Have lost enough friends to smoke related disease, including my poor dad. Sad to lose Albion supporters to the weed, rather you chose to stay around, ditch it.
Well as I have lived in Doncaster for the past three years I will come to its defence. I was up this way in the seventies for four years and it was a grim time. Modern Doncaster has been transformed. Best market in the country (you will not have seen the like in Sussex) and those lucky enough to...
Landlord happy to be educated about the Albion. If there are any other Seagull fans in the area why not come and join us. DN5 7SD ' Sprotbrough Country Club':smile:
Yes indeed. Proportional representation could achieve this! Stick with what we have and we swing left to right, right to left, lets get the Brits together.
Stateside entry has become a breeze since marrying an American. Even though I am a Brit I get to go through the U.S citizen line and get the green light welcome back to America..have a nice day treatment.
It was different in the past when I was single, one of those Goddamned Aliens..yes they...
This is exactly the problem. Cuts never work. Tory party obsession with them puts the country on its heels (1920/30's) The spiral leads to deflation and poverty,financial collapse. All get dragged down except those that store their wealth (Property,Gold Silver Antiques etc ). Spend and inflate...
On the day of Silver Jubilee celebrations 1977 I was in Hull (I was a student at the uni at that time) attending the street party in my road, taking photos and enjoying the wonderful friendliness of those present. This weekend has taken me back to those memories. When we played Hull last season...

I have spent my entire life studying history, I make my living from it so you would hardly be surprised to find that I consider it an essential. As others here have noted, we ought to learn from the past or we make the same mistakes over and over. Mixed feelings here because although I wish...
Totally correct. Good observation. Can I add last time we were in the shit like this we gained a National Government (1930's) to sort it out....will that happen?
Sorry simmo been ill not near NSC or a computer come to that so could not respond. You obviously enjoyed my Mrs T Mr H links.
Lets see, you picked out controls the media point. No the Guardian was not shut down. It remained a voice for the left of centre throughout that time but could not...
Ah! A challenge, excellent. You start with a personal comment that I am not a 'sensible' historian. It is the role of historians to challenge, to shine a light, to sift through all the debris and find the truth no matter the distractions. I have made a very good living doing so and my analysis...
