You play rugby? How interetsing. One has always thought of Rugby as a far superior game than Football. I just wish it would take pride and place over the footy.

All sports have their place. Granted, Rugby and Cricket are languushing in the shadow of Football, even though we are the best in the world at those two sports and only 11th in the world at football. Something should be done to redress the balance.

Mayhaps we should open up football hunting season? If we cull the likes of Wayne Rooney then the country will be forced to watch other sports.

we're not really the best at rugby anymore anyway. it was a good time but with the leaving of sir clive, and martin johnson, and other key people, i doubt it will happen again for a while.

but yes, rugby is a gentlemans game. as one referee put it "in rugby you don't act like a nancy boy football player, ok? if i say something you shut your mouth and agree. you dont answer back like a football playing pansy." i think there was some swearing in there too. rugby is also much more tiring and demanding of the players because you're constantly chasing the ball and using your muscles.. *yawn* damned rugby.

No, I like football. It's not my favourite sport, but I enjoy it.

Granted, but we are still the World Champions. That's got to count for something.

I love quotes like that.

Similar to the cricket one: 'The Batsman's Holding, the Bowler's Willee.'

The Thatcher government well I learnt about them in Politics and economics and the telly but it was a bit b4 my time. Well im only 17(for the next 3 months at least.) That pic must be real distorted if you were saying 25. Well yes thatcher was not the best friend of the working class I agree but Privitisation was her best move. British layland(now rover, or at least was) had 3 workers for every one job role needed which caused tax drains this was to do with the strong unions allowed to exist under labour and lead to their downfall(also caused winter of discontent.) Thatcher comes in crushes the unions and ends that. Also imporoved phone gas etc. Stopped govt bad quality service and price and opened up for competition on price and quality and efficiency which gave higher gdp and cutted taxes in one.

I'll stop there to avoid boring you fellows.

More than a bit, you couldn't have been much more than 5 by the time she left office.

Yeah, but most of the things she did failed.

You can't pin that on Labour alone, as they inherited that from the previous tory government.

Thatcher comes in crushes the unions and ends that.

Botom line is she didn't care about how they were going to be fed or anything, because she was earning loads, living in the lap of luxury in #10

Also imporoved phone gas etc. Stopped govt bad quality service and price and opened up for competition on price and quality and efficiency which gave higher gdp and cutted taxes in one.

But the cuts in taxes also produced cuts in public spending. I'd rather pay a higher rate of tax and think I've got something to fall back on in terms of the NHS or schools for my children. At least I won't be left out in the cold by the Labour government when I'm a pensioner. If it wasn't for this government, I would be struggling to pay my rent in a few weeks, since I'm going down to minimum wage, a concept which was alien to the tories. I'll be earning £5.05 per hour, a cut of 34 pence as opposed to a cut of £1.50, whcih I could have expected if Blue was the colour.

I'll stop there to avoid boring you fellows.

Good call, let's find something else to talk about. Crumpet?

One also feels thatcher destroyed the economy, however blair then went on to betray laybour and screw old blighty up too. What one feels now is nessesary is Lib Dem. Then, when they all turn out to be shit, the country can safely turn to anarchy eh what?

Did you ehar that there is supposed to be as much as 4 pence coming off a litre of fuel in the next few days? I think we could be coming back down to normality with the prices soon. (I did hear about some chaps in Birmingham charging as much as £1.20 per litre for unleaded petrol, at the height of the madness, which started the week.)

One has been devising another englishness test for you chaps. Put simply, I wish for you to determine the 16 variants of the word 'nonsense'. I shall give you the example word of 'drivel' and let you think this one over.

Not really, there's been more political debate, much gnashing of teeth over the price of petrol and some celebrations over winning the ashes.

Can you please refrain from talking in chat terms please. Punctuation is a nessesary addition to the English language for a reason. That reason is to tell the reader how to read a piece of writing.

We don't allow any old sort of riff-raff in here, you know.

No need for the shotgun, Howard. All one really needs is a firm but fair attitude and we can get along just fine.

But its so much more fun if we use a shotgun :-)

quite, quite! give me a flintlock rifle any day good sir.

on second thoughts, don't. :D

Chaps, we are waging war on grammer louts here, not upon the Iraqi Insurgents. I turn my back for an 8 hour shift at work and we've become the NG Mafia, brandishing all sorts of assorted firearms. If anyone mentions stealing lorries full of cigarettes or alcohol, I will have some stern words for them.

I think the both of you are misguided by selecting the Israeli Uzi (easy to conceal, but an ugly way to kill someone) and the Russian Kalashnikov. (easy to use by anyone's standards) I would favour the L96A1 any day. It may be hard to conceal, but it does the job killing vermin on my country estate and scaring off the chavs from up to 900m away.
