    [Albion] Albion Vs Brentford (or vice versa)

    Sweet Jesus. Was it four years? It's good to be back. That's the definition of radio silence right there. I'm bitterly disappointed that there has been no further link to the brilliant penalty shootout on my rare away trip. I'll call next time. I think I saw Bozza at the Swansea game last...

    [Albion] Albion Vs Brentford (or vice versa)

    Hello. I seem to remember that there was a video of an unofficial penalty shootout at Brentford Vs Brighton at Griffin Park during the 'We Want Falmer' era with Tommy Fraser in goal and two fans taking part. I can't find the video. Can anyone help me? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

    We will agree to disagree. Thunder Bolt is in her late sixties. I'm disinclined to believe that undergraduates had wished they had skipped uni in favour of taking her place on the payroll. From experience, degrees are worth more than she credits them with. The nature of the beast means that...

    What is a lot? Depends on your agenda. A lot of Muslims would be enough to tip the balance for some people. Being privately educated doesn't make my opinion less valid though, surely? It's not healthy to write someone off as being a particular voter. I'm 34 and I've never voted for the...

    That's your opinion. I read Thunder Bolt as being disparaging to a majority (in her words) of degrees. The simple fact is that employers for most industries require a degree. I'm not embarrassed, but thank you for feeling embarrassed for me.

    His degree enabled him to work hard in a position to then afford to 'cheaply volunteer' for a charity.

    FIFA Officials Arrested

    It's deeply disappointing that FIFA have been targeted in such fashion. They bring smiles to many, many millions of deprived people.

    My brother - in - law is a coastguard (now qualified to pick up the deceased from Beachy Head) Thunder Bolt - fancy telling him his degree is worthless?

    That was within your post suggesting most degrees are worthless. Show me where there are shortages in manual labour and the professions suffering cut backs and I'll take your point.

    She didn't mention those industries and I'm not belittling them. You are mismatching degrees to occupations. There are presumably loads of people with degrees that don't match their occupation, but I'd be willing to suggest that university students pay more tax eventually. I don't see why...

    Times change. My mother has four o - levels, but ended up in a decent career in PR for Japan Airlines and later, Kate Adie. There's more competition now and a degree shows 'greater ability' than a school leaver.

    Many jobs don't need degrees, but a lot demand them. You must have been lucky as I have not met a single person whom regretted going to university and unlike you, I was in that environment.

    This is incredibly boring. You are not winding me up. Carry on, if you wish.

    Thunder Bolt was inferring that degrees were worthless. She then went on to mention various industries. I was simply pointing out that her world is not the real world.

    Where have I professed to being a snob, Yorkie? 50% of my working career has been in low paid manual jobs. I dislike that aversion you suggested. You have completely misinterpreted and misrepresented my views. If anything, you have shown yourself to be a bigot in your posts and dismissive...

    I'm not rattled in the slightest. I couldn't be less relaxed. It's half term and I'm only working for three days, although today was a challenging one.

    The students are at it again after the Queen's Speech

    We're desperately short on the professions you mention? I'm sure I read that the police were making cuts for a start. They were probably doing the same job as you, but they didn't need to invest 20 odd years of service (you didn't specify). The coastguards I know, including my brother in law...
