Did you not want to claim an Elusive Exclusive?

Awesome - it seems to me you've job hopped for a while now, I hope you can find some stability (if that's what's best for you of course). It's evident you're very good at the various things you turn your hand to.

How does it work for you, Tom? Do notice periods not really apply much these days, or is it just in the nature of the type of work you do? And congratulations too, I was also hoping it had gone well.

Some people would rather cut off their own nose than blow it into a handkerchief.

Much as I dislike tax evasion/dodgy avoidance, I hold the HMRC in contempt, purely because in the instance their systems cock something up, it is the poor bloody punter's legal duty to spot their error, and thus their liability if they fail to notice what the professional tax gatherer has stuffed up.

I suspect they've translated it straight from the word 'mezzo', which would be fairly standard in Italian, but as we're proving, doesn't have a direct equivalent here.

All of that is true.... and I will leave the next 'however' hanging there I think.

I really must try to find one of these policyholders....

I don't deny that. However, my point stands - it very much reads like 'the good old days'.

We appear to be looking back at days of violence with a worrying reverence...

Don't get me started on this type of thing

I keep reading the longer lists and wanting to add 'We didn't start the fire....'

Good to see every prediction for the draw (it's gonna be Liverpool away ain't it?) being entirely wrong. Got to be content with the way that draw has been fixed made.

I guess not everyone necessarily agrees I can recognise it for what it is, but in life I cannot be doing with petty parochial stuff, so I suppose I have ended much the same with football.

I think you might wish to change the name of the thread

It was some of both

It's difficult - ignoring it to starve it of oxygen makes sense....but then one is faced with it becoming tacitly condoned because nothing was said. So I understand at least two points of view on this. The police probably act on this sort of thing because they can do so relatively easily and effectively - the issue of their inaction elsewhere is tied up in lack of funding, lower force numbers and (I guess) low success rates, and then it becomes a discussion for a different thread in General.

Name them.

I much prefer this possibility - I hope you're right.

Unfair - I asked the question, and quite clearly own that I am probably wrong. Mods, if you feel I am over the line, please remove the lot.

I enjoy Off Menu.

Someone posted something on the forum within the last few days, no names mentioned - so if KDH has got the hump, I was wondering if it involved him. As I said, I may well be/probably am speculating entirely incorrectly. And I'm sorry, I cannot remember which thread had the relevant post

Imagne the reaction if they actually did.

At the risk of putting 2 and 2 together and making 5, is it thought that this is the result of the rumoured bust-up behind the scenes?
