    Do you Tip for take outs?

    People who do lowly paid jobs and who usually rely on tips to bring them up to anywhere near a decent wage almost always remember those who are poor or non-tippers...not that I would suggest for a moment that this might affect the service they give in the future...however, if someone was a...

    Obscure places known only because of their football teams

    How about Edinburgh, with Hibs and Hearts...the latter is named after a dance hall, apparently...neither feature the city in their name. Their other team, Meadowbank Thistle, were relocated and became Livingston.

    Zola

    Well they do both begin with the letter "B" and they have football teams...now I am starting to run out of comparisons...can anyone think of some more?

    Obscure places known only because of their football teams

    I think Clyde used to be in Glasgow (as did the late lamented Clydebank) but they relocated to a new town some miles outside the city...having been to their ground I bet there are some who wish they had stayed put.

    Are the Notice for Intended Prosecution letters sent out recorded delivery? If not, how can it ever be proven that you received notification within the legal period?

    Student protests and edl

    There is a difference, when the EDL march the Police don't allow them to have their faces covered...there were plenty of people who had their faces covered up on the student demonstrations, though I accept that they were probably the anarchist mob who have no intention of going anywhere near an...

    Michell Platinii, are you trying to be a bigger idiot than Sepp Bladder ?

    Hmm, I am guessing that Qatar probably omitted from their bid the fact that their climate is just about the most inhospitable on Earth to play football in June/July...it did occur to me at the time the bid was announced that playing it in Dec/Jan/Feb might just work, but I didn't think anyone...

    Soaring fuel prices

    I think there is an opportunity here...perhaps we could all sponsor students to protest on our behalf, the benefit would be that they would get an income to help fund their education and we could protest against stuff without the inconvenience of having to go up to London and get kettled in...

    Soaring fuel prices

    We used to have something called the fuel price escalator, if my mind isn't playing tricks on me, think it was introduced in the mid-90's and carried on until well into the Labour Government. I believe it meant that fuel would increase by a set, and pre-agreed, amount each year regardless of...

    Anyone know of any reputable pet shops in Brighton/Sussex that sell KITTENS.

    My parents were given a grilling by the Cats Protection League...they wanted to know how the previous cat had died, despite it being an estimated 17 years old and being despatched by the vet...if you treated a cat badly there is no way it would hang around for anything near that long!

    Anyone know of any reputable pet shops in Brighton/Sussex that sell KITTENS.

    Good call. My brother, who used to live in Worthing, got one from there. Apparently it had been liberated by the Police from a drugs den and although still a kitten hadn't been well looked after...for the first few weeks it refused to sleep in the cat basket and prefered to curl up in a large...

    Cenotaph climber revealed

    Exactly, a fairly part of the reason we entered WWI, WWII, The Falklands Conflict and the first Gulf War, were largely due to extreme nationalism and occupation of other countries...to compare that with the Balkans is quite frankly insane.

    Cenotaph climber revealed

    Those people demonstrating yesterday were demanding that we respect their point of view...well, in my opinion respect must be earnt and not demanded, a very good starting point is respecting others. The first I saw of the attack on the Royals was on the late evening news and when added to tales...

    Cenotaph climber revealed

    I agree, it might just be a large piece of stone but it is what it represents to the nation, remembering those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we might live in a place where scrotes like him are free to chose what they do with their life and not have it enforced on them by the state...which...

    JS's American Express Communtiy Stadium Watch No.101 (10/12/10).

    I have one from the last batch, looking up into the stand roof with all the floodlights...superb shot, as are these, particularly like the first couple of batch one.

    Newcastle considered PAUL TISDALE to replace Hughton

    I agree, Tisdale will be the manager of a Premiership side someday, he has to be one of the best young "English" managers around.
