Which neatly answers the question of why we've collectively done very little to advance any "real" aerospace barriers in the last 40 years or so. FFS, it took c. 65 years from the first powered flight by an aircraft to putting a man on the moon. They didn't worry about the impossibility of it all, they just f'ing went ahead and did it anyway. In the 40 years since, the western world has been sitting on our hands, slowly falling into a pit of introversion, cynicism and self-loathing. Concorde? The X33? How on earth can the proposed STS replacement be an advancement on the Space Shuttle? Today's can't-do attitude must be a gut reflex reaction to the can-do baby boomer generation. End of rant.

There was a program on Sky called My Breasts Could Kill Me. I was most disappointed, it was not what I had in mind at all.

I'm so pis*ed this thread is starting to make sense The admins can let all of us chimps post in this and then the other threads don't get mucked up with sh*t. I can think of one small problem with that though,..

Have we won League 1 yet?

Um, I think the key combination you're all looking for is Alt-F4. Oh and *cough* http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=365698&postcount=403 *cough*

Takeover threads out !

circa £2-3b, or so I've heard. Not too shabby

I voted yes - short term, merely to provide continuity until ML has his exec. team in place. I would have preferred to vote for "It's Markus' club and he can appoint whoever he likes. I will back that decision 100%, though I may not necessarily like it".

I've got a club to support next season. Anything more is a bonus FFS !

The Swiss cross on the Saintsweb banner looks classy too Interesting? side note. The swiss flag is one of only two square national flags.

What's the opposite of FFS? Well what ever it is, take that you opposite of whatever FFS is! I'll hold my hand up as one who was blubbering like a baby when I heard the confirmation. So, what the hell are we supposed to do all day now? Work? Pfffffftttt.

Me! Er, me again! I always (unfairly) picture him talking like he posts. 'Teh Saints fans think...'

So when Sky phone them and ask "What do Saints fans think about x" they should reply "Sorry, I am not representative of the fans. I suggest you ask each of them what they think - here are all of their phone numbers" ? I've never understood the antagonism aimed at fans talking about Saints on the telly. It's not like the TV is the font of all truth and accuracy is it...

Fry - Takeover is almost complete. Funds being transferred.

It will surely be t/t, CHAPS is UK Interbank innit. The biggest Postal Order you can get is now £250. So, if the printer machine is broken and they are having to write out c. 50,000 Postal Orders by hand it could take some time. The poor chap behind the counter will have a bit of cramp after that -
To answer the OP - I think there was a question in there somewhere - "When the time is right" is when we'll be taken over Buy a football club and get a free poor-quality BBQ? Or even worse, it could've been Luncheon Vouchers...

Even if the contract is signed, the chap can still walk away. It's just a matter of how much it hits him in the pocket... But I can't be arsed to worry any more. It will happen. Please. FFS -
Ha, brilliant! http://www.click4clinic.com/modules.php?name=Drugs&file=ShowDrug&id=5442 'Seek medical assistance if suffering? an erection for more than 4 hours after taking sildenafil - this may cause damage to the penis' Best move swiftly on, lest I get banned :-\"

Markus Liebherr's MALI group seem to be quite heavily involved in Common Rail Diesel technology, including holding some patents relating to the same. He's an engineer by trade :cool: LOL, does it give you a 48-hour extension ? (More likely it gives you the 48-hour sh*ts and a new found desire to avoid fake medicine )

Oh great. So what the hell am I going to do with the 50,000 "Pinnacle: Saviour of the Saints" ashtrays now? -
Can't say I agree with this. In a previous working life I had a job that involved a lot of dealings with Insolvency Practitioners. They have to be the most ridiculous old-boy one-hand-washes-the-other bunch of malcontents that I've ever had the mis-pleasure to deal with. You, as creditors, can't go elsewhere! Take this theoretical case of Mr Joe Punter: Assets: £10,000 Debts: £50,000 An IVA is proposed - the creditors (one of which would have been me...) receive a proposal. You'd think the IP would take perhaps a couple of hundred quid and then pay out the rest out pro-rata wouldn't you? Do they f*ck! This was a typical case (and no doubt fits within the Department for Trade and Industry remuneration guidelines): Assets: £10,000 Liabilities: £50,000 Gross dividend: 20p in the £ IP Fees : £8,500 Net Dividend: 3p in the £ These chumps rely on a quorum passing the proposal without negotiation. So when it goes to some overworked, under-appreciated Charlies at Big Bank plc, they don't even bother to question it and the greedy gits get away with it. However, when we had a large %'age of the debt, we'd damn well negotiate it back to something sensible (rarely below £1,500 in fees though). Bear in mind that for £1,500 they are entering some figures into a standard template, receiving one cheque and then sending out a couple of cheques. They'd quote partner fee rates yet it will be some junior clerk actually doing the work. When the IVA involved instalments they were even worse. They can get nasty if you try to cut their fees too. Don't like the fees - go elsewhere? Ha! Fat chance, they all do it. So, you'd think I have a chip on my shoulder the size of Mount Everest about IPs and you'd probably be right; but only because I've seen first hand amounts to a cartel. Now, I was of the opinion that a corporate administrator != an insolvency practitioner. From what I've read on here and heard from some friends of late, that opinion is fast changing...

LOL, a forum discussing big craney things: http://forums.dhsdiecast.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=958524 Notice everybody wading in to defend Leibherr "The hooking eyes on the boom sections, head and butt are wonderful! Liebherr does everything wonderful... Even their calenders are top notch!"

Ahh, that takes me back. The last time I had a 48 hour extension, I was worried it was going to snap... Oh, er, best not go there Have we been neutralised yet?

Dan Williams was a floor trader at Barings for the 3 months leading up to their collapse - true story.
