  1. I suspect not. Tiger suffers from the type of stress in the Ryder Cup that does not normally bother him. Also, he's lost his infalibility and the more pressure applied to him the better. I'd love to see them paired against each other though.
  2. The old 4 - 5 - 1 home formation works for Gers again. ::o

  4. Are we talking 1500 PMs here? That is a lot of secret talk.i only have 2, from woof.
  5. EC just used the word "agree". I'm confused.
  6. Grrrrrr

  9. Here it is folks. Don't all post at once...... It's got to be Europe. (?)
  10. but he was not asking you anna.
  11. He supports Arsenal. Can't allow too many of them on the forum. Gets very boring.

  14. He seems much too polite to be Atila.

  17. Different ages of children - but this is developing into another Schonrock debate. Over protective parents stunt their children's development. Expect the Daily Mail at your door any day now Declan.
  18. Apparently rescue is still 6 weeks away. Amazing for them and their familes when they eventually get out. Must be soul destroying.
  19. Yes - in a previous house we had a mouse problem, which then developed into a fly problem - so its possible its a dead mouse from some time ago that was not discovered and removed at the time.

I meant that they already leave Uni with a big bill just for how much its costs to be there while not earning any money - and now they have to pay a graduate tax too - what chance repaying their normal "student debt" when they are also paying extra tax for tuition fees. Or is that not how it works? It won't come as a surprise that I think Uni should be for a small percentage of the population. If you get in you get in and if you don't you don't. All this talk of pay for your own education makes it very unattractive (for the children and the parents).
  21. "One last thought on Ed Miliband. Expect to be told over and over again in the weeks and months ahead that he was the trade unions? choice, that he owes his job to the brothers, that he?s in the pocket of organised labour. Conservative high command will ? subtly ? take great pains to depict him as Red Ed, the militants? friend. None of this will come as a surprise to Mr M or his aides: it?s basic politics. The interest is in how he deals with it. Will he take pride in his union backers (?I am not ashamed of the support of hard-working trade unionists, Mr Speaker?). Will he confront them, Blair style? Will he seek to fund Labour with money from non-union sources? How will he react to significant strike action?2 PS: It?s started. ToryPressHQ has just tweeted this: ?Without the union votes David Miliband would have beaten #RedEd by 53.4% to 46.6%? Telegraph.co.uk

  23. Ed Miliband has been steadily emerging from his older brother's shadow since entering the Commons in 2005, four years after David, writes Glen Owen. And yesterday he finally overcame the five-year age gap - and his sibling's assumption of seniority. Born on Christmas Eve 1969, Ed is the son of the celebrated Marxist Ralph Miliband and Marion Kozak, both Polish Jewish immigrants who fled to Britain from Brussels during the Second World War, setting up home in North London's fashionable Primrose Hill. Ed followed David to Haverstock Comprehensive School in Chalk Farm, before doing the same subject, philosophy, politics and economics, at the same Oxford college, Corpus Christi. There he established a more sociable reputation than his studious sibling, reviewing films and plays on a local radio station and appearing more at ease in the company of women. After finishing his master's degree at the London School of Economics, Ed was briefly a TV journalist before following his brother into politics. Critically, he made an early decision about where to sit in the Blair/Brown divide and by 1994, while David was advising Tony Blair, Ed was a researcher to disgruntled Shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown. In his recent memoirs, Blair admitted that he had made energetic efforts to pluck Ed from Brown's clutches, but he would not be swayed. After Labour's 1997 Election victory, Ed was made one of the Chancellor's special advisers - earning him the title of 'one of the country's most powerful unelected officials'. As one of the few senior Labour figures liked by both warring wings of the party he was welcomed into No 10 as Brown's emissary, and dubbed 'the ambassador from Planet F***', as the only one of the Brown team who did not swear at Blairites. By 2004 he had become chairman of the Treasury's Council of Economic Advisers and, at Brown's insistence, helped to organise Labour's 2005 Election campaign. He entered the Commons as MP for Doncaster North that year. He played a key role in brokering Blair's agreement to stand down in favour of Brown, and when his boss entered No 10 in 2007 Ed won a place in the Cabinet, aged 37; firstly as Cabinet Office Minister and then as Energy Secretary. With his Foreign Secretary brother, they were the first siblings to sit in Cabinet together since 1938. Friends say Ed has more of a life outside politics than his brother. While David is largely unloved among Labour MPs - he has a reputation for aloofness - Ed is seen as warm and conciliatory, with 'brains, charm and acumen'.
