Too busy troughing expensive popodoms and giant madagaskan prawns. I do remember a lot of waiters ushering someone through, but took no notice. Thanks for your interest RD - much obliged.

Trying to have a conversation with your children over brunch whilst there is a tv distraction is difficult, so don't go there any more. Its a big negative. Music is fine on its own.

Indeed.

I'm not a fan of slate either, bit of a fad, but lets move on.

Leon tells his wife to shush a lot. That's quite amusing, its like my house.

Is the UKIP family the old grey haired fat bloke and his peroxide blond missus? I still like Vivien and her hubby - Fooooooookin hell..... Its between middle Siddiqui man and Giles for wittiest person on the show imo - oh and the girl who sits on the right of her mum and dad, she's very funny.

Brendan Rodgers makes the case for playing for Celtic, over earning more money in a premiership relegation battle Rodgers said: ?Moussa is a great catalyst if you are an agent now and I have had a number of conversations where people now see the example of Moussa. ?It really has lit up their eyes to what the possibilities are. Here is a guy ? who was a talent, but was playing in the Championship in England and now he is one of the most coveted strikers ? in Europe. ?And his platform is here in Scotland. He is a great advertisement for what we are trying to do and he is enjoying his time here. There is talent out there. It is the right ones at the right time.? Asked if there were other Moussa Dembeles out there, Rodgers answered: ?There is. That is the notion that I have in terms of looking at building a structure here that allows more of them to come to here. ?But for every Dembele, there are others who aren?t like that. Moussa was coveted by lots of teams in Europe, but chose to come here to develop further and learn the game and, hopefully, play at Champions League level. ?Some players will be happy playing relegation football, but earning more money. You can?t blame them because it?s a short career. But we always have to look to find a way and that?s what we?ll do.?

I was in Chutney Mary on Wednesday night and Lakshmi Mittal was in there with his family. That's a rubber stamp of quality I'd say.

I had always been of the same view Jeremy but it worked for us at the time. The benefit is that as long as you can afford the upfront payment you are parting with 40% of the car price initially. In three years you have the option to pay off the finance (as we did) or return the car and take the amount by which the car value exceeds the outstanding finance. You do own it outright, depending upon the financial product, its like a loan secured on the car, but the car is yours. For us the car is now > 5 years old and we are likely to be keeping it another 4/5 until eldest child moves out and we don't need a seven seater anymore, so it has definitely worked out well. The car is still apparently worth 40% of what we paid for it (we buy any car...?). Had we bought a 3 year old version we would have had a lot of depreciation and likely service costs too At the time we bought the new one, a 3 year old "approved" version was 65% !! of new list one's list price - I wasn't paying that. I'd rather pay less money for a down payment on a new one, with new car maufacturers warranty etc. Also, you get to "build" the car yourself - You choose all the options that you want or don't want. Obviously you then have to wait 3 months for it to arrive.

A lot of people buying new ones will go for the finance deals, which often come with a discount to the list price, but obviously you still pay a bit more overall. Upfront payment, two or three years of monthly payments and a final payment. At the end of the three years the car should be worth a fair bit more than the final payment due and then you either pay the final part and keep the same car, or trade in the car as your upfront payment on a new one and continue with the monthly payments with a new car for another three years. Some people on the other hand might just be lucky enough to be able to fork out ?30/40/50k - good luck to them.

Joey's back Rangers released a short statement via their official website confirming that he will re-join training. "Joey Barton has been told he will return to full-time training following the conclusion of a disciplinary procedure," it read. "The Auchenhowie management team will inform the player of appropriate training arrangements to which he must adhere for as long as he remains a Rangers player. Neither the club nor the player will comment further." Barton was initially exiled by Rangers after an exchange of words with Andy Halliday following the hammering at Celtic Park, with manager Mark Warburton also reportedly involved. The 34-year-old was also charged by the Scottish Football Association last month for allegedly breaching betting rules.

I'd like to add that although we have one of these, our children all make their own way to school...

I have watched some of the first video. And I remember Hoddle anyway - although not seeing him every week like you. Its to some extent personal choice. My question was really whether it would have been the same answer if the vote was say 1980 when Hoddle was still playing, but the double winning team was still alive in the memory. The Tottenham team of 1960 is one of folklore. This list puts Hoddle at No 8 http://www.ranker.com/list/best-tottenham-hotspur-players-of-all-time/ranker-soccer

One argument against that is that he wasn't part of a Tottenham team that won the league, or more so the double. That's a team argument. On an individual level, he failed to convince several England managers of his worth. Additionally, not many current Spurs fans witnessed the great Spurs team, and there hasn't been a lot of quality recently, so is the vote representative?. Is he really better than Greaves, Blanchflower, Mackay, Bale, Linekar? In that order ! Edited to add Gascoigne.

and this one? Audi Q7 3.0TDI Quattro S Line 240 7 SEATER MPV 4X4 ULTIMATE SPEC FSH 22" A1

What we found, 5 years ago as a family of 5, was that if you have three children, and at least tow are of car seat age requirement, an estate will not have enough width for the three to sit comfortably across the back seats in a normal saloon or estate. A seven seater, ignoring the back two seats, has more width, and the three children could sit across the middle three seats with space So we bought one. When I was young I was a child in a family of 5 and we had a mini. It was fine.

Fair enough - well done.
