    Too true sensible but on a certain website they are bragging that under Fletch we have averaged a point per game .... it was pointed out that it isn't anything to brag about lol

    Hey Mrs Lala, i meant that Gat would cheat as she would take points off me like she did when Plym had a good score. I never know how many points i have until you put the table up. No idea how many points you get for what lol.

    OMG you are all ganging up on me ..... its simple Joe .... 3pts for a correct score and 1 point if you predict a draw or a win for a team but didnt predict the correct score, and I wont explain the joker cos you must know how that works !

    I didn't say it was good enough for Argyle but only for the prediction league. See, that's where I go wrong as I never predict Argyle to lose. If Argyle keep up a point a game from here on in then we might just have the lowest ever total of points in league 2. We had the highest once didn't we so we would have 2 records. Just watch this space. When my fortunes turn just watch Argyle go or is that the other way around.

    Yes we did and the QPR match in league 1 when we got promoted is etched in my memory, also getting to the council house on the Sunday at 9am so the kids had a good view and literally minutes before the team arrived these 5 strapping men chose to stand infront of us ..... for some reason our flags kept going down over their faces so they couldnt see anything and they moved lol

    Don't remind me Gat it's too painful given what has happened recently. I would have thought a lady like you would have stuck your flag in a much more stategic place than across their faces. I remember the day well. Some Fricking woman kept blinding me with a flag so I had to move as well. Her and her bloody kids.............. My 4 mates were well pee'd off. Never seen her since.

    Glad to hear the family are ok Joe.

    Gat, don't take any notice of the others, I'm sure it is just a case of them being worried about your skills in predicting the scores. :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Does anyone listen to Prime Minister's Questions occasionally?

    It always but always starts with the PM saying he'd like to record his sympathy with the family of Trooper X or Royal Marine Y killed in Afghanistan or Iraq or wherever and then we have the estimable Leader of the Opposition seconding the PM's comments and it's all intended to be very moving I'm sure.

    However, I get the distinct impression it's now no different to MP's kissing babies or wittering on about "hard working families", a phrase they couldn't live without.

    Don't get me wrong, it's the politicians I'm having a go at for just parroting the same old things. Rather than parading their feelings for the fallen in public, maybe they should merely pick up the phone and express their sympathies privately to the bereaved and not try to cash in tragedies.

    How different their empty words seem to the genuine respect at Wotton Basset for example, which I wouldn't be cynical about in the slightest.......

    Oh & PS, very moving interview this morning on R4 with the mother of a lieutenant who was shot in the shoulder in Afghanistan, not necessarily a fatal wound you'd imagine, who then bled to death because it took over 40 minutes to get a helicopter to him. Less breast beating in the House of Commons and jumping on the FIFA/poppy bandwagon and a few more helicopters might be a good thing.....

    I at times listen or watch Prime Minister's Question time...........I sometimes wonder what would happen if an MP asked a question that wasn't on the prepared agreed script...........would the PM rapidly be looking through his paperwork cursing under his breath........thinking that one of his minions had got his paperwork in the wrong order...........
    would the pompous Speaker have one of his self-righteous turns when he cottoned on that things were not going to script...........and what would happen to the MP who had stepped out of line.

    Accept for the cut and thrust of the question and the answer it's just a machine in motion and personal one upmanship as far as I can see...........it is sad that your performance at the dispatch box can make or break you as a leader.

    By the way notDistantGreen............ill advised word to use........ "parroting"..........Mrs LaLa and her beloved Beau might take umbrage at that...........you got to be careful with the powers that be..........must not upset the esteemed Lady.

    I pretty much always listen to PM's Question Time and the opening always has me close to retching. They send these young men all that way to get killed and I'm damned if I know why we are there. I keep hearing it is in my name and for my benefit to keep me safe but I still don't quite get it. This lot didn't send them there but they voted in favour so it is tantamount to the same thing. We spend billions to send them there and keep them there and it sure as hell isn't in my name. If I was cynical I might just think it was to enhance the politicians standing rather than any practical reason. Same applied to Iraq in my opinion and yes I did go on the anti march and attend at the Guildhall in Plymouth to register my disapproval. Fat lot of notice any of them take though even though it is supposedly for us.
