  1. I think religion has been useful. Whichever book you read in the main wanted the individual to be generally a good person. And the quickest way to spread this was through religion. Now I know there have been countless wars, but that's over the different types of religion rather than the message in the book. I could liken it a bit to Microsoft. It probably wasn't the best but 40 to 50 years ago we all learned the basics of operating a computer pretty much the same way. 

    I would also bet for every bad vicar,priest, imam or rabbai, there would be 100 good peace loving ones.

    I'm atheist just so people don't think there's any angle.

  2. During the Jacobite revolution, Many towns in northern England were pro James for the throne. However Newcastle people were strongly against this and were pro George 1

    They were given the nickname Georgies which a while later became Geordie

     

    Liverpool was one of the major ports. As such it attracted many Scandinavian sailors. One of the cheap meat recipes they bought over with them was a slow cooker stew called Lobscouse.

     

    Ships cargo was stored in warehouses at the riverfront which led to the term Wharf.

    Love the team spirit, unity and general positive atmosphere/environment in the club and between the players… a genuinely happy bunch enjoying their football and time together, learning so much under their elite manager and coach. All working together and determined to achieve success… let’s do this!!!

    This so much. I'm staying in respite in  Yorkshire. Plenty of blokes talk football. One thing I keep hearing is they've got a good team spirit at Villa.

    6 wins out of 12 sounds nice but we have Man City away, Arsenal away and Liverpool at home 2nd last game when they may be gunning for the title.

    I know they aren't automatic losses but being cautious take those out and its 6 wins out of 9.

    Its why the Luton game is massive.

    Tottenham have Palace Luton and Notts Forest as their next 3 at home coming up and their last 2 games will be against already relegated Burnley and Sheffield United. 

    I honestly think it comes down to the next 2 games for us, winning v Luton and Spurs.

    Just checked but Spurs still have Man C Arsenal and pool to play as well. Kinda negates the arguement

  5. How do European spots pan out if 5th place get champions league? Currently we get 7 places (4CL  2EL and 1ECL) 

    I know if you win a European trophy you qualify as well, Wet Spam this year.

    But if we get 5 CL spots next year does the premiere league get 8 spots overall or do we lose a EL or ECL spot.

     

  6. Just checked this out for my brother, but he's too old for the Harwich drive. Anyway here's what I come up with. Harwich to hook of holland. 8 am departure. Arrives 17:15 hook of holland 17:15. 1 hour drive to Amsterdam. Overnight Amsterdam. Drive to hook of holland for 14: 00 depart arrives in Harwich 20:00.

    Total cost for four people £322.80 or £80.75 per head.

  7. Just got the email back from them, pretty much thanks for the complaint, unfortunately we're going to do bigger all, hope it didn't ruin your experience.

    Feel I should go after them a bit. Reading their corporate policy, act lawfully ethically and in the public interest. Human rights are non negotiable. Which it any of these, if ,any should I question.
