Just so I get this straight, A report published in 2006 listed people who received money for private individual's information that included employees in Government Departments and the Police? And that wasn't 1. Illegal, 2. Deemed worthy of investigating further? Which bit of the word corruption did they not understand? And which laes did these people NOT break? Data Protection Act being one of them surely.

Thomas Bjorn eh. Cracking round of golf by him this morning. Only scrapes in as a replacement and the scene of his implosion back in 2003. The way the course & greens seem to make good players look stupid, who knows what could happen. Tommy would be this year's heart tug story. Oh and that Tom Lewis looks bloody useful as well. WTF are Lee & GMac doing though?

In this instance as stated I was a lurker & went & did some research, LLCP was on the conf call along with StD & StL about the fact that their big buyers didn't exist. The whole story was played out on TSF. I still have nightmares about that even now. The upside was that it led to the Forum Matches & I met Weston Saint Oldnick & others, the downside is I met some complete c*nts

Oh wow, I am so disappointed. I so looked forward to receiving the finger from KH. I took it as evidence that someone on here actually read the drivel I post

OK so it all kicks off tomorrow, the weather looks pretty grim. Who's gonna win it? Will Lee finally come good? Can Luke do it 2 weeks in a row? or will Rory become the new Messiah of Brit Sport? Can a Journeyman pro come through & do a once in a lifetime like Ben Curtis? We can't bet here but I'd have a tenner EW on Lee. Anyone else got any ideas? anyone else planning to book their sofa for the weekend with no footie on the box?

Stupid thing was the day I found out I was attending an "IT Industry Awards Dinner" for work. Lots of free munchies & stuff. My "conf call" to explain things to the guys ended up costing me around $100 and I missed all the imortant networking due to the levels of denial from the other end of my phone. Still, about 6 months later I was back in UK & met the guys for a beer in Bompey, in real life most of them turned out to be good but misguided guys. One turned out to be a complete.... The positive aspect was that through them I met a bunch of other forum legends & discovered that all of them are actually true Saints fans like me and actually damned good guys, as before those days I had only been a lurker.

Just watched Repo Men on telly. Gruesome, but actually a good film. Sh1t ending 5/10

Oh FFS READ the fecking thread, yes I was I posted on it earlier.

My involvement was simple, I came across the name of the "Company" in Dubai that was supposed to be Barry's backer. God knows where I heard it from but it was supposed to be owned by some "Lady Sheikh" or Sheikha. Anyway I simply looked the name up on the Dubai Economic Department Trade Licence Name list and found - did not exist. I DID find a defunct company with that name in Sharjah but it sure as heck had no links to the supposed Royalty. Like you I contacted the guys and had this long call with STL about it. Wish I hadn't bothered TBH. But that's a different story. Like all Saints fans at the time I guess I wanted the basics to be true but the reality... So, until couple of days ago I have always felt those 3 guys to be numpties. In light of recent revelations I do lol to myself (and in a way console myself) that this could have been a Fake Sheikh FAIL.

aRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Or........... Mellor deal Post 101

I seem to recall at the time that MW went and had dinner with tommac in London. One of the trivial takeover things that popped up after a few beers & reading this

I'm happy with that. Safari so good

This forum IS without a doubt one of the leading lights in Investigative Reporting. Our track record is second to none. We've all known for years that Journos come here to check their details first. Hell, half the Journos in England read the Poopey Thread. Our ONLY weakness is that the Admins have stayed silent on all of this, not one comment on the leading questions of the day. In fact with only a small amount of marketing, this forum should have been a frontrunner for many Journalistic awards and prize funds, it should be worth millions by now and of course free to all. Actually, hang about, where ARE the admins? you don't think they did that already......

News Corp under fire in the US. Quelle surprise. Fox has upset the entire "left of Centre" and done more to undermine Obama than Obama himself. TBH I really don't give a damn unless it stops Avatar 2 from being released, then I may just become a tad disgruntled. Murdoch is 15 years past his sell by date, Wall Street wanted a succession plan that was independent. The fun is only just beginning over there and good riddance. Although comment on Sky tonight was fair - without Murdoch, BSB may never have come into being and sport (well football mainly) would never have had a golden age. Which means we could have competed. Burn the witch, burn the witch. Next totally stupid idea? Watch Abu Dhabi launch a bid for BSkyB so they can protect their Man City investment

I think Holmes has taken over the "player with most quality if only he could stay out of the treatment room" mantle

Changed it for you BTF Oh interesting interview comment by Millibean congratulating people on the success of this campaign............ (I guess he meant to get the Takeover stopped) So this was all a campaign? BTF The status is NI passed papers to the Police in January. Why? If they were worried about the impact on the proposed takeover that seemed rather dumb. If they wanted to get their information out there before somebody else published then it was rather smart, but a glorious FAIL If it was a damage limitation exercise then ROFL. Verbal is and always has been a massive addition to every thread and debate he posts on, always full of comments quotes and ideas. But everything I post and every question I have asked, there has still not been one response or opinion or conjecture to the question of timing. I am glad Verbal lives in a workd where co-incidence is an everyday occurence and you are a punctuation specialist. My spooling his always been rubbish on here. Anyway I'm also glad that Millibean has just said - There is still worse to come - plenty of time for more people to wish they had put a sock in it in their reactions

Good showing by Millibean in his moment of glory with his opening remarks. Well done to him, and he apologised for not acting when in power. For the witch-hunt, Sky flashed up a timeline which asks another little question. 21 Dec 2010 EU gave approval for the takeover. Hmm the cynic would ask "What did NI hold over them?"

I find it odd in the true scale of the mess unfolding in other parts of the UK that somehow, despite some 12,000 people being bugged/hacked that nobody seems to have hacked the few's owners & managers. Makes me laugh that they are considered less newsworthy & significant than Prince Harry borrowing a TV Camera from a mate. Oh how insignificant they must be

Shouldn't there also be an FAPP for Politicians? Journalists. Policemen. Medical Records Keepers.
