CARD have donated 100 bottles of water to the kids today. great idea! i had that idea on the 3rd and was fobbed off by "fill in a form".
yep! but at least it got done. i was genuinely thinking of the kids (it was 30C+) and not about a publicity stunt.
There may not be any crossbars if RD finds they can be unscrewed and sold off, to be replaced by duck tape.
If the club had presented its reason as being environmental I would have applauded the move. Tap water is just as good as any bottled water, and nobody went thirsty before we started buying water in bottles. It's almost as silly as buying tins of fresh Highland air. £2:20 for a bottle of water at THe Valley a couple of years ago.
£22m bid from Leipzig, surely we have a sell on clause here, if so maybe this is what Roland’s been waiting for before fvcking off. One can dream
Just seen that Charlton P’boro can be bought for £10 on a legal stream online through this new thing efl are doing, as if our attendance couldn’t get worse, whiskey at home does appeal
Wonga goes into administration, and is called "immoral" by some politicians. Breathtaking hypocrisy from a bunch of taxpayer funded freeloaders who earn upwards of £60K per year plus outrageous expenses, and are currently enjoying a three month holiday. Payday loan companies are a direct consequence of their failure to ensure that working class families can make ends meet, even when both parents are working. Driving pay-day loan companies out of business will not just make poverty disappear. The regulation (as in slow destruction) of the payday loan market which is so detested by those who can afford to claim the moral high ground, will be celebrated most heartily by illegal loan sharks, for whom business is about to boom again. Another victory for the Moralising Middle Class
Isn't Wonga going out of business because of the claims made against them, assisted by a no win no fee firm? So they've been breaking the law at the expense of those living in poverty. **** them.
A deeply disappointing day for me as a long time Labour party member The NEC election results mean that there is no realistic prospect of a Labour government for the foreseeable future, if ever.
It looks as though a split may now be unavoidable. If Corbyn and his supporters are taking the Labour Party down a hard-left route, remaking it in the style of a Socialist Workers Party complete with Communist methods and ideology (bullying and anti-Semitism), the time has come for the moderate 'right' of the party (moderate left or centre-left on the broader spectrum) to form a new Party. I would strongly advise them however not to make the same mistake the SDP mode, and ally themselves with the Liberal Party. And I would advise them not to tie their mission statement or their early policies to the Brexit question. There is room in British politics for a moderate left leaning party which is not totally enslaved to the idea of the European Union. Granted that party may not be electable for another couple of decades, but in the longer term the journey is probably worth taking. Corbyn's Labour is now compromised, being run in public by those who are fanatical about him, and being manipulated from behind the scenes by those who would be happy to see perpetual Conservative rule in this country - effectively a one party state with the opposition forever splintered and ineffective. People who care about social issues and helping everyday working folk who cannot afford to make ends meet need a voice to represent them. Not the lying Liberals or hard line quasi-communists. A decent centre-left Party.
None of the candidates I voted for, including Izzard, got elected. You just can't talk to the Corbynistas. Any criticism of his leadership and the first thing they invariably start off with is "The right-wing media........", which effectively closes down any discussion. The hard right is similar in some ways, but it doesn't concern me so much. The membership in Orpington is a model of moderate centre-left politics, at least the ones who attend meetings are, Momentum gave us up as a lost cause, and I've never personally heard anyone make an anti-semitic remark at all, either here or in Forest Hill, so I do wonder what the Hell is going on out there. In fairness I have to say that most of the friends I made in the Labour Party in the 1980's and 1990's left during the Blair years because they couldn't see the point of membership, I only know one who is still a member!
Didn't he always have a couple of decent performances in him when he was just starting out with a new Club? Just enough effort and enthusiasm to get the fans singing his name, then he kicks back and relaxes for the rest of his contract.
He peaked when he kept the ball for 2+ minutes in the corner. Not much to be remembered by for a striker, but no-one can take it away from him.
