Is there anyone else who thinks the hand-held scanners, which I have never used myself, are a shoplifters delight. Apparently supermarkets do random checks on bags at the till, but how easy would it be to say that you had scanned everything and an item must have not scanned properly if they...

If the person whose surname was Goodhead married Shay Given and hyphenated their name...

...nope, I think it should be delete!

Haven't got a picture of it, but on the London Underground a few years ago they had a campaign against assaults on staff...the poster showed a picture of prison gates with the strapline "If you assault a member of London Transport staff you could end up here"...to which someone had added "Morden...

...or one of the most diverse cultures ethnically speaking and the most established immigrant communities...which was one of our selling points!

Oh yeah, and isn't it the country that was exposed for buying 7-year old Pakistani boys to use as jockeys for camel racing?

In a previous job I did some docs checks on an employee, whose maiden name was Butt...she had a sister called Anita!

It would if all football fans around the World joined in...there are billions of us. I promise never to eat another McDonald's or drink a bottle of Budweiser. Is anyone else willing to join me?

Think they are having a laugh there, although it is usually colder north of the Downs than on the coast in the winter and the opposite in the summer, because of the warming and cooling effects of the sea respectively...at least that was the case from memory in Storrington, and as Sullington...

I agree with this, despite my displeasure with FIFA (and UEFA to a degree)...the best thing would be to force change from within, we suspect that FIFA is rotten from the top down, lets force this out into the open and expose the fraudsters. If we can do this and end up with a governing body...

Me too...didn't we sing it at Crawley fans when we played them in the FA Cup at the Goldstone?

Should we just accept that nobody likes us anymore and just withdraw from everything, we are never going to win Eurovision again so stuff that crap...after today the sentiment is that it is unlikely that we will ever get another World Cup...when it comes down to it the English (British) are pariahs.

Perhaps as we have a stamp out racism day at club level we should have a stamp out corruption day at international level.

Which is shocking as there is no doubt in my mind that the Aussies would put on an absolutely brilliant World Cup, they did it for the Olympics and the rugby...from a fans perspective there couldn't have been a more popular winner.

Exactly...I would like to see the press do what they seem adept at, that is to say destroy something, if they can nobble FIFA and let us have a governing body that is fit for purpose and free from dubious practice then they will have done the World a favour.

Perhaps we should have a thread of things that are great about World Cups that you are unlikely to see in Qatar...I will start you off with: Abundant campsites where people from all nations mingle happily together, playing random games of five or more a side on a handy patch of grass, where the...

There is a big difference though, Geoff Hurst was carried off the field on the shoulders of fans after winning the World Cup, David Beckham often found himself carrying ten other players for 90 minutes during his games. For services to football there is no doubt in my mind that David Beckham...

I went to Qatar in 2004 and would have to say that this isn't far off what I found. I arrived in early July and the temperature on my first day there was a blood boiling 54C, though at night it did drop to the mid-30s...to find out what that is like, turn on your oven, open the door when it has...

Much as I love football it is now clear that FIFA has a level of corruption seeping through its veins that would put many a tin-pot dictatorship to shame...so, sadly I vote no as I would rather we had nothing to do with this tarnished gang of crooks and their organisation until the whole sorry...

I have decided to have a go at making mince pies this year, I can make pastry and already bake stuff like muffins and cakes, so it shouldn't be too difficult. My main criticism of bad pies is that the pastry is too thick or bland and there isn't enough mincemeat, or it is poor quality, so the...
