It will start with a bang.

Agreed - and your point on Mowbray is right too, but I suspect Celtics passing game can work better in Scotland than WBA in England given Celtic have the most money in the league they should have better quality players to put the passing game in place. But you need to combine it with some finished product and they need to be in the market for a quality striker. Rangers have always been expert at taking chances and maximising their opportunities, thats what celtic need to do on Sunday. They do not do this under Mowbray, so far.

"Just shows you how poor the SPL is." Whoops - that was Atila's point not Matt's - sorry Matt.

The Celts will triumph....get your money on, Matt. Now is the chance to top up your retiremnet fund.

And how strong is the welsh league matthew?

Have a good day Michael and Simon. You might find the pubs are busy.

I knew this thread would take a bit of time to shift.

Im upgrading their rating from Arsenal nah to Arsenal maybe.

agreed. Hopefully a solution can be found. On a brighter note there was a great goal from ramsey for arsenal tonight.

I suspect this is another wind up.

I remember doing a number of unsuccessful interviews about 10 years ago. Even failing to get one that was supposed to be a formality. The next interview I went to, I was determined to get. But the line of questioning did not give me much opportunity to talk about my areas of strength and the interviwer thanked me for my time after about 30 mins. Sometime you just know that you have not done enough and I thought I needed to do more. I said - "I don't think this interview has given me the opportunity to talk about my areas of strength and I hope you don't mind if I take a couple of minutes to talk about some areas that you may be interested in" - from there the interview went well and I got the job, which I am still in 10 years on. I'm pretty sure if I had not restarted the interview I would not have been successful. My existing job was not going particularly well and the role I got in the new job does not come up often so I often wonder what my life would be like now if I had not made the effort to make the most of that interview opportunity. I think of it as a few minutes that changed my life for the better.

Excellent news....3 points to Arsenal?

"One key factor behind modern Britain's reluctance to uphold the law is the belief that criminals are really victims of society, motivated only by social disadvantage or mental health problems and that they need support not punishment." I do think there is a move towards considering criminals' mindsets as solveable, which I don't necessarily agree with. For example people who commit crimes against children are seen as being "ill" and after counselling and convincing psychologists of being cured of their illness are released back into society, where we are the guinea pigs who are put at risk while this experiment takes place. I think McKinstry is an attention seeker and extreme opinions work for him and his career. But there is truth in what he says and I feel we look for the "reason" that people have committed crimes to the extent that we no longer accept that the individual is to blame. We seek to find a reason to excuse their actions and no longer accept that they are simply criminally minded or deviant to the extent that they have no care for the consequences of their actions and we need to accept that in most cases they do not act in a way that we can "cure" or even fully understand or rationalise. As for this case in particular, I don't really know much about this guy, I admit that and I have not seen any youtube clips as I have no real interest in understanding his condition now as he has already been executed, but as I have said on other threads I'm not in favour of the death penalty but you have to accept the justice that is in place in the jurisdiction in which you committed the crime. We can make moves towards pressurising China to amend their justice system to our liking but again, who are we to say that our way is best. They do, at least, have a mental illness review procedure in place but saw no evidence of it being needed in this case.

Something tells me you don't do spreadsheets for a living rosie.

I agree with this comment. Also, there always seems to be some excuse made for people who break the law abroad, and this case is no different.

Confronted with his father, furious to find his son dancing rather than boxing, Billy Elliott paused in the face of his father's stare, thought on his feet and danced for his life.....showing his father his ability. Can you recall a life changing moment when you remember that if you had not thought quickly, things may have turned out very differently?

Still think TLS should be back too tho.... As for the tenner, its forgotten, Quids has said we should meet for a beer, lets drink to it then, as he is also celebrating. But good to have you back....I'm sure Admin is dead chuffed......

Indian and vegetarian. Give me strength. Tandoori Nights next door does bombay potato and aloo gobi.

You are too clever for me. But you still owe me a tenner (or a pint).

It will all become clear later in the movie I guess. See what way he swings. She just gave him a little wink..... What does a wink from a girl mean? never been sure how to take it myself.

After 10 G's you just need your own private bathrooom.

Definitely something going on there with that Julie Walters feeling Jamie Bell's inside thigh....disgusting behaviour from a respected older woman.

You don't need help after 10 guinness.....

They are now advertising a "stool softener" on TV. Advertised by a group of women, obviously men do not suffer from this. Or if they do, a few swift pints of Guinness usually does the trick. http://www.dulcoease.co.uk/images/dulcoease-teaser_about.jpg
