    richard dunne and jimmy collins

    running villa's defense

    winning every ball

    every time that they play

    richard dunne and jimmy collins

    scoring every corner

    never seen a better pair

    in all of our days

    yippeeii yippeeii

    yippeeii oooooo

    yippeeii yippeeii

    yippeeii eeeeeh

    oh de lally oh de lally

    oh de lally oooooo

    oh de lally oh de lally

    golly what a day

  2. well I'm a mixture of A, B and C but it depends where you holiday really, wouldnt catch me wearing shorts on a skiing holiday then again you wouldn't catch me on a skiing holiday :P

  3. i'll be sat in a pub in kidderminster surrounded by a ton of lads who've never been further than stoke in their lives, whilst i'll be sat in my retro barca shirt hopefully giving them stick

    iniesta is the key IMO, if he's actually fit and plays well then barca will win, if he's not then they wont

    which pub in kiddy do you go in?

  4. I'm darn sure monster munch and onion rings are crisps too, despite names that would suggest otherwise.
    Well, technically they are corn snacks, but still subject to vat as they are made from swelling cereals.

    Doritos on the other hand, are VAT free as they're made from non-swelling corn.

    Ive just also found out that mini cheddars, wheat crunchies and twiglets are also excempt from VAT

  5. I thought jaffa cakes were infact biscuits as though go softer when stale, i presumed it was like this a cake when stale goes from soft to hard, a biscuit when stale goes from hard to soft
    You obviously haven't eaten stale jaffa cakes lately; they go hard.

    Jaffa cakes and Pringles do share one property, which is that "Once you pop you can't stop". In both cases, once I open the packet I HAVE to eat the lot in one go.

    I'm pretty sure that (in Pringles at least) this is due to the massive amount of MSG in them. One of our cats loves them as well - he usually begs quite politely, but with Pringles he loses all control and will try and snatch them out of your hand before they get to your mouth.

    ha do they? i havent had a jaffa cake in years oops ok right then jaffa cakes are indeed a cake

    hmm i must try this giving pringles to an animal to see the results it sounds like fun

  6. Well those damn tax dodgers down at the pringle factory have been claiming that pringles are infact biscuits not crisps therefore being exempt from VAT however a court ruling has found that they believe it is infact a crisp therefore forcing them to cough up. What do you recon?

    story here

    Pringles lose Appeal Court case

    Procter & Gamble will be forced to pay tens of millions of pounds in VAT after losing a legal battle with the taxman over its Pringles snack.

    The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the Revenue, which has long maintained that Pringles constitute a potato snack and are, therefore, liable for VAT.

    A High Court judge ruled last summer that the snack was exempt from the tax.

    Foods are usually exempt from VAT, but one of the few exceptions is the humble potato crisp.

    'Reasonable view'

    A High Court judge ruled last July that Pringles' packaging, "unnatural shape" and the fact that the potato content is less than 50% meant the snack was exempt from VAT.

    The Appeal Court judges disagreed.

    "There is more than enough potato content for it to be a reasonable view that it is made from potato," said Lord Justice Jacob.

    Potatoes make up 42% of the Pringles' ingredients.

    He added that the lawyer acting for the Revenue advised him the VAT due on the sale of Pringles was "as much as £100m of tax for the past and about £20m a year for the future."

    But a spokesperson for Procter & Gamble said the company had been paying VAT on the snack pending the appeal process, and so was not liable for any back taxes.

    Unnatural

    While praising the "simplicity and common sense" of the judges, Toby O'Reilly, director in indirect tax at Ernst & Young, said an opportunity had been missed to provide "coherent guidance" on which snacks are, and which are not, subject to VAT.

    At last year's High Court hearing, Procter & Gamble insisted that their best-selling product was not similar to potato crisps, because of their "mouth melt" taste, "uniform colour" and "regular shape" which "is not found in nature".

    It also argued that potato crisps - unlike Pringles - did not contain non-potato flours, and were not packaged in tubes.

    Pringles are more like a cake or a biscuit, it claimed, because they are manufactured from dough.

  7. right then bear with me on this one and make any changes as this is just off the top of my head for Mr Petrov

    To the tune of My Way

    And our, player of the year

    For the claret and blue, he is Bulgarian

    He’ll shoot, get that ball clear

    Dominate midfield, that much were certain

    And once from the halfway line

    He put it in, it was unheard of

    And more much more than this
