Shame they missed out Long Island. They could have put Southampton in... Southampton.

There's no such thing. Land Law is horrendously complicated because of the way it has developed (it's probably the most historically tangled area of law there is, maybe bar Constitution), and beyond some very broad and basic influences, EU legislation does not interfere with it. So each member state has its own, very convoluted, very individual, rules. You only need to look at how wildly different it is between the UK and France, for example.

No, it's FTTC in the vast majority of cases - Fibre To The Cabinet (ie that green box near your house), then copper to your door.

I'm 99% sure this is not the case. His contract was terminated by mutual consent, not paid up in full. Do you have any evidence to suggest this is what happened? There is absolutely nothing to gain by a club paying up a player's contract early, so it is pretty unlikely.

Precisely. Waitrose sell a lot of good products. They also sell a lot of **** ones. The same can be said of Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, M&S, Booths, Borough Market, and from my limited experience of Aldi, there too. Surely the point is the quality of the product, rather than where you buy it from, and as no single retailer sells exclusively good or exclusively **** products, there is mixed value to be had in a variety. Only an absolute cretin who thinks that the supermarket you shop at is some sort of status symbol (ie some of the people on this thread) doesn't get that.

Interesting, we shop at Waitrose largely through lack of choice (our nearest supermarkets are Waitrose, followed by Waitrose, and then Waitrose...), I've given up on their meat because with the exception of lamb it's very average, the fish is dreadful, and the wine selection is extremely limited and offers very little value. The whole Essentials thing is a con as well, about 5% cheaper than the standard Waitrose stuff which still makes it a good 10% more expensive than comparable products from the other supermarkets. There is an Aldi about half an hour away that we went to for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago, after finally convincing the wife. Couldn't do my full shop there, but what you can pick up which is of equal or better quality is without fail significantly cheaper. It's a bit like supermarkets used to be in the 80s (or still are in places like northern France), before they became behemoths - just feels a bit low rent, but if you can see past that it definitely makes sense. Doubt I'll be able to convince the missus to make it a regular feature though. The champagne at £12 is excellent.

Sorry mate, you're normally on the money but this time you're wide of the mark. He's on remand for murder, so he's Cat A, no ifs no buts. The last thing he wants is to go to seg, because that means he doesn't get to hang out with all the other TACT prisoners and radicalised converts/reverts.

Just get Ultrasurf

Yep got the same thing all of a sudden. Presumably the forum admin turned notifications on because I certainly didn't update the app. You can turn it off in Settings

Which would only be relevant if we were paying out his contract, afaik there is no suggestion we are doing that?

No.

Take a day off

Three players for two positions, especially central midfield, should be an absolute minimum in terms of playing staff for the Premier League. It is no coincidence that our most shambolic period defensively last season is when Cork was out. We were also incredibly lucky that, barring those initial games, neither Cork nor Morgan had any moderate or serious injuries. That is very unlikely to be the case again given the positions they play and the amount of work they do. Add in fatigue, loss of form, the fact that we will certainly play the three together in at least parts of games next season (away to the likes of United/City/Chelsea for example, when overloading the midfield is key to controlling the game), and hopefully more Cup games, and there will be more than enough playing time for all three players. Id expect all three of them to hit 30+ appearances.

I think it's about the perceived lack of quality and experience of the pilots. A colleague of mine is an ex airline pilot and said much the same thing - said there's no way such an inexperienced pilot would be allowed to land a 777 for someone like BA, for example.

Obviously Keegan. It's not even a discussion. Were any other players European Player of the Year when they joined?

It's not really that strange. On June 13th the Home Office asked the Met (who previously weren't dealing with the matter) to conduct a review of the investigation, and report back this week. That has now been done, and the Met think there are enough unanswered questions in the initial investigation to warrant a full re-investigation. It's not as if the Met have been investigating it for the past 6 years, and all of a sudden decided to pipe up about it.

Went over your head then...

In other news... we can reveal a shocking and disturbing trend has emerged within schools in England. Children up and down the country are being held against their will by teachers, deprived of basic freedoms and liberties and subjected to conditions akin to a Victorian workhouse. Up to thirty children at a time are locked in a room with no food or water, and no access to the outside world. They are not even allowed to call their parents. They are forced to do manual labour or repetitive pointless tasks. Many children understandably find this appalling and degrading treatment extremely distressing, but their pleas fall on deaf ears of the teachers at the heart of this shocking behaviour. Schools have been imposing these sanctions arbitrarily with no right of appeal or redress. 'these allegations are disgusting', a well-meaning but ultimately ill informed and misguided commentator said. 'we trust schools to be a place of safety and education, but in truth they are treating our children as no better than common criminals. Michael Gove, Education Secretary, has ordered an immediate enquiry and promises the harshest of punishments if the allegations turn out to be true. ...OR... Naughty children get detention. It's amazing what you can do with words...

Do you have a macro for this? Would save you the hassle of typing it out every time

you forgot the fag-enabling. Clearly their biggest draw. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the title of their greatest hits album.

+1 perfectly encapsulates my own position. The main two things that were keeping me with iOS was the slick and polish of the interface where everything just *worked*, and the legacy connection to the various bits of compatible kit I own. With the former, a steady rise in the quality of the Android user experience seems to have coincided with a similar fall in iOS, to the point that Google's offering now seems the more polished. Can you imagine the Maps or Podcasts debacles happening (and remaining unresolved for so long) when Jobs was in his pomp? For the latter, ironically Apple themselves torpedoed all my old kit with Lightning. Now it doesn't matter because *any* new handset I get isn't going to be compatible, so I know I've got to start from scratch regardless. Previously, upgrading was a given. Now it seems Apple want another few hundred quid for the same old problems and precious few new solutions. 'Good money after bad' pretty much sums it up.

...because Riquelme and Soldado are such 'unknown quantities'??? This isn't the early 90s. Most people (with the exception of MOTD pundits and, apparently, you) know a bit more about football outside the Premier League than 'it's all full of foreign fancy dans innit'. I mean we're hardly talking about a 19 year old Guatamalen who plays in the MLS. You chose to illustrate your point about unknown players with two incredibly well known internationals. I struggle to comprehend the parallel universe where Charlie Adam is more 'big time' than ****ing *Riquelme*... christ alive. What next - 'forget about this Raphael Varane bloke, what we need is premier league experience, get Scott Dann on the phone'? (not that I am suggesting for one iota we have enquired after or have any chance of signing Varane.)
