Dude, it really MUST be time that you repatriate Mrs EoA from her Plaster Cast. Mind you, with Future Mrs D_P away for 10 days of work, & me being Home Alone until my Youngest hits town Wednesday Night I can see some positives in this concept - it may actually not be such a bad idea.

Whereas our Budgie has managed to retrain himself for a marvellous career as a karaoke singer on Friday Nights, eating Tex-Mex and keeping a watchful eye on the Filipinas circling his dinner table. On the subject of Birds, and analogies and poopey, this is starting to look like it could be their Norwegian Blue season.

Oh. Did someone mention Budget? And what was that other word? Oh yes, Constraints. No, surely not. Especially after the lesson the troll gave us in how to set expansive budgets. Well, there was a surprise, the Russians had a budget for their project. Who'd have ever thought that eh?

OK game is on TV across Europe France (I guess) Norway Sweden Denmark & Poland plus one I haven't recognised http://liveonsat.com/LJ_foot_b_english.php Not here of course (mind you their web site shows no tv at all this weekend) I am marooned alone for the weekend but looks like some super stream finders could get us a foreign language stream

Still, after recent posts, seems the troll was right. With the new owners on board poopey are now flush...... Thanks to their new owners sorting out the bogs

Problem is that this is not actually about WAGES that is way too simplistic a term. Lazy Journalism is to blame. Their basic WAGES are not ludicrously excessive, it is the vehicle that is used to pay them OTHER earnings. A stock option is not a wage.

OK listening earlier to the debate on Sky, they had an American guy who explained. (Very Well I thought) Along the lines of It is not all Directors, it is mainly those in biggest FTSE companies. Their "pay" is linked to Stock Market Performance as they have Shares, Options on Shares and other Share related metrics on bonuses. Their pay is NOT actually linked to how that company performs INTERNALLY - not ONLY about managing costs, marketing selling, product etc. It is set by "Remuneration Committees" MANY FTSE companies have seen their Share Prices rise "Considerably" simply due to the nature of the business they are in and their revenues grow accordingly. e.g. Oil Companies - Oil Prices rise overall revenues rise, because margins are a percentage of revenue, Profits rise so share prices rise BASED ON MARKET EMOTIONS. In other words the performance is based solely on how the market feels about the future propects of a company. NOTHING to do with the actual way that the Directors are performing - Mining Companies have seen vast increases NOT because they became better simply because Speculators put the value of their "reserves" up. So, this perfromance related pay defence is rubbish. The ONLY people who can do something about it are? The Shareholders. But they don't CARE because the value of the assets they hold are going up, and even IF they DID care there are so many of them they could NEVER act together to fire a Director in the first place. So it is a fact that these companies ARE out of control. Have no Governance on Pay voted by Directors who appoint the Remuneration Committees. They will Cry about performance related pay and making Shareholder Value but it is NOTHING to do with how the business works. A decent press statement could make 10%, The EU bail out will have paid Directors even MORE money. The SAME issue exists in the US, it NEEDS legislation now, it is not a simple Political "tax them more" issue In other words. The system is Immoral and Corrupt But also I want one of those jobs

Yup Give it a few years and basic economics (inflate your debt away) and the average L1 Journeyman will be earning 200k And a pint in the Concourse at HT will cost 450 quid

Directors Legislators And in the US Legislators getting jobs as Directors Politics ain't about left or right these days it's about finding a new way to burn ALL these fookers at the stake Or to find a way to become a Director... or a Legislator

nope. BUT it does sound as if Cameron is taking "Leadership" of "The Other 10" to actually fight them with a bit more ammunition. Could be fairly quick that other "Ignored Electorates" start to take their own actions as Elections rush near in France It's more possible that there could be a real split than UK needing a Referendum. The debate could start to swing towards what the EU should be about after the luvvie "come on in fest" of Euro Entry

I'm glad someone else did this... Apart from EoA's comment I'd been thinking all night Oh Krap whether I make it back or am posting Nuns it will all be pointless we are so doomed to screw up the record. Oh well ho hum Back to relying on Karma then

We'll be fine. It's not on TV I hope

When does Mrs EoA get out of her plaster cast from the last time you spent 8 seconds with her? You gotta get that dodgy Sat innernet HotBird Euro Lesbian Porn channels from the geezer in Satwa, you're starting to get more fixated on cocks than I am on Golf & Tiger.

How many times have I tried to tell you about that hacking software of mine.....? Gotta ya. You thought watching a live stream you were winning IPads. Ha - I was hacking your booze licence.

Quality post. Reminds me of my days back home when The Village Parish Coucil used to send the Minutes round Oh, did I notice they now have a permanent post in their Management Team? Matchday ADMINISTRATOR............

So what I think you're saying here is that he's not the (Saints Fans') Messiah; he's a very naughty boy

If Only....

Youch I was 2.945,384,064th and 76,513,956,413th... Me & McjW have something close in common, we're both old farts

Although.... let's say there must be several miilion Brits who have (for one reason or another left the UK We have access to Satellite systems. So why can we NOT pay a subscription and get access to normal daily Beeb shows? OK so Beeb Enterprises do actually sell their shows for real money (eg we FINALLY get to watch Top Gear here now Prime Time at Weekends) but we'd have that anyway. BBC World & BBC Entertainment are fine if you like Doctors, Weakest Link & Come Dine With Me, but they AREN'T the Beeb. That wouldn't affect the UK Beeb Charter

That is So wrong. It's Chandlers Ford

Not needed. 1st offence - save money ship them to Saudi Arabia to work as taxi drivers in some convoluted Aid Programme. 3 days over there they will NEVER want to go back for a second offence

Hmmm Hammo check your password prtection & anti hacking tools and FFS don't leave the forum on your PC while you fetch a beer from the fridge. If Mrs H learns there are women out there who want you your entire world could change.... (as in check browsining history for Anne Summers Online etc)

Which, depending upon which side of the fence we all sit, and view we may hold, may (or may not) cause some concerns to certain owners of Football Clubs who may (or may not) have had less than Altruistic Ideals as to how to fund their Train sets. Which in a few cases may mean as the owners feel blue

TBH we have been like that since about January 2010 Let's face it we are short of 2 players at the moment - a fit Jaidi and a fit Barnard would fill the gap until January

Arrgh This is looking REALLY touch & go. Having shunned the delights of a long weekend in Bali while Future Mrs D_P works buying up the Island for her shop, I was already to get back from a freebie Corp Golf day today & book a flight back for 2mro & do Boro & maybe Posh. And I can't. I HAVE to stay here and sign some papers for work ARRRRGGGHHHH That gives me ONE window of an overnight flight Sat morning, Will it have airmiles seats available? Arrrgghh Oh guess who won the Golf tournament? Must screw my knee up & have surgery more often!
