    Ah Dave, you are absolutely right but I do believe if the silent majority made their voices heard now and again we would not have these events acting as voice of the nation

    Strangely enough I was given one of his books at Christmas and have just got round to reading it. Yes there are a few funny bits, but he keeps using them again and again. He admits in the book that he lives in an unreal world, driving cars that are totally useless unless you have a race track available at the bottom of your garden. Used to watch the program a couple of years ago, but cannot be bothered with it these days.

    Looking for some advice , my son and I are thinking of transferring our season tickets from the Rookery to the SEJ stand.

    Before we do we would like to hear what the bar and catering facilities are like in the new stand,

    I did not know who Jeremy Clarkson was until I read of the petiton. And looked at the commentsand found some film. As a person he does divide and he is a big child. I see the size of the vote as something different for the BBC and the nation to think about. You cannot hit people because something has not been done to your satisfaction, if that is what happened, but I do not think this is what the vote is showing. I think the rection is because the BBC has moved a long way from where it started and the population do not understand what the company does or why it does what it does, As a television company it is not good at communication. This is because the BBC thinks people are stupid and it can do as it please. The British people have little chance to express opinion and when they do this is what happens.

    I think you have just encapsulated what most Scots think of the BBC - and have been pilloried for daring to think that way...

    Morning all from a wet Jersey. Due to Comic Relief, we are encouraged to wear red to work today. I'll be wearing our red and black away top from a few years ago.

    I am in a different office today. My normal seat of work is being organized for smart working, I do not see how that will work as there are only 13 people but if the managers want to spend their money and I get a comfy new chair I will not complain. I return to the proper office on tuesday.

    Is Comic Relief a massage of the humerus?

    It depends on your style of humour, it could be a bone of contention! ;)

    Am feeling a bit odd this evening - today was quite possibly the last time I'll ever work as a full time employee. I'm now trying to decide whether to ask for part-time status, or just retire completely - family issues are making it too hard for me to concentrate on work on a full-time basis.

    On the one hand, I could get to more matches at The Vic - on the other, I probably couldn't afford to. Problems, problems.... :(

    BB- I feel for you. I have also had to make decisions about which way to go in life, which is probably one of the reasons I live in France. It was a very strange experience to get on a ferry knowing that I was cutting my ties for ever with the UK. For me it meant that my visits to the Vic would be curtailed, but when I do get there it is a great experience.
    I will be over for a couple of days this month, but there is no match. I arranged my holiday before knowing when the play offs would be. Talk about getting everything wrong for football.:emoticon-0106-cryin Still you usually get team news for the match thread before I do, so all is not lost and you can continue to regard yourself as an ex-pat.
