    anyone knowledgable on amps and speakers?

    Perhaps I'm over-effusive about Bose, then. But I have a pair of Bose speakers and sub-woofer that I bought in 1990 that still sound as good as they did back then, and since then I've updated every other part of the system (sometimes twice) - but never felt the need to replace the speakers...

    Posh Bashing

    I don't think it's so much about class and privilege. I'd say it's more that we now have "career politicians". People go to university with a planned career-path into politics, so this is what we tend to end up with from both parties : politicians with no real life experience and who only know...

    You know you've grown up when...

    Thinking back, though, the real indicator (long ago), was when I realised I didn't know what song was Number One that week.

    When you go to an away game with a standing area as well as seats and you opt for the latter.

    Who should go up

    You're right. Under the old format it'd now be 3rd bottom in the PL v Blackpool West Ham v Birmingham

    Brain numbingly stupid lyrics

    Syd Barrett gave us Bike : I've got a bike You can ride it if you like It's got a basket A bell that rings And things to make it look good I'd give it to you if I could But I borrowed it You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world I'll give you anything Everything if you want things...

    anyone knowledgable on amps and speakers?

    From my experience, Yamaha are pretty good. Not top of the range but good value and I can't fault them for the quality you get. Speakers? - you just can't beat Bose.

    Posh Bashing

    As is the whole "Big fat gypsy ......" series of mockings. Let's be honest, for every Tim Nice But Dim there is also a Wayne & Waynetta Slob.

    Controversial, but are we a realistic premiership club?

    No club in Tiers 1-4 is sustainable through those income streams alone - without TV money every single club in the 92 would go down the pan.

    Reccession ..... Calm Down & Carry On

    Have checked up on some facts and figures here. The average "take" for a senior tax inspector (salary £50,000) is approx £1.5m. the average for a lower-level inspector (salary £25,000) is £300,000. Last year their numbers were cut by 33%, and it has been announced that they will have to...

    Reccession ..... Calm Down & Carry On

    Even more so not cutting the numbers of HMRC inspectors as part of the public sector cuts. The cuts imposed were so untargeted and broad-based, without proper planning, that they meant that the numbers of HMRC inspectors were cut - even though each one of them was proven to reduce the level of...

    Lower league Pompey

    Interestingly, the administrator has said that if HMRC win their legal challenge against Football Creditors Rule, he will immediately make redundant the highest-paid players. There'll be a "window" between the initial ruling and any appeal in which he can do this - under FCR there's no...

    was tonight the 1st mistake made by the club?

    Was it a really mistake - and if it was, did it happen prior to September last year? Because I'd say that the club banning a long-standing supporter and then refusing to compromise or even listen was definitely a mistake and definitely happened *before* the setting of prices for this game.

    Southampton or west ham fat sam or arrogant Adkins ?

    If West Ham don't go up, they're likely to carry on spunking money on players' wages like there's no tomorrow, and they have parachute payments too. But can you see Lambert staying on the South Coast if Saints don't go up?

    As long as you're not sick, disabled, elderly, unemployed, a single-parent family, a public-sector worker, etc, etc ........ If you're a "Have" you're fine under this government. If you're a "Have Not" - then you can go swing.....
