Well it's just a label isn't it... and many, but not all of those, with supposed "Progressive" views are the most conservative (with a small c) thinkers about

How's Hewitt doing Mick??? ;-)

Mmm. bottom 3 staying as they are anyone? Not that we're clear at all but I feel we've a bit of momentum and some winnable games approaching. Also, Rafa - how loyal to him are all our Liverpool fans feeling now..or will they be when he up sticks to the old Lady

You may not like him Keef but Murray was hammering Rafa when he pulled out as Rafa, more generoulsy than you, acknowledged

I always do

Roxy Music For Your Pleasure = peak

The Smiths - all excellent albums

maybe...but they didn't improve again either IMO.

*swims past...looks at worm.....swims on*

I'm joyfully miserable, smiling and everything:))

Plus The Jam - This is the Modern World is a pretty crap album

...and through. Was winning easily anyway.

Recovery - I think Give 'em Enough Rope by The Clash was a poor 2nd album, too heavy rock not enough punk for me.

Pompey tonight Ratty.....I'm a bit worried.

fragile recovery

There's just a couple of their covers I seem to remember I like so was going to have a look...

Sean gets the beer...ta

...that french sounding band with a french sounding singer (female) who did 'loungey' covers of largely 1980s hits (Specials/Undertones are annoyingly the only ones I can actually remember now)....quickly now.

Happy days

COME ON TIM

It's not realy over - it's a false dawn. The Various global scrappage schemes boosted economic growth weakly US housing activity is now sliding again German Consumer confidence down ?250 billion of 'money printed' for 0.1% growth...we can't do that again it's one off and just delayed the pain IMO Major reductions in Public Sector spending due anytime soon Changing nature of employment means that although unemplyment per se has defied the critics actually many households are far down in income terms as there's been a massive reduction in full time at full rate work Inflation edging up and that'll put interest rates up soon - as will the markets unless we convince them we are going to do something about our levels of govt debt. That has potentially huge damaging effect on the economy. Tax raises (NI) due next year. Weak pound is increasing the inflation rate and hugely damaging for us with an over reliance on foreign energy and raw materials. The weak pound is as yet failing to benefit our manufacturing as most of our key trading partners are in very similar situations and we have far less a share of emerging markets trade than our key competitors Fundamentally, and kind of linked to what Brendan said, much of the growth of the last 10 years has largely been false, based on debt and overgearing (individually and corporately) or 'selling' things taht were largely worthless. This pain has to work itself out and we've only just begun. :)-D

yeah...but so are France

tee hee...busted
