This is pretty interesting and puts the situation in a different light. So Stock replied to me and other people about his Saints intentions. He's obiovusly fairly relaxed about the whole thing if we know he has told at least two strangers about it on Facebook. As I said, he wasn't happy about us posting about it on the Donny Forum though, I think he thought that was a bit nasty. So let's avoid any of that sort of behaviour and could cause trouble amongst his current team mates and fans. From my communication with him, i genuinely beleive he wants to be able to play for Saints but I gather that he does not wish to burn his bridges with donny as he doesn't know whether or not the move will come off.

Is this called fraud?

Right ... this is getting a little silly now. What on earth is the point of deciding that the info is too sensitive for broadcast and deleting the actual thread (which is fine in itself, don't get me wrong), but then allowing a new thread which makes it quite clear what was said in the first place??!!?!? There should be a clear moderating position on this and at the moment it appears that there's no clear concensus about what should / shouldn't be talked about. The info itself (the nature of which I shan't go into now that it's been decided not to publish it further) was online for less than 10mins before it was mutually decided that it should be removed. In contrast, this thread which goes over the situation in great detail, has been here all day. Ask yourselves, how many people saw the original post in comparison to how many people have learnt about the situation by reading this thread today?!?!?! Finally, I'm disappointed by the way in which the info appeared on the Donny Fans' Forum within minutes of it appearing here. I thought sharing the original info with fellow Saints fans was in the spirit of the forum, but taunting Doncaster fans with it is another thing entirely and puts Stock in a difficult position. I have heard from Stock today and discussed the situation and things are ok. I would not advise anybody to try and contact him about the situation. Things are ok, but pushing at the situation further and further could make things take a turn for the worst in my opinion. The images are no longer online unless they have been saved by others and duplicated. In the spirit of the decisions made here, I would suggest that people refrain from reposting any copies of the info until the transfer situation has been clarified. I'm not going to engage in any further debate about it, I have nothing to prove about the rumours and, in my opinion, all talk of the situation should now be banned, at least until the signing has or has not occurred. Fingers crossed for good news this week.

Let's just say, we're expecting some news this week and leave it at that.

You can trust (some of) us. Remember kids .... the mods won't be angry, just very disappointed.

I wonder what the Donny forums have to say about it?

That picture is clearly fake anyway becuase if you look closely you'll see there's a tab referring to page 6 of a thread about Brian Stock on TSW, and everybody knows there is no thread about Brian Stock on TSW.

matthew! Don't wind up the mods... it's their forum and their rules etc!

shhhhhhh

Did he produce Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". I love that song ... it's an awesome backdrop to the scene featuring it in Pulp Fiction.

Do they do CRB checks?

FWIW, I'd rather have a go with Jayne Wisener who plays Lauren...

Certainly, I'd run a mile from any woman who addressed me using an interent pseudonym. She might have seen my failed attempts at sarcasm on here for instance.

I'm not sure the Old Bill would see it like that, but it's good to see people getting involved in politics, no matter how small!

Well, the Tesco call charges are 20p / min and texts are 10p each. However, you do get half price calls and texts to your 5 favourite numbers, so that'a 10p/min and 5p/text. For the sake of argument, let's stick with the standard prices and assume that our £60 monthly credit is going to be split evenply between calls and texts. We therefore have £30 to spend on calls and £30 to be spent on texts. If my calculations are correct, that would work out to 150mins of calls and 300 texts. So you'd get a fair bit less to play with but you've only spent £330 as opposed to £449 on the handset, so you've saved £119 up front. Over the 12 months, that £119 is equivalent to an extra £9.91 per month so you're certainly paying for the extra minutes. My advice is to make sure you use them, otherwise they will have been expensive! ;-)

Sounds exciting, but a little bit Dr Who for my liking.

There's a billboard with David Cameron's ugly mug on it at the junction of Shirley Road and Waterloo Road. Somebody has painted over his pupils with white paint to make him look odd, as well as painting "*****" and "vote lib" on his shoulders. I lol'd.

So it will do some good then. As I said, nobody here thinks it full proof, but you tried to state it will do nothing to improve safety. What's your alternative?

looks a little common to me but each to their own.

Any particular reason for choosing the O2 route as opposed the Tesco one? I guess you decided you wanted the extra minutes?

For teachers I guess it's not really an issue. A teacher charged with child related offences is hardly going to be able to keep it under wraps. I don't know how volunteer organisations like the Scouts etc work so can't comment on them. There's something to be said for holding more info about us though I guess.

Nobody is putting their entire trust in the system; if you read the thread you'll see there's much scepticism about the current system. However, to say that it does not increase safety at all is just plain wrong.

RIght, but the CRB isn't about screening parents, it's about screening people who work with children and that's what this conversation was about. Talking about parents who abuse children is a separate issue. Checking to see if somebody is a convicted paedophile before employing them to work with children, surely reduces the chances of paedophiles working with children.

ps ponty ... the thread title should have had the word "cancelled" in it but I arsed it up. Could you alter it please?

I'm sure they'll find some mischief to get up to instead.
