    (over 40's only) Your favourite album of the year so far?

    Have to admit that I haven't bought any albums yet this year, though I did pick up a few CD's during my travels to South America earlier this years, couldn't get enough of Argentine electro-tango! However, I do have a couple saved in my basket on Amazon just waiting to become my next boredom...

    Most Passionate Support?

    For the volume of the singing and the number of people joining in, plus the length of time and passion, it has to be River Plate.

    Footage of GOSBTS with Sir Norman Wisdom (RIP)

    That was lovely to see. Just out of interest, it was suggested on the thread that mentioned the passing of Norman that people wore flat caps to the ground on Saturday as a tribute...how about extending that for the rest of the season, think it would be a fitting way to mark not only his...

    time travel ?

    If you walked into a forest and found a tree lying on its side, would it be possible to go back in time to a point where the tree was still standing and listen to see if it made a noise when it fell?

    Pathetic private/personal plates or whatever they're called.

    Why is it tacky, it is just personalising your car...is that any different to having a tattoo, piercings or jewellery which are just personalising your body. Yeah, I do have a personalised plate on my car...but no tattoos, piercings or jewellery!

    Prisoners to be made to work 40 hours a week..

    I agree with Nibble on this, far better that they do something productive with their time, rather than being banged up in a cell for 23 hours a day. They have already lost the freedom to enjoy many of the things we take for granted, at least if they are doing something productive on the inside...

    Prisoners to be made to work 40 hours a week..

    Not sure that it will...stitching mail bags, breaking rocks in the hot sun!

    Next Tory idea? Pay subscription to fire service?

    This is very true, my first taste of unemployment and the harsh realities of life came at the age of 8, when I lost my job as a milk monitor thanks to Maggie Thatcher the milk snatcher...when you are so severely traumatised at such a young age it is something that is very hard to erase from the...

    The demise of Liverpool

    I am a few (not many) years older than you, when I was at school and for the majority of kids who supported a club it was Brighton, mind you we were on the verge of division one at the time...which was an exciting time to be following the team. I think every team has its time, some have been...

    17 year Japanese girl with great BALL SKILLS...

    Defending was dreadful and she must have beaten a couple of players at least twice...but, it was still a pretty tidy finish to beat the keeper.

    What do you actually use child benefit for ?

    El Pres...that won't be happening, I am a firm believer in voluntary euthanasia, I will be taking a trip to a clinic in Switzerland if that situation ever arises and I am incapable of arranging my own departure.

    Agree totally, here was a chance to get something absolutely right and fair...yet they fudged it!

    How old should kids be before they go to football matches?

    Aaah, the innocence of youth...wait till she is old enough for the football to ruin a nice day out!

    How old should kids be before they go to football matches?

    Wasn't that Nige Erskine...if so, I don't think he ever played for Sunderland!

    What do you actually use child benefit for ?

    Agree with this totally, the stinking bit, as a single tax-payer with no kids and only one income I am subsidising families who potentially have an income several times what I earn...just because they have kids. Now, I am far from cold and heartless, I want benefits to go to those who have a...

    Your Worst Albion Away Day

    Something similar happened on my first visit to Pompey, except that it was in 85...not long after Gerry Ryan had his leg broken at Palace...it definitely wasn't raining, but the Police locked us in the ground then escorted us back to Fratton station, we were ambushed by the locals not long after...

    How old should kids be before they go to football matches?

    I didn't go until I was 13 because my parents were frightened about the hooliganism. My first game was at Easter 79 when my uncle took me to see Arsenal versus Chelsea, the result of which pretty much condemned the West Londoners to relegation...as you might guess they didn't take to kindly to...
