Sometimes cyclists are justifiably terrified - most regular cyclists have been in fear of their lives due to negligent or sometimes deliberate behaviour by other road users and so are understandably a bit tense when other vehicles pass them too close and at speed.

Clinton Morrison is far from thick. If you can get past him saying "to be fair" in every sentence he is one of the more astute co-commentators and is particularly insightful about forward play.

It's the newer teams that they're missing - none of those have beaten Forest Green competitively for example.

Fair enough, I'd mis-remembered and thought Karma Chameleon was before Do You want to hurt me...over all point is still valid. As Guiness Boy said - end of an era rather then the start of something new.

Yes, there are some great names on there but what strikes me is that almost no-one was just starting out and went on to have a great career. There are a number for whom this was the peak of their career: Dexys, Yazoo, Culture Club; a number who had peaked and were on the way down: Adam Ant...

The finest song from 1982 bar none - and yes I will be at the Green Door Store on 28th April...

If you're going with Wall of Voodoo, you might as well go with their banger - also 1982.

You think he should have been more defensive?

And increasing NI which only applies to employees and employers whilst promising to reduce Income tax which applies to all income - interest on investments, lanlord rents etc - seems regressive. Or have I missed something?

The sun rising in the East is shining more directly on East facing tiles than South so for the first part of the day they are more efficient than the South facing ones. Yes, this will drop off during the day but whilst they will take longer to recoup investment, it is still worth getting them...

There is still a limit - not sure exactly what it is - but I was only allowed 22 panels without having to get a whole load of extra permisions. Even with 22 there was an extra piece of bureaucracy to go through.

Fair point although as long as the roof doesn't face North you are OK. I was told that West and East are about 80% as efficient as South. I will have 14 on a South facing roof and another 8 on the East

Getting ours fitted in May. This is being done through the Solar Together scheme. 22 panels on two roofs (7.5Kw system) with a 6.5Kw battery and an I-boost immersion heater controller: £13,000 (and depending on the details of the zero-rate for VAT this should come down another £400 (panels are...

The thing that put me off Wren was their ridiculous approach to pricing: Here's the price but we're doing a 40% sale today only and my manager says you can have an extra 10% off because your name begins with an M. I always felt like I was being conned somehow.

Not really, it's just a different way of pricing. Like having a private chef come round to your house and cook food that you have provided.

Ireland's coach (and former defence coach) also playing for Wigan. That was a hell of a side! Thanks for posting - I'd forgotten that match.

Just as an aside, it is worth noting that some countries don't accept that it is possible for a passport to last more than ten years whatever the document says and take the expiry as ten years from date of issue. Add to that the need to have three months remaining on your passport beyond the...

I hate to be the first to tell you this but your surname sounds very much like "my arse" in Gaelic.

Whoops! In my defence, wine had been taken...:blush:

The music thread got me thinking about writers who I should like, who other people like, but I just can't be doing with. Stephen King: I have tried so many of his novels, I like some of the film adaptations. Each time I pick up one of his books thinking that maybe I will see what so many other...
