  1. I don't think the vote went ahead. Just a few attention seeking unprofessional clubs announcced their voting intentions.
  2. McGlashan baiting on P&B is like trolling on beginner level. Sure it's easy but it can't possibly be rewarding.
  3. My Granny kept Greenland dogs (like huskies) in the sixties, in Greenland, for pulling a sledge. The locals thought she was mental for keeping the old ones on as pets. They just shot theirs and fed the meat to the other dogs.
  4. You might not like it, but i appreciate being told whether or not a striker "should be hitting the target" from a couple of yards out. These people aren't chosen because they are informative, knowledgeable or insightful. They are chosen because they are as knowledgeable and insightful as the average sky punter (lifelong Man U fan, Maidenhead, drinks Carling) and help the viewer feel good about their low level of understanding.
  5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 Young Skywalker has completed his training and rejoins the rebels to see off the forces of evil, complete with ghostly mentors and colour coded light weapons. Actually a pretty decent end to the series even if the various plot twists don't actually make sense. 6/10 Overall, as big budget series for kids go, not as good as Star Wars but better than Lord of the Rings.
  6. I remember Luton It's where I ate my cruton -Hegley
  7. That was a very entertaining end to what's been (from my perspective) an eventful season. Well played Dingwall
  8. Is "equivalated" a real word? Spellcheck thinks so. I like it
  9. Is that the Dominic Ball that's ahead of him in the pecking order?
  10. Furnished holiday lets are not subject to the mortgage interest restriction. You couldn't claim that relief for letting to a resident. And capital allowances are available. You couldn't claim that relief for letting to a resident either. The income tax rules incentivise holiday lets. On top of the existing economic incentive.
  11. I'd be offended if i thought you were suggesting that researching Ardeco database definitions for fun was boring, but no-one could think that.
  12. Slightly confused by the definition, but i think high wages increase productivity, so green indicates "winners". Definition : Regional GVA at basic prices by industry is equal to the sum of taxes less subsidies on production, wages and salaries, employers’ social contributions, consumption of fixed capital and net operating surplus. Could be Regional GVA at basic prices by industry is equal to the sum of taxes less (subsidies on production, wages and salaries, employers’ social contributions, consumption of fixed capital and net operating surplus.) But i read it as: Regional GVA at basic prices by industry is equal to the sum of (taxes less subsidies on production) , wages and salaries, employers’ social contributions, consumption of fixed capital and net operating surplus. Which is more natural i think
  13. Maybe housebreaking in leafy Cheshire is very productive
  14. "small black coffee please" "would you like milk in that?"
  15. Sounds like your garden is on an ancient indian burial ground. You need a wee wifie with a funny voice to do an exorcism. Could also be vine weevil. b*****ds.
  16. May targets hit(ish) . Ran a 10k (in half marathon time). Had hoped to fit into a pair of 40 in waist trousers, but i don't have any. Did manage to fasten and was able to sit down in a 38 inch waist pair, but it wasn't comfortable. Verdict - not proven, but I'm claiming a win. Lost a stone. Targets for June, run 13k and lose ten pounds.
  17. Concept v execution innit If Arnie had had to fight badly designed and even more poorly rendered cgi sabre tooth mermaids then the running man would have been shite too. Anyway Harry Potter and the half blood Prince Actually enjoyed this one. Maybe a result of having my expectations lowered but i thought it had a consistent tone, Hogwarts was suitably unnerving and there was some proper dramatic tension with the Snape/ Draco plot. I'm also a sucker for a bleak ending. Wouldn't work as a stand alone but as part of a series was quite good. Maybe a bit on the dull side. 5/10 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 Deathly boredom more like. Episodic mcguffin quest. 3/10
  18. One of your colleagues being a beast shouldn't impact the sentence. The value of the proceeds shouldn't imo determine the seriousness of the crime. I know it does, but that's because the law and law enforcement values rich people's stuff more than people. Not saying this was a victimless crime or trivial, but violation of exclusive broadcasting rights shouldn't be among the most serious of crimes.
