If France win I'll be happy. They are playing cavalier rugby backed by a coach who didn't play a recognised goal kicker against England because "..rugby isnt about winning penalties, it's about scoring tries.." How is that for a refreshing attitude. Can you imagine England having such spirit? The Eng/France game was such an enthralling game because the French kept running the ball often from their own 22. Vive le France! BTW I'm English and want England to win.

The solution lies not in tackling the dropping of litter - it lies in how we go about picking it up. Given that there will always be litter simply because a gust of wind might blow litter out of a bin, a fox might rip open a black bin liner and, of course some people will never consider the dropping of trash on the public highway to be wrong, my suggestion is that next time you walk down the road and see a piece of litter, as a good member of the community, pick it up and put it in a bin.

Mrs Citizen is up for it so count her in.:))

Doesn't Bridget Jones refer to them as singletons?

Keep up with the predictive text Keef, if adds a whole new dimension to your posts.

seconded!

I knew it - didn't catch it. If I was a betting man...

Just wish the screenwriters had remained on strike til after the Oscars so we didn't have to endure such guff and puffery

Much sympathy goes to Eduardo, though from what I've heard he's not blaming Taylor, simply saying that in football, these things happen. Even as an Arseanl fan I think Tayor was unlucky. It was mis-timed rather than vindictive and he must feel pretty rotten. Still he did go in studs up so probably cannot complain that he was sent off. I actually blame coaches rather than players for most of the nasty "kick-them-off-the-park" mentality that does creep in to the beautiful game from time to time. Rather than pitch their skill against a superior team, they'll issue the instruction to go in hard and knobble the bastards. Sad.

Big up, Annaj - policewoman of the forum.

Hats off to the Spurs - so glad they beat Chelski. After miserable Saturday afternoon it made my weekend, oh, that and the England result against France.

Jah, that Duffy track is stunning - got a real classic feeling to it. Here's another Duffy - Steven Tin-tin from 1985 Kiss me

Top-notch quality Lozzy. I'm talking about the photo, of course.

I get Really Very Cross when a shop selling nice stuff opens on my local high street in the place of what was a vacant lot. Grrrrr.

..possibly, or there might be some gambolling. Are you coming, or should we run a book on it?
