There's a lot of guff - all you need to know will be on the official site soon I'm sure. I like this takeover a lot for the simple reason that no one, bar those doing the deal, knew anything about it. THAT is how the real world works - none of this leaking snippets rubbish, none of this using people to get fans onside rubbish, none of this logging on a fan's forum rubbish. Perfect, professional and by the sounds of it, probably the thing that could happen to SFC.

LOL at constantly crappy journalism online ... " A member of the family behind the Swiss-based Liebherr Holdings group is thought to be behind the purchase. The bid has not come, as reported, from siblings Isolde and Willi Leibherr, or their Leibherr Group company. "

You mean Sale is Nineteen Canteen?

No they don't. They think it's the day with no direct quotes, not even from Mr Fry and they even caveat their own story by saying "of course there could be last minute complications". I'll only believe it when it's finally done and on the official SFC site, not here, not the Echo.

Yep! "numpty dinlo" - put down of the year!!

I can receive PMs, so if anyone wants to be vetted, PM me and I'll pass your details on ...

Here you go ... Friday 26th June: Chew Lips 16:00 - 16:35 Passion Pit 16:55 - 17:35 Howling Bells 17:55 - 18:40 The Kooks 19:05 - 20:05 The Killers 20:45 - 22:15 As we didn't leave the pub until 6 (midday start and I still managed to dial in to a conference call at 2:30pm!!!!), we only saw the Kooks and Killers, but was still very very good.

Nah, Ben Nevis is first at about 5am on the 18th, then Scafell, then Snowdon, probably finishing up there around 4am on the 19th.

Ahh, no I can't - I'm doing the 3 peaks challenge then. Will probably be starting to climb Snowdon when that starts! Shame, maybe they could move to the weekend after for me as I'm free then!

When?

Mini festival atmosphere as there were a few bands on the Friday and another 2 days of bands - so it was bloody brilliant! The Killers are superb live, will definitely be seeing them again!

I had a bird on my shoulders at the Killers on Friday at Hyde Park ... what's wrong with that? Don't think I'd be too chuffed if you pushed her off ...

Oh well, never mind - see ya.

I echo this, exactly.

Well yes, I think most would, but chances of that happening?? :-(

I seem to be opening myself up to abuse constantly at the moment ... home, work, on here?? I blame my new hair cut.

If Keegan is not Manager (but is say DoF), then Tisdale would do me :-)

Wasn't Mr Dear by any chance was it??

That speed reading looks wrong to me Stu - message me on Facebook.

If you were upgraded from 2 to 10, then that's spot on.

Yes. With a chainsaw in my hand.

I was 4 years old and living in Oliver's Battery Road South at the time!

Not only are people losing their jobs left, right and centre, but those that are keeping their jobs are taking pay CUTS. I know many people who have, in fact, I could list thousands. I've taken a 10% cut to stay doing what I do. I have f**k all sympathy with tube drivers.

Because he's an excellent business man who has built a brand with a superb world-wide reputation that people love to work for. He creates a buzz, gives up considerable time and effort for charity and is great to work for and with. Plus, he's not interested in football. It's not green and it's not advancing technology to create green fuels.

With you on all that as I grew up in the Forest, but I think the point is the needless beating to death of an innocent animal. Not hunting it because it was a pest, but sick individuals picking on an innocent creature and torturing it. No different to the disgusting creatures who killed Jamie Bulger as I said - same mentality.
