We have but they've started getting complacent. I mean, they actually went and let a goal in at OT last weekend. That's 3 already this season! They need some pressure to keep them on their toes.

The word "abduction" may not appear but indicates they have gone into the investigation with a pre-conceived outcome in mind. Further, if they are really investigating all possibilities then the McCanns have to be considered as possible suspects until categorically eliminated. So seems very strange.

I find this bit most interesting Bearing in mind the McCann's have paid a LOT of (donated to appeal?) money to private investigators who appear to have done little or nothing, I wonder what that may reveal.

I would guess he means the shop premises were far bigger than they needed for their own merchandise sales so Soccer Scene have taken part of the space on a concession basis. The boot sales will be SS sales not PFCs but they'll take royalties i.e, a percentage of sales instead of rent for the space.

I have converted the data of date/league position over last 3 years into a graph, extrapolated the upward curve further and come to the conclusion that sometime between Xmas & New Year we will run out of leagues to play in.

Cheers for the reply. The fire is a nice feature but very very rarely turn it on (room has 2 radiators in). It doesn't matter how high the flames go it doesn't seem to generate any heat in the room, so I can well believe your 20% figure. The vent is about 7ft up wall approx 9 - 10 ft away from the fire so much further away than your 100cm². I could easily block up vent and retain fire for decoration (although probably get a downdraft from flue as well) and never use it but would that be breaking any regulations and/or cause problems if I come to sell house?

Further to the utilities thread and cutting fuel bills, when my house was built it had a gas fire (never saw it but guessing some kind of sealed in unit) with a back boiler . This necessitated a (very drafty) vent in the outside wall, I'm guessing to prevent any chance of roomful of oxygen being burnt and not replenished. The back boiler was removed before we purchased it and replaced with an open flame gas fire (which we rarely use as room has radiators) which exits through the same chimney flue as the back boiler would have done. Question : Can I seal over the wall vent permanently or would it still be needed when such a fire is being used? I'm thinking as it's an open gas fire then oxygen can still enter room via the flue but could be a drastic mistake if I'm wrong.

3 bed semi but just the 2 of us now (most of the time). Gas/Electric £116 per month which, looking at bills, is currently in credit by enough to cover the winter bills without increasing it. Changed to water meter - no choice but was going to ask for one anyway - in early summer. Yet to receive a metered bill, currently paying £55 a month, the above comments give me hope that it should come down substantially. One. thing annoys me, we have a combi boiler which reputedly saves on the gas compared to our old one. But running a bowl for washing up means wasting a whole bowlful of now metered cold water before the hot reaches the tap. Pretty sure kitchen is at the end of the circuit from the boiler, I guess the cost of changing the routing would far outweigh any savings on water costs?

Great idea. Or maybe combine the two. A wage cap whilst playing but contracts allowed to include sums over and above that only payable once retired from playing. That would sort out those that are really playing for the love of the game whilst still rewarding them financially later in life.

Not just the McCanns. Other members of the "Tapas" group were equally guilty of leaving their kids home alone as it were. The fact Maddy went missing/died and theirs didn't doesn't lessen that offence. If they'd held and charged them all I'd hazard a guess at least one would have cracked and spilled the proverbial beans.

Well I know if it had been my daughter I'd have been out there searching as soon as I realised she was missing, not stayed in the apartment for hours whilst others searched.

There's some amusement being had on twitter with the #RedknappClaims hashtag.

I'd go for the England win. They may well need God's assistance. Saints are quite capable of winning at Old Trafford without it. Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 2

A friend of a friend decided he would play badminton the same evening. One energetic smash shot later he was on his way to A&E to have it re stitched. Had it myself about 12 years ago. Got a rather embarrassing story about it but oh dear only 3 posts a day Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 2

Exactly. Just to emphasise the point, 2 "Evening withs......." coming up at Totton, one with MLT one with David Armstrong (the latter, IMO, a far better all round player). So should the club be sending a representative to these? As I said earlier, where do you draw the line?

^^^This Plus whilst I appreciate in some people's eyes - not mine - he was our best ever player, the club has to make a decision to support all such events or none. As above, next could be a tribute to Benali or Lawrie, what about David Speedie or Souness. All servants of the club to one degree or another. Where does the line get drawn?

Not on the pitch obviously but off it. Could collusion like this between fans and club improve the atmosphere at SMS? http://fsf.org.uk/blog/view/boro-let-fans-enjoy-the-match-their-way

Now when it comes to complying with trades descriptions etc there isn't. To run out of something on offer is annoying but understandable. To take a customers money and palm them off with something they haven't ordered with no explanation is very poor customer service at best, a breach of the sale of goods act at worst. Having said that why any one would pay the sort of money charged for the quality of food on offer is beyond me.

This. Plus it gives you another 30,000 potential audience.

Sounds like the emotion of the occasion has got to you. I'd recommend a short stiff drink to make you feel better Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk 2

Much as I'd like to agree with you that's an urban myth. Everyone my age and older remember's that being reported in the Echo, but there is no mention of it anywhere official. A member of the original working party for the bridge (now retired and certainly not one to stick up for the council of either party) told me personally that it was never even a consideration.

If the aim was to help Woolston it would never have been built in the first place - it was a much busier place in the days of the Floating Bridge before the "bypass bridge" was built.

My favourite - nothing special except for how steep it is. Feels like 45degrees but probably much less in reality. You just have to put you foot down and go, absolutely no idea what's coming the other way (a coach when I done it once!!!) until you crest it as you're staring straight into the blue sky. Northern end of La Manga strip in Spain.

Vasili Arkhipov done a pretty good job as well. Is it only a matter of time until someone makes the wrong choice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov
