    Our NHS (n/G)

    In Germany, you are required by law to choose a heath insurer, and a fixed percentage is then automatically deducted from your salary. You can pick and choose from providers according to the rate they charge and the services they offer, but generally there's not a huge difference between them...

    Clemence's latest comments

    I've come close to fulfilling my own briefs on certain terrible occasions and that's bad enough. I certainly wouldn't want to fulfill my employer's.

    Ifollow

    The clubs don't have to do it all by themselves. Services like iFollow allow them to pool their resources but still provide an individual offer for their own fans. It took a very long while to do so, but now it's a very good service in my opinion.

    Quite apart from that, who's got the time to watch that much football? I watch Gills once or twice a week, and internationals if they're on, and tournament finals, but quite honestly that's enough for me. The trouble is, if you say you're a football fan these days, you're expected to have an...

    Clements Bye

    I saw his interview with Harris and NH was very personable and enthusiastic about the project. They obviously got on very well and I can understand why Matt may have been upset to see him go so shortly afterwards. It's all in the past now, but understandable nonetheless.

    Clements Bye

    While I wholeheartedly appreciate the efforts of the Gills YouTubers and Matt in particular, as well as the Galinsons' willingness to engage with the fans, I do sometimes worry about them getting swayed by listening to those with the most prominent voices on social media. Compared to what we...

    The Official Bradford City Match Thread (Sponsored by Discarded Prophylactics "for all your dead rubber needs")

    I'm beginning to think it comes down to character. A lot of this squad just don't seem to be what I would call Gillingham players - those who might not be technically the best but who would bust a gut and have the confidence to try things on anyway. These are very skilled players who might be...

    Out of nowhere, while doing the washing up

    If you please, it's Lord David Paul Nicholas Dundas, the Lord being an honorific title on account of his dad being the 3rd Marquess of Zetland. Presumably the Paul Nicholas bit is another honorific on account of him being a consummate entertainer. Cracking tune. Back then he was noted for being...

    Brad’s interview

    No, you're getting Hess confused with Hitler there.

    Brad’s interview

    If it is, he'll be pushing trolleys. It's a supermarket now. It's only up the road from me. I'll go in and say hello to him for you if you want.

    Would anyone care to say what interview this is with Brad and where you can hear it?

    I won't have anything said against them either.

    Monday “Did That Really Happen?” Gills Reminiscing/Questions

    Led Zep were alright in their time, I suppose, as a rubbish prototype of the band they could have been: Slade.

    X1 v Barrow?

    Malone could be useful when it comes to Barrow.

    Footballs money tree again.....

    You couldn't restrict what an individual player earns, but you could restrict what a club's overall wage budget is, based on FFP rules and or suchlike, as if that were ever likely to be seriously enforced. Then they could spunk 99% of their money on Lionel Messi or whoever but then have to...

    Connor Wickham

    Any forward signing for Gillingham at the moment needs their head checking, as it seems almost as hazardous as drumming for Spinal Tap.

    Electioneering has started

    The UK will not rejoin, even if it wanted to. Given the trouble that it kicked up all the time it was a member, despite all the special privileges it had, there is no way on earth that the EU would let it back in, other than on the most arm's length terms, as an associate member at best.

    swindon game dilemma

    My advice would be this: go to the game and watch Gills thrash the living daylights out of the Swine. Book in to the Premier Inn and live high on the hog for a whole damn week. Go back to East Kent, lay down in a field and wait until someone finds you. Claim to have been abducted and probed by...
