Aparently it is fiscally neutral, which is something I guess. Idependant body or not, the message it sends while the public pay freeze is on is quite dreadful. However, I have said for years that MPs ought to be paid more, get less expenses and not be allowed to have a second paid job while they...

Hmm, yeah. I am expecting a reasonable length of recovery. Hoping it won't be too bad, I have read some horror stories. Can't wait to get rid of the bag, it's been awful - I don't know how people ever get used to them. My case has been complicated by having 3 life-threatening problems at the...

Yes, we do know Blatter is shit at his job, as so far 11 of his very senior executives have been arrested, and this this only going to increase. As the top man he is respondible for what goes on under him, if he's not actively involved then his oversight must be severly lacking. If it was one...

Wish I could do that. I've been crapping into a bag for a year after bowel cancer - 8 days to go. I'm looking forward to being able to fart again.

Will never happen ...... sadly.

If Blatter is not included in the allegations - and I suspect they would have arrested him first if he was - then things will only change when the sponsors act. Money talks, and it's an awful lot of money.

First I've heard it was that time, shows how attention I've paid. May dip in and out, watching the cricket. Not really bothered

I never miss a chance to mention that I have got a hole-in-one in the "proper" game (Singing Hills). Managed to do it in my first year of playing the game - much to the annoyance of one of my playing partners, who had played all his life and never before seen anyone go close. There, soothed my...

I noticed that, though not much was made of it by anyone. So, that means Blatter is once again autonomous and will be vindictive towards those who voted against him. That'll go down well.

Greg Dyke has said England will not take action unilaterally, so there is no way we will pull out on our own (if UEFA could get us, Germany, Spain and France to pull out, it would force the hand of the sponsors - there is absolutely no way they will countenance a WC without their biggest...

This is certainly true, absolutely nothing wrong with British veal, and we should eat more.

Funnily enough my mum mentioned it this week as she said they we were adding it to the par 3 course at her golf club (Rustington)

Hmm. Breakfast is a bit if a luxury for me. I have to do kidney dialysis 5 days a week and I find it best to do it early. Though my session is 2 hours, it takes about 3 1/2 hours to do in total, by the time I've set up beforehand and tidied up after. If I start about 7 I'm done by about 11...

In the same way that Al Capone was done for mail fraud, maybe Blatter should be forced to justify his excessive use of brown envelopes once they see the stationary accounts.

"Sussaxons" hardly scans for chants, does it. I can barely say it, it's an awful word. Not sure why, but at this point I wanted to mention that my parents business for over 30 years was called "South Saxon" - and very successful it was too.

The name means nothing to me, so no idea. But then the name Louie Walsh means nothing to me either.

He will get re-elected today but will not see out his term. A good point was made on Newsnight last night that corruption is a way of life for many of these countries so this is almost a non-issue for them, it's just a given. I wonder whether the old man clings on so hard because he knows if...

Not read any of the thread so this has probably been said, but it seems that everyone is pussy-footing around here - Visa say we "may" look at our sponsorship, UEFA say we "may" withdraw teams from the World Cup. What you need is for someone to step up to the plate and say we "will" do...

The only thing I know about strikes is when I've been affected, so I probably have a jaundiced anti-union view. I have never been a member of a union or worked anywhere where anybody has been in one. I do vaugely remember the 3-day weeks in the 70s, so that probably implanted a view at an early age.
