I think I have just saved ?7.

Ok labour v conservative. Who calls the shots at the end of the day. The new deal was obviously a democratic mantra and very relevant to what Labour are trying to promote today. Gawd help us if they get I'm. Love the theory of economics despite only having studied it at a junior level. And yes Stephanie has made at least two mistakes in her personal life. Both red.

Well, I could listen to Stephanie Flanders all night. Keynes on the other hand. I got mixed messages. Borrow your way out of debt. It seems the greatest evidence of his theory at work is the New Deal, and yet Roosevelt rejected his theories. Very Miliband v Cameron.

My thought is that Roy Brooks is a relatively small player in the central ED market and therefore maybe considering a change of tactics.

Cole said on the day of the match at Loftus Road, he saw Ferdinand make a fist gesture to imply sex and could see him saying something about 'Bridgey' or 'black'. 'I can't make out - him either saying Bridgey (Cole made the fist gesture) or black.' He said he thought QPR centre-half Ferdinand's taunts were 'not necessary' and did not shake his hand after the game. He did not hear Terry say anything in reply to the goading, the court heard. Later in the game, Terry told Cole he thought Ferdinand had accused him of using a racist obscenity. After the match, Cole was present when Terry asked Ferdinand what had happened. 'I think John said "Did you think I called you a black c***, did you think I was being racist?" Then I said "Did you think John was being racist?" Anton said 'No, no'." The two players then shook hands and went their separate ways.

As well you know Hug, Rio's abuse of Cole was in response to action taken by Cole in defending Terry. It was this action that Anton Ferdinand finds difficult to forgive and hence no handshake. Nothing to do with Rio's twittering. It was Rio's twittering that I did not want to get into as it is firstly unsavoury and secondly an area that only those who suffer racism can properly understand imo.

I don't think anyone is going to explain why Ferdinand did not shake hands with Cole.

I missed the Olympics. So I don't feel the depression. In fact I think the temporary Olympic fans are temporary sports fans of the lowest order. If they don't continue to follow the Olympic sports then I think we can call them temporary sports fans

Otta Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------ > Not shaking Terry's hand is totally > understandable, but Ferdinand has hardly coverqed > himself in glory by snubbing Cole. Silly move. Not sure I agree with that Otta (again). It's one thing with Terry being racist but a bigger issue with Cole.

The event itself, could possibly have been created by honest mistakes, not thought through, which ended in disaster. It will live with the people of Liverpool forever. But the cover up is a real crime and people should and will be held responsible. We need to be able to trust our security forces and our Government, this type of thing makes you wonder if we even know the half of it.

She's a worker, and no mistake.

Sarah Beeny is back on C4 btw.

I love girls and I love property. So I love this thread. You can't have too many property threads.

Give the girl a break H. Personally I find it interesting.

Stay away from BlackBerry.

You aren't in texas, are you....

Can you bring back the old ones pls.I'm sure I have seen the old Wembley recreated in the back garden of a posh ED semi.

The lounge is where all the best threads used to end up. Adios.

It sounds like you have fallen into bad company ;) . I used to go to all the Irish bars. I married an English girl and now Irish pubs seem to be off the agenda. But hey, we both have a Rory. :)

She sent me a PM once. :)

Good point Quids. He got too much bad press for saying openly that he supported any team against England. If he thought it was going to surprise anyone he would not have said it. He probably thought it was a given.

I started an innocent thread once, suggesting we should have good secondary schools in ED, for middle income parents. I got about 10 pages of abuse.

He was probably just drunk and could not understand why anyone who was not irish would even want to consider being in there. I have to say, I agree with him.

That was me El Pibe. Sorry about that.
