Enough points to have secured a playoff place if it wasnt for the -10. Agree next year it has to be automatic promotion or at very least promotion from playoffs.

They are free to stand up for their rights. They are currently exercising their right to strike. Management are exercising their right to try to reduce costs to neaer to the industry average. Customers are continuing to head for the exits and fly with airlines who arent stricken with high prices and poor reliability. The BA cabin crew are destroying not only their own jobs but also those of all the other staff groups who have already settled.

Don't think anyone really knows, it was all supposition even at the time. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1449117/Huntley-driven-by-a-sexual-motive-says-QC.html

Mebbe. Then perhaps he can try and take down the literacy tutor or the Chaplain.

Well done you. The actions of a total 'kin moron. A fight between a psychotic knife freak and a psychopathic child killer doesnt need you handing out prizes to the winner. Damien Fowkes was high on crack cocaine and £4,000 in debt to his drug dealer when he went on a violent spree with a 12-inch knife in Northampton in April. One terrified victim with a two-year-old child awoke to find Fowkes in her Lea Road home brandishing the knife and demanding money. After Fowkes was sentenced on Monday, Dc David Charman, from Northampton CID, said: “We are extremely satisfied with the life sentence. “The three knifepoint robberies were particularly violent and caused considerable distress. He broke into a couple’s home and threatened them in bed. “He also stole a man’s car at knifepoint, and held a knife to a man’s throat in a separate attack in a bid to steal jewellery and cash. “Crack cocaine has once again been shown to be the source of serious crime. The life sentence reflects the seriousness of these offences and we hope the victims will take some comfort from this. “Fowkes was a prolific offender and hopefully the streets of Northampton will now be somewhat safer without him.” At Northampton Crown Court on Monday, Judge Richard Bray told Fowkes, of Cambourne Close, Far Cotton, that the 27-year-old addict’s previous convictions for violent robberies and his mental instability meant a life sentence was justified. Judge Bray said: “One cannot imagine the terror these offences caused to the victims who thought they could be killed at any moment.”

Sounds pretty par for the course for a good CEO if you ask me.

Buy a Sony Bravia 46W5500 - 46 inch screen very very good performer all round and under £1,000. Technically and spec identical (apart from screen size) to the Sony Bravia 40E5500 I bought a couple of months ago - recommend this product from this supplier (couple of hundred pounds cheaper than most). http://www.multizoneav.com/Product/SONY/LCD_%26_Plasma_TV/KDL46W5500/Pricerunner/ http://www.testfreaks.co.uk/tvs/sony-bravia-kdl-46w5500/

I think the current owners reckon they persuade creditors to take a small slice of what they are owed, then buy the club out of admin, sell the ground and players, recoup as much of what they owed as possible, then walk away. I guess the club will survive in some form but royally you know whatted for years.

That Telegraph interview sounds like Storrie in "come and get me. I'll spill all the beans to save myself plea" to me.

How can AA be very confident of agreeing a CVA if negotiations havent even commenced yet? Nonsense. Asked by The News how confident he was about reaching a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) with creditors before this season ends, Mr Andronikou said: 'I'm very confident. 'It's our absolute focus. We are looking for the CVA to be in place around May or June time.' Negotiations with all the club's creditors are close to commencing.

Read this in the Times the other day. Sums it all up really. "What’s changed since the Premier League broke away from the Football League in 1992? Everything. If you won the First Division title, you were the best team in England. If you win the Premier League, you owe someone £500 million."

Theres no way I would buy a car from pistonheads - you can almost guarantee the previous boyracer owner will have thrashed it. You'd be better off trying to find one owned by a 60 year old accountant who bought it as a sop to a flagging libido and only drove it gently.

In 2007, the US spent $7,439 per person, around 16% of GDP - even though 15% of people arent covered at all. The US government paid just over half of that - $3,800. The UK spent $3,200 per person in total, around 8% of GDP. That means the US government taxes and spend more on healthcare than the UK government does per person and then employers or individuals have to shell out just as much again to get treatment. What a great system that is. If we more than doubled the amount of money going into the NHS do you not think the service might just be a tad better?

I think a lot of people in the US worry about healthcare if they become unemployed or retire. I dont know much about the Canadian system but it seems to be well respected and at a reasonable cost.
