We stayed at the Grand Villa Argentina (I think that is what it was called). The rooms were pretty basic considering it is supposedly 5 star, but the view from the breakfast terrace of Dubrovnik was superb. It was only a 2 or 3 minute walk from the old town. The Excelsior next door is supposedly...

Probably due to the Thameslink upgrade. This is from the Thameslink Programme website and is certainly worth bearing in mind for anyone wanting to use the Thameslink service to travel across London at weekends for the next 4 years: "Brace yourself: there are no cross-London Thameslink route...

D'oh! Note to self. Stop being a fuckwit.

Assuming you are serious, I'm sure the Insider is just passing on information and knows as much about the details of the financing of the stadium as the rest of us. What specifically makes you think him or the club are hiding something?

He also said the funding plan had not changed. The main thrust of the message that started this thread was that due to problems securing finance the Blooms had stepped in to plug the funding gap. The statement from the insider would seem to refute this, unless the plan was always for the Blooms...

For a week or two at least. Then no doubt the same tiresome debate will resurface due to another "bloke says down the pub" type rumour.

The Daily Mash is top quality: PRINCE PHILIP ALTERS WILL PRINCE PHILIP has changed his will in order to bequeath his extensive collection of racist paraphernalia to his favourite grandson. The move comes after Prince Harry was caught on camera using racially offensive language to the...

Madness. We need people to smoke more not less. The government's budget deficit is enormous and some asylum seekers out there are having to make do with carpets more than three years old!

I just tried to find out something about this too, unsuccessfully. Most support for Asylum seekers comes from the UK Border Agency.

I'm slightly concerned that if this and similar stories are to be believed (and that is a humungus if), it suggests that some people within the club are pathologically incapable of keeping themselves from blurting out confidential or sensitive information to every Tom, Dick and Harry every time...

OZ4c1X5ene8 My personal fave. Annoyingly catchy.

And rightly so. It does arouse suspicion, however, when all the yes voters coincidentally happen to all belong to one party, and all the no voters to other. For instance, for the recently rejected Marina application (and I'm being lazy and not checking, so my memory may be incorrect) all the...

9 from me. To be honest, apart from Carole, I know next to nothing about our new signings so come April I might have different feelings. But Adams' judgement in the transfer market was pretty good first time round IMO, so my gut feeling is that our squad has been improved enough to comfortably...

Statue park is worth a look if you like like that sort of thing. It's full of Soviet era statues. Statue Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hungarian side from the 1950s took some beating. Between 1952 and 1956 they lost one match, the 1954 world cup final, surrendering a two goal lead to West Germany, despite having beaten them 8-3 in the group stages earlier in the tournament. During this run they also famously best England...

I saw the Hill for the first time many years ago, late at night, knowing nothing about it. It made a real impression on me. Harry Andrews is perfectly cast. The sound and the long single shot scenes were ingrained on my mind forever more. Considering the cast it is surprising so few people are...

I like the last picture. Either there are giant diggers on site or midget workers.

Possibly Insiders response on the 17th Jan to TrickyOne on the Ask The Club forum.

I think he is referring to the number of ticket applications rather than the number of tickets sold.

Well I'm glad he's committed to us. Such a shame he wasn't quite so committed when he quit us in 2001 for a better paid job.
