So the few are more passionate than Rangers fans in Scotland eh? Oh dear hope they don't get to read that. Oh and above The Owls & Palarce fans and other eh... lol

We won't be bombing Syria. They don't have any oil. They have been a closed "Communist" style system since forever and so Western Companies have not been able to gain a globalisation foothold in the country so no foreign interests of donors to US Politicians to worry about. We didn't bomb them the last time they did all this stuff either. Ain't no money in it

Let me guess. A Public Sector Manager by any chance? (Thinking in general terms in the "Baby P" mess genre of what appears to be "my job is to fill in forms about targets not to provide a duty of care" that is rather prevalent in the press at the moment)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/8547183/London-2012-Olympic-tickets-Your-View.html I'm almost having a Dune-esque Political moment reading that Local Councillors (whose salaries are paid by you the taxpayer) get to jump the queue and buy tickets for the Olympics (which was paid for by you the taxpayer), and then wonder how many of those tickets will have been ordered with their Council Credit Cards (paid for by you the taxpayer) I detect the start of a nice new campaign for the Daily Snail & Torygraph once the actual facts become known http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/council-spending/8542909/Councils-spend-100m-on-taxpayer-funded-credit-cards.html You pay for the Olympics then cannot go because all the seats are being taken up by people who's wages you pay and who paid for the tickets with your money. SURELY, PLEASE, somebody tell me that I have this all wrong

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11674_6961251,00.html How good to know. It's just business to Vlad the Impaler Also, is it just me or is this a rehash of a number of previously stated "facts" reported on here. Sky couldn't be covering the asses with a we told you so piece of Journalism could they?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/8549155/Concacaf-acting-president-Lisle-Austin-fires-whistleblowing-general-secretary-Chuck-Blazer.html And here. He appointed Executives without authority to do so & retained legal counsel without authority. OK so he is the Whistle blower but there ARE Corporate Regulations to stop people doing things without permissions

NC wants the PL He won't faff around We'll build for that Personally? I'd be happy for another "Winning Season" as the Yanks put it so if we do that - who knows?

That's gonna annoy Dune he was wrong for once http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold An interesting anecdote. Gold is a tune on my home karaoke... Good old Spandau Oh bollo! now I won't sleep as that song will keep repeating

Why the hell bother? Find a nice grassy area with a bit of sunshine & a view and stagger shlee lift hovers slup be hairs

Has Alastair Cook taken up football then?

You have obviously never been on a Stag weekend to Bangkok. The reality is even weirder & funnier than the movie Henna Tattoos? Avocado & Cucmumber Face Masks. Losing people? pah one went missing fro 3 days on ours. We actually FOUND two new members of the team on day 2 they had no idea how they had got there, but then they were Yanks

Almost enough material for a couple of cracking books I would suggest

Did that for a mate's 50th. Got him a fake Rolex. He a Brit but lives in Switzerland. He now hates me. He got stopped at Swiss customs and arrested & fined 150 Francs for importing Fake Goods under their new law

Some could argue after the number of times he has told us he was getting his ST, giving up with us and going to The Emirates that a certain Mr Wayman wasn't a fan. but then sometimes he goes and spoils it all by showing more detailed knowledge

That comment is the third thing that annoyed me today Thing is, GF sees list. GF picks item in list. Dumbo here gets volunteered to get thing on list. Shopping for Jewellery. I think that sits somewhere alongside to using a Glastonbury Portaloo mid afternoon in 28C of heat for a krap that really doesn't want to stop as things I really don't wish to have to do in my life ever. The Second was the phone call from a close mate down here who just called to tell me he has full Back Stage access contractors passes for Glastonbury, a Cottage in Pilton, and he FORGOT, I mean he FORGOT that I might have liked to be put on his Guest list for the same freebies. "Oh sh1t I forgot you & GF might be going, I could have.... oh sorry too late now had to be in yesterday " Arrrgghhhh

That's no good. They use it for target practice they'll do 200 million Worth of improvements

Have to buy a wedding present for a mate. Meant had to go to the Gold Soukh here in Dubai. It is 35C and around 80% humidity I had to park 1/2 mile away I was soaked before I even got to the first shop. Every 10 yards another one leaps out the woodwork you want Copy Watch, Rolex, Breitling? NO I ******* DON"T GO AWAY I HAVE A ******* WATCH Anyway, got what I was looking for In the 30th or something shop. Every shop I went into I had a picture - do you have this? Oh yes, followed by 10 minutes of frantic running around while they showed me everything EXCEPT what was on the picture. I want 2 Gold chains in a certain style 9 carat white gold, I DON'T WANT 24 Carat horrible yellow gold, No I don't want a fecking Diamond pendant for 1500 quid No it is not very nice it is BLING do you have what I want? Oh yes this here in Silver Arrrrgghh It was a bit of bling that probably costs 100 quid in Samuels and was 20 quid here, 3 hours of my life dripped away fook it, wish I had chosen the B&Q gift vouchers from the list

Actually, considering we'll be in the PL that coming season, there's only one or two in that list that we'd want to keep - useful clear out then

"It's no comment from me until Wednesday" When they will announce their successful takeover Of Bompey

Take deep breath Go to the coffee machine Take a mouthful of coffee, cough & splutter while clasping your stomach and say oh no, dodgy kebab run to bathroom with paper lock the door and wait 15 minutes Exit and tell everyone you feel really ill think it may be a viral infection head home Lock door go to bed pull sheets over head until you feel in the right mood to go to work simples

Still personally think we are missing the simplest explanation of why Pearson was fired. Lowe was ousted by Wilde & Crouch. he was not a happy bunny at that. Pearson was "a man appointed by a moron" in his own opinion. Politics were still in play, Lowe had returned by a coup de grace. Lowe would n't have wanted anyone tainted by "the other man" anywhere near the management of the club. Ergo, no matter whether Pearson was the Second Coming, offered to PAY to work for us and had won every game 25-0, he never stood a hope. After that? Well, for all the technical & experience faults of the Dutch Joke, a primary reason we went down is still that we failed to sign either a decent CB or a CF in the Jan window, even on loan. For me though, the sad thing is that those days have now GONE, and yet STILL people on here work over old arguments. I AM GLAD PEARSON WENT. Simply because it was one more step on the journey to our being rebuilt as John Smith so eloquently put it.

How much was the EU loan? Just curious, that's all honest

They're a car hire company. No problem. They'll just charge you an extra un-necessary hidden fee for checking with DVLA or whatever it is called this week. Car Hire 3000 - can be random who you get from but have always found them at least 20% cheaper than going direct

Saab are owned by Spyker Cars Spyker are owned by the few's great whiter than white hopes the Russkies Spyker got 400 mil in loans from the EU to save Saab Saab don't have enough money to pay their suppliers and so have all but stopped making cars And Yet.... Saab spunked a truckload of money into a made for TV golfing event in Wales this afternoon (where our gallant Ryder Cup heroes got spanked by some girls) With sound commercial business logic like this. It's a match made in heaven. All it needs now to make it perfection for us is for FIFA to announce they are moving their global HQ to Fratton Park (as their shredders & Data Destruction Systems are better)
