I have just looked at 'todays hot topics'

c1masters @c1masters (54) 30 Apr 07

Do topics have to be banal and vaccuous to become "hot" or is it just that they are easier to respond to because you don't actually have to think. I realise that some of my own postings leave a lot to be desired but honestly what...

miserable work colleagues

c1masters @c1masters (54) 20 Mar 07

I started a new job in September, teaching in a school in the UK. Nice school, great kids and a small, successful team of subject staff who are committed, dynamic and thoroughly humourless. I started to think that it was me, but...

Manager or players, who should be sacked first?

c1masters @c1masters (54) 11 Mar 07

Personally i believe that Curbishley should be given a bit of tiem to sort out the over inflated egos at teh club. Maybe a year in the championship would not be so bad if they can sort out this culture of ordinaryness. The club...
