    There's also this video which was filmed by a father & son duo who asked me to appear in it during half time. They both have (respective) connections to Liverpool & Swindon Town so it was hard for them (or at least the boy) to pick a side to win! Contains some camera angles & shots that were much better than the rain-drenched camera used for the FA Player coverage
     

     

    Layzell has been great this season, the assist for the 2nd equaliser v Everton was amazing.

  2. At least we kept Rachel Daly from scoring. She was a class above anyone else on the pitch and also puts herself about a bit, in a good way.

    Thought we looked good for a point, Ebony Salmon changed the game though.

    Not sure what's going on with the lack of bodies to get the ball once out of play, the Villa keeper had to go to the corner flag to get one first half, embarrassing.

     

     

  3. Almost 200 branches of Subway have stopped serving ham, bacon etc and are serving halal meat only.

     

    As many of you know I'm fine about Halal meat and happy for it too be on the menu, but removing non-halal meat, especially bacon and ham is too far. Muslims make up 3% of the population of Britain and some how the rest of the population cannot have a meat they want from a SANDWICH shop because Subway want to please 3%. Ridiculous.

     

    I shall never go to one of the branches again, mainly because I always have bacon or ham with my sub, but also out of sheer disgust.

     

    And before someone makes this anti-Islam, I have no problem with their belief's but the problem is with Subway for becoming a Muslim shop and forgetting most of their consumers.

     

    Rant over.

    Have you thought of taking the matter up with the ECHR ?

  4. In theory I would agree. Unfortunately ,with regard to Clegg, it is impossible to separate the man's 'performance' from the policy that he is currently espousing. Having watched the first debate I can only conclude that the man is a smug, self-serving snake, a master of disinformation and the true heir to Blair.

    Despite all the predictions on here to the contrary I thought he did well against Farage and I write as a supporter of the party that wishes to see an exit from the EU. Clegg is used to the knockabout politics of Westminster whereas Farage is used to the sterile atmosphere of Brussels where he is allowed his minute of speech without constant interruptions and the only dissenting noise might be a protest half a mile away at the other end of the chamber.

    He was allowed to constantly interrupt and to talk over his opponent and Farage, being the gentleman that he is, even allowed him to do so.

    A couple of examples. Clegg constantly repeated that only 7% of our laws come from Brussels whereas most other people put the figure at well over 70% and Germany puts the figure at over 80%. Of course the casual viewer is not to know that Clegg is referring to law on the statute book dating back to the time of the Magna Carta whereas we all assume he is talking of the present day.

    3m jobs apparently will be lost if we leave the EU according to Clegg. He knows full well of course that back in 2008 when this study was carried out 3m jobs were connected to the EU but that is a far cry from saying that these jobs would be lost if we were to leave. Why would the EU suddenly stop trading with its largest export market, from their point of view it doesn't make sense.

    You may not agree with him but at least with Farage you can say that he is a proud Englishman, sincere in his beliefs, beliefs for which he has been campaigning for many years. With Clegg I'm afraid, and I know you've indicated potential support for him in the past, I see a man that changes with the wind and a man that, even when he makes a ludicrous attempt to speak with passion, can never truly convince me that he believes in what he says.

    Are you saying Cleggy's not a proud Englishman Marshy ?
