Pardon the pun but this is the last straw for our Sussex farmers. They're still reeling from having to pay VAT on the school fees of their red corduroy clad offspring...
SKS smashing it out of the park today at PMQs.
In response to pathetic whine from posh schools lobbyist...
"Under the last government there were not enough teachers in basic subjects in our State Secondary Schools. THEY were prepared to tolerate that! WE are not!"
:D ... didn't know that... explains his ludicrous assertion that "the home crowd support has been amazing all evening"... City fans singing "Is this The Emirates?" obviously couldn't be heard in the Press Box..
Good to be talking about exactly how loud The Amex is/can be. We can add "deafening" from an impartial TV commentator to David Blunkett's unparalleled in 50 years of football crowds "wall of noise forcefield". I'll take that.
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw his pace, now I'm a Baleba
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, with Carlos Baleba in our...
My guess would be a very decent stake if he thought he was getting 33/1 about a c. 20/1 or shorter chance... no surprise if he doubled the £2.6m prize money.
Was good fun at The Amex on Wednesday. Will it get another airing at Anfield today?
Gave me an idea (NB mainly lightheartedly doomed, but with a semi-serious angle too...) about how we could finally solve the issue of how much noise the different Amex stands can actually make and what that...
Surprising it took 6 years.... for 90%+ of people who bet regularly, a relatively very big win is not good news in the long run.
Much better to stay bobbing along,
spending the money you can roughly afford to each year, than to hit "the big time"...
Probably for Tony... he will have won a few million pounds today for instance.
A 22/1 winner is a big help, but significantly backing his horses at starting prices over years would lead to heavy losses. Not to be advised.
Love the last bit of commentary about the boldness of taking a lightly raced British horse all the way down to Australia to compete for their second richest prize of the season.
The horse is backed in from 33/1 to 22/1 just before the off and storms home.
It's almost like someone a little bit...
The WFA thing doesn't seem very Labour at headline face value but makes sense in wider context. This government can be TRUSTED to deliver policy that works in the interests of the many, not the few.
Big coincidence to see this today after yesterday evening being at the Petworth Literary Festival to hear John Sweeney talk about his book "Murder In The Gulag: The Life & Death of Alexei Navalny". He àrgued that BBC journalists should not be in Russia, in order to be able to properly denounce...
