You need to get some perspective. **** you Dad, I'm living my own life! I assume you were lost about what was funny about the boat/helicopter picture and my subsequent Father Ted picture. The answer is perspective based, hence my comment to you!

still 100 days to go of course , plenty of time for Argentina to invade the Falklands or somethingEDIT: Split from the current government topic because... it's about the election, silly! Bicks I think it will be close but with the tories having the most seats. I think Milliband will have the same unfortunate 'last minute' affect that Kinnock had in 1991. I can see the tories with a larger vote (by a few percent) but with only a few more seats. A lot can change from the current predictions over the next 100 days, especially with the media mostly set to favour the right wing parties. Remember this?

I agree, although isn't it a common complaint that most of the main UK parties occupy virtually the same centre ground so that in reality there is little to choose between them?

I would respond as follows: "Thank you for your kind offer. We shall consider it and commit to formally accepting or refusing your offer over the duration of the next four seasons."

Plenty of "probably"s there! 3m to £4m for a one season loan fee is doubtful in my opinion. If the total amount is £8m, I'd have thought it was made up of £1m loan plus £7m signing on fee, certainly no worse than £2m plus £6m. Should we cough up another £6m or so to keep TC permanently? Not from what I've witnessed this half season. I suppose it just depends on the nature of the August deal. I got the impression at the time that the deal was pretty much done, but couldn't be pushed through in time for deadline, so they made it a loan, but with a big loan fee which was a first installment in a future fee. All speculation - I just won't be too surprised if we end up making it permanent this January. I agree that the terms were far from clear. I'm currently clinging to the hope that the recent media release stating TC is 'considering his options' is enabling TC to save face whilst the club decides not to take up the option to buy. #clutchingatstraws

It would appear that you can replace your fuses with shotgun cartridges!

So near... yet so far.

I don't think a ban reduction is an option of the appeal process.

I hope you are managing. What age are your kids?

Yep, they were waiting in the foyer for the manu limo to pick them up!

Maybe she has a phlegm fetish? Or fancied the thick head?

If you look carefully you can actually see the moment Townsend's heart breaks.

Keeping to the theme of this thread, I have a strong dislike of unintended double negatives.

Whats the issue with Lewis? Too sulky, too much bling and too much twitter 'look at me' crap!

Pleased we have a UK world champion; wish it was a more likeable one!

Having lived in/around Birmingham for 45 years and worked in Manchester for the past 4 years, I can categorically confirm that Manchester is not better than Birmingham.

The word of one person believed above the word of another based on how the different accounts were represented - doesn't sit right with me. I've applied the principle to my two kids when they were 8 and 10, but the worst outcome was an innocent kid spent a boring hour in their room. If the principle applies in UK courts, is this why rape victims are advised to wear frumpy clothing to court as an above the knee skirt indicates 'she was asking for it'?

If there really is no evidence (just the word of one player contradicting the word of another player), Celtic could keep appealing until the judgement is made under civil law instead of by a sports body. With no evidence, would the case stand up in court? Absolutely no chance.

We've been doing it for years for dozens of teams! Not won for 5 games? Not won away from home in 10 games? Not scored for 4 games? Not kept a clean sheet for 7 games? Star striker not scored in 6 games? Aston Villa can help!

Quite what?

Well Shay Logan claims that Tonev called him a "black c***". The problem is that it wasn't heard by anybody else and the TV cameras failed to pick it up, so it basically boils down to the word of one person against another. If the only evidence is the word of one person contradicting the testimony of another person, how can this case go any further than an accusation? Unless other evidence exists or Tonev admits the accusation (unlikely), I don't see how a punishment can be given.
