...and the most obvious way to do that is to scrap all Public Sector pensions, maybe creating some way of switching equivalent contributions to date into a pension fund for the individual to buy an annuity when they reach retirement rather than any final/average salary computation and THEN making the state pension more realistic for all (maybe trebling it) with the open ended, evergrowing, liability of Public Sector pension fundiung removed. Good luck with putting that fundamentally equal idea to the 'socialists'in the Public Sector.

yup - you too. Why not Reading?

Back in the day, I used to quite admire the Cockney Reds (old skool) because 1) We ALL (spuds/Gooners/Chelsea etc) hated them 2) The Mancs hated them as much too They had to be able to look after themselves believe me Obvuiously the modern middle class versions make me puke :)) Surrey Reds

I think the police don't like cameras as they too often show them pushing over innocent passers by or peppar staying students in the face

Nanny state crap. "We (the ususal suspects) know best" etc No wonder people are less and less able to take responsibility for themselves.. *feels Clarkson like rant boiling up*

they'll be plenty of Cockney Blues shortly BR, no doubt

I stick up photos of my kids on Facebook, I know quite a few people who are scared of doing this or certainly say they'd 'never' do this (which is bizzarre to me)....but I've also stuck up photos of their parties including their friends, and I feel I'm on less clear cut grounds there...oooh it's a minefield

...an on the same grounds, a PM who doesn't even know the dates of the 2nd World War - despite a very expensive education - should be handed his P45 surely? Can you not do better than this Silver?

Anyway, draw for Euros today, Ireland anyone? :))

...well that may be true but it's interesting how many just 'happen' to end up supporting... Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man U.... ....for no family/residency/place of birth reasons what so ever

...and their Excise Duty :)-D

Interesting the last episode - the environemntal one - has been dropped from the US edition...

Absolutely Jah - taht's why we got relegated, all part of a cunning plan to win the Championship.

?10 a beer though, give me gross inequality and crumbling social services anyday

oh gawd it's the first "First Christmas Card" thread of this Christmas and it's only December 2nd

:))

I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming, 'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'"

Can people be banned for being mad? just wondered like

1) Lose your virginity 2) Don't smoke so much pot 3) Don't put apostrophes on your plurals

Bots and foooking trolls, brilliant

Madmen....yes it's shot beautifully and its period attention to detail is second to none BUT

Good work admin

I hope your crutch remains dry and generally unpissed upon

I presume you mean the census rather than 'cosensus', and I'm pretty sure that the 'census' does not include 'European' as an option on ethnic background, rather you are thinking any 'non-white' is not european, because that's your pathetic prejudice (hint this is IN YOUR HEAD NOT ON THE FORM IGNORAMUS)...or your just trollimg It's just boring arguing with idiots like you anyway Seriously
