+1 Thought the clip was apt - King Storrie saying one thing and the Directors (blokes in the castle) ignoring him completely BUT, I really think that when the film is made of the book of this thread the Pythonesque randomness of events down the road could mark a new era in cinema humour. BTW It wasn't anywhere near as good as the film, but the West End play was a stand out ROFL on it's own.... Credit again to Eric for starting the thought process with the Parrot sketch two days and 1,200 or so posts ago

Ah that's why this thread is so priceless We just found out what Rupert is doing these days

A bloke that flies a lot and collects air miles? Ah ha another cunning plan THAT's why Al Faraj talked about having millions.....

And zee froggie chapps firing W******d over the castle walls at the invading army Arthur and his Knights being attacked by savage winding up orders instead of Man Eating rabbits..... But of course, OMG, FINALLY WELL DONE PEDG Now we know what we can do with Nottarf Krap.... We can turn it into a Shrubbery

PMSL.. Look chaps, this has now gone far enough. I know we have a dig at the gene pool down that way, but surely all football fans forums must be like TSW.... Somebody must have hacked their web site, you nasty people are doing this on purpose... Surely they cannot be THAT thick? Hell our dear Saint Robbie and his bequests to get Rupert out are Poet Laureate quality compared to those. Mind you suppose it is hard to type properly when you have toes or fins where your fingers are meant to be.

Think that was the approximate air speed velocity of a Swallow. Oh no that was a movie and stage play that was ALMOST as funny as this thread Avram & Storrie teller - The Knights who say Ni (Not I) ....No I didn't agree to sell ....No my position is more tenable this morning (or is that Tenner able)?

Time's up.... Just like Poopey's

Wow, is it just me or do they seem a tad touchy of late? Just one minor point with the shoe protest... It's only an insult if they are at the match. Now, can someone remind me of how many games Al Faraj has attended?

Hmmm And finally they wake up to reality - hurts don't it boys. http://www.fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=227527

MUCH more to the point however.... Zero income from them as they are all away games and the home club keeps all the receipts.

But yes, we should have a bucket collection, in fact I'm so moved by their plight, I'd be happy to throw a hundred thousand into the kitty to get it started. Vietnamese Dong that is of course

The trail of deduction is covered in the takeover saga thread, and the links are there (unless someone has edited wiki of course)

Having been reading some papers, could be a race to see who goes bust first. Greece or the skates

Bullsh1t. There is NO way that is an X-Ray of Storrie. That X-Ray clearly shows a back-bone, every Saints fan knows that Storrie Teller is a spineless c()nt

The appliance of rocket science. It seems pretty clear that our deluded friends believed that they would have sold the club, found a new investor to con or got Ocean Finance to stump up by now. Clearly Grant's previous statements about not making player sales but adding to the squad show him to also live in la-la land as he believed what he was being told (unlike us wise 9,850+ posters) So suddenly on Thursday it becmae clear to this week's owner that there were no fools with money left in the planet after the whole crash and so panic mode has set in. How much can they get in? They will have no care for the value of any squad player, only how much cash they can get into their account before Sunday. Alongside this, they will be begging their creditors that aren't sueing them to accept new payment plans, all the while hoping that the cash from Kaboul etc will cover the bills this weekend. And they seem to be doing ALL of this without using any of their Directors. Jacobs, & storrie aren't involved, the owner will be at his Mosque in Saudi today (they take their Friday's very seriously) so the whole shooting match is now a one man band. If I was a few, I'd be very worried today about what money gets moved to which creditor in the next 48 hours. While the UK law may be quite clear as to who is in the pecking order, the motley crew owning the place really don't care too much, extradition isn't easy from Israel, Saudi & the UAE for UK company law cases. Could take years to solve by which time they'll all be saying oh sorry, didn't understand... But of course if somoeone found a memo or email showing that the Directors knew what has been going on, then the few would get their revenge quite easily...... just forward it to the DPP

Gobble gobble The RSPCA wish to point out that the Turkey wasn't harmed during the photoshoot, although he did have some saliva stains on his suit trousers afterwards

Obviously they can't as they are on credit hold with Poopey Hospitals. NHS don't do player transfer medicals....

So the sales pay off Spuds for the original purchase and give them enough money to pay the wages this month But then the transfer window closes on Sunday - How the feck do they expect to find the wages & HMRC for February?.... Sold their best players for peanuts, a new investor has to be conned into buying a weakened squad struggling to stay in the PL... If it was a horse..................

Great review CeC. I first saw that movie when I was a kid and I swear even today I remember the emotions it creates, you mentioned the Morse Code signal - I could picture that scene instantly all these years later. How true that these days movies rely on the "sudden" shock factor to leave an impression rather than the whole film building to that one moment. Was the emotion despair, depression or a sudden awakening as th the reality of the world? Nearest thing I came across to the movie & the book was the Novel "Down to A Sunless Sea" by David Graham, clearly follows the concept of On The Beach but with a more modern take Must dig that out again

The Boat that Rocked. Great Cast. Almost hard to recognise Philip Seymour Hoffman from Charlie Wilson's War! Anyone old enough to have tuned in their tranny at night to listen to Radio Caroline, or anyone who has a friend who has worked in radio would spot the amalgam of characters in the movie. Bill Nighy overacting superbly one moment and then spot on the next, Simple Simon and Whispering Bob Harris (well who else could it be?). Really entertaining couple of hours, didn't really lol (like Superbad) but just had a happy smiley face all the way through. Not a wonderful critical or cinematic masterpiece but a really nice way of remembering a part of how our culture grew up. Well worth the effort after a few glasses of vino. DVD has now been moved from my bulk folder to my happy to watch regularly folder

Just found exclusive online video of Azougy at work today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmhk38oq194 Well the shenanigans of the past few weeks reminded me of this :-)
