As a North Stand STH, this is exactly why I want the upper tiers open. I've sat in the East and West lower loads of times for friendlies and cup games now and it's not that different. I really want to give the upper tiers a try!

Yep - thought that as soon as I posted it. Although a quick tap and shoot with the wall 10 yards away is still probably much preferable to a drop ball with the nearest player 4m away.

I suppose if it was to happen 25 yards from the opponents goal, a free kick would be a massive advantage.

I saw what I think was one of his last gigs in the UK, playing the Fleadh in Finsbury Park in support of the Pogues that summer (with the Mescallaros). So many great tribute songs to the great man, but this is my favourite:

Not many players leave Chelsea for big money.

Angela Rayner.

I always think the sailors look quite precariously close to the edge in those sorts of photos.

Presuming you don't really want to go too far from the centre to real local pubs, but just want to avoid Temple Bar - McDaids just off Grafton Street is a decent shout.

Does anyone know an email address for the club that goes to a general inbox to be passed on to the appropriate person? It's not about tickets or supporter liaison stuff, and I don't really want to email Paul Barber himself!

This website seems to think that they are relatively well compensated for having loads of England internationals. I have no idea of what a rugby salary is, but £2 million a year I was under the impression would pay for some decent replacements for 7 or so internationals...

Another vote for "that's not Charlie Oatway".

Agreed, obviously they've not yet been convicted of anything, but my understanding is that this situation is relatively cut and dry.

Bad news for Ireland - planning on attempting an epic park the bus job in Switzerland next month, now without Keogh and Duffy.

Prudence is great - it's how I was able to get on the ladder (more so the prudence of my wife if we're honest!). But we're talking about rewarding people for the prudence of their parents, not their own.

That's a strange conclusion to jump to. I just have an opinion on inheritance tax and get the odd pang of jealousy when my co-workers have more money and bigger houses than me - to be honest I thought that would be applicable to most of us. I love my life. It's not like I wander around...

But you're not penalising them are you, you're "penalising" their children, by not giving them a leg up against others whose parents didn't acquire £700k (which is still an awful lot of money - I would most definitely call it wealth). As I said I do get it - I will want my 2 boys to inherit the...

Good point, I guess I mean "unfair" rather than strange. Perhaps given the spike of the cost of living in the last 20 years, it has become a more pronounced and noticeable difference for those that do not inherit wealth.

I'll put my hand up - I am very much in favour of huge inheritance tax introductions and it is for that exact reason. I am aware it is very much the politics of envy but I don't think that makes it void. I am a public sector worker who earns a nice salary but nothing exciting. My wife's parents...

Depends what the view of the competition is this year. Are we giving it a go?

I thought he was decent last night, whilst we were dominating a lot went through him. Possibly made a few bad decisions in the final third, but so did everyone.
