That's the difference between the EU parliament and the UK parliament. In the forthcoming EU election, people will stay away in their droves so as not to elect what they deem the "unelected". In the (probably) forthcoming UK election, people will queue up in their droves to elect the...

Not much to add except to echo what several others have already said. My first Albion hero and also played in my first game - October 4 1969, home v Bristol Rovers. Didn't prevent us from losing 0-3 though... Sad news. RIP.

Especially not on April 1st.

Bit late for that isn't it? https://www.cheese.com/somerset-brie/

I think one of the main stated reasons in the EC proposal for them changing their minds is that most studies show DST doesn't save much energy. People thought it would, but it doesn't.

They consulted the public across all 28 states including the UK. If only the Germans were arsed enough about the decision to voice an opinion on it, that's hardly the Commission's fault is it?

Person I worked with years ago used the clocks going back in October as an excuse to arrive an hour late for work, claiming he hadn't realised there had been a change. All very plausible, until I pointed out that if that had genuinely been the case, he would have been there an hour early, not...

Since we are off topic, can I just point out that anyone who uses the term 'cool' in this context is most definitely not 'cool'? And yes, that does include me.

You may have been let in to Eric's by a current festival-going friend of mine. His first job after leaving school at 16 was as a bouncer on the door, 1978-79-ish. First day on the job he naively achieved notoriety by refusing entry to some funny-looking guy, not realising he was the unofficial...

Really sad news. I saw The Beat around the time of their breakthrough, late 1979. They were third on the bill behind Teardrop Explodes and Human League, neither of whom were particularly big then either (TE had released one single that wasn't a hit, HL got top billing because they had at least...

You scored 180/196 = 92% This beats or equals 84.7% of test takers The average score is 105 Your high score is 180 more stats >> Knew a couple more but I ran out of time... Only been to 80 of them though...

Shocked and saddened to see such bloodshed. Saddened but unsurprised to see people on this thread, in the Australian Senate, and elsewhere using unimaginable human tragedy as another excuse to have a go at Islam. My niece works as a doctor in the hospital in Christchurch, so bound to be...

Jim Hacker will be spinning in his grave. The UK has become a TPLEC (sic).

Apart from the third Shredded Wheat.

Still seems expensive though. Haven't been to a beer festival in the UK for about 8 years. But I do go to around 25-30 festivals a year in the Netherlands, always paying with tokens, and I rarely come anywhere close to spending that much. And I have been known to knock back a few on occasion...

And that's NumberWang!

I am Dutch (now) and I've lived there (here) 30 years. I'd say they are not... It's true that the Dutch (and to a lesser extent the Belgians) do like a bit of schadenfreude when a bigger neighbour screws up in some way, as it makes them as a 'little country that's always ignored on the...

Just for balance, no sane Dutch people are "loving" Brexit. Don't be sidetracked by De Telegraaf sounding a bit high-brow like the Telegraph. It's much more gutter press, pretty much along the same lines as the Daily Express in terms of the human intellectual level it's targeting (i.e. it goes...

Fond memories of seeing them at the 'Southall kids are innocent' RAR gig at the Rainbow in 1979. The place was rocking. Me and my mate missed the last train back to Tonbridge, where I was living at the time. Managed to buy a couple of tickets off a tout to the midnight showing of Moonraker at...

Edited for accuracy.
