Great! I'm not gonna go down there right now and not chuckle when I don't look in it before I don't buy it.

Chicken, I can't begin to think what Lamppost Tikka Masalla would taste like. Apart from dog wee.

Ave it!

Might this thread might be a good time to reacquaint ourselves with the F5 button?

I can actually envisage Leon giving him a good smack in the mouth. Red cheeks, red lips and a visit to the hospital to get his teeth removed from up his arsek no questions I'll tell no lies.

My thoughts exactly, then we'll see the sailor boy whinge because he's got two mortgages to pay. Merry Christmas DD, you miserable old curmudgeon :smt012

I think that whoever proposes to take over has to have a plan (obviously?) to propose a CVA? Which sees creditors get a 'dividend' on their debt? So people like HMRC get a good wedge to shut up and accept and then 'lesser; creditors have little choice in accepting the proposal. I think it's the CVA which caused Leeds extra problems with the Taxman. A CVA lets the company continue to trade, under certain conditions, but with limits on what they can actually do (transfers in) until the CVA is satisfied and they are discharged. At this point the club then gets it's bond back from the league. That's my simplistic take on it.

Positive! McAllister positive? God help us if you get negative!

I'm not even giving them the holes from tap washers.

St. L in being out pedanted shock!

It's all a matter of perspective which will differ from person to person. You made me laugh WSS, but God forbid the likes of Jade goody becoming the uber valued class. Although footballers seem to be already part of that scenario! I would place the services high in value, from Armed forces through to Nurses, Police etc. People in places of finance also have their standing, although in recent months we have seen where greed (an emotion we are all capable of) in that quarter can lead us. So maybe more regulation, properly, by the Government in that particular area. How do you value people who work in Factories though? Producing things, food included, which not only keep the country healthy and running but also bring in money via export? What about the people who keep this country clean (no comments please about litter etc because it is the public who cause that) by emptying bins, cleaning streets, processing our waste at the sewage farm? Then we have those who genuinely cannot work, we cannot, I certainly would not, place a low value on them because they are often in a situation not of their own making. Which leads, finally, to those who will not work ? We'll all, most certainly, have common ground in our thoughts on those! To anybody whose chosen line of work I have omitted, I apologise and do value your input into society!

He's not a prat. He has certain ideals and is, shall I call it, naive? I don't think for one moment that he fully appreciated what he was dealing with in undertaking this contract at Saints. Bless him.

In total agreement with both posts which totally articulate my thoughts and feelings on the subject. :yawinkle: Wish I could put my points across like this.

What the feck was that all about?

Where did I say it was wrong for people to own their own homes? People were encouraged to own their own homes by the action of selling them at a discount. The cynic in me has always thought that it was a crumb from the table for the working man. So that when he was neatly manacled with a mortgage he would 'be a good boy' and do just what the bosses wanted with regard to wages and conditions. It's the culture of avarice which, by some strange miracle, really burgeoned during the Thatcher years that has led over the ensuing years to people getting what they wanted by any means whatsoever (if it suited them). And no Government has really acted to stem that tide. No I do not want a communist state, any more than a right wing one!

Keep hoping mate because all else is gone.

That is all part of the malaise. These big profits were themselves either wisely reinvested into bigger, better, newer properties or, sadly, taken as remortgages for the new car, boat, holiday home etc. Where, I ask again, have I said that the Labour Government are blameless? If anything I stated that they aped the Tory mantra.

When we have lost all three and those around us have pulled maybe a couple of points from the hat then the perspective will be obvious.

I blame the Finchley ***** because she started the sell off of Council Properties which let the financial institutions run rampant in giving out mortgages and loans, often, in dubious circumstances which led to people, who had bought the dream, over committing themselves financially. Despite being the party of Law and Order they managed to somehow constrain the powers of the police so that all they effectively seem to do is shuffle paper, tick boxes on forms and persecute the easy targets (motorists). So while our, still magnificent, police force act as uniformed secretaries with ever increasing mountains of paperwork those who wish to break the law are left, relatively, unscathed to do whatever to whosoever they choose. The wholesale desecration of British Industry by selling off to the biggest bidder (non UK companies) which left the workforces totally at the whim of cost cutting exercises when they wanted to save money. Deregulation which led to competition but led to cost cutting on maintaining infrastructures so that the bus and train fleets were running on a shoestring and dangerous practices. Those same large foreign companies charging British people more for their energy than citizens of their home countries. Yes, she was the thin end of the wedge in my opinion so I do hold her responsible. I have not said that this Labour Government is not to blame. They have become just as bad. *** Error WSS, Please re-read***

Again, I can't argue your point. I just can't knowingly put a cross for the party that spawned a woman who took school milk from the kids, went to war to gain popularity (I know, who said Blair didn't!) and herself set in motion a culture of greed and self self self which sees this once great nation as it is today. The banks, businesses and financial institutions are now reaping the crop from the seeds she sowed, and who is paying for those seeds? The Great British Public. Thanks a lot Baroness Barmy (cue the sailor's defense of his queen). And sadly Labour seem to continue to ape that party. Maybe I should spoil my paper next time?
