    He might see us as providing more game time than West Brom. Who knows?

    human rights

    But in the example in the link they DO have the right to appeal. Bamber himself has appealed twice and had a third appeal rejected. The issue they are arguing to the Court of Human Rights is the denial of the right to a parole review.

    human rights

    Its in relation to a decision - read the link in the first post - about whether sentences of 'life without review' are in breach of human rights. Wrongful convictions is irrelevant. The issue in the article relates to whether depriving lifers of the opportunity to review their sentence in light...

    human rights

    Erm, wrongful convictions are irrelevant here aren't they? The argument is with people convicted of murder without review. In other words you cannot be considered for parole. If a wrongful conviction came to light that would be over-ridden, and isn't relevant to this argument.

    Kenya Safari Advice

    It depends. Some are close by and you can visit other hotels or bars/restaurants, but some are isolated and you end up just staying in the hotel the whole time. The hotels themselves are really superb though, so this isn't necessarily an issue. I just like exploring and in Malindi everything is...

    Lionel Messi to the Albion!

    He could do a job. Lionel Blair that is. Messi's useless.

    Kenya Safari Advice

    I've been to Kenya several times now (including Nairobi, Mombassa, and Malindi as well as loads of safaris), and my advice would be this: Mombassa has a large selection of great hotels but they are strung along the beach and once you're there there's not much else you can do except either stay...

    Count Arthur Strong

    I quite liked it. It certainly had it's moments, and its a bit daft and I like that sort of thing.

    Count Arthur Strong

    He's a bit like comedy marmite. I took a load of friends to one of his shows at Komedia many moons ago and while me and the missus (and most of the audience) roared with laughter, they sat blank faced for the whole show and didn't understand what everyone was laughing at! Apparently he's had...

    Count Arthur Strong

    He's been appearing at Komedia for donkey's years (The Radio 4 shows are recorded there, seen quite a few of those too), first saw him in the early naughties doing his presentation about Egypt. Mind-numbingly funny! Seen pretty much all his live shows since. Can't wait for tonight's TV debut.

    A grocery store wouldn't stock that many loaves. Surely he's gone to a Supermarket without telling his wife.

    Which Film Scene has got you. I mean REALLY got you ?

    The last scene of Cinema Paradiso when he puts the [spoiler alert] reel of film on that the projectionist has left him to him after his death and its a montage of all the silent movie kisses that the cinema boss had made him censor from the films. Plus Ennio Morricone. Pass the Kleenex please...

    Go to the Recycle Folder and select the 'Restore' option. That would work.

    Female comediennes, Funny?

    I go to the comedy a lot, and the only female stand up I can sit through at the minute is Josie Long. Someone mentioned Linda Smith earlier. Now she WAS funny.

    What's the second bestest TV theme tune?

    Four pages and no one's nodded at the Guvnor, Lalo Shiffrin. And if I could access YouTube from work there'd be a link to the TV credits for Mission Impossible.

    Sally Morgan

    Ian Wilson managed to discover that the front 3 - 4 rows of Doris Stokes's gigs were people who had been invited by the promoters as guests. Uncannily she managed to read them unbelievably accurately, and then she had a few random 'hits' on the rest of the crowd, and lo and behold, the whole...

    Sally Morgan

    She was warned about all this by the 'spirits' however they kept giving her initial letters of things rather than say the full words, and so she didn't get the full picture.
