  1. No, from Jardine to Collingwood people have been castigated for being within the rules but not the spirit of the game. Without fairplay cricket loses some of its appeal.
  2. As relevant today as it was in the 80s. cHzOG4mJ0PA
  3. Very risky as F1 is funded by sponsors and it's a mass audiences they want not ppv. On the Beeb they'll probably have 7m, on Sky they'll struggle for 1m. OK for some teams but those with sponsors with UK interests will be worried they'll want to pay less if reaching a smaller audience.
  4. I'm expecting an album of sub-par Oasis b-sides, like The Masterplan but without the gems. Noel seems to have a fondness for whimsical little ditties.
  5. A new season about to start if anybody fancies a swing of the virtual bat. Alliance is "TLW Alliance". http://www.battrick.org/
  6. What happens if the illness is medical, degenerative and surgeons have tried to 'sort you out'? How bad would you allow quality of life to get?
  7. Yep, but then my fear of the operating table reminds me I haven't hit that low yet.
  8. So it was drug related or are you just embarrassing yerself... again?
  9. Such a waste of talent but all terribly predictable and cliched.
  10. Away from the battlefield action films, Downfall and Das Boot are terrific and I've a liking for the Beeb's Rogue Male with Peter O'Toole, All gripping and well acted.
  11. Coz our industry was suffering and he brought a lot of work to our studios. From Lolita onwards England doubled for most of the locations in his films.
  12. Kubrick's hit rate, or rather classic rate, is goddamn scary as he also helmed 2001, Spartacus and The Shining; all have inspired but not been bettered. We're lucky he was an anglophile and stayed here.
  13. Found the probing of compensation payments to Gordon Taylor and Max Clifford to be laughable. Rupert claiming he wasn't informed and James not knowing who signed it off. If this is a true insight into NI then employees could have defrauded them weekly without anybody twigging.
  14. Never watched any of em but I'm not fussed by Sky Atlantic etc.
  15. Tom Watson pinned down son and dad today and they just stonewalled him with Rupert seemingly relying on the Altheizmers defence and James claiming to not know what was going on within Notw. Lots of false humility but like most witnesses refusing to name names.
  16. Don't disagree but it's a fact we're stuck with Cameron and his stance is to drive users to private care providers - claiming to provide choice but not talking much about quality.
  17. I've a friend who's a manager for them and they were unceremoniously asset-stripped - questions should also be asked of rbs as they must have realised this would make the business model shaky. Both probably knew that local authorities and government would have a duty of care to ensure the residents were looked after. In healthcare there really should be safeguards put in place to protect the vulnerable in the private sector, especially as we're all living longer and demand will only increase.
  18. Agree, fucking hard choice. Went with I am the Resurrection but I love Elephant Stone, I Wanna Be Adored and Made of Stone.
  19. Will Self was on the mark that it's hypocritical of the public to get to pious as the Notw fed the desire of millions for titillation.
