Perhaps we should introduce the maximum wage concept, but gradually and selectively - starting with the likes of Barclays (who continues to pay its bankers inordinate sums of money)?

Done. I urge all cyclists to complete this...took me 6 minutes. Your answers may help them to understand the reasons for accidents involving cyclists and, ultimately, may lead to reducing them.

The introduction of a living wage has been under discussion in some quarters for a few years now, and as far as I am aware, apart from within various charitable organisations/institutions (e.g. churches), is something that has yet to be taken seriously. Interestingly the BBC recently asked: is it time for a maximum wage? The programme (The Big Questions) explores the idea of introducing a maximum wage as one method of dealing with inequality in our society. It raises some interesting points and can be viewed on BBC iPlayer till 21/3/10. Scroll forward to approx. 23 mins. (lasts approximately 15 minutes).

I don't see why he should be laughing (a little smile maybe;-))...Man. U are more than capable of giving those teams a run for their money (in my most biased opinion).

This clip doesn't exactly show his most famous goals, but I like it because it displays his fabulous footwork...oh, and I just love the way he accelerates past the other players. And also because I thought he looked even dishier in his Northern Ireland colours than he did in red. God, the man was a genius. Magnificent!

You teases...you knew I would not be able to resist... It goes without saying that Georgie was second to none. Talk about having to state the obvious!

The guy's a genius. I fear you are becoming lazy HAL9000. In the past you would have provided us with helpful links for each of those titles.
