  1. The two major creditors by far, ( AFAIK ), are Barclays and AVIVA ( aka Norwich Union ). The first pulled the plug on Saints and precipitated this whole fiasco, so f$$$ them ! The second are part of the financial meltdown in the housing market, and have far greater losses to worry about in the grand scheme of things. The area where "natural justice" really comes in is with the innocent parties who have lost their jobs, and the small value creditors who would never have got anything from the administration process, as Rupert's little empire has come crashing down. Surely the simplest thing for the FL is to allow the appeal - after all, they are the ones who would determiine the outcome.
  2. If it gets the sport away from Bernie and Max I'm all for it.
  3. South Korea and Japan have both qualified & both hold quite deep grudges with NK, and don't forget in 1966 they beat Italy 1-0, so presumably the Azzurri would be looking for revenge .
  4. Not sure about banks, but Barclaycard are really good about this; A couple of years ago I got my statement and saw several transactions around Preston for fuel at ASDA pay-at-pump stations, so I rang them up and said it was not me. They asked if somebody else had borrowed my card, to which I pointed out that on the two days in question I was in Helsinki, Finland, using the self same card to pay a hotel bill and purchase duty free at the airport. All the money was credited back once I had sent them a copy of the statement with the dodgy transactions highlighted.
  5. It's also good news that the Saints will have a 'Holy' goalie.
  6. Stanley, what would the Tories have done when the banking system threatened to crash & burn ?
  7. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8102432.stm How can a firm that employs 45 people and makes 18 cars a year buy out a GM subsidiary ? Imagine what they could do if it was the AERO division rather than the cars
  8. I pay people to do my publicity for me, it keeps me out of the public gaze.

    Subbuteo

    Falco Subbuteo = the Hobby, a small falcon, and 'Hobby' was the original name the creator tried to trademark for his table top football game. He failed, so used his ornithological knowledge to change the name to a Latin substition. Also, made famous by the Undertones in 'My Perfect Cousin', and Half Man Half Biscuit in 'All I Want For Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit'.
  10. Are there any nightclubs in Plymouth that might leave their cloakrooms unattended ?
  11. The final drama for Simon in the 125cc put the icing on the cake, when he thought he'd fought back up to 3rd and turned up in parc fermee, only to have to walk away in a huff and have his bike removed after the photo finish was reviewed. and put him back to 4th.
  12. 'Reality is a condition brought about by a lack of alcohol'.
  13. Which suggests that what you really need to know is 'What was the Question?'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/guide/answer.shtml
  14. The Devil is greater than nothing. Nothing is greater than God. Therefore, the Devil is greater than God.
  15. "You say it best, when you say nothing at all" "Nothing really matters, anyone can see. Nothing really matters. Nothing really matters to me"
  16. Alternatively, download FLV-EXTRACT. If you use Internet Explorer you can save the YouTube videos to your PC, then 'drag and drop' them into this utility. The only problem is that the more modern YouTube vids come out as AAC ( iTunes compatible, but should also work on modern MP3 players ) rather than MP3 native.
  17. 90 minutes driving each way, and allowing for all the 'ups and downs' about 16 and a 1/2 miles ( equivalent ) of walking.
  18. Were there any from the Badger Brewery ?
  19. Well, so far he has most certainly failed on both counts
  20. Went out at 08:00 this morning for a loooong walk in the Lake District, and got back at 18:00. Only knew the result because I turned off the CD player in my car as I parked up, and caught the end of the 6:00 pm news on Radio 4.
  21. At this precise moment I am listening to "Whisky in the Jar" by Metallica :smt035:supz::cool:
  22. I can honestly say he is so sh1t that he will never play for Saints :cool:
  23. A well presented argument
