If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Probably not. I've never ever had satellite TV ... nor done a tv/phone/Internet combo so I can't compare. Just that seen in b&w like that sort of brings home what this all costs. Add however many mobiles you have in the household and modern life ain't cheap is it !?

This is bad news on several levels.

1) I didn't know these existed.
2) I never got to try one.
3) Now I never will.

Not a place I usually go, but last week tried a couple of meat and potato pies from Sayers. Bit heavy on the pastry, but they were pretty decent.

Heretic!!

On the bright side of this news is the fact that I'll never again suffer such appalling heartburn. It was almost worth it.

Under this country's ‘deport first, appeal later’ policy a young man of 21 is to be deported on his release from prison. He was 16 when arrested and was convicted using the law of Joint enterprise under which a person in a group or gang can be held responsible for the criminal acts of others.

His parents are both naturalised British and are both nurses working in the NHS. He has 2 younger siblings, both conceived and born in the UK. He was 7 when he arrived in England and has no connection with the country of his birth.

Populist politicians, preoccupied with their own short term career prospects making bad law. I'm ashamed that this nation can act in such an inhumane fashion.

Shouldn't have got involved in criminal activity then should he? His own fault, if his parents were Saints it makes not one jot of difference, at last the law is being tightened up!

Aye, and I very much doubt you ever stood around in a crowd whilst one of your mates acted like a c*nt.

We used to leave them to their own devices if that was the case, still if you want to hang about with c*nts......
Example was many years ago in Yate's wine lodge when one of our party expected us to back him up by fighting Bolton fans night before we played the red shite at Burnden because he started gobbing off at them and got into a spot of bother, he joined us later sporting a beaut of a black eye.

^^ It isn't even the point. He's served his time for whatever crime he has been convicted of. He now has to go "back" to a country he has no connection with, hasn't been in for the majority of his life and is separated from his family.

How is that, fair, reasonable or indeed any good at all?

To my mind Insano it's anything but. Quite apart from a young man falling victim to his own imaturity, the lives of his, unsaintly, parents and young siblings are about to be torn apart.

All in the name of tabloid journalism and to appease the enlightened folk that know if something is different, it must somehow be wrong.

Is it bollox, if that's what the punishment/consequence is for what he has done then that's what it is.

It wasn't the punishment/consequence when he was arrested.

It has become so since folk started getting all fidgety about johnny foreigner taking all our free handouts and putting nothing back and blowing us all to kingdom come.

Like his unsaintly parents.

Outraged and scandalised! Tony Blair chief speech writer wrote an article about Cameron and the two current biographies doing the rounds. Included in this piece was the following:

"Though my reference is altogether too lofty for the prose style employed, Ashcroft and Oakeshott paint Cameron as Prufrock: “an attendant lord, one that will do / To swell a progress, start a scene or two,” but no prince. In fact, they have assembled enough lurid stories to leave the impression that, like Prufrock again, Cameron is “at times, indeed, almost ridiculous— / Almost, at times, the Fool.”

That's fighting talk!
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.
