    Inkworm, So what you are saying, is that if Rugby was an Olimpic sport, you would support the Olympic staduim/s?.

    No, due to the way it’s funded and tickets have been allocated (if rumours are true). I think certainly at club level (rugby) the pricing structure is fair, though I can’t comment on other sports.

    And Sky, this season was a bit of a disaster for us, we didn’t win anything and at times the performance was dire (drawing at home to Gloucester was particularly painful), I’m concerned how we’ll be affected by the world cup, I could go on but there are other forums for that sort of thing and it would drag this thread off topic 🙂

    Thats exactly how I feel about all the idiots who pay more to watch a game of cricket, rugby, and golf.Oh B.T.W. arn’t they too doing it for money?.Add tennis to the list.

    What exactly do you mean by that, we pay to watch rugby and it is a great family day out, in some ways it is exactly the same as paying to go to a concert or airshow. All the difference between these events and the olympics is that they are not state funded and paid for by the tax payer who will get nothing in return.

    I know our local club is great with the schools, a good youth academy to bring players through, a lot of charity work and despite half the squad being internationals they are all great with children and good role models.

    ‘can you think of anything since the e-type and concord?’

    Yes the Sea Harrier.

    Looking forward to seeing some of their ‘challenges’ as a team though later in the series.

    Retired air traffic controller, David Coulson, said he was methodical about registering his complaints. “Every time I’m disturbed, I note the time down, that’s it. It works out at about 150 to 200 times a month.” Mr Robinson said part of the increase in complaints was due to a change in the reporting system

    You should consider doing that Baz, it’s not like you’re in a position to be disturbed or anything:diablo:

    Just finishing Air War South Atlantic which came out only a year or so after the conflict but is still an interesting read.

    The homeowner loses material possessions and the security of their home.They’re important things,and I’m not belittling the profound effect of their loss.
    But surely you don’t think they’re more valuable than someone’s LIFE ? Good grief !:eek:

    A burglar is hardly going to knock on the door and politely ask if they can take your possessions, anyone who breaks and enters is more than likely to be willing to use violence to get away if confronted and I would assume would be carrying a weapon, therefore the chances of a injury or fatality are going to be quite high in the circumstances.

    It is quite a simple situation if an intruder doesn’t want to end up being killed then they shouldn’t enter a house in the first place.

    I’ve heard that Cameron is in attendance, wonderfully hypocritical considering what devastation his coalition has wrecked on our Armed Forces.

    Lucky kids, getting a visit from a Spit, we had the occasional Sea King land on our school field for a visit.

    As for noise, it does beggar belief, our local church rings the hour every hour day and night and has done for a few hundred years, some people moved down from London to a house overlooking the church and then tried to start a campaign to get the bells silenced, didn’t get very far as most people were so used to the bells that they were never noticed and were a form of comfort.

    I know Brunty has restrictions on noise but never had an issue with it during the cold war.

    Lets not forget that it was only one mindless idiot complaining and everyone else seems to have taste.
