    He doesn't spring straight to my mind when I think of divers. But when you've played with Ashley Young, I guess you can get away with quite a lot.

    It did seem a bit of an odd thing to say. Won't make the player feel very welcome. It will be interesting to see whether he plays a proper striker role, and how he gets on.

    Yeah I think Liverpool got very lucky with our current American owners. Unlike our last lot!

    Yep, looks like it http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29177759 More Americans buying in to the PL.
  7. How the hell do you manage to save half your monthly income?

Yep, I made that point too. The classic belief that the streets of London are paved with gold, which they may well be, but a lot of the people living on these streets would be much better off if they were elsewhere.

The thread she started was asking what people down here were thinking / saying, because up there it has been wall to wall for weeks, I don't think we quite appreciate the coverage up there. I think people up there are largely happy with the way SNP have managed their budget. The yes campaign have succeeded in convincing everyone that the only way to do further good is by voting yes. They've made a bif thing about the lack of interest from Westminster, and convinced everyone that the recent promises are just empty promises from a desperate no campaign. Basically the feeling doesn't seem to be anti English, but very much anti westminster politicians. That's the impression I got anyway.
  11. I made that point, but they don't trust Westminster to follow through on promises of further powers should they stay.
  12. Getting to go to the science museum when there's hardly anyone there, and pressing all the buttons!
  13. Oooo, I love a dirty burger.
  14. It's at least 75% luck.
  15. I got more of a feel for the whole thing by joining in with them ladt night than I have through any news or debate I've seen / heard / read down here.

This was what her mother in law had to say. "Can I just say, the people ov scotland will decide on the future ov their children n their grandchildren n their children, we mite not have it easy for a good 10 to 20 years, but u have 2 look 2 the future, 4 our future generations, I'm certainly doing it 4 mine, it totally has nothing 2 do with disliking English people, we have relatives n friends south ov the border, we r not disowning you, far from it, the yes voters think we r doing what's best 4 us as a nation xx"

Shame, they were nice on the occasions I went there quite a few yeats back.
  18. Lou I'm not reallyr blaming all this on the tories, I just love the thought of that line being used on Cameron. You lost us half of the country, worst PM ever!!! Childish I know, but it makes me laugh.
  19. I've been wondering whether a slim YES victory of under 5% margin will really be enough to take them away. LM I think the tories changed her mind. She's seemingly fallen for the argument that Westminster and the tories especially, couldn't care less about what's good for Scottish folk. I do look forward to the Prime Ministers Questions where Cameron says "we've done this and we've done that", and the leader of the opposition stands up and says "you've lost half the bloody country!".
  20. My scottish mate (who has been back up there for about 4 years after a long spell in London) loved living here and was all Team GB when the Olympics were on and flag waving for the royal wedding. She was a firm "NO". Now she's a prettyr definite "yes" even though she hates Salmond. Not making a point, just sharing.
  21. Yeah benches would be nice. Is there still a garden centre on uplands road behind the betting shop on CP road (assuming that's still there, I've lost track)?

Which one did you find dark Otta? Ooops, didn't mean to include both. I was talking about The Handmaid's Tale, enjoyed it, but found it pretty bleak.
  23. Wasn't there a guy on here a while ago offering to walk around with his sheers trimming offending bushes?

    Club deny it. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/new-stadium-development-clarification-110914/
  25. But I did collect and read certain comics, so I guess I should give myself more credit, I just never thought of it as "reading" because "reading" seemed terribly boring.
