Hope they 'agree'. My neighbour decided to bribe a difficult other neighbour to get them to sign.

I know I'm getting old when I think that a lot of people are just bloody lazy when they would rather go through the commuting crush than travel a bit earlier.

I'm not sure it's so easy given the ifs, buts and maybes there are with so many tariffs offered. Someone was saying as much on the radio this morning stating that it's just not as simple as comparing petrol prices.

You probably didn't think about it eight years ago either.

Can't blame them if the punters are idiots.

Someone else started a similar thread recently. My own bill for the last quarter was the highest its ever been. BG kindly sent me an email as to how I could save about ?60 a year. Big deal. I think the biggest problem with suppliers is it seems impossible to compare like for like or is it a case of doing more research?

Now there's a word. How is it defined?

How do Kiwi's think then Chillaxed? Was he fair game? I saw Wade against Leinster and he is fast. I don't know enough about him to know what his defence is like though.

It got better.........6. Thanks for the tips.

Of course it's a sweeping statement. Tongue was in cheek writing it though I'm not sure why EP implies that dubs should know better!

Well travelled is one thing but emigrating is another. If there is any race that should be understanding towards foreigners moving there it should be the Irish. We have gone all over the world usually out of need. I think we have been accepted as well but maybe not at first. The Irish who have never had to leave the country have probably a different and less educated perspective no matter how well read they appear. As for some of them being dubs..........well they're dubs. Everyone outside the Pale is a culchie to them or maybe these days a culchie or Polish.

When I was growing up in Ireland many moons ago I don't believe racism existed. Certainly not in my small town. In fact the only non white to live there was an Indian doctor who worked in the hospital. When I moved to London I don't think I had any concept of racism. Perhaps your future locals haven't either EP. They may find something funny about the 'joke' in the same way they may find an Irish joke funny. I suspect those who liked the joke and even the author may well be horrified that you or anyone might think of them as racist. They might not be used to the PC world we live in here. Of course I could be wrong as it's a long time since I lived there and it may have changed. I hope not.

I'd guess he won't even want to win it now if he thinks about it.

I'm in the semi's thanks to not copying your predictions MM.

I read in the Irish Times online where Gatland now is (Ireland I mean)that he said he had chosen his captain some time ago. That would rule POC out of it but maybe not BOD. Maybe as a Kiwi he feels he owes BOD something given what happened in 2005. Of course given his Welsh connections he may have decided on a Welshman. All will be revealed by the end of the month. PS I do hope Zebo gets selected in the squad.

Why do you think he mentioned it in his post round interview? Do you think he was feeling guilty? Would anyone have picked up on it if he hadn't said anything? I didn't see the interview.

I read up on the rules and if it was a penalty then his scorecard was wrong and he should have been disqualified.How was this justified?

I think celebrating a death is somewhat sick. However I also think that spending so much money on a funeral for a person who divides opinion so much is wrong. I heard it's costing ?10M. Isn't the country in dire straits and couldn't that money be used better elsewhere? As opposed to just spending taxpayers money maybe the government should have tried fundraising for the money and let those people who want to donate to the cost do so.

I'm not likely to be a client but does 'door to door' mean you turn up with your own iron and board?
