I find them pretentious, self righteous, intolerant, patronising and nasty. Anyway MK Dons have scored!

I think BTF that was the point.

Well then I probably subscribe to the charity begins at home mob - as long as I don't have to see the pictures of suffering abroad.

I am not qualified to answer what he does in his spare time and if he is out and about helping people then good on him. I do think that we only ever see him on Comic Relief and adverts and that says something. The big charity's have big marketing budgets and highly paid staff in their HQ - what happened to the old dears in Oxfam who put in their time for nothing. The best charities to support are local ones that have not got the resources to compete with the bigger ones.

I had assumed Verbal you spent your childhood locked in your bedroom with a dictionary.

What a great concept. We could pay a subscription to opt out of the tedious coverage; maybe they could give us a choice of something else to watch and they could raise even more money. Perhaps we could have a double whammy card that allows us to opt of of Children in Need. I hate it when self righteous celebrity's preach to us. What does Lenny Henry do for the rest of the year? All those hungry Africans need is him arriving showing them what it looks like when you have too much to eat. He is the Bob Geldof of comedy; hasn't worked for years but keeps his profile up once a year on Comic Relief so that he can get a few advertising contracts. Giving should be done discreetly and quietly.

To be fair I think this post says more about the poster than dunes.

Yes so would I. Particularly from your side. I concluded that the police were keen for a PR coup before the Euros and put together a greatly exagerated version of events that the judge who had limited understanding of football and its culture lapped up and handed out life changing sentences.

Just tell the old dear that your new one is at the repairers already ("wasn't like that when they made them in the UK "etc etc) and you need yours back for a while.

Pleased thing turned out OK

I loved the thread. There was a fella mentioned called Dougall who wore a sheepskin coat and never moved - he had been seen walking his dog in Fairoak I think. Then there was another guy whose name escapes me (Martin was it); waiting at the top of the stairs by some swinging doors with a chair while a mob of Chelsea fans were poised to charge upstairs. He had a motorbike accident I think. Thats not to glorify the trouble but they were just classic seventies folklore tales.

Did FF keep a copy? There was certainly talk of preserving it at the time. It was a fantastic assortment of memories from far and wide; each one triggering other people to remember.

Will it be plastic?

It went on for pages and pages but you must have read it. I found it a fascinating insight into my early years of supporting the club. Others may prefer the 'songs for Brentford' thread or 'what colour should the away shirts be next season' but not me thank you.

What's your hunch Verbal?

Don't sit on the fence vftt

Sometimes Sherlock Verbal you have to think out of the box

It is common knowledge in military circles. Why do you think that the Americans keep jumpiong up and down about Iran - because they know damn well what Iran is funding.

I do not have a clue about Egypt and Tunisia but I know that the war in Afghanistan stepped up a gear after the Irans upped their input. I would say it is likely that they are helping their shia brothers in Bahrain. You are being very naive and seem to forget that the Iranian Gov despises the West.b They blamed us for stirring up their own discontent and no I have no evidence buit I bet we did!

Iran was behind much of the roadside bombs that forced us out of Basra and now they are supplying the Taliban. You are very naive to ignore their influence as mere pr.

Yup that's £511 if yo want to have the radio on at work. Thank you for helping small business Gordon and dave

Simply awful. It will take a decade to put right.

I was p[robably too busy watching old war films.

He was convicted in a court of law. You cannot release somebody early ojn the grounds that 'he probably did not do it'. I agree with acting in the interests of your nation and dealing with unsavouries - We do iot everyday ourselves in life.

A long time ago!
