A knowledge of Ancient Greek poetry certainly comes in handy when trying to run a city.

It's pointless trying to use local elections to determine the possible result of a future general election, in recent history the party in government has rarely done well. Labour took 44% of the vote as opposed to the Tories 33% in the 1990 locals, and then lost the 1992 general. Labour took...

Fat people eat too much and don't exercise enough. It's their own fault.

The same was true when we played Charlton Athletic for the last two seasons in League One, and Leeds in the 07/08 and 08/09 seasons in League One.

It's from the South East Water website, which also shows that Arlington is virtually at capacity: South East Water - Environment - Reservoir levels - Arlington

You have to do a CBT to ride anything above 50cc, regardless of when you passed your car driving test, and have to ride with L plates until you pass a motorcycle test. The CBT exemption for car licenses only applies to mopeds, not motorcycles.

The only reason that this is newsworthy is because viruses and malware so rarely affect OSX.

That's just plain wrong. Share prices are essentially a reflection of supply and demand, if no-one wants to buy shares in a company the price isn't going to increase. For a price to continually increase assumes that there's constant demand for a company's shares, and not so many people wanting...

The OECD have consistently been wrong with their predictions on the UK economy. They predicted Q3 growth for 2011 would be 0.1%, it was 0.5%. They predicted a contraction of 0.03% in Q4 last year, it was 0.3%. They predicted growth for the whole of last year of 1.7% (later revised down to...

Her plight seems genuine, you'd be callous not to send her the money.

Pay and display parking for the public might be cheaper, but this refers to business parking permits.

It's a t-shirt based on the graphic representation of the pulse of a star. So what? Joy Division didn't discover, invent, or have an exclusive license for such a thing, they merely lifted the image from a textbox and used it as an album cover. Who's to say Disney even based this t-shirt on...

Pretty sure that lower league clubs were exempted on the basis that: (a) most lower league clubs rarely have crowds anywhere near capacity (b) the cost of making their grounds all-seater would put a lot of lower league clubs out of business

I'm pretty sure it was Hart that gave away the penalty, Elphick had been sent off by then.

If you'd told me when I was a kid that Nottingham Forest would be relegated from the top flight, I'd have thought you were a bit simple. If you went on to say that they'd spend at least 13 consecutive seasons in the lower divisions of English football, I'd have thought you insane.

Exactly, but saying that it increases your risk by 19% makes a far better story than saying that it increases your risk from 0.012 in 1 to 0.015 in 1.

You only need a year of employment behind you if you're trying to claim for unfair dismissal. For harassment, bullying, discrimination etc. you have rights from day one of employment. It would be ridiculous to suggest that you could legitimately bully someone at work because they'd been...

I lived in the far north of Scotland for two and a half years and 60-70mph winds were so common they barely warranted a mention. It topped 100mph a few times while I was living there.

Doesn't really help their credibility though, does it? Every time I see one of them on television saying "We're protesting against this because, um, we don't like it and it's not very good and, um, we'd like it to be replaced by something, er, better", it just makes me think of David Spart in...

That's the university line on it: "Stewards will also monitor and, indeed, prevent those individuals managing to park on site gaining access to the stadium. Details will then be recorded to identify the authority used and the matter taken further should such details prove to be inappropriate. "
