    Donald Trump

    No need to do that. I can take the heat. You clearly feel that the American system of democracy is fatally flawed and irredeemable so might I ask what you would replace it with, and what measures could be put in place to ensure that they could never do anything nasty ever again....? I am all...

    Donald Trump

    Rather selective and although I don't disagree with any of the things you list above as being correct, they aren't the entire picture. But my overriding point was that it is the OFFICE of President which has dignity and gravitas. Some just don't live up to it. Trump less so than any...

    Match Day Liverpool v Man City, Sunday 14th January 16:00

    Hmmmm... a tenuous conclusion to draw, but hey, I did say he's had good moments and ordinary matches. And in a weird way, you support that by saying he gets late goals, but to get to that 89th minute winner he seems to go through 88 minutes of often pretty ordinary first. And if he's going...

    Match Day Liverpool v Man City, Sunday 14th January 16:00

    I was a bit surprised that Pep didn't give Sterling the hook sooner than he did. Sterling was clearly rattled by the crowd getting on his back, he was a tackle magnet the minute the ball got anywhere near him and he simply didn't look at any time that he could handle the pressure. Allowed...

    Are my football boots too narrow or just too small?

    You really need to address your question to a podiatrist. Either that or go and buy another pair of boots, only try them on first before you pay for them.

    TV Shows/Films you hated as a child

    I didn't like, don't like and never will like Eastenders. In general, the sort of films I don't enjoy are movies that take a franchise too far. F'rinstance, Home Alone 3 or Pirates of the Caribbean 3 > 4 > 5. Movie studios need to know when to call a halt. Home Alone is a Christmas...

    Bury v Charlton

    A very welcome 3 points which lifts us back into the play off places after Pompey could only draw at home with Scunny. Our record at Bury isn't impressive. This is only our 6th win at Gigg Lane in 17 matches and no less welcome for that. Two wins in two league matches now. Let's hope it...

    Roll up, roll up, it's the Charlton circus

    I'd suggest that there is at least one fact in that exchange.

    Donald Trump

    The worst thing about Trump is that he's damaged the Office of President of the United States. It is, historically, a noble Office and has been filled by some great men who have lived up to the role of Leader Of The Free World. Even the least able of them realised that, even if they personally...

    Donald Trump

    Having seen the ugly monstrosity that is the new American Embassy in London it's hardly surprising that anybody - even Trump - would want to be associated with it. Perhaps he thinks it's a brilliant building (that would be more like it) but is miffed that the Queen won't be receiving him at...

    Roll up, roll up, it's the Charlton circus

    Is this little spat something to do with an alleged "fan stealing?" incident going back to 2009..? I've fished around (as I do), online and in my other resources. All I could find was a thread from the Charlton Life site at about that time...

    European Union Referendum

    I feel as if I’m banging my head against a brick wall here. The concrete monolith of the Brexit mentality. I posted a piece of sound, reasoned, well researched, peer reviewed evidence compiled by respected academics in their field, sponsored by a responsible, ethical organisation for the...

    European Union Referendum

    But bearing in mind the weight of evidence that is appearing, do they (Remainers) not have a point.? All the details I have been pointing to in long, very detailed posts throughout this thread is real and true. I'm not making any of it up. And we haven't even left the EU yet. I don't want...

    Too many games over the festive period?

    I know I get a little carried away, but that's how I am when I get involved in something and start going deeper into it. Mea Culpa. I'm sorry if I've put you off.... or put anybody off the discussion. I'll try to lighten up a little. Or a lot.

    European Union Referendum

    Thrown the young people of Southern Europe to the wolves. Hmmm. Interesting. But let's see what research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council has to say. See the links to a report regarding the potential impact of Brexit on Britain and Europe as a whole...

    European Union Referendum

    Marine le Pen was defeated in France, and I'm quite sure that Dirk would be able to inform us how things are in Germany. I - and I suspect most posters on this site - will have the utmost trust in his honesty, objectivity and integrity. I think we should agree to disagree on what the...

    European Union Referendum

    If you really want to annoy a Brexiter, tell him that he hates Europe. He’ll probably tell you that he doesn’t hate Europe, he just hates the EU. That has been Farage’s shtick all along. The nicotine stained man-frog took Britain out of the world’s most ambitious, forward looking pan-national...

    Too many games over the festive period?

    Thanks for that. Do you have a link to the article and the study that underpins it, please? I'd like to have a read of that rather than just a snip. Not being picky or anything but I've seen a lot of data in various forms in my work and have learned to take the whole thing and apply a...
