Not to mention our non-independant nuclear non-deterrent which is costing god knows how much for little benefit.

He has the distinction of keeping a clean sheet in the Cup Final but ending on the losing side.

Large amounts of foreign aid are for political influence, hence India & Pakistan.

But those 1.6m have clean water, sanitation, a free health service, free education and basic food. I imagine that many countries would regard our definition of "poverty" as luxurious.

Good to see that he's over his cancer problems.

There should be small teams formed of Police, Inland Revenue and Customs. They would check car tax and insurance, income tax and VAT. I'm sure this lot would rapidly exit when they knew that they were on the way. There are authorised sites (Kanes Hill) but if they stay there, they pay for electricity, water and Council Tax.

Anne Frank's house is a fascinating and sobering experience.

I was at BP a few years earlier. Remember epic snowball fights with the Quilleyites on the playing fields.

Exactly. That's why Cloughie never got it, when he was the best candidate by miles.

Commentators (usually the less articulate ex-player) who say "He headered the ball".

I see that Hurn Airport now charges you to drop someone off or pick them up. You have no choice but to enter the paying area as all other ways are blocked. Some people are walking in from the public road and they've even tried to stop them doing that.

Over the last week I've mapped and gapped the requirements to consolidate everything into a programme of work to maximize synergy capture, productise the content, and optimize our resource utilization If that sounded like work, I'll do some more next week when I'll also do some blue-sky thinking and grab the low-hanging fruit.

R. Solent saying this morning that we've had a bid accepted, but that Burnley and others stiil in the hunt.

The energy required is the mass x gravity x height lifted. So insert the required numbers and all will be revealed.

Roman Road behind the petrol station on Chilworth roundabout or Bassett Wood Road.

Good point. I can either get my fruit and veg from Sainsburys in Shirley, or go 50 yards down the High Street to the market stall outside the pub where it's considerably cheaper. Fruit and veg have one of the biggest mark-ups in the supermarket. it may look nice but it's bloody expensive.

We have a milkman 3 time a week. The milk is more expensive but he also sells a wide variety of other stuff. If you order online before 9.00pm it's delivered the next morning. It's handy if you've run out of bread, cheese, bacon, eggs etc. They also perform a useful function of keeping an eye on the old people. Many a time a milkmen has called the police because an elderly person hasn't left their empties out for a few days.

Fruit Shortcake or Garibaldi.

And they call Rooney a world-class striker? He's good but compare his performance with Messi's and he pales into insignificance. Mind you, having the Barca midfield supporting you helps. Too many old men in the Man U team now.

What amazes me is that people are willing to humiliate themselves on these programmes. The producers deliberately pick a proportion of absolute no-hopers so that we can all have a good laugh at them. And as for the people on Jeremy Kyle, where do they find them?

The problem with foreign aid is that it's not about directly helping people, it's about political influence. Hence Pakistan can afford its own nuclear progam but will still give them loads of dosh to try and keep them on side and not becoming more extremist. Whether that's successful or not is a matter of debate.

Back in the dark ages when I was at Barton Peveril Grammar, you had to do it if you wanted to ride your bike to school.
