Hardly, Lancaster. That's what riled me. Toffs lead that lifestyle because they know no different. Rest pretending to be summat they're not. Just be yourself, your son/daughter has earned it! Sister in law went to Cambridge and earned her stripes. I saw no reason to ponce around with a few pounds of cut crystal

Perhaps they are going slowly to allow the team to get in a more precarious position thus reducing the price further

Didn't attend mine neither. Saw shit loads of pretentious fuckwits walking round with wicker baskets loaded with champagne flutes, whilst in my second year. Put me right off. Been to a couple since and they're right tedious events

Saw a bit of the sky at night- apparently there's a meteor shower on the 21st

Grew a load of this stuff this year. It was less juicy than normal, but mega intense. The smell wafts in as soon as you open the back door

Makes the hair on back of my neck stand up. Also a bit glassy eyed.

Both Phil Brown and Neil McDonald have turned down the chance to become assistant manager

His non movement against Liverpool last year that let in sterling was unforgivable. Off the sub's bench and supposedly fresh. Complete waste for me

Is ale allowed to dull the pain?

That's being discussed on the qi thread

Celery raw or cooked to oblivion in casseroles is good. Braised as a veg it's wank

Remember a good thrashing of them on that plastic pitch. We made it look easy. Then played on it and realised how difficult it was. Slippery as took and shredded your skin. Terrible

That's the whole point. Plenty of people not going to pay it back because they have their aspiarations unfairly raised. So who foots the bill? The tax payer! Fewer unis and places means less to spend initially. There are only so many positions available each year that genuinely require a degree. Once these are taken by people of the cailbre needed, they start to pay back by means of higher taxation. As it is too many people with nondescript qualifications will not earn the higher salaries, and will therefore not pay back the money. In some instances employers are having to introduce their own tests to differentiate between prospective candidates. I worked for quite a while at UMIST, and the average quality of student changed markedly in that time, as it became a game of numbers, bums on seats bringing in the dosh. Upshot was the lesser able folks who in all reality shouldn't have been there made it more difficult for the better ones.

Sounds like a potential operation yewtree investigation

Yep. Also extend it to universities too. Far too many places now. Seems to be about quantity not quality. For those who have earned it educationally, there should be no financial dead weight lingering round a person starting out in a career. For people from poorer backgrounds, the concept of being thousands in debt must surely act as a barrier

Since the scrapping of grammar schools there's more formal testing of primary schools than previously. Streaming is undertaken in secondary schools (thankfully) but shows what a load of bollocks this (fair for all system) is.

Perhaps he wants to spend more time with his new(ish) husband. And at the cricket.

Once made prawn and egg curry. Apart from too hot, it was truly evil on my innards

Ten years earlier, 85-87.

Touched one hundred in a beige cortina going down smithills dean road. Bloke driving looked that scene from planes, trains and automobiles when they almost get wiped out by the trucks. Such was the inadequacy of the car we were still doing sixty when we entered the thirty zone. Seemed to take for ever to stop. Never been so scared in a car. Looking back we were lucky, one of the lads from sixth form wasn't, and was killed around the same time just round the corner. Seriously influences your driving style, happy to trundle around steadily getting decent fuel economy.

This cortina- was it a beige estate?

Seems every English bowler wants a go at getting a wicket with a no ball. Anyway, it's weird playing test cricket in a virtual empty stadium

Open trade, quality and safety standards etc.-aye Relaxing of borders, laws, and culture-no

Might be happening, but once the cloud cleared, I was hedge trimming in 21 degrees this afternoon. Sodding roasting!

It was a good insight into what they have to do. 400mph and six feet apart. Mad
