You know how some suburbs are a bit dodgy, but they started out nice and degraded over the years as families grew up and moved out and housing trust took hold

Davoren Park is not one of those suburbs. It was built dodgy.

Powerstufff, here's two links that mention the zones that Jumbo was talking about from the Guardian.
Took me 10seconds to find them and a minute to skim read.

On Thursday, a 25-year-old police officer, Clarissa Jean-Philippe, was killed in an attack in the south Paris suburb of Montrouge. The tragedy was not linked by her colleagues to the Charlie Hebdo atrocity. Thooris said that once the dust had settled and those responsible for both armed attacks were brought to justice, the police would be demanding action from the government.

“Now isn’t the time to criticise, but for decades there have been no-go zones in the council estates where there are arms caches and drug running,” he said.

Have spent a little bit of time in Paris in recent years and Montrouge was on my metro line. Never noticed any extraordinary Muslim presence nor felt anything other than safe when I was there.

NUFC, YES.
I watched a million ways to die in the west at my work team movie night.

Is there a less likeable famous person than Seth MacFarlane?
Ah he's alright. Anyone who missed boarding one of the 9/11 planes by minutes and supports gay marriage is okay by me.

After weeks of nothing, I am now running the water tank onto the ground so it doesn't overflow and bust pipes cause it has been non stop the last few days. Go weather. Yay for conservation.

It's a bit like the Tom Logan rule

In (the year of our Lord Jesus Christ) 2015 it shouldn't be enough just to do the basics like supporting gay marriage.

Seeing him play out what was basically his own personal western fantasy was vomitworthy.

I've enjoyed some of his stuff but I can't stand him on screen.

I played in our B grade T20 side but we got knocked out :(

I'm unsure how our As or Cs are going.

Are you playing?

Ah.

I missed the last game because I worked at the Strikers game but I was under the impression it was knockout and we lost.

I'll ask someone at training tomorrow. I should be up there next Tuesday playing or not.

Hope Valley has been a pretty happy hunting ground for you if I remember correctly. Yikes.

Does Hope Valley have guest changerooms yet? Or do you still have to use a beach umbrella?

I could be wrong... I'm only a guest player so not all over it like I'd normally be.

Be funny if Macca plays....

LOL... Played there once... 150 and 5 fa :)

No it's actually pretty good these days! Downstairs under the bar got totally remodelled and is quite nice now.

Yeah I was there for that innings, only watching thankfully. It was pretty dominant.

I haven't heard about a Watto injury, but again I've only trained once since Christmas.
