sandperson - I'm not trying to pick on you at all it was just the comment about things being in "their heads" struck me as a bit unreasonable

I'm not saying it can't be. That's why I said "coincidence it may be" in my last post Once is bad luck. Twice is beyond bad luck. Three times and it still might be very bad luck but I think some sympathy beyond saying "bad luck old chap" is in order And my second point stands - if it's an English senior player hobbled in this way, just once, no-one will be talking about badluck. The player commiting that foul will be run out of the country if he happens to be foreign

I couldn't help but notice this when scrolling through the last two pages. Coincidence it may be, but 3 broken legs in the last 5-6 seasons, is not in anyone's head and isn't in any way par for the course. If I was on the end of that kind of coincidence I would be suspicious too Now, if one of these broken legs was Rooney or Gerrard, and if it happens this weekend, whoever the person who "mistimes" the tackle will not be the recipient of so many well-wishes from English pundits

Another factor is distorted through what? The laptops own speakers? Many (but not all) new CDs are heavilly compressed to appear "louder" and if your volume is set high on the laptop those cds are going to sound heavily distorted coming through a laptop speaker. Even if using big speakers you should try turning down the master volume on your laptop

easy quids - I wasn't having a pop at Rhinestone at all. Or at hedging for that matter I was merely suggesting that anyone (in this case vince) asking a professional for an opinion, will only get that. An opinion. easy enough to find an opposite one but either way, the truth is no-one knows. But I do think that subscribing to too many negative opinions will tend to make that negative outcome more likely. I'm not sticking my fingers in my ear and going "la la la" but there is some merit in thinking/acting positively in these grim times as well

no offence to Rhinestone, but as a professional the honest answer is "no one can know for sure, it's all speculation and we haven't covered ourselves in glory with THAT in the last couple of years", surely?

sanity girl, I'm seeing the numbers just fine have you installed any software (such as skype) which can do thinks with telephone numbers - that might be what's hiding them?

although it did have George Lamb. It wasn't perfect by any means But it was(is) still head and shoulders above any other music station. If I could listen to the likes of Guy Garvey, Tom Robinson, Mark Radcliffe somewhere else I would so so - but I can't so the once thing the BBC does well (and cheaply) is now gone

go on.. finish the sentence. "as I already reported both crimes to the police..."

You have both seen the thread about car crime in the area just a few centimetres from this one right? Someone is trying to correlate the data so piecemeal reports to police carry more weight

I imagine it is a serious question but the fact of your relocation slipped MrBen's mind, Huge

It's entirely possible to see all 3 incidents as unrelated and a coincidence AND yet still understand why Wenger feels the way he does. Not many people in his position could easily brush off three very similar and serious injuries. If what he is saying is wrong doesn't make it drivel... it just means he is seriously upset and feeling unfortunate.

absolutely Although I think the talent has known for a while and is already off (Jon Richardson a particular case in point for me) It's been coming this decision but still hacks me off - for the price of Moyle's lunch, a whole station playing the stuff that people normally had to wait until 8pm for bah humbug

but there IS a (very good) hotel already dangnabit!! before we dismiss an area

you know how good you will feel if you contact them and do the right thing - dooo eeet It really doesn't matter they are clueless in this world - you aren't.

Domitianus - never knowingly under-souled

nobody anywhere has shown me anything to suggest the economy is Labour's fault. You can point out what they should have dones, but no other British party would have done them at the time

There is already a very good hotel in Camberwell tho isn't there? on church st funnily enough

Isnt that an issue for the how can jb help thread tho karter, rather than this one about him not responding

Quids - I have read the thread and specifically gigirl's questions around costings for providing extra meals as well as Oliver's answer I don't recall calling anyone Tory, although I did use the "I'm alright Jack phrase" - other than that I don't think I have posted anything particularly strong. I can't find the "fact" which states how many people do or don't need meals - I read some speculation but no more than that Leaving aside electioneering and vote grabbing, and prospective cuts - how is it controversial to want a school to provide meals for all it's pupils? If I become a parent and I can provide meals for my children I would still prefer a system where all children at the same school were fed from the same place (as long as it was decent) - will that cost me more? Possibly but not by that much I would have thought As for other people onhere claiming d?j? vu with labour - There are good reasons to not vote Labour (and I intend to use them) but if the country is broke and cuts are coming I can't see what any other government would have done to prevent the current problems - which aren't isolated to this country by a long chalk

is it ED specific? I'm pretty sure there are plenty of poor parents in ED in any case Is it an attempt to buy votes? Possibly, but I don't see what harm can come of it and I can see plenty of good. So parents who can afford it will get some freebies - big deal - it's often costlier to sort the needy out than to just stump up anyway. Where is the sticking point? As for cuts being on the way - I wouldn't be cutting just yet and anyway, school meals were free when I grew up in a country that was financially LEAGUES worse than the UK is now

You can see that there is an argument that if poor children are helped at an early age, money might be saved later on (be it health or criminal related)? I knew plenty of people who benefitted from school meals growing up and I think it's a bit crass for "taxpayers" to be quite so "I'm alright Jack" about things

Can you explain why it's such a waste of money? I'm curious

This one Piers? I remember seeing it too, and saw a few of Yuzna's films at the time Society

I would assume anyone who read Admin's post above and re-engaged in juvenile banter had issues - let it go. No need to quote something from before Admin's warning
