Throwing down the gauntlet 11:33pm on 07 Aug 2009 Don't you people ever get bored? Have you devoted your entire lives to slagging off devolution?
A tactical masterpiece 11:38pm on 19 Aug 2008 Most of the detractors here seem to be suffering from a basic failure in comprehension. The tests that Christine missed were RANDOM, she couldn't possibly have known they were coming so could hardly have deliberately avoided them as part of some cunning masterplan.

Her failure was in being insufficiently organised to inform the authorities about her every movement. This is hardly surprising in a 21 year old student. when I was in Uni I was frequently absent from where I was supposed to be (lectures mainly).
Liu Xiang out 11:54pm on 18 Aug 2008 AnonymousCalifornian:
"In the United States, one of the most iconic Olympics moments was in the 1992 Olympics when in the 400m semifinals Derek Redmond pulled a hamstring. He was barely able to limp, much less sprint, and--with the help of his father--he came in last, but HE FINISHED THE RACE. As with the Chinese, the American incident demonstrated team effort, but not in the sense that one brings dishonor on the group, but that the group works together to succeed.

Americans (and Redmond's family) were proud that he finished, not that he won. While American culture values 'perfection' as much as the next culture, it also values determination as much as, or more than, winning."

Er..., Derek Redmond is a Brit.
An almighty mess 8:06pm on 07 May 2008 "In Carnarvon, myself and some English friends went into a pub and we all noticed that immediately the locals stopped speaking in English and started talking in Welsh."

The locals weren't speaking English. They don't in Caernarfon, it being a Welsh speaking town and all.

And please note it's spelled Caernarfon.
Seeing is believing 8:21pm on 02 May 2008 Plaid could also be part of a Rainbow coalition in Torfaen, and we might end up holding the balance of power in Newport!
Handbags, gladrags and pencils 3:15pm on 01 May 2008 Hmm, the RCT Labour people I've spoken to have been quite pessimistic, perhaps Leighton doesn't know what he's talking about. It would hardly be the first time.
