  1. December 09, 1968 That article is 41 years old .
  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Benson
  3. They are owned by a lady, "Little" John Mecom sold it to Benson in 1985 FFS.
  4. Rita Benson LeBlanc?
  5. Diageo, who were formed when Guinness merged with Grand Met.
  6. Oh do be quiet.
  7. Sorry mate, Barclay's (just like the rest of the Banks) are not a registered charity and dont go round handing out money to ailing businesses with little hope of return. They are a BIG business, and they got like that by calling in bad debts. Yes, I do feel for the staff at SLH and SFC. A couple of my friends have been in similar situations this past year in their lines of work; but the blame lies squarely with the Board of SLH for allowing the company to get into such a state.
  8. Can I have some of that action?
  9. The man is a ****ing genius!
  10. My mate John used to employ my Dad. John got a loan from Lloyds TSB to pay for some business stuff he needed. Over the years he added to this loan until Lloyds turn around and said that he needed to reduce it by half. John, knowing his business was losing money anyway, tried to pay it back as best he could but he missed out the deadline by about £2000. It was just teh tip of teh iceberg as John hadnt run the business very well at all and had made a fair few bad decisions on managers and staff (too high wages and pay offs). John's company went into administration. The Administrator asked my Dad to work for a few weeks with no pay to see what panned out. My Dad was upset at this, but what should he do? 1) take it out in John who ran his business badly, and by some terrible decisions created the sitiation of administration 2) take it out on the Bank that lent John the money in good faith, and who simply wanted to get the money back Only on this board would people choose (2).
  11. something like sedated, use the letters they give you.
  12. It was bloody. Steve Grant is now singing falsetto.
  13. Psalms, Hymns, Gospel? I dunno... Something-aria?
  14. More likely the money for "bills and invoices" has been ring fenced with not a lot left over, so staff have been asked to wait until the cash flow gets better before getting paid. Been done a million times in a thousand offices up and down the country over the last 18 months I would wager.
  15. Rhonda?
  16. But you are suggesting that the staff should lynch Fry. Its not his fault we are in this mess. And how do you know they were not warned? TBH, they have got to be very odd if they hadnt realised there was a chance of not getting paid this month.
  17. Why shoot the messenger?
  18. Anyone else heart stop of a split second when they saw this posted up here?

    Fish "puns" will be punished by infractions from this point.

  23. But if the players and staff were paid by SLH, its even more of a link between the 2 companies (they work for SFC but get paid by SLH and the two are not intrinsically linked, yeah right!)

    No-one has said that the failure of SLH/SFC has affected Radio Hants. More likely is that they wont have paid their rent for the last few months, which would hurt us.
  25. Agree about the typo, they should have put "League 2" surely?
