If you want to project power, both hard and soft, then you need organic air cover. What I will never understand is the way we then don't quite get it right. For example the new white elephants as you call them have hard points for 4 Vulcan Phalanx CIWS and 4 Hard points for 30mm automatic cannons. O...

These would have been ideal to put the Crows Nest long range AEW radar on rather than sticking it on a Merlin. The Ospreys fly further, faster and higher.

Look forward to hearing which Conservative figure they'll get in to present for a week following Campbell.

Cummings would be a fun guest.

Cummings may well be a fun guest but he is not a Conservative.

It’s a very Dyche response. Carefully measured. I tend to side with Corky that he doesn’t actually state that he stridently opposes it.

Talking loud but saying nothing. Made me think it was the sort of thing a politician would draft.

Corky

He doesn't actually say that he is against it, does he?

How come Burnley played in pyjama tops?

Apparently we were strapped for cash, even then.

I think you will find there are 12 in the photo not including My Whippy.

Corky

The end of deference.

Was Shay a Brierfield lad, ginger, a mate of Waddy’s? If so, what a sound guy

Yes Shay was a Brierfield lad. His bother still lives in the area and Shay and his partner Jackie visit fairly regularly.

I've seen a number of these professional cyclists and they have the thinnest legs on the planet. It would not surprise me in the least if this revelation and drug taking in cycling in particular was far more widespread than is currently being let on.

Corky

Love Factory was played as a new release in London and then got picked up later by the Northern/Modern crowd.

Corky

All I can say is thank god (not that I believe in one) that I am a republican.

Corky

Trust me Corky, that lot is once seen never forgotten and they only did a few months before they all returned home. I had a root round a few record stalls last time I was in lockdown just before lockdown. Got Mel Torme on London for a tenner and passed on an early Motown lp at £30, but it was reaso...

Did you meet up with the Burnley lads who went to work at the Reform Club from 72 onwards? These included Hopper, Laney, Pete and Jim McDonough, Ants Howarth, Keith Johnson and a few others. I used to see Hopper on his weekends at home and give him a list of my wants and you would not believe what ...

That would be David my half cousin. He lives in Yorkshire now. I live in Fleet Hampshire. Don't get up to the NW that much since my mum died. But my son and I do try to see as many Burnley games as we can including travelling to the Turf. As you see although he was born in Guildford, I brought him u...

Are you the same person who went to St Theodores in the 60's/early 70's? Always seemed to have your leg in plaster? "Potleg" Yep that was me. I started rock climbing when I was about 12/13 and ended up putting too much stress on my left leg which messed it up for a few years. Had my leg in plaster ...

I've got Angel Baby by Stevie Wonder on his Down to Earth album but have heard it was released in Brazil as a 45 anybody got one in their collection ?.

Yes it was released in Brazil on the B side of Sylvia. Not particularly rare you can probably pick one up for £30/40.

Corky

Yep, always popular are rare soul records. Chuck Cockerham Have I Got A Right just sold for over £5,000. Now that is a record worth having on Mala.

Corky

Where's Corky. Hope he is OK. Hi Cobble, I'm fine thanks. Just seen this and a fine effort by Mala591. Obviously I haven't got Frank Wilson or stuff like Judy Street or Dean Parrish as they are not to my taste. I'm happy with blue-eyed soul like George Carrow but some is just pop. The Epitome Of So...

I was surprised not to be asked my religious denomination or whether it would be a good idea to incorporate a Mormon church in the gap between the CFS and Longside.

Corky

It would appear that the Scottish legal system leaves a lot to be desired. As has been said above it seems the Police decided he was guilty and everyone else sort of went along with it. Disturbingly, including the jury.

He’s very fond of the word ‘clarity’, is Mr. Dyche.

Yes and frequently used out of context.

He was disrespectful to the reporter. No need for that.

Why would you increase the capacity to 50,000?

To accommodate the new 25,000 American supporters, silly.

I'm surprised that some people actually seem to be taking this infantile, contrived bit of nonsense seriously.

Corky

But Hamilton, as far as I can see, has no discernible personality.

And they probably were not wearing Doc Martens but Solovairs from Jays in Lavender Hill.

Corky

I'd be surprised if Chelsea skins were wearing Ben Shermans. More likely to be Lion Of Troy, Union Shirts from the Ivy Shop in Richmond.

And if you met her in real life, a charming, approachable and genuinely friendly person. A sad loss.

Thanks, it’s anything but easy, I don’t blame the homeless for wanting to get off the streets you always see a spike in winter with the cold weather, prison offers a lifeline towards some people, people can say what their want about prison I can’t think of anywhere else where you are guaranteed war...

In a sense it doesn't make a lot of difference whether she is kept behind bars until she dies because she is a murderer, or she is kept behind bars until she dies because she is dangerously insane - all that matters is that she is kept behind bars. What worries me is that at some point she might be...

Love him or loathe him, he surely qualifies more than most as he certainly seems to have a lively personality.

Corky

Had a great Youngs Pub outside on the corner though. And a Nightclub underneath the main stand called Nelsons I think. Went to a few soul dos there. Bet they haven't got those in their new build.

On what do you base your opinion?
Enlighten us just to pass the afternoon.

Evidently it's because Hamilton had the nerve to be black. I'm sure the real Gandhi would have been so proud of the flip-flop wearing racist.

Corky

I probably do need a handbook of dos and don'ts for here, because the rules are so inconsistent (depending who you are). I mean we all know that what has happened is disgusting, but I thought me saying that they should have their heads jumped on, would be a bit strong for some on here. I don't do '...

Why would an ordinary working class person want to be an MP? You’d have a better life being a tradesman running your own business!! Peter Pike, Kitty Usher, Julie Cooper, Gordon Birtwistle - have they got power, riches and influence? I imagine to provide a service to the community within which they...

Cheers Corky I studied political history at University and continued to be interested ever since. I get what you are saying but my view is that the reason why many people choose to be MPs has changed little throughout the centuries. The official salary they get paid is merely a smokescreen for the ...

Corky

This is for Pimlico and TV15. The answer is a messy evolution from when MPs were not paid back in the good old days before emancipation. You see the idea was if you pay people to become MPs then ordinary working class folk can do the job and it is not exclusive to those of independent wealth. It all...

Many of the comments in the last 12 hours have come from the generation that is responsible for the breakdown in society we see today.

I’ll hazard a guess based on what the scientists are saying, there’s likely to be something by the spring. That amused me as it made me think of my cousins husband who believe it or not is a nuclear physicist and a Burnley fan. I've known him for 40 years and whenever we meet up for family do's I a...

But it’s more deadly than flu. Once we have a vaccine we should be able to manage it but until then we need to take other measures. This might surprise you but I was actually aware of how deadly C19 is and that is why I said we do need to take measures. You might have missed that bit of my post. Pe...

According to economists we’re nowhere near the tipping point on public finances yet. Figures out this morning show that government borrowing for the first six months of the financial year is actually below what was forecast by the OBR, although the year end figure is expected to be higher than fore...

People on here are talking about a cure or a fix but until we have a successful vaccine there wont be one. So the question then becomes how do we manage it which brings into play a serious moral dilemma that can polarise views. We talk about the steps that need to be taken to protect the NHS which a...

Forget Sage and their counterparts in other Countries. I'll just get ClaretTony to send Boris a link to this thread. With all the expert scientists, virolgists and economists on here he wont need to consult anyone else. That would suggest he has actually been consulting people already. Surely not?

Excellent news. I've always had a dislike of the Baggies ever since Frank Skinner was quite arrogant and dismissive of us when we first got promoted. So it is great to have Madge back.

There is no official religion in China. Except money of course.

That is so far from the truth. The official religion, though they would contest it, is actually the CCP and their leader on earth is General Secretary Xi Jinping. He has God like status until he gets replaced; a bit like the Pope.

It was OK. What you'd expect from a CEO even if he is not a real one. Mind you a cheap jacket. Contrast stitching on the button hole a very poor show.

I'd be interested to know from those belittling Nancy Pelosi what it is they find objectionable about her. I've had a look through her history and she seems pretty sound to me.

One of the reasons why I now, never bother, to watch a SD interview prior to a match is in large due to him trotting out the usual tripe. And frankly it has become mind-numbingly boring. Articles such as this one are in the main meant to engender debate and get others thinking about how their fellow...
