  1. Sealey leetle neegly fowls dornt neeed too do eet Merrington on form them
  2. Wotton or James
  3. Check it out in your local Polish Deli - Zubrowka Vodka (with the buffalo grass in it pale green label) Serve on ice slice of lemon & top up with apple juice. Gets you through turgid commentaries better than Eric's OSH and far fewer calories. And of course it is flat:-)
  4. Warning signs again, gone VERY flat sort it out AP
  5. Need a top up on the Zubrowka. Time for a thrid then while I'm downstairs
  6. It has turned turgid HTH
  7. 10 men all at FP Carlisle win Or not in fact nice work by the Solent team there
  8. lol Did he get a ticket in time?
  9. SP getting worse, at least it's HT
  10. That'll teach us complacency too early

  12. Give me a shout 2mro Meanwhile is it OSH tonight? Zubrowka & Apple the Pocari & Stoli is banned after Saturday's mare AND YES an OWN GOAL WEBERLEE WEMBERLEE
  13. The GF was watching a movie - Mothman Prophecies and wouldn't let me leave to the end (it was scary) - exactly on kick off time I'd already logged in to SP and get here to find fecking MS Windows security update has switched me off. Grrr took 15 minutes to get back into SP and feck had missed the goal Was then wondering whether we can get a group fare back for the final or is EoA wimping up to Leigh for the weekend but he's got domestic issues coming up - lol SMS sounds great tonight, hope we start like this Saturday and Waigo misses a sitter by the sound of it
  14. Oh no you're not - hotel room is booked for 27th
  15. Woo hoo late on parade watching Mthman Propheices and then found teh puter had been updated by MS and switched itself off, just get on line to see Lambo's scored! You gonna go oop north for the weekend or a quick in and out if it stays like this?
  16. Thought Pantomime season has finished http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5928629,00.html Oh no it didn't Oh yes it did
  17. A couple of things would have to happen first. The regular contributors would have to agree an image rights contract. When the book sigining tour starts how many of the 1,000+ posters get to travel around the world signing autographs in the bookstores? Would sales be enough to allow us to buy say Bournemouth (as the few will have been defunct) and rename them Saints Reserves? Who will manage the petting zoo? Is there a spell checker in the world powerful enuff to kope with meny off the tipos on here due to l8 downing of copious bears? Wow, may be easier for the skates to save themselves
  18. And finally Another of my occassional cultural updates that could have some bearing on events. The last two owners were Arabs. A very good line from the Telegraph a month or so back when Dubai announced it's freeze on debt repayment. A final due date for payment is taken as the start point for more negotiations. The two owners would simply NOT have understood Liquidation or WINDING UP. Here, there are NO Bankruptcy laws. If you owe people money so what? If an Arab business owes an expat business money - "Ha so sue me in an Arabic court". Dubai Holdings told their trade creditors that they were taking an automatic 20% discount on all the debts that they owed for work done. By taking the discount they said they would then ENDEAVOUR to pay the bills within the next year. However, anyone NOT taking the discount would not get paid for "some considerable time" (which down here means never) So, the owners quite simply may not have begun to understand the implications of the HMRC court case. Certainly Al Mirage never having left Saudi would not even have a comprehension of what Storrie teller was talking about. Not arrogance, not stupidity, just total alien language. The sudden arrival of Chanrai at the weekend may well have been the spur to start the talking, but by then it was most likely too little too late. If it goes wrong tomorrow it would once again be a prime example of Western businessmen arrogantly assuming that globalisation means the world speaks the same language. Shame, if they'd banked with HSBC they may have noticed some of those adverts all over airports and the like....
  19. I could answer but that would only upset WSS
  20. Uh no... The statement was "An Agent of the club is in talks with "an Arab" Put that back into context 18 months or so and it translates to Whacko, Saint Lee & St David were in talks with an Arab. Remember those halycon days? See, much better
  21. FF this is a key point that most on here should keep at the fornt of their minds. NC is here for the chance to make a LOT of money. He could do that in his old job and hasn't given that up to suddenly become a charity worker. It is about making the club better so that it becomes worth a lot more. AP's current run of results show that the improvement has stopped. That will not be tolerated and it is good to see the reaction is quick, simple and polite, as well as cleverly timed. It isn't an ultimatum, just a well crafted kick up the ass reminder
  22. You boyz is proper nawty, spoiling their nice chat like that :-)
  23. Question to the experts. Could HMRC accept the 1.8mil, go ahead with the hearing, obtain the judgement but ask for it to be deferred subject to blah blah blah. In which way they get the money now and the skates have a "you miss the next payment by an hour you are history" hanging over them?
