I hear Ronnie Biggs is still looking for somewhere to invest his Post Office Savings Account

I heard it live in the car. Seemed like he just got bored with the style of the questions . They did sound a bit like the sort questions a yts trainee would have asked on his first radio job .

They drink Irn Bru and wear skirts - how "ghey" can it get ?

From the bottom right hand corner of their official website. I wonder if they appreciate the irony of sinking ship now displayed as a wreck.

Do you not find that most people receive good service wherever they go, whilst a few seem to attract bad service everywhere.? Maybe some (not all, there are always a few valid complaints) should be looking at themselves, not those doing the serving, before starting their whinging .

oops ! All day at the Old Deer Park car park (surface car park on the A316 couple minutes walk to station) is only £7.50 all day on Sundays http://www.richmond.gov.uk/home/transport_and_streets/motor_vehicles_roads_and_parking/parking/car_parks/content-parking_richmond_area_car_parks.htm Agree with SNSUN though, helluva tube journey from there.

So have I got this right. They owned their own ground, pretty much their only asset of any value. They owed Chainrai £17m Now Chainrai owns the ground They STILL owe him £7m (plus accumulating interest) which they still have to repay. They will have to pay him (up to) £1m a year to use the ground for 15 years. After 15 years they have nowhere to play unless the stmp up what he's asking for then (could be anything) If they default on one "rental period" within that 15 years (15 days more like) he can (presumably) evict them I wonder which Edition of "Running a Business for Dummies" they borrowed from the library before coming up with that one !

At least there's some good news from Nottarf - the scoreboard operator has finally been paid.

I've just heard from someone who should be ITK on such matters that no-one will be getting off of any trains in Woolston on Saturday.. I guess none of us will know for sure till the day

A gentle rub down under. HTH

Just make sure you get the pitch fee off them before you book anything

How apt for an Echo journalist Dan Kerins is an anagram of A Nerd Inks

Looks like the recent multiple-user-name amnesty worked a treat then

HMMM even more random that that story seems to have disappeared. Maybe have to lin to the cached page then http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:hFyREYu5jI8J:www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/13/footie-wayne-and-his-vanessa-split-up-115875-21893319/+wayne+bridge+girlfriend&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a Damn that's my 3 for the day

Couldn't possibly be linked with THIS then, that would just be TOO random, what with appearing on a thread about John Terry and everything.

I also suffer from the 3 posts a day rule so I'll just post this random photo in a random thread that had Al's random question in it.

Ring Ring "Good afternoon Portsmouth Football Club" "Hello, I have £100m I don't need and am thinking of buying a football club. Can I speak to your owner please." "Certainly Sir. Ummm when you say owner, what do you mean exactly?" "The person who owns the club of course, please put me through I'm in a hurry" "When you say "owns the club" do you mean the team, or the stadium, or the land it's on, or the one the doesn't really own anything but sort of controls it all?" "I jut wish to speak to the man in charge of the club" " Certainly Sir, ummmm when you say "man in charge ....." "Forget it. I'll ring Crystal Palace"

JPFCW requires kiss of life after dying of embarrassment when Saints fans ambushed him and stripped him naked proving once and for all it's the tattoos that are fake and the blue hair that is for real.

On a similar theme (was going to start a new thread but can't.) If we beat MKD will we also set a new record as the ONLY team ever to have played in ALL five domestic professional finals ? FA Cup League Cup Charity Shield Zenith Data Systems /Simod Whatever other names it had Cup Johnstones Paint / LDV / Football League/ Whatever other names it had Trophy

That depends on whether the potential investor considers himself investing in a football club or a potential property development site

Yes, wouldn't matter if the bet was a one off or part of an accumlator, odds would drop in accordance with Rule 4C if a runner pulls out of a race after odds are declared. And in that case his accumulator would have lost. But again using the 5/1 assumption, you may have felt £1 on it to snow in Winchester @ 5/1 = win £6 if it does, £0 if it doesn't AND £1 on it to snow in Basingstoke @ 5-1 = win another £6 if it does £0 if it doesn't were worthwhile bets, surely you wouldn't expect odds of 35/1 and win £72 for a £2 bet(if done as an accumulator) because it snows in BOTH, (unless you reckon that for every 6 days it snows it Basingstoke it only snows one one of them in Winchester, or vice versa , which I would guess is unlikely)

Not really the same thing. Depending when a horse pulls out odds on others can still be reduced. But the scenario is sill different, Horse A winning has absolutely no effect on Horse B winning in a different race so the winnings from A can then be placed on B (accumulated). In the snowing scenario the odds were given to snow in those places specifically. Snow in in one area would have an effect on the likelihood of it snowing in a neighbouring area. By including them all in an accumulator he was effectively making one bet on it snowing over the whole region that included those towns, the odds of which, if individual towns were quoted at say 5/1, would be unlikely to be more than about 7/1, if any higher at all.

Quick, who remembers the PIN number? 657 ? Nope, that don't work
