2-1 to Arsenal. Hopefully to be followed by a couple of home wins during the rest of December.

I got phoned by The Times last week, asking me for insights into an elderly Tory politician who was a senior Minister in the Thatcher Governments (and a staunch Thatcherite) - the journo cheerfully admitted that they were preparing his obituary in readiness for when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

4-0 - but I'm hoping that after this game, we can win 2 or 3 of our December games, and start 2020 mid-table.

Genuine question; what is it that you love about it? The only thing I hate about flying is the turbulence; I'm (irrationally) terrified that the wings or engine(s) will snap off if the plane jolts too much!

I love his bass-playing on the live version of Lord of Light, on Space Ritual - which remains probably my fave live album.

Jean-Jacques Burnel (The Stranglers - still going strong) Pete Hook ((Joy Division/New Order) Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) Geddy Lee (Rush) Jah Wobble (ex-PIL, now with his own band) Lemmy (Hawkwind, Motorhead) Martin 'Youth' Glover (Killing Joke - also still going strong)

An enactment of Mark McGhee chucking Leon Knight off the team bus en route to Southampton many years ago? :)

The school or Head-Teacher can't win though, can they: a) Ban rough games to protect kids from injury, and get attacked for PC snow-flakery and producing a generation of wimpy kids who won't be able to cope with the real world. b) Don't ban rough games, and then get sued or beaten-up by an...

Agree about this being one of the best cop dramas ever. Set in Paris, but not the parts that tourists see; this is set in the grim outskirts and sink-estates full of drug-dealers and criminal gangs. I don't think this series is quite as good as the previous ones, but it's still much better...

That assumes that Dominic Cummings is even half as clever as Dominic Cummings thinks he is!

With this degree of anti-Corbyn hysteria and wild accusations, you really ought to work for the Daily Mail or The Sun.I can just imagine you sitting there foaming-at-the-mouth while typing one-handed - albeit semi-illiterately. I always find it a wonderful irony that so many Right-wing patriots...

Just as Tories like you will believe anything which that inveterate liar Boris Johnson says!

I'm not referring to people who get assaulted, but the people who are taken in to a A&E because they got paralytic, and then proceed to piss or vomit over the ward or the medical staff.

Good point - the 'internal market', introduced in the early 1990s, has led to a massive increase in accountants and 'business managers' in the NHS (and other public services). Many hospitals (and universities) are now top-heavy with bureaucrats trying to manage and monitor the system, and keep...

Once the NHS starts charging even a nominal amount for an appointment or treatment, the amount will steadily increase, and eventually, some people will be unable to afford to pay. The claim that 'the NHS is no longer affordable' is politically-motivated; it's the claim advanced by those who...

I doubt they'll be a Brexit candidate in Plovdiv, Bulgaria :lolol:

In my experience (education) and Mrs Peteinblack's (NHS): 1) lots of bureaucrats: middle-managers, strategic co-ordinators, Directors of X, Y & Z, Quality Assurance Officers, Corporate Compliance Officers, Public Relations Communicators, Human Resources staff, accountants, etc, but not (enough)...

As you feel so strongly about racial/religious discrimination, I trust you also condemn the Islamophobia which allegedly exists in the Conservative Party, and will not vote for them either. Even the former Conservative Party chairwoman, Baroness Warsi, has condemned the scale of anti-Muslim...

Yet our 'weak' economy can afford to pay £ multi-million salaries to corporate bosses and £ multi-million dividends to shareholders - odd that we never hear the top 1% being told that their eye-watering incomes and dividends are unaffordable, and are impoverishing the rest of British society...
