No, that award belongs to Oceansize or The Cardiacs

Because an income and expenditure statement is only part of the story What any real business man would want to see is the balance sheet - as clearly there are some significant opening creditors and it is the movements in these that is driving the changes in the cash balances After that, a weekly or possibly even daily cash flow to see whether the pinch points are - I would imagine that these occur in the lean periods before parachute payments and during the summer season Oh - and I wonder how much of the cash sits in various escrow accounts and is unavailable to the Trust for day to day needs

I believe that you need to vote for two, a first and a second place I will be voting and to that end, I have read the manifesto of all six candidates The six hampshire candidates are here http://www.choosemypcc.org.uk/candidates/stephen-michael-west/

Need the sun to raise yet presuamably in the next hour or so

Long way from commercial production but seems like the best idea would be to site this either beside a hydro plant or in the depths of the Sahara desert and use solar power for generation of the necessary electric power

Shame Rickie was not on fire as we should have put it away prior to half time

Can we slap anyone raising stupid questions again Can I have a poll

This looks like a standoff, but clearly someone needs to do something different otherwise the time served will just grow as will the costs

I would love to know where to buy one I always wore double brested and then was out of suits for a few years (business casual dress) and now I am looking for a new suit, cannot find double brested anywhere Personally, double brested suits me better, being "bigger boned"

I have never, nor would I vote lib Dem However, surely Nick Clegg should have studied history and realised that coalitions are nearly always fatal to the junior partner As so it is proving

pap - this has the potential to be an interesting debate. Sadly my time to give full replies is really limited today However, in order to do it justice, we do need to deal in facts, and also think about unintended consequences The fact remains - that there are not nearly so many rich people out there as people imagine, and even if the HMRC took 100% of their income, it would not be enough to plug the gap in the govt coffers. Tax needs a broad base and needs to be on things that are hard to avoid - hence VAT at 20% and high taxes on fuel, booze and fags Try this for an idea Personal allowance at £10,000 Flat tax of 30% on all income above that level, regardless of earned, investment or capital gains No exemptions, reliefs, allowances, special cases VAT on everything at 10% No exemptions, reliefs, allowances, special cases and Every single person in the country has their annual income and tax return published on line

You are entitled to your own opinions But you are not entitled to your own facts

The problems with this are huge Just one extreme example - I have determined that your 1976 Saints shirt is worth £1m Now pay tax of 20% on it But you don't have the income to do so, so you are forced to sell it Of course that would happen with loads of assets, and in most cases the best way to determine the price is to sell it, and capital gains tax applies then anyway

Bad idea Politicians should speak to technicians in the tax department about what happens in these circumstances Last time the rate when up to 50%, rich people brought forward income so it was taxed at a lower rate and when there is an announcement of a drop coming they delay income. Those of you who have wealthy bosses should know that beyond a regular payment to pay the bills, business owners have some flexibility as to when they take income and can delay it until the tax circumstances are better. In some cases, they will delay for years so it is realised as capital gains, rather than as income It is not all about people moving to foreign countries

I was aware that it was common in the US The continuing reason is penile identity as it better for sons' self esteem to look the same as their fathers

Looks tall too, no harm in that

Shocking And apparently, he shot a baby at point blank range

Whilst I will accept that there is life on other planets out there The chance that is has visited earth is impossible. Space is simply too big

I was in Manchester on Saturday night for an Adrenaline Mob gig I was wondering whey there were hundreds of people wearing wellie boots I assume that Heaton park was slightly muddy?
