  1. Just saw this, it's excellent. Unfortunately, we had to cancel last minute and ended up swapping 20C weather in Lanzarote for wind and rain in Scotland (Mrs was absolutely delighted). Many thanks for these as we'll definitely go soon as my folks are there almost half the year. My old man did briefly describe Navarro as posh and then went on to wax lyrical about how cheap the booze is in various British sounding pubs. Your tips will almost certainly be more useful than whether pints are cheaper in Steptoes or Hennesseys.
  2. Gyan is on £250k per week, fuck me! Professional football needs to stopped now before Steven Taylor earns himself a £200k a week contract with the Shanghai Shithouses, or whatever they are called.
  3. If he has said something then he deserves his punishment. I just hope the FA are consistent as I'm sure this kind of shit goes on in every game. As someone else has said, if someone has calls him a bald bastard (although that Shelvey gives much of a fuck about it) or what have you, then they should get banned too. It's sad that it has come to this. If he really hasn't said anything then he should appeal and, if necessary, take it further. If he has said it then he needs to accept his ban and hope that these kinds of punishments are meted out fairly by the FA across the season (fuck all chance of that hapoening).
  4. If they don't buy anyone then they'll be short in January/February when Kone, Djilobodji, Khazri and N'Dong go to the ACN.
  5. The only places I know in Normandy are Deauville and Honfleur. Not a huge fan of Deauville as it is a bit like Cannes without the weather. We go to Brittany every summer to a place called Benodet which is nice, but a little dull (the in laws spend August there so we are duty bound to do at least a week there). Concarneau (a few miles away) is nice and the Glenan Islands are worth a day trip. I wouldn't stay in any one place for too long though as while it is pretty, you'll probably get bored fairly quickly. The cider and crepes/galettes are very very nice though. Don't expect good weather.
  6. The Kangaroo takes the punch well, to be fair. If Amir Kahn had that chin then he'd be some boxer.
  7. I wouldn't worry about it, it's all he's got and he probably knows it. That's why he has to play that way as he's got fuck all else to his game.
  8. Shelvey will miss Birmingham at home and Wigan and Burton away. We should be able to cope with that
  9. Fuck me, the officiating is dreadful. So delighted that cheating cunt Lansbury missed.
  10. Fuck me, I'm not sure Gouffran's penalty would have crossed the line even if the keeper hadn't jumped on it. Sels is fucking shite. Need to put this behind us before Friday.
  11. No legends team would be complete without Billy Whitehurst and George 'Rambo' Reilly.
  12. Finally got round to watching 'I, Daniel Blake'. I thought it was fantastic but it's a tough watch and absolutely heartbreaking at times.
  13. Yes, they would be out in force as it would be our country going to war. I wouldn't expect demonstrations against the UK going to war in Red Square though
  14. In fairness, I don't ever recall a member of the cabinet berating the US like Boris Johnson did to Russia the other day. That's probably because we were just as complicit as the US in those conflicts. It's really tough for the UK to take the moral high ground after what we've done.
  15. Definitely. At the very least, making Jordan Henderson captain should result in a points deduction.
  16. Oil prices are nowhere near all time lows (even adjusted for inflation). They are low in the context of the last 10 years but that period showed unprecedented highs. Additionally, OPEC has just pledged to cut production so that will push the price up. Oil, gas and related products are traded in dollars (as are Copper, Aluminium etc) so the FX rate will have a significant impact on our cost base. It's all fine though as we have a massive manufacturing base. Exports of 'innovative British jams & marmalades' that the department for international trade has been talking about will no doubt shore things up.
  17. There are 8 people in the team I work in. Only 2 of us are British. The people hired into the team are hired on merit. We could have hired British people who could do the job. However, we instead hired candidates who we believed would be the best at the job, it just so happened that the majority weren't British. This policy of only hiring non British people if there are no British candidates would have a considerable impact on productivity not to mention making us look like a bunch of racists.
  18. What could be more democratic that an unelected Prime Minister, in a country with an unelected head of state, making a decision (which the electorate probably don't want) that could change the course of the country forever?
  19. I bloody hope not given that the 6 English golfers in the team contributed a grand total of 2 points from the 15 matches they played in.
  20. Aye, it has been ridiculously good although Kaymer and Westwood have been woeful. Picking experience over form didn't work in Gleneagles when Poulter got a wildcard and it hasn't worked here. At what point does someone spark out Patrick Reed?
  21. Just inviting pressure, you would have hoped they would have learned after the Villa match.
  22. Fuck me, what an awful start. USA's putting has been on a completely different level to Europe's.
