what you mean is you wnat someone who can spend maybe £100 - £200 million a year and not notice it...................

Now lets find a way not to screw it all up ...................... thank god for RAFA

Drug Fiend alert!!!

"BTW how has no one yet convinced Owen Smith to invest in some teeth whitener?" good to see the political debate remains serious...................

She can only call an election if she loses a vote of no confidence - otherwise it's 5 years... she could get her side to vote for a motion of no confidence but it wouldn't take many defections before the oppoistion could claim they have every confidence in the world in her Govt - please carry on........................

"Is there no way that flight d ata can be centrally stored" there is - you could use INMARSAT - but constant streaming from a lot of aircraft means the airlines would have to shell out quite alot of $$$$$ - they don't see it as a priority for a once in10 year event that will probably affect someone else

woodgate was a class player and we got a lot of money for him -pity about his injury record.........

having seen the new Star Wars movie I feel this board needs a Yoda-like figure to spread wisdom amongst the young and to stop their inevitable drift to the Dark Side I elect myself as no-one else has the wit or wisdom to be allowed a vote Just off for a swift half at lunchtime which I think will be bought by Monkey's Fist today

You know, in the autumn of my days as a poor pensioner, I no longer get excited by the abuse served up on here I get up late, wander down to the pub and buy a drink... and before sipping it I thinlk " who paid for this?" And then I think "Alex!- he's been kind enough to sweat away in some call centre paying tax & NI just so I can enjoy myself........" and so I toast the young shaver - long may he last!! And of course there's the warm feeling that there'll be no one around to pay for his pension when he gets to 85......................

yer all jealous - you lived through some of the most depressing years of modern music whereas I was priveliged to listen to the Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Bowie etc etc first time round..... you got stuck with Stock Aitken & Waterman and Now That's What I Call Music 256 .......... I really do sympathise with you.................

"Cancel Christmas!" :thumbup:

"Completely ruled the 70s, and without him the following 4 decades will have sounded very different" You know I don't think so - influential up to a point in the early 70's but after that...... Punk, N Soul, Dance, Disco, Reggae, Grunge etc weren't influenced by him at all In fact he hasn't been around for best part of 25+ years Even in his Aladdin Sane days he was very much a minority interest

he was right on a lot of things but God was he irritatting.....................

Public Service Broadcasting - Race for Space

Idiot from Wales who only gets on the Beeb because he's really cheap..................

"Carson "Tithes are better than tax".." he's right!! tithes are only 10% of your income (some arguement about if this is pre or post tax) But those pesky Muslims only pay 2.5% in Zakat.........

"And yet the morons voted him in." that's the problem with democracy - people keep getting elected that you (or I) think are idiots...............

you're over simplifying Meenzer.................

"BMW and VW make cars in the UK ffs!" they do right now but I'll bet they won't if we quit the EU - same with Nissan

And the Republican candidate Carson complaing because the media have cast doubt on the fact he tried to kill someone when he was a kid............... most other places claims to have attempted murder are a bit of a barrier to public office but not in America

Think you're right Parky - we've no idea who we support, what the place should look like after it all ends and who are the real bad guys We seem to just want to bomb people..............

I see a lot atheltetes have been on drugs I'm shocked, shocked.....................

dear oh dear - a real classic .................
