Premiership tickets help

dragan80 @dragan80 (920) • Italy 9 Feb 07

I might be coming to England this summer, and I hope to go see some premiership matches. What team should I see if I am hoping not to spend a ton of money and where is the best place to get cheap tickets. Thanks for all your...

Gruzzle If you come during the Summer then you may not be able to see any at all. It depends on when in summer you comes as the English Premier League runs from Mid August to mid May. If you come during June or July then all you might see are frienlies or exhibition...

Gruzzle Hey join my cult. Every weekday is a sabbath and you get a free crate of beer for every new member you introduce. We're not big on the praying and groveling to our God, he lets us get on with it and none of us are going to hell.

Do You Judge People? And If You Say No, Are You Sure?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 23 Jan 07

I read this story yesterday and it really put me in my place. A lady and her friend were at the airport awaiting their flight when up came a man and three children. They sat somewhat close because the airport was crowded at that...

Gruzzle We always judge what we see, even if we think we don't judge people I don't think we can help it. I think in most cases it's Ok to judge people- as long as you are not ridgid in those judgements and accept that your judgements may be unfair or prejudiced , and...

Gruzzle I'm from the UK so I don't watch US news channels. From what I've heard about FOX it appeals to a particular audience (conservative/republican) and that's exacly the message they want to hear. I don't think this new message will get them any new fans or lose...

The Art Of Language - How Far It's Fallen

misskatonic @misskatonic (3723) • United States 27 Jan 07

I came across something somewhere - possibly here, possibly somewhere else - where someone was claiming that anyone who used big words or spoke eloquently or refused to use netspeak was just 'pretentious' and 'showing...

Gruzzle I find "netspeak" afwul to look at. I don't think it's snobbish to use language correctly. Written language has rules, and while they may not be mandatory for you to make yourself understood, breaking them isn't something to be encouraged or proud of.

Gruzzle That's just crazy. Firstly is self mutilation actually a crime? Using their logic, is a tattooist an accessory Self-mutilation or are they assulting you? Facial piercing are no different to getting your ears pierced so are all the women (and men) expected to...

Gruzzle I don't know about the alcohol but to discriminate againd the blind in that way is contemptible. They should advertise their predjudice on their cab so that we could choose not to use them.

The Man in The Iron Mask

emeraldisle @emeraldisle (13139) • United States 22 Jan 07

Has anyone else seen this movie? I really enjoyed it. It came out a few months after Titanic and because of that it was overshadowed. In my opinion this movie at the tim really showed how talented Leonardo DiCaprio is. The...

Gruzzle The cast were all excellent in this movie. I hated Titanic and thought it was a real wasted opportunity. The effects were pretty good but the sub plot (in my opinion) was dire. After Titanic I didn't believe that Leonardo Di Caprio was going to go on an star...

Gruzzle I don't give people negative ratings just for disagreeing with me. I will give negative rating if someone posts one or two word answers just for the extra post count (particularly if it's just "I don't know"). Also I'll give negative for needlessly rude or...

How to save tax on income?

gurusandip @gurusandip (158) • India 16 Nov 06

Have you ever thought about that main chunk of our income goes to tax. Income Tax, Service Tax, Sales Tax, etc. etc, Is there any sound method to save tax?

Gruzzle THere are only two certainties in life - death and taxes. Each country has their own tax rules and regulations. You would be best to check with a local accountant.
