  1. If Tony had walked into your house to take the sarnie and blankets to give to the homeless man...then you could accuse him of being socialist.
  2. Or maybe they are just confident enough in their own decision making abilities without feeling the need to get all preachy or sanctimonious it? It may surprise you but the majority of people actually try to avoid conflict, not create it. Whilst some are busy shouting about how amazing it is that a hundred thousand turn out for some or other protest march...there are still 60+ million others in the country at home just minding their own business. A case maybe of ‘empty vessels make the most noise’?
  3. I wouldn’t worry too much about where you stand on a list that lists Kensington as being a more deprived than Pontypridd!
  4. I love rugby and even though I'm Welsh (where obviously we can't afford posh nobbers), I think you are being a little bit oversensitive in your stance. 13 of the England starters on Saturday have attended a fee paying private school. 1 of the other two went to a selective Grammar School. Now you can protest with the experiences of you and your mates, but those stats ARE pretty telling about the requirements of success in the English game and leave it open, quite rightly, to a certain level of criticism.
  5. This may sound like a stupid question but don't the government own the Royal Mint...who I assume are producing these 50p's? So is the story that the government have to pay themselves a cancellation fee?
  6. I absolutely love Topics!! My only complaint..too bloody small!
  7. As a kid I would happily chomp through the orange Viscount biscuits in order to sooner bring about the pinnacle... the mint Viscount biscuits (strict one pack open at a time policy in force). And I still would!
  8. Except of course in Poland, that doesn't recognise dual-nationality.
  9. This story got a like solely for you using the phrase ‘the big light’. Love that phrase, a staple in my house as a kid but haven’t heard it for years!
  10. Fortunately we’ve got intellectualism like That should get us back on track.
  11. *This is probably more inflammatory than I intend. Also marks me out as out of touch and a bit of a**hole (which are both fair)* I deliberately excluded them as I would have thought the ‘benefit classes’ would have been well versed in producing ID if nothing else?!
  12. Well we are in agreement that the old are probably going to be the demographic most affected by such a change. That would be the same old that are racist, bigoted, uneducated and stole the futures of our children. The same old whose death rate seems to have been offered up as a legitimate excuse for holding a second EU referendum. I’m interested that everyone seems to think they would also be voting against the tories?
  13. Trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist? Ah, so that explains why it is standard practice in nearly every other country of the EU!
  14. Where do remain backing SNP, Plaid and Sinn Fein voters fit into this categorisation?
  15. So there are things about my private life I don’t want in the public domain. I know, I’ll post them on Instagram.
  16. Such a shame Japan weren’t street smart enough with it! 7 points up with a minute to play against Ireland and a 5m scrum right under the posts, all logic dictated to see the time out and try to drop a goal. Their failure to do so gave Ireland the BP that effectively guarantees a quarter final spot and sadly makes the Japanese passage through so much harder. I guess that is the benefit. In a tight game like that, Japan should have been motivated to score again whilst Ireland were both motivated to get level or when/if they felt the game was gone...to stay in touch.
  17. I actually think the tournament would benefit from a secondary competition after the group stages. With the knockout stages meaning only Saturdays/Sundays have games, maybe they could fill in the Tuesday/Wednesday slots with a ‘World Bowl’ consisting of the 3rd and 4th placed teams from the groups. Should make more group games mean something, give the lesser teams something to aspire to and put the lower ranked tier 1 nations on a perch on which they can be shot at!
  18. The biggest shock for me about this letter is that the headmaster of Eton would start a letter ‘Dear Stanley’...how terribly informal! Obviously once I was over that, I was then disappointed it didn’t continue ‘I wrote you but you still ain’t calling, I sent you two carrier pigeons but you must not have got ‘em’.
