Hey Phil... As I work for M u b a d a l a now, do you want me to ask if they've got any spare cash knocking around?? I mean, a 100% stake in Saints can't be any more than a 5% stake in Ferrari???

 

You had to ASK!!!!!

 

That's it then - you're getting the first round at Goodfellas on Saturday!

Working on the logistics right now. Full details on weekend fred I expect!

 

And you've been here long enough to know the locals don't work on Fridays. If it comes out of this part of the world, Sunday will be the new Friday

 

(YES got that one in again!) :supz:

I had not considered a tomato based sauce!

 

Last week there was a guy at Eastleigh Market, he was selling all sorts of spicy condiments and he has a retail outlet in Lyndhurst. I tried his 'Devil's Blood' sauce which is chilli based. You won't need a lot of it he said. Well, I'm a fair connoisseur of chilli so I warily tried it. Booom! It was lovely and I knew so because I immediately started the hiccups (a well known reaction to chilli) so I asked what was in it.

 

'Double concentrate Naga' he replied.

 

I declined his offer of an 80ml bottle because £6.95 was a bit steep!

 

Naga would have done it! Did you know the Dorset Naga (just found a link) was recorded as a record breaker?) Check out the Times article...(if you're into chillis)

You wanna try Jules and Sharpie 'Hot Pepper Jelly' - HMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

 

Bit steep at £5+ a jar but amazingly addictive and my favourite chilli based condiment at the mo (The Chilli shop in Lyndhurst stock it - love that place!!)

Sorry to go off track a little but all these transfer rumours are much like chilli eaters - causing people to blow hot air!

If it is on the Rate your Weekend fred, that'll be a bit late :confused:

 

Come out and suffer with us, you know you want to ;)

 

Re the Friday bit ... a black president of America, Saints coming back from being 2 down .... anything could happen you know :D

OK I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you......:smt071

 

No I actually plan on posting my whereabouts just for you onto the weekend fred sponsored by M27 road signs or whatever.

 

And anyway if it's bad (again) as the lass will be there I can always pop upstairs and get a room for the second half....:smt077

 

And as for Kylie - well am slowly getting there, my mate does have a limited number of access ALL area passes available for the gig at extortionate rates..... Still think there's more chance of your date than a takeover...

I think with Kylie it is access all areas with her anytime

I found 2000 rupee in my pocket the other day, but I've never been further east than Greece.

 

I'm happy to put it in the pot though if it will help generate an "Asian group interested in Saint's" rumour.

 

2000 rupee = 1 euro lol

IMO this rumoured Far Eastern consortium sounds as if it might come from the Isle Of Wight rather than Asia, ths being a way of subterfuge. :p Unfortunately, I am not a member of this group and not in any way ITK. However, I can see this thread going on until Christmas and thought I would send you all my greetings early.;);):)

Non-denial denial.

 

What exactly do you know?

 

Admittedly it would be novel, because usually money only flows one way vis-a-vis IOW.

Anyone else think that the forum has gone a bit stale?

 

Possibly the calm before the storm. The credit crunch makes any takeover rumour laughable. So player sales or administration by January is my bet for the next good old fashioned row on here, starting as soon as the transfer window opens.

Ultimately cynicism is self defeating. When every thread gets turned into an "anti-Lowe" diatribe, and every action or non-action by the club is micro-analysed for evidence of conspiracy all that remains are those who are sustained by and feed off such negativity.....or those who like a good arguement........or those who don't take it too seriously ;-)

Pretty much covers all angles, do you compose the small print on insurance policies by any chance?

Don't think so. We need more cynicism, more argument, more provocativeness, more conspiracy theories. (and dare I say, the Beast needs to be let out of his cage to rant uncontrollably against our folly)

 

Otherwise this site will descend into a smiley-faced southern branch of the Moonies.

I actually did think of the Beast when I read the post by FAZ, I almost asked if they were twins!

True, except I can't see Sundance ever resorting to an emoticon (about the only thing we've ever agreed on).

 

But the case for more cynicism seems unarguable. Look what happened with the last 'takeover' in the summer. Who could have imagined - aside from SOS, of course! - that Wilde, after all he's said and done, would ally himself with Lowe? Not even the most cynical of those on here foresaw that.

You're right, I've covered three angles of the triangle. What we're missing is the whole centre ground. Occasional posters who have a point to make, but don't want to be labled as a lovvie or a hater or a gibbering fool. We just end up with polarised views, and no rational understanding or reasoned debate. A slanging match. Ultimately tedious, as we allready know who is going to pop up and make a contribution on one side or the other, so it does become stale.

 

Charming as SB is, or that guy with all the dots...................., you don't have to be in one camp or the other. We are all individuals.

You're right in what you say about us being individuals but it's very difficult to debate with someone when they tend to patronise and treat you with disdain from the off. Unfortunately the Beast manages to do this with alarming regularity, which totally distracts from the possibility that he has valid points to make.
