Yeah it's a shame that it's getting harder and harder to get anywhere in life if your just a normal guy with middle fo the road grades but the best of luck to you sir! Go for it!

That sucks. I'd have had a slightly different approach to the situation, bearing in mind that he is in the position of the responsible adult. This is like the school teacher joining in with the kids playing football on the playground and accidentally hurting one of the pupils. Moral of the story is that teacher should not have been in that position.

I'd have told them no and "If anyone else starts asking me to play knuckles, you'll all run 10 laps of the pitch before next training session."

The conduct of the Rugby Club is hard line, but more than just a little prehistoric. This is someone's parent that has seen the hands and said "What happened?!" and they are being over protective about their precious little baby, despite the fact that if he carries on with the Rugby fraternity, a bruised knuckle is the least of his worries, considering what they are capable of when the alcohol starts to flow.

Your friend should admit that he took part in the game of knuckles, tell the story as it is and that 'no-one got hurt, because they were all smiles and the kid whom he played against didn't back down, asking him to stop.'

So, how many of you watched the Champions League Final then? I really don't like Chelsea but you couldn't help but feel sorry for Terry when he slipped and missed that penalty...

I quite liked the Spanish entry. Part of me thinks that if it hadn't been for the bloc voting it would have done well and we'd have a new Macarena on our hands.

We missed the first half, due to the cricket match, which we lost. Can't win them all, I suppose.

It really would have made me so sad to see John Terry score, infliciting years of hurt upon Cristiano Ronaldo </sarcasm>

Previous entrants can't enter again. Thankfully, this denies us Cliff Richard getting out his unsupported gelatinous legs again.

That's almost as bad as Dream-of-Duke telling me that Leeds didn't breack any rules, so they should have been automatically promoted to the Championship :P

I'm a Villain. We're not going down any time soon. Too many clubs from London in the Prem, if you ask me. Also, there's far too much money in the Prem as well.

Classic stereotyping here - most of the people from this thread live north of Watford and as such don't talk like we are cockneys. Apologies to the people of Hampshire and the West Country, who don't live North of Watford, but don't talk like they are gagging for a serving of pie and mash, followed down by some jellied eels.

Greetings chaps!
A true Englishman should stick up for their country but isn't anybody worried about the major decline in our lands economy? The amount of people using cheques instead of money out of the bank last year was much higher than the previous year. I mean, all that work from our Victorian forefathers to make England the bigest empire has been wasted by those greedy socialist MPs from labour and Conservative. NHS is a great example of a falling economy.
did any of you chappies hear that they're knocking down St Richards and keeping the horrinle Worthing hospital.

I'm not worried about it - the housing prices have seen unsustainable growth for the past 10 years. Why has it suddently atarted to drop now? Because the price growth was unsustainable.

The amount of people using cheques instead of money out of the bank last year was much higher than the previous year.

I use my credit card, rather than cash whenever possible - that way I can sort myself out with paying off the bill at the end of the month, improving my credit rating, so that I'll have a better chance of getting a competitive mortgage when I get into the housing market.

I mean, all that work from our Victorian forefathers to make England the bigest empire has been wasted by those greedy socialist MPs from labour and Conservative. NHS is a great example of a falling economy.

Shows perfectly how much you know here - socialism is something espoused by Labour, by all means, but the Conservatives baulk at the very thought. How can the NHS be an example of a failing economy?!

Yes, we had a great empire, but when you're spending more money on running the constituent parts of the empire, I think it's about time we let them prove how they can run themselves better. Let us look at Zimbabwe, for example, as Robert Mugabe is doing a great job there.

Our economy is suffering, but not failing, because of the mortgage crisis from the US, coupled with the large amount of fuel duty raising the prices so much. If they cut that in favour of other taxes, it would help the economy. The question is, where else could they generate such a revenue from? The place they can generate it from is by taxing the high-end earners with a super income tax, that takes around 30p in the pound, for people earning more than £100,000 per annum. Of course, you could raise this exponentially, for people like Premiership Footballers, who deserve to invest their vast wages back into the country that they play in.

did any of you chappies hear that they're knocking down St Richards and keeping the horrinle Worthing hospital.

No I didn't know that, but the Conservatives closed my local hospital some years ago in favour of the large, new hospital which was built outside Worcester - The Royal, which isn't exactly the best hospital in the world.

They're not knocking it down, they're downgrading it. Dunno if that's what you meant by 'knocking it down'.

I live with a Maccam (sp?), from Sunderland, (god forbid you call him a Geordie D:), who insists that myself, from Nottinghamshire, and another flatmate from Derbyshire, are southerners. He doesn't seem to have any clear idea of where the line is, however.

I myself perscribe to a "Midlands" theorem, wherein those between Watford and those signs on major roads that proclaim "You are entering THE NORTH" are neither northerners nor southerners.

Been getting some letters through from the various universities that I've applied to, basically just confirming that they received my application, and saying that they'll get back to be ASAP. Still haven't got the letter from UCAS with the details for the next stage of my application though. Bah.
