Utterly perplexed by the workings of Mrs. F's mind. She was given a small, hand turned bowl , much like the one pictured, a few years ago. It has sat in a cupboard, unused, out of sight, neglected, ever since. I started using it a couple of months ago to keep bulbs of garlic in, to stop the bits of flaky skin going all over the bench. It's been sat, in full view, on the kitchen bench next to things she uses every day. This evening I went to make our meal, and it's gone. I ask where it is, and it's back in the cupboard. " The garlic will make it smell!", says she. I tried explaining that garlic, uncut, uncooked, and in a bulb, has little to no smell, certainly not enough to taint a bowl, but no, suddenly after 2-3 months, I am at risk of rendering the bowl " unusable". So she's put it back in the cupboard, where it sits , UNUSED!!!!! 15 years of living together , and she is still utterly unfathomable.

Yeah Steve chairs them but its frankly open forum, all fans can have their say and nobody is derided for it. Open discussion and an attempt to gain a concewrted view. I'll be hopefully going with a general view of toontastic, I cant capture every view but give an overall "almost everybody (well all but Toonpack) think the renaming is shit". etc Focus after recent events has to be about holding them to account. If our society will allow certain parts of our heritage and culture to be sacrificed for commercial (and therefore usually community) gain, then the public has a right to know the exact nature of the benefits they will receive. If a building stands in the way of a motorway or a new high speed rail link and this holds cultural value, there would be a full disclosure of the economic benefits that would justify removing it. This must be common in any public projects undertaken and am sure it would be even when private interests are involved. Obviously if the building is listed, the trade-off between heritage value and commercial value is considered too high and no planning permission will be granted. There is still an implicit valuation and this is what should guide holding Ashley and Llambias to account. If the decision to remove the heritage associated with the name St James' Park can not be reversed then political pressure should be applied to SD and Ashley to disclose the commercial benefits. This is nothing for now but when it materialises (as we all expect) that no sponsor has come in, then the question they need to be asked is what exactly will SD be giving to the local community to compensate for this? Now we already know that Llambias has said that if no one comes in, they will leave the brand name there to keep it 'advertised to prospective buyers'. However, whether they can and will answer the question is moot for me, what matters far more than people realise is the application of pressure and questions. SD is a British company doing its main business on these shores and therefore relies on the existence of a favourable relationship with the UK government. All companies of its size have whats called and 'external affairs' department which deal with any issues in the regulatory or legal environment relating to its business. I think Ed Balls said something about this, there has been some noise on a Labour party blog ( http://labourlist.org/2011/11/the-sports-direct-arena-is-a-symptom-of-a-sick-game/ ) and this is an issue for the Department of Culture. The Minister for Culture with Heritage in his portfolio is John Penrose MP (Weston Super Mare) http://www.culture.gov.uk/about_us/our_ministers/7051.aspx My view would be engage the politicians to put pressure on SD to engage in activity that preserves the heritage (e.g. giving a grant to fund the History department at the university to provide a history of the stadium, that may already exist but you get my drift). Pressure should be applied to disclose next season if no one comes in what money is being directed to the club for the naming rights, even if this is just pressure on them to publicly announce what we all know. I used this form to write to them on friday http://www.culture.gov.uk/contact_us/default.aspx I wouldn't dismiss the political process too quickly, no company wants letters off Ministers demanding answers to questions when they do all or most of their business in that country. What i'm saying might not produce any immediate tangible results but it will certainly not make anyone involved at the club smirk. Its an avenue i would encourage at the meeting if i was there. Superb This sounds the kind of thing that will make the Fatman sweat a bit, not singing songs against him at the match ( although he needs to hear them too ). God help your neighbours if they put a dodgy shed up

Redknapp charged with cheating the public revenue

What's the betting , within a month Lee Ryder will print that. As it happens, I'm quite prepared to stick with the Back Stabbing, Players Wife Shagging, Gambling-Debt Riddled Cunt. Who else would take it up the stinker like he does? -
Spent a few winters boarding in the Swiss Alps. There are few things better than cresting a ridge to access an untouched backwoods bowl after a fresh dump of powder.
