  1. Sorry, you've lost me there....probably my fault to be honest as I am without brain... which of my dumb comments alluded to the withdrawal of 'free' healthcare? By the way, rest assured that the city of "soton" is not blighted by my lack of intelligence as I don't live there. Just to correct that particular false assumption... ;-)
  2. Lol at the human race thinking they can take a random planet in a random universe and make it "fair".
  3. Just think, that £35k would have covered the costs of running a season ticket installment scheme...
  4. Not a silly argument at all. Of course I'm not advocating the 'rich git' method of wealth recycling for all. Sigh. There will always be a 'super rich' elite and all I'm countering is the shallow argument that they somehow don't contribute to society because they "evade" paying mainstream taxes. I'd much rather they recycled their huge wealth in the 'free market' than hand over mullions of pounds to politicians. We all know how good the latter are at spending taxpayer's money wisely. Anyway, back to the sweeping statements....
  5. And what do they do with the money they avoid paying to the treasury? Spend it on big boats and the like which creates many jobs. Sounds like a good trade to me.
  6. Like there was when Brown shat on all personal pensions?
  7. Have they paid back the £35k they owe us yet?

    Pentax k-x

    Hi, I'm about to get back into the world of 'keen amateur' SLR photography having strayed away when compact digital cameras took over the world 10 or so years ago. In the 35mm world I tended to stick with Pentax (can't remember why I chose them above Canon, Nikon etc but was always happy with Pentax) and still have some Pentax lenses. I've been having a look at what's on offer in the DSLR world and the Pentax k-x has caught my eye, especially as it appears my old lenses are still compatible. The only possible drawbacks I've read about in reviews are battery drain (it uses 4xAA rather than a dedicated camera battery) and body size (it's the smallest body size in it's class I believe - I don't have large hands so perhaps the compactness is actually a plus point in terms of portability) Anyone got any experience of using the Pentax k-x ? Cheers
  9. I'll start another one then.....

  17. So, just to summarise the last 12 months... Football Club runs up debts Football Club Owner seeks way of reducing debt Football Club Owner puts Football Club into administration Football Club Owner reduces debt by 80% Football Club starts afresh ready for another unfunded push into Premier League If only I'd known running a company was this easy when I saw the careers advisor in 1985
  18. Cheers for the update Baj. Having used tapatalk for a couple of months it's proved to be really useful so hopefully they can come up with the goods. Cheers
  19. I pondered in one of the other season ticket threads whether Cortese was adopting a more continental attitude to season tickets next season. My theory being that perhaps this is the way it works in Italy, Germany etc. i.e. Perhaps the season ticket culture is fairly unique to Britain? Pure guesswork on my part as I can't find any stats on the web to back up this theory. That said, even if I am warm, I agree that the transition from a season ticket business model to a PAYG model could/should have been communicated better.
  20. Any update on this? Still not workng for me. Is it still being looked at or are we in White flag territory? Would be nice to know one way or t'other. Cheers
  21. Cow bells would be better
