Simples. http://www.comparethemeerkat.com/ http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/386/meer.png [/url] ...........who say advertising doesn't work? Alternatively try www.confused.com I find switching insurers each year saves ££££££££££'s.

FYI.......found the fuel angel. Some guy on Dragon's Den pitched it and he got £250k worth of investment..... http://www.misfuellingprevention.co.uk/dragonsden.asp

I based the original amount on 46 games, but of course there are only 23 at home - sorry, my mistake. Here are the actual prices http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/MatchdayHospitality/0,,10280~1656557,00.html But the actual cost is £104 per person +VAT = £119.60 per seat per game (based on 10 people sharing across the season) There would be 230 seats to sell. Would 230 people stump up £120 each? Not sure myself, although I would be up for it.

The box could be sold like timeshare. The SWF box is divided into slots (perhaps based on seats per game). We can work out a cost per seat per game and that is a unit price. Say the box is £20,000 and there are 10 seats across 23 games, the cost per unit would be £86.96. You could then buy any multiple of units at a cost of £86.96 each. For the purposes of balance, the box would have to be located between Leon & Lawries and the Ex Directory boxes. Can you imagine that? Well worth £86.96 a go IMO (with all food and drink included). Oh, and everyone should have to wear a name badge with their Forum name on it. Actually, just checked and it is £23,920 +VAT (based on £104 pp +VAT x 23 games)

I suppose the Council could always use the funds they were going to use to buy SMS.

Or a charity auction.....

Another one of those Hitler in the bunker films, not sure it has been posted before, but it is quite funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELyTBXzfQJ8

You could say McMenemy is in a similar vein. Too many posters on here ignore the past and slag him off for things in recent years. It should read, "a McMenemy is for life,....." don't you think?

Yes, we have been lucky with our new owner. However, people were suggesting only 9 months ago that SLH could be bought for £25m-£30m. Therefore, do you not think that the inevitable and significant price reduction (50%+) also had something to do with attracting our new owner? If so, did not relegation and administration contribute to this price reduction? Don't get me wrong, I am not slating Markus at all, just saying that 50% off with double club card points makes the 'investment' somewhat more attractive. This guy did not become a billionaire for failing to spot a good opportunity. So yes we were lucky to find Markus, but would he have invested at the £25m-£30m price point????? Who Knows??? Actually, who cares???? COYRs

Like you've never been guilty of that... A prejudice is an implicitly held belief, often about a group of people.... so you've never had an implicitly held belief about a certain group of people, whether that be based on age, class or what car they drive? or would he make a cheap jibe about a dying child? You're not whiter than white, so spare us the sanctimonious BS. IF (and that's a big IF) you've had problems, and you've learned a lot, then why the personal attacks on forum posters? Surely you have more important things to be focusing on? Life's too short (just ask the parents of that now deceased child)

Oh well we never got to sing this.....(to the tune of she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes) We've got Bradley Wright Philips playing up front We got rid of nathan dyer, the useless munt When they go out on the la-ash They'll steal your phone and cash Cos there a pair of ****ing useless theiving ****s

Oh sorry you said indicate.

Just been on to NC's favourite forum. http://forums.e60.net/lofiversion/index.php/t78985.html Seems as though Swannymere could be right

I would guess it is NC peddling as fast as he can behind you on his folding shopping bike. The hissing is probably just a fit of Jealousy. On a serious note, the hissing might be due to a vacuum leak???? You could try signing up and posting on here: http://audiforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8

Another informed automotive opinion from Ninetenvy Cantbeseen on the motoring forum. Your input and contribution to this part of the forum is nearly as valuable as your contribution to the main board. Do you actually drive a car or do you have one of them James Mayesque foldaway shopping bikes? ....it would certainly explain a thing or two. To bring this back on topic, at least you can't put the wrong type of fuel into a shopping bike.

Sunday Times? Don't lie, you read the Daily Mail. Take the headlines and form an opinion without deciding for yourself and looking at the facts. As it happens, Clarkson has bought a Z1 and Z4 for his wife and he owned an M3 CSL for some time. He was also filmed drinking at the wheel of a car (during the Polar episode) with your bum chum James May - hardly responsible journalism. Anyway, if you buy a car purely and simply on the basis of what other people will think of you, then you are sad in the extreme and will always be chasing a dream that you will never get. I posted details of my car as I ****ed up and wanted advice from those out there that know more about cars than I do or have had a simlar experience - FWIW I repsect Ponty's opinion and he made the call for Fuel evacuation. So, to set the record straight, here is my history of BMW ownership which I am more than happy to share, and it has nothing to do with your stereotyping. My first BM was a bog standard 520 with 130k miles on the clock. At the time I was commuting to London and couldn't afford a new car. I covered 54k miles in two years and I never serviced it and it just kept going. I bought it for £3500 and sold it for £2800. 54k miles on an old car with no bills for a total cost of £700. Total cost of ownership was 1.2 pence per mile. Having owned Fiats, Peugeots, Citroens and Vauxhalls previously, I was seriously impressed as all the aforementioned cars cost me far far more. It did the job. As a high mileage driver, my next car was naturally a 5 series, as from my own personal experience, it could take the punishment. It was a 3 year old 528 which had 20k miles on it. That was in 2001 and I kept that car until January this year. It finally gave up the ghost with 190k miles on it, so I managed to get 170k miles out of that car over 8 years. Again, before it died, it did the job. The trade in value was £500 due to mileage and condition, so I was driving around in what you could call an old banger. Hardly your typical BMW driver. Up to this point, I only used BMW dealer servicing between 2001 and 2005 to keep the warranty and yes it is excessive and a rip off. That is why I took it out of dealer servicing up to 2009. In January, having had 11+ years of good value motoring, guess what my next car was? Yep, you guessed it - another 5 series. At the time I did consider other cars, but if you had such a good experience with something, why change it? If you're interested, this 2 year old 5 series cost £16500 for a car that retailed at £38,000 in 2006 - to me that represented incredible value for money. This car will be run for 8-10 years in order to get the best value out of it (assuming I dont keep putting petrol in it). So there you have it. I would describe myself as a fan of the 5 series rather than a fan of BMW per se. So for me, it is nothing to do with aspiring to certain brand values or thinking I am this, that or the other. It is purely based on my personal experiences which have been excellent. I have covered 234k miles in various 5 series over the last 11 years in comfort and at a cost which is probably a lot lower than many other marques. Looking for good value motoring, hardly a stereotypical BMW driver. You should try one - buy it second hand (as I always do) and keep it for a few years. You really would be surprised. There you go, I've contributed to the motoring forum with my driving experiences, some may be interested, agree or disagree. You should try contributing some time and you might get a modicum of respect. How about we debate the merits of your drive? It is the motoring section after all. As for your scrappage comments, scapping any classic car is sacrelidge in my opinion and goes to prove you really don't give a flying **** about cars or motoring, which does beg the question, what the **** are you doing on here? As for the plane, you started with the personal attacks and I know Rupert going grates you so much inside. It was nothing to do with bragging (as it was Offix paid for it), I just wanted you to know that I did what I could (however small in the scheme of things) to contribute to your masters downfall - I even changed my avatar for your benefit. As self proclaimed leader of the luvvies, that really ****es you off. Looking at you and your lot on the main board chomping on sour grapes almost gives me as much pleasure as knowing that Saints now have a successful billionaire owner.

Good shout. I had you down as a Socialist Worker reader For me, The Times if I am travelling, timesonline in the mornings (before I pop on here) and the Sunday Times (on sundays obviously)

Pearson = Young Pearson = Ambitious Pearson = Proven success in League 1 Pearson = Currently employed ... and your man fired him. Not than I am suggesting that we go for him now, but you and "your lot" were only too happy to see the back of him. Now you want a carbon copy....you couldn't make it up.

Indeed, don't blame the administrators, blame the incompetent business owners.........

You really have a jealousy problem, don't you? Is that why you backed the loser Lowe? Did you not feel threatened by his clear lack of business success and insufficient wealth? ...but I am right though, Rupert-Jockey .... except I am a little way off 40 yet....middle 30's rather than middle class. Anyway, I mentioned the age, make and model as it may have been relevant to the responses received. As it happens, it does make a hell of a difference - certainly with age. The make and model is also relevant. When did you last phone any dealer / garage and book a service / ask for advice without them asking make, model and age.? You really should get off the motoring forum as you have very little to add. In fact, why stop at the motoring forum?

I don't know what car you drive, but most modern cars have a mesh to prevent the syphoning of petrol. Audi's aren't quite there yet (look nice, but still a bit tinny); I'm too young to drive a Merc; Bentley's and Rollers are too austentacious, I don't do French (OK, I did when I was a teen), I don't do Jap (no style or class), I don't do Swedish (poor German imitations), I don't do Spanish (who would), Ford & Vauxhall (too run of the mill). I do Italian, but not in the wet, so for me the BMW works as a daily hack, work horse, my white collar van if you like. The 5 series is pretty much a standard Exec saloon - the one that all the others try to beat - the Ford Transit of the boardroom. Nothing special, understated, drives well (I like driving), just does the job and I don't need it for a penis extension (I've got far better cars in my collection to do that). So come on then NC, what do you drive? A Yaris???? I might well do that. I cetainly wouldn't ask your bum chum James May as he can't even take one of his own jokes. Anyway, what's your problem? Are you a bit ****ed that I helped fly a plane over St Mary's which added to the demise of your Lord and Master? Now that the dust has settled, isn't it great to be owned by a really successful businessman who has a bit of cash, unlike the failure of a bean counter that buried our club?

Well the small creditors would have got next to **** all anyway, as they always do. In every case I have experienced, you are extremely lucky if you get anywhere near 10p in the £. 1p in the £ is still pretty good these days. A good lesson learned in my early days was that you don't extend more credit than you can afford to lose. You also accrue for bad debt so that when it does happen, you can absorb it with relative ease. To be fair, post relegation and looking at the finances of SLH over the last couple of years, they would have been on prepayment terms with me or I would have walked away. "A sale aint made until the money's in the bank", my old man used to say. Having said this, the club can make amends and help those that have lost money by renewing contracts of supply and staying loyal to the local creditors who have lost out. Over time, they will make back their losses and if the club goes on to be more successful (and with our new backer that would seem to be odds on), then the small creditors may even make more out of the club than they would have done if SLH had not gone into administration.

Indeed, there is a risk of death by boredom.

I know where you are coming from especially with older diesel cars, but on modern diesels, they have very high pressure fuel pumps (16,000 PSI) and apparently the petrol screws the seals. A new diesel fuel pump on a BM is in the region of £2,500 +VAT!!!!! It could be just scaremongering as it is a nice little earer for the automotive industry, but with the downside costs being so high, I feel strangely OK about losing £200.
