Bench, Paying through the nose is said to originate from popular folklore, which says that phrase dates back to 9th century Ireland. Viking raiders would demand tribute from the local Irish and slit open the noses of anyone who refused to pay. I do not know whether not Vikings were among the first t...

Sad to hear that Bench as I plan on going seeing it sometime in the near future.

As far as ripping the story to peices and changing it to be all American. It's almost the in-thing at the moment with American film makers. I'm just glad its not all 'lets be loud and obnoxious'.

So is Diuof all we can afford then? Is that your big signing. Cos we need some fillers to cope with the number of games this season. You know, if we were to sign a Two Time African Player of the Year with a track record as good as Dioufy's it would be our big signing. But considering he's just been...

I've said no. Don't think we've got the pulling power to get a guy like this without very negative financial problems coming with it.

One big signings good enough this season.

Lets just keep realistic and not change the winning formulae too much.

Natasha, Don't worry too much. Those 'fantastic' observations are usually misunderstood. Like a West Ham fan proclaiming his team to be champions league contenders, the words stick in your mind and many don't like to believe them. True or not they're a different way of seeing things and its against ...

http://www.expat.or.id/cards/cards/housewife.JPG Aye, thats often as demanding as a job. With kids and stuff its even more demanding because of the sporatic hours they're expected to look after the kids. Your pretty much in the same position. You want relief from the under the thumb and you find it...

Okay, if you have marital problems you're gonna have to give me a little more detail about the types of problems you are having and the likely cause of them. Otherwise I'm left guessing and the last thing you want is someone to guess your way out of the problem.

Plodder, Thats an easy one. Its no real effort in replying because there's not too much being asked. But basically its a nice way to put a funny spin on random questions while at the same time helping people with proper problems, whenever people decide to ask. Bench, Bill Cosby is allegedly guilty o...

Ratbert, Existence is derived from observation and experience. There is nothing to prove that anything else other than yourself exists. When you see someone walking down the street, theres nothing that tells you this person being there is an absolute truth. For all you know, you could be a thought i...

Enzo, I know your plight all too well. I don't know what it is to make a TV program get a rise out of someone enough to literally want to be aggressive towards someone, but theres a few that do it for me. Knight and Riley, Michael Howard (why can't the tories put in a decent leader!) and that silly ...

Without going into too many details, you never know who is reading this, I am in a bit of a predicament. I recently started a new job and have found myself romantically involved with a g...

Bench, The best curry house I can point you to is the Pavilion on the way to Bromley Cross near that Asda which is on Blackburn road. They do a superb Chicken Methi with Pashwari Naan's. Service is pretty good aswell. Worth a try at least, i'm not too sure how far out of the way you're willing to go...
