Here's something which sums up, exactly what is wrong in the public sector. I am a senior member of staff in a school. To raise achievement something both Labour and the Tories want us to do we have a programme of Saturday, evening and holiday revision sessions. Staff are paid for their time. I am not going to divulge how much but this is not additional money in the budget, it is money that is already there and has been earmarked for this. A member of staff, with what I would consider an appalling absence record is currently at my school earning extra money as I type this, having been absent sick from Wednesday morning onwards for which she has been paid in full. Am I right in thinking there is something wrong in that?

Stop whinging, just feckin subscribe. Mind you the chance of me watching sport on the HD telly in the living room is too say the least remote. thank god for multi-room.

oh and Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo

Alien The Godfather Trilogy Once Upon Time in America/The Untouchables

I couldn't put this any more succinctly. Alps you continually come across as a complete and utter KOK with you constant whining

The voice of reason, couldn't agree more.

I reckon it all started to go wrong when some T W A T started talking about cricket scores.

Remember having first ever Chinese meal at a restaurant opposite Edwin Jones as a birthday treat around 1966 or 67. As far as I can remember it was called the Celestial Garden

If sadly they have hung themselves at half time at least we can console ourselves with the knowledge that the feckin forum might possibly work quicker with their demise.

Are some people guilty of having ridiculous expectations? We were never going to win all our games left after Oldham. It was also on the cards that we would draw a few and have the odd loss when we were expected to win. So a normal football season then? These things happen!! After all, if one of 'those things' hadn't happened on May 1st 1976 we'd have never won the cup

Look at Stoupa. Mainland Greece southern Pelopponese. Lovely place not very commercialised at all. Have local contacts if interested.

Yep! however you'd have loved the late seventies/early eighties

This is a real shock' especially in light of the near miss I had in Bracknell last night with a driver of a red Audi on my cycle home. It was quite clear that the driver simply didn't see me on a roundabout and only some rapid evasive action got me out of a similar fate. I was well lit and properly attired. Don't want to preach to motorists as I am one too, but ffs look out for the cyclists!!

Right I'm off to the boredom of my turbo trainer.

going to be fun on here when this one ends!

Saturday 24th January 1976 FA Cup 4th Round Saints 3 Blackpool 1.

Alpine P155 off

Not really been near N Wales since. No head for high places. Do you remember listening to the the Grand National on the way up?

I'll try again, were you up Cader Idris that day?

Phil likewise were you at BWS in 76

Looks like a potential leg breaker from here

**** is the old b i t c h still going?

I've owned a 2.0 petrol Zetec Mondeo hatch since the middle of 2008. Although it isn't the fastest, it is comfortable, extremely well specced and a superb drive. I have the sports suspension on mine also. Can be a bit heavy on the juice, but that could be down to my right foot more than anything. I am due to decide what to do with it in May next year. I will either buy it outright or refinance it. I will not just be handing it back to the dealers as it has less than 20000 on the clock. Love the car.

Not remote on a global scale, but certainly out in the sticks. 3rd April 1976. On Cader Idris whilst on a A level Geography field trip. Radio reception wasn't good so no-one knew what was going on at Stamford Bridge. When we did pick up a signal Man U v Derby was the commentary on Radio 2. I remember listening to the Grand National. Rag Trade was the winner and then as we got lower down the slopes we picked up the other semi on the radio again. In a break in the play Bryon Butler announced that Saints were still one up at Stamford Bridge. Cue mad celebrations at this news. A little later the commentary cut to Stamford Bridge for the pen. Cue even madder wetter celebrations. There are lot of stream and pools up there. Que Sera Sera - Whatever will be, will be - We're going to Wemberley doesn't often ring around Snowdonia
