Anyway... The Daily Mash is furious....

If he'd not been sent off he'd have to had been substituted straight away. Ref's got to keep control of the game.

Play in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas...so if anyone's got a spare $25,000 I'll give them a cut of my prize money.

Long term devaluation...which we're already a fair bit through. Bad for inflation and given that our exporters over rely on weakly growing established markets such as Europe and The US it has not yet given us anything to smile about in export markets.

I know someone who got thrown out quite a few years back, in a way they deserved it. This was early 1990s LH - "I mean is anyone in this room actually going to vote Tory?" Big, non-pc aquaintance: "I am" LH: "Why the f*ck are you doing that?" Big, non-pc aquaintance: "Because there isn't a BNP candidate in my constituency" To be fair I don't *think* this was the real reason but he was just bored with LH's political ranting

And back in the real world rather than how we wished it was (From BBC website)... "Even at this late hour others weigh in. The head of the 16-nation Eurogroup, Jean-Claude Juncker, says: "Greece must understand that taxpayers in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands are not prepared to correct Greek fiscal policy mistakes". The French Economy Minister, Christine Lagarde, reminded everyone that the euro was built on the premise that "there would be no bail-out, because everyone had to play by the same rules and had to respect the same discipline". At the end of last week the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou sounded like a man who knew he needed to do more. "Will we let the country go bankrupt?" he asked, "or will we react?" So he may this week announce yet more austerity measures, perhaps a further cut in benefits or a hike in sales tax. He must hope he can squeeze his public sector some more whilst keeping the rioters at bay. Some European leaders still hope somehow Greece can convince the markets that it can cut its deficit by 4% this year and avoid any rescue. However, the believers out there are few. Giant hedge funds have placed their bets; the euro will drop further. In their view the euro's inherent weaknesses are not being addressed. Most senior European officials believe some kind of bail-out will be needed. While they watch these latest moves George Papandreou is set to travel to Berlin on Friday to meet Angela Merkel. It is a key meeting. If Greece is to be rescued by Europe the Germans will have to be at the heart of it. The German people are against; it was their big fear when they gave up their beloved Deutschmark that they would end up bailing out the reckless."

You nasty piece of work you ;-)

I think Wegner's point is that there's a prevailing attitude that "The Gunners don't like it up em" that produces too many reckless tackles against Arsenal...I think he has a point if I'm honest

Your savings are also guranteed (unless you've got more than ?50k) their ?5bn was not - they could have lost it all.

And did you have a few ?billion handy when the world was imploding? Steve, I'd be quite happy to lend you a ?5 at the EDF drinks I'm not gonna sign up as a guaranteor on your mortgage.

Happiness is within, so if you're genuinely feeling worried about this then you need to explore it; if you just feel perhaps you should have achieved (whatever that means) more 'externally', I'd forget about it. Most of us don't achieve much but many of us are happy.

Naaaaaaaah

What a shitty series of posts Silverfox.....you must be proud.

Something like that and equity but look at their performance compared to the banks that took the government money = RBS and Lloyds/HBOS. If I was a Lloyds shareholder I'd be spitting Gordon persuading the board to take the toxic mess that was HBOS. Those shorters were right after all.

Ramsay...doesn't look good :'(

You're wrong, they raised money privately through a Middle East Soveraingn wealth fund a decision they had to justify to their shareholders as they do their bonuses

What both MMs said....but we'll be the minority as it's all 'THEIR' fault, apparently

My logic is France WONT lose to Italy If Ireland beat England (Likely) you've still got the worry on england beating France (possible) Or if England beat Ireland (unlikely) you've then got to worry a tad about Scotland

Roll over woof *strokes tum*

Playing with the numbers for a decent return ?50 on France GS 6.0= ?300 hedged =?200 ?100 england france 2.5 = ?250 = ?200 Youd still be getting 4 on France, not bad

er,,,,,finanicially!
