Merkel has called for it as part of an election pledge. Even if she does get another term, other than this she's very much a small 'c' conservative and the main opposition party, a very well organised party currently ahead in the polls is left wing.
  2. How nice to log on to see good news for a change, no matter how small. Well done!

I will be moving to Germany some time later this year.

  8. The worst Labour leader in living memory? I mean for goodness sake, tweeting that the real fight starts now! Ummmm, how about 12 months ago Jezza?!
  9. Defecation? Just a thought.

  11. Why was it restricted? What reason did they give?
  12. The problem with so many of these chains is not the coffee itself but how the baristas treat it. Essentially, without the patience and care it takes to make a decent espresso based drink.

Because now they have to look for ways to justify their vote and it's proving increasingly difficult and frustrating to do so.
  14. I don't remember one if there was.

  16. red devil Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Perhaps 'less significant' would be a better > description... Yes, it would. I think some folk consider Great Britain to be the Britain of Rule Britannia and the Empire; ruling the waves, manufacturing world leader etc. My point was based on that view of empire that many still seem to have. But I guess if you asked them how we would make Britain great again, many wouldn't have an answer.

I think that a good number of us don't have a distorted view of ourselves- we realise that in 2016 we're relatively insignificant.
  18. I cycled across it this morning, but took extra care on my whole route. Doesn't stop black ice being an issue though.
  19. She tore strips off him today. I wish Angus Robertson was Labour leader- if only for PMQs.
  20. I usually do, but thinking about it i don't know why.

A rich sugar daddy throwing hundreds of millions at the first team for a quick fix. We're cutting our cloth accordingly but Joe Lewis could just as easily have thrown massive money at the first team in the same way as Abrahmovic and the Sheikh. We're running the club sensibly - not running at a huge debt. It's been the same for a long time. We're building success (hopefully) slowly and carefully. Instead of throwing money at the first team for a quick and temporary blast of success we invested big money in the academy and training facilities. The Bale money was spent, but at the end of the spend we had a zero net spend. That's the point. As far as I'm aware Bale and Modric aren't earning huge wages in the premier league. Which is what I'm talking about. La Liga is a different beast. Same with the Bundesliga, where one or two teams have spending power and the rest of the league is less competitive.
  22. The point is that the players were bought cheap and developed into players worth tens of millions. Whereas United have been trying to follow the Chelsea/City method of buying success. Which, after last season and to an extent this one already, is proving innefective when compared to building a hungry squad invested in a manager's/club's way of doing things. United showed the way in the 90s with success based on a group of players developed at the club. Paying players ludicrous overinflated wages seems to have the opposite to the desired effect. These players pick up their ?200k+ a week irrespective of how they play. How much do they really care about the club or their teammates?
  23. Someone's trolling.
  24. I think Shaw might be finished as a top class footballer. Honestly. I don't know if it's long term effects from his injury but what (little, admittedly) I've seen of him he has nothing like the athleticism to be a top class full back in 2017. Speaking of young English players- how good did Tom Davies look for Everton?!
