That is ****ing hilarious, even the poster looks like a bloke in a balaclava. On a side note if people want to ban the burkha shouldn't there also be a ban on the wearing of hoodies and baseball caps? I'm sure the burkha is used in practically zero crimes in this country by comparison and i would also suggest that they're certainly more intimidating to the majority of people.

Isn't this about how we feel about the veil rather than what it actually represents, if you feel threatened and need to cross the road that says more about what's going on in your head than the wearer. The only occasion where it should be essential to remove the veil is when identity is needed such as court or passport control.

PM sent regarding eating out.

I've got a friend who's a 'hatted chef' (Aussie Michelin Star) in NSW, would you like me to ask him for recommendations for eating out in Sydney?

So people with nothing to gain like Friends of the Earth are wrong and the people who will gain financially are right? I see a few people in high places getting briefcases full of reddies.

If you want to get a little agitated then follow the link above and then click on the Premier League Team Guide to Saints, any guesses as to which player gets the most coverage?

As above, if they don't have insurance or full payment then no test drives. Don't leave anyone alone with the car or keys. Highlight any problems, it makes you appear honest. If taking cash then check all the notes and count carefully, if at all possible get a bank transfer (unless its under a grand). Good luck.

So where do you stand? The cut and paste job you just posted doesn't really say anything. Are you Sarah Palin in disguise? Is it damp under the bridge?

All those barmaids are a drain on resources.

Okay, fair point so i'm giving this link to Nature.com which is the website for Nature magazine a well respected scientific journal. Nature magazine article

Chemical companies Bayer & Syngenta are suing the EU for saving Bees! Don't let them. That could mean no more Cider or Gin. Dickheads. Save the Bees

My SIL is Brasilian, we visited about 4 years ago and stayed in Brasilia and Natal. The country is fantastic, the people friendly and the food is eclectic but generally good (best steak you'll ever have!), great seafood and sweet pizza - strawberry & chocolate and cinnamon which are actually alot better than they sound. Beer comes almost frozen, the local spirit is Cachaca (sugar-cane rum) and is minging. Great for Sushi as Brasil has the largest Japanese population outside Japan. Salvador is the originator of Carnival in Brasil and considered to be better than Rio by the natives. As has been said usual rules apply, no expensive looking cameras, phones or jewellery or watches to be on the safe side. Learn some phrases, although a lot of people speak a little english, don't get hammered and act like an arse. The airlines are decent with mostly modern aircraft, clothing is expensive although Havaianas (flip-flops) are fantastic and cheap in the supermarkets. The rich and poor live side by side and you may see some sights which don't sit well but nothing too bad, although i felt perfectly safe the in-laws didn't really like us being out on our own, as we apparently didn't have a sixth sense for potential problems. Generally be nice, polite and not flash and you'll have a fantastic time.

Aside from readers of the Daily Express does anyone actually give a ****?

I think its a great location, although not very pretty at the moment it's about as near to the city centre as you can get and it has reasonable transport links. If you've ever been to Reading or Derby you'll know that being stuck on an industrial estate on the outskirts of town is much worse.

Fair play to him, it takes a bit of mettle to do your own thing and not follow the crowd.

Series 4 being played again on Sky Atlantic next Monday night, hopefully they'll be picking up the series from 6, 7 & 8.

I thought you needed a hi-viz for every person in the car?

It an old courtesy for when you're on a tight or single track hill, it takes less effort to roll down hill compared to a vehicle stopping and restarting on an upwards slope. Common sense really.

Cork will be essential to the club this season, he's a very talented player and ironically his versatility is what will probably keep him from starting regularly.

You are kidding? 99% of parents see their children see them through rose tinted glasses. I feel sorry for teachers, they have to deal with teens in 'real mode' rather than 'tone it down in front of the parents mode'.

People who fail to realise that cyclists don't ride single file because every ****er in a vehicle thinks it's ok to pass within 5mm of your handlebars rather than waiting the whole 30 seconds to a minute for a gap to appear. People who reverse out onto roads from a drive etc. rather than reversing into the drive and coming out forwards. Every driver who doesn't realise vehicles going uphill have right of way. Horse Riders. People who thinks it's 'cool' to be anti-everything. People who chuck litter out of their cars. Chuggers. The muppets who put the charity bags through my letterbox, **** off you're killing the planet. Teenagers. Chain Coffee shops. Ramblers. Wannabe Casuals, hooligans etc.

Location might be useful

Claiming you can't understand what he's saying is a little childish, he's got very good reviews from the press, i suggest you form your own opinions rather than trawling twitter for some thing to copy.

I thought he was alright, at least he was well informed and fairly current unlike the usual ex-pro's they wheel out who've been out of the game for years. The most annoying pundit is Peter Reid, comes across as smug, ill-informed and out of touch.
