This is a thread for hate not debate BB...stay on topic please

mmmm....was this recent?

Yup - Sunday supplements for me tomorrow then a chat with a couple of mates who are more ITK than me and selections next week...you likewise I backed Kato Star and Denman all the way up to the gold Cup last year and then chose KS :(

Can Mandleson be made any slimier?

Of course, not getting an education, sitting around with a guitar for years, then being surrounded by super models and drugs makes 'rock stars' the obvious people to be an authority on anything in the world...... ...also see Sting,Geldof et al

Not heard anything....a bit odd though especially as there's already a lot staked on BF (2 mill plus 48 hours ago!) so it's not just fluctuation

Correct!

which father and son duo can claim professional football, rugby union, rugby league and cricket between them....

Swain

Irish horse, won it twice B)

Well, could you tell him I have looked at the likely team selections, poured over the form, weighed up their respective league table positions, consulted Mark Lawrenson and gazed in my crystal ball and predict the following...... ....Sunderland 8 Spurs 0 Thank you

When does he default?

Can anyone point me in the direction of one Mr Jah Lush esq?....I haven't yet given him my prediction on the Sunderland AFC V Tottenham Hotspurs football match...

Revolting... still I guess it's a step up for the Catholic Church not to be directly involved in the abuse.. unbelievable

1 post 48 'looks'....says a lot..... sorry happily accounted for :)

Visiting the East Midlands several years ago I was constantly called "me duck"....am I entitled to compensation?

Think I am a no now...but will double my efforts for next time

"What's even more frustrating, Peckham's JobCentrePlus gave NO help or advice regarding retraining and new NOTHING about all the schemes and plans and extra help and retraining that the government keeps telling everyone is happening now. Peckham JobCentrePlus is utterly useless. " Nope it's not the jobcentre that's uselees it's the governemnt that is...these schemes don't exist (see also support for mortgages and freed up lending for small businesses), this governemnt is useless, shambolic, and corrupt. They have made a lot of noise about what they are doing and apart from giving away ?10bn on a useless 2.5% cut in VAT they've done SFA...but it all sounds great and dynamic in mr "I feel your pain' Brown's media appearances....or slimey, corrupt ?1m pension pot from the EC, Mandleson's pronouncements...bring on the revolution get rid of these leeches

Tommy - scarily the rest of the world was booming in that decade. I think we are well and truly f*cked...seriously, I'm genuinely worried about my kids future in the UK and completly resigned to the fact that I'll have to work until I die unless I'm happy on ?65 a week...and I'm someone who started a private pension 20 plus years ago....the Public Sector people think they'll escape this but when the UK goes bust they'll pensions will be as useful as a Zimbabwean's civil servant's one. We will be a 2nd world country within a decade or so

"Anyway hopefully not too many people will lose their jobs and consequently their homes and it won?t be a problem. Well any more of a problem than it already is." ...dream on Brendan, dream on

Back to a day when the fan's had wit. My, slightly bias, example....on a banner (sheet on two broom poles) at the 1980 Cup Final "Devonshire Cream, Rice Pudding" For anyone under 40, Alan Devonshire=West Ham genius, Pat Rice=Arsenal donkey... *takes off jumper ready for goalpost

No Gordon is making sure homeowners are helped if they lose their job...so he trumpeted back in the autumn....this is, of course the reality, there's only one person he's trying to keep in his home and that's himself in Number 10... he's a shambolic imbecile on the bridge of a sinking ship.....we need someone with vision and boldness...and I can't see who that is, but it sure isn't him

,,,I guess I could do that now:))

Non-Nein-Nix-Nyet-etc

Nope - not really Our (and thanks to us and the yanks) the global economy has recently been built on spending way beyond our means built on the foundation of an expectation of increased real income and inflating houseprices and other assets- these particular bubble assumptions have now had a big. big reality check.We are even more screwed becuase a larger part of our economy than most others (excepting Icealand maybe) was built on this bull. People, for now, are realising this so any extra money they get as a result of interest rates cuts (and for savers there isn't any) should be used to reduce the stupid level of debt we have acquired......I expect REAL incomes and houseprices to be declining for upto a decade, most of us better forget about our organic delis/skiing trips and other such indulgencies for some time....
