    Yeah but Odddy, it's far easier to get in and out of Porto than it is Wembley!

    i went to the old Wembley 4 times in the space of 6 weeks in 1993 - FA Cup semi v Sheff Utd, league cup final v Arsenal, FA Cup final v Arsenal and the replay 5 days later. Seems a long way away now but I did get one thing off my bucket list - singing Abide With Me before my team played in the cup final at the old Wembley stadium <ok>
    Now that brought a tear to my eye .....

    Fecking Jehovah’s Witnesses

    There used to be a time when the God botherers came around in couples and knocked on doors and people used to use colourful language to tell them to take a hike.

    Then they stopped coming around in couples but the women would come around with children so that people would moderate their language when telling them to take a hike.

    This morning, plain A5 envelope with a P.O. Box return address delivered by the postman. Contents: a printed handwritten letter from a lady at the Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses and a two-year-old 16 page copy of “Awake!” about bible bashing from JW.org. <doh>

    Goddamn bible bashers cannot keep grovelling to their non-existent deities to themselves. :emoticon-0130-devil

    The cheapskates at William Hill with their TV advert for their Epsom Festival offers.

    They have used 29 seconds of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” because they do not have to pay any performance rights until it has played 30 seconds. Good times never seemed so good. <doh>

    Well, it's not so much as a moan but when you take a look at the comments most of them make points for doing it and the reasons it wont...!!

    Four-day week 'an overwhelming success' in Iceland

    I must admit that the 4-day week dos sound appealing, to be on the same money as a 5-day week, less hours, more production of your work load. But us Brits are always cautious at something that sounds great but in reality isnt so follow it up then by asking whats the catch...??

    I do agree that the world is becoming faster and is becoming more and more distorted in terms of those who have and those who don't, but you will always get that...

    Anyway, its certainly food for thought...:emoticon-0138-think :emoticon-0126-nerd: :emoticon-0105-wink:

    long overdue , to give a balance to life , but in the long hour , low wage , economic model favoured by the british state , don’t see how it can happen without huge upskilling and real investment in making production efficient .......
