Just donated. I suspect many 'selfish' singletons and non-mums will donate too op ;-)

Ignoring the blatant bump..... ...watched extra time and penalties...the women goal keepers aren't that good, level with Green i'd say. Penalties again England

Yeah it's on the Highway to Hell

Murdoch has many faults, but his bravery in taking on the absolute madness that was early 1980s print unions/Chapels is to his credit. Fleet Street in 1984 was almost unworkable and shortsighted luddism of the worst kind. Not allowing computesr FFS. I started work for a media group (United) then...it was unbelievable. The print unions ran everything and were among the highest paid people in the country, with a cosy closed shop of fathers to sons jobs, the print was closed for almost anything and there were multi-chapels at each newspaper, all who could strike for anything and bring everyone else out too, workers completley unsackable whatever they did, which was mainly blatant moonlighting.

lol at the hypocracy of calling the people attacking NOTW a lynch mob....there's a paper that's never encouraged lynch mobs. 2/10 Silverfox. The whole ugly thing is undefendable....and I like contrary positions. Where I think there's a lot of hypocracy is that the public didn't give a shite when it was celebrities......which, legally and in all honesty morally was wrong, as, to be fair to him, that old poster SeanMac pointed out on several occasions and was right to do so.

Would you like an explanation of the word 'memories' Tony? It's a simple concept once you get your head round it

...this sums up the situation nicely

"arise from infront of your TV sets you sweaty proles" massive graffitti on the way in to Paddington by Royal Oak......for many now covered in tags/graffitti 'art' ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ George Davis is innocent everywhere too

I read in the Independent (admittedly) last night that "Neil Kinnock's campaign in 1987 was deystroyed by the Murdoch press"....mmmmmmmm......nothing to do with the fact he was a windbag whose intellect was exposed under pressure (that wouldn't matter now sadly) combined with a strong economy (in much of the country) and a clear conservtive manifesto - I voted Labout that year btw. I know it was the Sun Starfer.....The use of "the sun wot won it" in my text was using the well known Sun Headline as a generic term for the belief that Murdoch's press decides on our govt. I regularly hear refeences from the left to the 'Murdoch press deciding our elections' or similar sentiment (undercurrent The plebs are just media manipulated saps). Come on, tell me that's not true? I've seen it on here a fair few times. It's not ideology it's just pointing out that for many left wing intllectuals when democracy doesn't go their way the electorate are just stooopid plebs manipulated by the media, nicer put of course.

you can't bump yer own 100s, well known rule, my game my rules , allow bumping on yer crappy 73 game if you want

I still don't understand Moos - are you on the sauce already?

Personally the best thing about this as that our media spun politicians won't go round in fear of Murdoch so much...they nevertshould have been that scared in the first place. In reality, the patronising intelligensia view that it 'woz the Sun wot won it' as if the Murdoch empire manipulated the poor britsih public election after election has been much overstated IMO...apparently only Guardian readers have the intelligence to make political decisions not based on their Newspaper readership (ha ha ha) In fact, the Murdoch papers were actually quite good at jumping on who ever looked like they were gonna win and then claiming they won it for them (not very convincingly last time by the way)and media spun, media consulted. media driven politicains fell for this. Hence Brown and Blair jumping on a plane at short notice to meet The Digger in Singapore in '97 and Cameron taking on the Coulson against advice.....but probably not his ginger neighbours in Oxforshire, For News International Live by the Sword etc. - I can't see anything but declining influence. Cameron looks a weak arse out of this and, unfortunately, increasingly like his hero Blair. The politicians will take this as an opportunity to give the press per se a kicking in revenge for the expenses stuff no doubt Edited 'cos even I can't allow meat instead of meet

It's not just the paper there'll be job losses at all those Special Edition Battle of Britain Commerative Spitfire matlepiece ornament manufacturers too

There' no way he was Mike unless he's been back to school..... his grammar was ok

There is a mutual interest it's called the EU - the Common currency is threatening to pull that apart, go and ask them in Greece and Ireland what they think of Europe at the moment

Hey, Congrats Ratty!
