    Kosher slaughter

    This is causing me real angst: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2579638/I-kosher-animal-killing-says-David-Cameron-PM-says-defend-religious-slaughter-animals-Britain-trip-Israel.html So why is anyone allowed to have different LAWS because of their religion? Either it is necessary to have...

    Bad dogs .. and other things

    In the light of the emotive headlines about life sentences for irresponsible dog owners I had a look at the stats for hospital admissions here: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/catalogue/PUB02570/hosp-epis-stat-admi-ext-caus-10-11-tab.xls Who were the two admissions for "W58 Bitten or struck by...

    Axe-man suggestions

    Came in from work, flicked on the ipod and Joe Bonnamassa came blaring out. I soon exhausted my supply of top guitarists; any suggestions?

    Drinking beer watching football

    I have long thought it would be cool to sit calmly in your seat, beer in hand watching the football. But I have changed my mind. Went to Dusseldorf v Duisburg on Sunday. Nipped out to refresh beers 20 minutes in to the first half and missed both Dusseldorf's goals and a sending off! And it's...

    Disappointment

    I saw the headline "Portsmouth move out of bottom three" and was disappointed. Until I saw who dropped in instead! :thumbsup:

    "Mutual consent"

    Does anyone actually know the significance of this phrase? I have always assumed it was a way for both parties (club and manager) to walk away from the contract without financial penalty but could anyone confirm it from ACTUAL knowledge? In other words, if the manager is sacked he will receive...

    Beggar, junkie, alkie paradise of England

    Just nipped to Oxfam for a book to keep me entertained on the long trip to the frozen (or nearly-frozen) North West tomorrow and picked up a book called "Home Truths". I just dipped in to the book and opened it near a page featuring a pier and a seagull to find this less-than-flattering...

    What should I do?

    One of our boys had a new girlfriend to stay last night and I am not pleased. He's 22 and I am therefore understanding but this is just not acceptable. Look what I found in the kitchen this morning!

    Replacing the stolen van

    As I've posted elsewhere we had our mini van stolen on Monday and we have not heard a dicky bird. I know we haven't got any insurance money yet but we need a replacement and are going to look at one tomorrow. Am I being too hasty?

    Some b*****ds nicked our van

    I know I don't swear on here very often but really. Our lovely mini van was taken. From off our drive. In the evening. While we were at home!

    Last minute goals - an apology

    Last week I was dismissive of suggestions that we had a problem conceding late goals. After two more late collapses this week I admit I was wrong and I apologise.
