England set for tough 2018 battle 00:57am on 30 Jan 2009 The Spain/Portugal and Netherlands/Belgium bids are likely to be ruled out as Sepp Blatter said after the Japan/South Korea World Cup that joint bids would no longer be accepted.
Britain's cycling success - is it cricket? 8:25pm on 18 Aug 2008 Simon_Brooke we don't have Olympic sized swimming pools in every medium sized town on the contrary, Sydney, Australia has more 50m pools than the whole of the UK, towns have 25m pools. The problem is so bad in Sussex they go over to France to train!
Man Utd should sell 'slave' Ronaldo 8:06pm on 11 Jul 2008 Yes by all means sell Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £70 million, but make sure the transfer stipulates that this is purely for him to play football and that Manchester United retain his image rights which Ronaldo signed over to them, that way every time Real Madrid sell a shirt with Ronaldo's name or any other product endorsed by him they get a percentage.
EU crisis talks begin 6:09pm on 16 Jun 2008 Why does the Lisbon treaty remind me of a certain Norwegian Blue Parrot?
In defence of Europe 10:46am on 06 Jun 2008 Ah it looks as if Gordon Brown will be needing a visit to his proctologist, urgently! He would appear to have been well and truly shafted by his French counterpart. If Gordon has to increase the defence budget to 6% GDP that equates to £100 billion compared to the £40 billion or 2.4% now, this will necessitate massive cutbacks in spending in other areas, health, education, welfare etc. Oh and don't be surprised when then full details come out to find they also will include 2 years compulsory military service in the EU army for those between the ages of 18 and 30.
In these EU plans I don't see any plan to increase EU spending on defence which would mean cutting the CAP budget, it all appears to be loade on to individual countries.
By the way you wont be able to object to these plans EU countries have signed away their sovereignty to the EU in the Lisbon treaty.
