habit of being a drunken Muppet though. Let's see how long he lasts at his eighth club Bath.
  11. It's part of the S106 agreements in the planning application. Developers often make S106 payments to local causes as mitigation against disruption caused by the proposal. It smooths any ruffled feathers and paves the way for the planning committee to wave it through.
  12. The Localism Bill originally had provision for local referendums to take place should 5% of the voting population within a local authority sign a petition demanding one. It was dropped after concerns from local authorities that the public could not be trusted enough to be responsible. The fear was that the public would consistently refuse necessary local developments such as new power stations, water treatment works, waste transfer stations etc, housing developments etc. The general public cannot be trusted with a referendum vote in most cases IMO.
  13. They need as many as possible given they are scheduled to pay Robinson £1.5m next month. Season tickets are about £340 for adults and less than £100 for kids. So if we assume they obtain about £250 for each season ticket their revenue is a whopping £2,250,000. Not much surplus there...
  14. I have increased my own investment in cyclical equities of late as I think we may be through the worst of it.
  15. Great Sunday of sport today.
  16. Almost worth reporting to the Advertising Standards Authority.
  17. I'm a social addict!
  18. The issue with planning permission is that most planning committees tend to vote with public sentiment in mind, irrespective of the planning details or the impartial recommendation from the planning officers. Councillors on planning committees are notorious for not being able to vote as they should on large scale applications. Their limits are roof extensions and new garages in my experience. So in this case I'd expect them to vote it through even if the planning officers recommend it is turned down.
  19. TopGun

    UK Holiday

    Pembrokeshire.
  20. That little dog nearly met its maker today. I gasped out loud watching it live today.
  21. Hope so.
  22. Presumably the most inept journalist in Britain means peeking!
  23. Kitson hung on until August last year so unclear whether he is owed cash. Realistically he must be a football creditor.
  24. The portly DCLG minister wins a few votes IMO http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23077801
