• Am I ‘English’ enough? My dad’s lot invaded Mercia 1100 years or so ago and my mum’s lot stopped over in Liverpool whilst ‘en route’ to America from Ireland in the 1800’s and took root. The only difference between me and anyone else born here is timescale. Does that matter that much?...

• Chris, I’d like to see the job description before I accept. I’d want to live long enough to spend it for instance. But the size of the pay packet is not the point I’m making, which is that negotiated agreements have very little meaning if they don’t already encompass the rewards for exceeding expectations that the employee is happy with. I’m very much for strong employee rights but the employers also deserve some guarantees as long as they are upfront in their negotiations, otherwise we are another step nearer anarchy. ...

• Toadie alert!Devlin 88: Yes, Raymond @ 78 [snug, snug] they sure are far too vindictive for far too much of the time. As many have already stated. If they tone it down a bit then they won’t get it in return. It’s very simple.Care to name the 'many' sunshine?

'Ankle biter' is a good description Dale. Still counting Devvers?...

• Devvers, can't spend too long on this as it's you. You never did respond did you to those questions or the hilarious obsessed cock up over 'Mike'.In fact, you never responded to the suggestions made about you above. I/we take them as correct, I think in the last 5 years I have once pointed something out to the editors that was immediately addressed. But facts don't matter in the bedsit do they? You really do need to go to a professional for the conditions I kindly pointed out. While you're at it, try and get something to address the little toadie who always clings to someone who said toadie thinks is speaking to him.See you at Brentford?107, finally. There is hope. ...

• Ian 60 - if you seriously do not think that quotes should be attributed or someone asking you to do so is whatever in your mind then you should never use quotes again.By the way, Darren Hinds is an incorrect attribution. I think that the editors might well agree with me after I pointed out to them the risks of quoting other sites verbatim with or without acknowledgement. ...
