Yes, it does look as if we have unearthed a gem, to coin a phrase, though he has been "cultivated" for a few years now and his progress comes as no surprise. I just hope that Potter and Co can keep his feet firmly on the ground, and he is amenable to advice, so that he is able to cope with the...

Yes, I agree totally, but was responding to a poster who seemed to be saying that it would be our fault due to wanting to leave the EU. Of course everyone would lose, which is why I would be surprised, given whatever Brexit comes to pass, if the level of cooperation diminishes. It just would not...

OK a travesty/disgrace whatever you want - but the point I was making is obvious isn't it?

I don't like it when any anthem is booed, but assume our fans did it in retaliation to theirs -both have since been charged with this. Is this righteous indignation by UEFA or an attempt to even things out? We do take match security quite seriously in this country, so that second charge seems...

I have no intention of pulling this apart, as you suggest, but would point out that you speculate initially, saying it could happen, then say it is fact. Well, what is it? Having said that, it would be a shame if we did not work closely with other countries, with regard to intelligence. As is...

I suppose that it is possible, given that he would have been at one end, but seems utterly unlikely. More a question of "my country, right or wrong."

I see what you are saying and I am sure that most of us would want to avoid the innocent majority being punished. But in reality both options will punish the innocent fan, as they cannot see their team in either scenario. If the punishment is truly going to fit the crime, and the footballing...

How very strange -totally by chance, I am sure -you have missed out the contradictory bit in this post.

Hats off to Victor Gregg -my brother was a Para Officer for 25 years and we go camping near Arnhem regularly, so his personal sacrifice means a lot. The museum is well worth visiting.My dad was in the 8th Army as was my father-in-law and what that generation achieved is truly remarkable. But, be...

Of course you don't want to -just at times, say OK, I got it wrong. It really isn't a big deal, as I agree with you about the shocking nature of attacks on staff, just not the scale that you mentioned. Now look below -highlighted -what you actually wrote. So I did see the point you were making...

[/B] On the subject of being disgusted by people . . particularly those who write unsubstantiated and really quite offensive and ignorant comments.

Yes, interesting point in your last paragraph. I wondered why that rabble just then ambled out seemingly voluntarily -it just didn't make sense, and you could well be right; publicity is what they wanted. And, sadly, they got it.

[/B] Last week I was sceptical as to whether any action would be taken, because we have seen footballing authorities time and time again hope to get away with relatively insignificant punishments so as basically being seen to doing something without, one suspects, really wanting to get to grips...

I questioned your assertion that nurses were leaving in droves due to assaults on them and asked you for evidence of this; I thought that it seems rather drastic, but I could have been wrong. You came up with this as evidence by way of response -you handled cases of assault (though make no...

What are talking about???

Usual type of glib, cocky response I would have expected from you. Anyway, I thought I would look and the figures I saw was that 10% of nurses had left last year, or it might have been the year before - either way recently. It gave NO reason for the resignations, though it is of course quite...

Don't be so silly. Of course I laugh at a joke, as you do. But can you be so sure that it was a joke, or a snide comment aimed to the folk in Wisbech in support of immigrant workers. We don't know - yes, it has its humorous side, as you suggest, but maybe anything but! Thanks for your sympathy...

I have no doubt that what you say is true and it must be very hard on staff trying to help some real rabble, who have no sense of gratitude. Don't forget, my relatives are in the Old Bill, who have similar stories to tell, and even from teaching I have witnessed a distinct lowering of social...

When you are rude to folk, it says more you . .
