Until they transfer to United/City/Chelsea/Spurs/Liverpool. Then they will magically overnight become worthy of a call-up. To be honest I'm fine with that. England are a mediocre, underachieving team bereft of wit, guile and intelligence. Why would you want to expose your players to that? Lallana and/or Cork will get far more out of establishing us as a competitive Premier League side than they will from the odd 45 minutes in a friendly against Lichtenstein. I cannot think of a single player in the past 15 years that has been in any way 'enriched' (ie their club form has improved significantly) from being selected by/playing for England. I can think of a fair few that have taken a nosedive.

I suspect if the match had finished 2-2, with Newcastle getting two penalties in identical circumstances, everyone would be pretty outraged... they were debatable at best, in which case it shouldn't be given. Rodriguez's goal was definitely onside.

99% of the time this is what happens when a burglar is confronted, it's not a violent crime in the same way a robbery is so the suspect's initial reaction is usually to try and flee. My parents' house got burgled 3 times when I was younger and living there, for the cars each time. It never really affected me, but I can understand why it does some people. Never been burgled since. There are some fairly basic things to do to radically reduce your chance of being burgled. It's a crime of opportunity more often than not, so if you make your house a harder target than those around it chances are it won't get screwed. Bikes (or anything of worth) in sheds are an obvious one, if your shed is easily accessible from the road don't store anything of value in it.

Thing is, he's a problem child. Yes he's doing well at the moment, but if he has two or three crap games and is dropped, what's his response likely to be? Graft and effort to get back into the team, or toys-out-of-pram hissy fit? I know which one I'd put my money on... Nigel's done a great job rehabilitating him (how many people would have said he'd even still be at the club 9 months ago, let alone starting and playing well), but it does have the feel of a temporary thing. Having said that, there's not much the club can do, these dats even if you want to move a player on the best option is to keep him happy and playing well, increases the chance of someone coming in for him

Completed, but agree that the flow of the questions needs to be more inituitive and specific. It doesn't properly distinguish between someone who commutes daily to work, for whom the survey would have virtually no relevance and would necessarily skew the responses into the negative pot (for a commuter researching routes/buying tickets online is an irrelevance), and the far more relevant data pool of people who use public transport for occasional other purposes. I would suggest that you want to deliberately exclude regular commuting travel from the survey if you want a meaningful set of responses.

How much of that 10billion was made up from your taxes, exactly?

The Wokingham-Waterloo train (the line that Ascot and Sunningdale etc) are on is not great, it's a bit of a stopper and slow. Have you considered the M4 corridor? The Reading-Paddington line is very quick into London (I'm on it right now in fact!), and it is only going to get better when Crossrail comes online. You have quite a few areas around there that would fit the bill perfectly, particularly if you look at the little 'spur' lines off Maidenhead (Bourne End, Marlow) and Twyford (Wargrave, Shiplake, Henley).

Well... not really. I don't have the time or inclination to explain how wrong your understanding is. Suffice to say it is. Do some basic learning about AQ and about the Taliban, at the very least, and you will quickly work out why.

The older one. 30k/year is significant mileage that is going to put a big dent in the resale value, so you're better off with the car that has done most of its depreciation already. The German prestige marques tend to depreciate heavily for 5 years, then flatten out. Also don't necessarily go for a very low mileage car. An '04 with 50k has done 8k a year, at that rate it could quite easily be a stop-start school runner/shopping trolley that never sees the motorway, for a diesel of that sort of age that is pretty bad news for the DPF and means that when you suddenly step it up to 30k/year it's potentially not going to last as well as a motor already used to doing decent miles. And 50k is the no-man's land where you will find yourself running into the first set of costly bills like replacement timing belts very soon. You'd be better off with something that's done 80-90k, regularly serviced fleet miles with the first round of replacements already done.

Bonus points for the pure aggression. I would love Colin Murray to be holding his hand at the time.

In those two sentences you've nailed everything there is to know about this book. It's naughtiness for people who have never been on the Internet beyond Facebook. The author was one of those fan-fiction weirdos who used to write stories about Twilight characters until she was basically hounded out of their bizarre little group for making them too explicit. If it had been a guy, he'd be either in the back of Club International, or on the Sex Offenders Register. But it's a woman, so she's a multi millionaire 'author'. Image is everything.

But that's my point - 'ownership' of property is an incredibly complicated matter governed by hundreds of years of evolution of legal method. You can't selectively take some aspects of that method and abandon others to establish a theory. Land tenure is essentially a legal fiction made up out of thin air during the Norman Conquest - but even so, the modern concept and effect of land tenure bears little to no relation to William's big 'land grab'. All land in the UK is held 'of the Crown', but that's not the same thing as saying the Crown *owns* all the land - unless you want to elevate one aspect of the concept of 'ownership' artificially above others.

This is a common myth based on partial or wilful misinterpretation of Land Law. It hasn't been true for the best part of 800 years.

How fast is your broadband? Just download/stream whatever you want to watch.

By far the most flexible and cost effective solution is to buy a half-decent PC and connect it directly to a TV. However many bells and whistles a 'smart TV' has, it will have some limitations, either now or in the future, by it's inherent nature as a static platform. My PC is sat behind the TV/stand in the corner so you'd never know it was there. HDMI straight into the back of the telly, wireless keyboard and mouse so I never have to actually physically access it. SSD for boot/applications drive and 3TB of storage, perfectly fast enough to sleep/wake within 2 seconds, play full 1080p media, play pretty modern games if that's your thing (last one I tried was Mass Effect 3 which ran fine in full HD), chomps through every application I need/use ie Photoshop, Premiere, and obviously as a PC lets me access basically any web service that exists and can be changed/upgraded on a whim. Try doing all that with a Smart TV. Whole solution (including 46" LED TV) probably cost about £1200 18 months ago, so would be perfectly possible to do similar for a grand now.

Sorry to **** on your chips but there is very little the Police will do. The minor nature of the offence coupled with the amount of grief it will entail to get anywhere with it means it will very quickly go into the 'Too Difficult' box. You'd be better off pursuing a civil remedy for breach of contract or similar.

There was an old Scotsman who was walking with his grandson. Presently, they came upon a wall. “Ye see that wall, there, laddie?” “Aye.” “I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built twenty others just like it. But do they call me the wall builder? Nay.” They continued walking. “Ye see that barn, there, laddie?” “Aye.” “I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built thirty others just like it. But do they call me the barn builder? Nay, laddie.” They continued their walk until they came upon a house. “Ye see that house, there, laddie?” “Aye.” “I built it, I did. I built it with my own two hands. I built fifty others just like it. But do they call me the house builder? Nay. But you **** *one* sheep…”

Should someone who steals be branded a thief? Er... yes. Yes, he would be. How much attention were you paying when you studied law, exactly?

Gazza, Davis, Boruc, in that order. And then Boruc will move up as the weeks go by.

Bravo sir. Ted Danson as Bryan as Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible 8.

He's just a poor man's Clive Warren IMHO. Needs Rebecca De Mornay to get the best out of him. I didn't see it btw. That is all.
