Roy Keane's on parole?

We had about 100 people to our wedding, with no kids* (except my niece and nephew who are teenagers and very close to our family) My back of the envelope calculation is that if our friends and family had bought kids we'd have had another 40 or so people, no way could we have afforded that so we'd have to have not invited about a third of our friends but - to be honest the no kids thing absolutely makes sense to me - i don't really know half my friends kids that well anyway. I love getting rid of mine when there's a wedding, they find 'em boring anyway. All our friends with kids and babies came anyway. I think new borns are a different matter, but kids and toddlers? not for my wedding. However, If people have a no kids wedding they then do have to accept some people won't/can't come without getting upset I agree. But at the end of the day it's up to the wedding couple so, in the spirit of non-crticisng parental skills, who is anyone to criticise who they want at their wedding?? * our eldest daughter was 18 months she came for the ceremony and then went off with her childminder to let us party...

anyway, what's wrong with a kind of compulsory* beasting? *meaning in a mutual "I suppose we should" rather than any forcing sense

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21453393 - US manufacturing renassance on cheap fuel is alraedy happening and their competitivenss will incraese as some competitors look to more expensive renewables - further massive destibilastion in OPEC as social contract breaks down as autocratic paternalism ceases to work as business model based on high oil prices collapse I keep telling ya

Anyway, interesting op, not the European bit :)

Alienated, stood alone, belligerent Cameron (and his many allies, not least in reform terms the Germans) just won a 3 percent reduction in the EU budget. your analysis is stuck back in 1973. the Germans are absolutely petrified of the UK leaving the EU and them alone of the big economies to fight for free trade and reform.

I'll offer my annual 3 word advice..... Flowers-meal-beasting

Ok. That's enough Father Ted jokes

stuffed with Ineffective Politicians and old school others. no Adele say?

Yup.

Weather not helpful to be fair

Never in doubt :)

whilst we are on cheap clothes shops - Dicky Dirts anyone?

Brilliant early 80s soulboy look or the 'hard times' look of 84-86, half the clothes on show at the Wag/Mud Club were from there I reckon

*Bob* will be up for it

I can't help thinking about the Spittang image sketch with Oliver Read and him. "We quaffed, we quaffed, we quaffed again"

Southern Soul scene > than northern soul scene We, a load of southern Soulboys went up to the Casino in a coach once, it was past its best but was very different to our soulboy experience musically, and dress wise but still a friendly vibe. Last time I went to Caister 1982 there were a reasonable number of northerners who had turned to the funk....the problem with the obscurity thang and northern soul was the obscurity became more important that the music.Plus retrospection is ultimately very backward looking. Danny Rampling, Pete Tong (used to dj at Caister in the small rooms) Terry Farley, Paul Oakenfield, Judge Jules etc etc all southern soulboys originally and oout of that late 70s early 80s underground scene...now, where my Jellies and white socks.

I wish they'd given us more on Mike. We know he's an ex-cop and 'something' went wrong and the incident with the wife beater/murderer got to him but that's it...he sort of feels like a good man who just got broken. Not sure with Walt, some fairly vicious moments early...the bit when he sees the missing bit from the broken plate seems to trigger him off into a spiral of evil. Ok there are slight touches of remorse but. The teddy bear had half it's face missing i.e. the Chicken Man! Tyler Kills Walt/Jessie does/Walt Kills Hank...dunno

Tottenham 2 Newcastle 1 Chelsea 2 Wigan 0 Norwich 1 Fulham 1 Stoke 1 Reading 1 Sunderland 1 Arsenal 0 Swansea 1 QPR 1 Southampton 1 Man City 2 Aston Villa 1 West Ham 1 Man U 1 Everton 0 Liverpool 2 West Brom 0

Why does such an amoral character as Mike invoke much empathy? "Walt was always evil, his cancer has just given him the courage to act on it"? Discuss Has anyone seen the link with teddy bear in the pool and later incidents (not the crash obviously) WTF is going to happen in the end? Anymore?

I like Hanks wife and the Scrapyard bloke....i like 'em all. Can we set up a WITH SPOILERS thread as well as this one as I am geeky enough on BB to discuss some other stuff but don't want to spoil it!

Water Squirting bow tie hunt

I popped out to the Pyjama shop fully clothed the other week!
