Arguably, though didn’t he grow up in the windies and only move here to earn money playing. I’ve no problem with that, btw, but it’s not good for windies cricket and the game generally, perhaps. I get for the player coming here is more lucrative, but changing the rules to strengthen England still seems cynical to me. Brilliant player though.

I think the annoying thing is that essentially the rules are being changed to get him in because he’s quite good. It looks cynical to me.

Possibly she is. But she shouldn't be, nor should the First Minister of Wales. It seems wrong to me that the devolved parliaments have been completely ignored and sidelined in all this. The whole approach from the tories and May has been "What I say" no consultation, no attempt at consensus, no attempt to actually deal with the differing and disparate views of different parts of the UK. It's another example of control freakery, and it's been hugely counter productive.

Yes, neither of them wants Jeremy Corbyn to be PM. And probably the same applies to T.May being PM. Pair of whopping rejects.

And are fine judges of when someone needs to go.

Totally disagree. If people he/she represent get through to them, then they should listen and adapt. Where I agree, I suspect, with you is in your unspoken appraisal that your MP is careering ( in both senses) not because of that, but because cushy life in their party. So twunt

Nah, they didn't. Fake news. Engineers did it

I get what you’re saying. The cost to us now is about 1% of our income as a country. For that fee we get some stuff. Some people reckon it’s well worth it, some don’t see much if anything from it. Thats opinion and circumstances. Overall we’re better off for it, but if an individual doesn’t see anything then I can see why they personally would kind of want to leave. There’s also stuff like being able to pretty easily just go and live or work abroad, or have an easy passage through for holidays etc. Personally I see the economic and financial argument as being hugely weighted in favour of staying in. Where I think leave has more of a stronger argument is around other aspects. The EU is flawed and works better for say Germany than for Greece, or for Poland than the UK. Different nations get different things. The reasons to leave have been around immigration, alleged sovereignty, lack of democracy and cost. The only one that stacks up for me is the democracy one. The others, we’ve been lied to by the leave campaign, big style. They’ve used “well I don’t see what it does for me” as an argument, but really it’s our own governments who have failed to look after people properly that’s to blame for that side of things. And the words removed fighting to leave are the main culprits of that. People who will gain from leaving, personally, while making normal people worse off.

Ah, OK. If the iPod nano has got no wi-fi, and it's got no computer to connect it to, then you're gonna struggle. I see the problem. Best I can think of is get a friend or colleague with a computer to help you - it's possible to have more than one person's account set up on iTunes, it's also possible to have more than one user have an account to use a computer - even if one of them is just "guest" i.e. you.

Gotcha. I don't believe you need to connect the two together. I don't think it's vine possible. But, the good news is you can get the tunes you have previously bought from iTunes directly onto the iPad via the music app on the iPad - basically you sign in too your iTunes account on the iPad, and then download as many of the purchased songs as you like onto the iPad. Once you're signed in the songs will appear with little cloud symbols next to them, and if you want to download them you click the cloud(s). Edit - actually it might be via the "iTunes store" app now this sez how to do it

I don't understand the question. Is the question about your iPod nano that you've had for ages? or is it about the new iPad? what are you trying to do with whichever device the question is about? Are you trying to move music fro ma computer to a device? are you trying to fetch music from your purchased history from the cloud onto a device? The new iPad can be connected to a computer using the lead that comes with it. The old iPod can be connected to a computer using the lead that came with that, as you say. I don't understand why you think you need a new cable of some sort. Can you expand a bit what you are trying to do?

OK, ta. I stand corrected.

Bloody Riemanners. You lost, Get over it!

Your overall point is right, but the maths isn't, surely - the 4 extra teams in the EFL compared to the PL would be 92 extra games a season. Even 6 more is 138 extra.

PLEASE TALK ABOUT TV DEALS AND BREAKAWAY LEAGUES HERE. THIS THREAD IS FOR FFP

Burnt Aubergine Chilli, Broccoli and

I wonder if HS2 Compo for land loss at BH will go in the income pot, but expenditure to move the pitches etc. will be FFP "free" because it's ground improvements. That would be a bonus and may esplain some of the Club's apparent relaxed approach to meeting FFP.

For the avoidance of doubt then, I felt it unnecessary to mention that not bombing people is less deathy still.

Yes, I know. At no point have I defended their actions, or claimed what you’re saying. My comments have been a response to a tweet. Which to me seemed to be saying Israel has stooped to a new low by warning people before then destroying buildings they were in. My point is that that course of action causes less death than the alternative (previous) Israeli tactic of just bombing the buildings with no warning. That’s all. israels actions are brutal, vile, indiscriminate often, disproportionate, counter productive, cruel... Hamas, similarly so,, but smaller in scale and against a target more able to protect itself, apart from when they do it against their own population.

Yeah. I agree. In my first post on this I used In a grim situation, It's better than their alternative, which is not to warn. - Because it was (you're right) their (the Israel IDF) alternative method of bombing the missile launchers, mortar firers, and general "revenge" horrors on buildings that the IDF have been doing. And I slipped up, perhaps, not re-saying that in my last post.

In the most recent spell of frightfulness, in which an Israeli snatch squad got rumbled and one of them was killed and some Hamas people were killed, then there were hundreds of Hamas rockets "in retaliation" fired into Israel, and then "in retaliation" to the retaliation the Israelis did these roof knock bombings, then actual bombings - the casualties of all that madness were (given the scale of it all) very low. These knock warnings seem genuinely to massively reduce casualties. Given both sides utter lack of concern for the lives of the other side's people, Israel's new tactic is both surprising and I suppose better/less deathy than the alternative.

less deathy?
