Keep up Nick...

I had heard the same but not sure it's "common knowledge" per se....?

Works now....ditto!

Is this where your analogy falls down though: "The Vet did her best"...?

How come that link doesn't work any more? Hmmmm

Hmmmm.... "Rome - Negotiations for the sale of Serie A club Roma were on hold Wednesday after a prospective buyer failed to deposit a guarantee at an Italian investment bank. News reports said that the Rome club is now likely to be auctioned as the investment bank Mediobanca didn't receive an expected guarantee worth 200 million euros (282 million dollars) from Vinicio Fioranelli, a Swiss entrepreneur and football agent. Fioranelli leads a group of investors who appeared keen on acquiring the majority of the club's shares. " http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/274595,roma-auction-likely-after-potential-buyer-fails-to-make-deposit.html .....all sounds a tad familiar. Probably not them then.....

"Come here....there's more...." http://www.wikio.co.uk/news/Vinicio+Fioranelli

Vinicio Fioranell's Swiss consortium lost out on Roma recently....how many Swiss consortiums are out there looking for a football team? Can't be many can there? http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKLO34150520090624

And Rod Stewart....

Little old lady

Thanks for the insight

Did it have the letter 'V' in it....?

The future? Right now I think we should follow in Marty McFly's footsteps and head straight back to 1985....

Something else

I concur....I just can't believe there is a law that prohibits a consumer from saying "ok, I know the risk and accept that I may lose this cash, but I want to buy one anyway". Surely consumer law is there to protect the consumer in a situation where they had no warning that a company was about to go tits up. If everything is transparent then surely the consumer has every right to waive his protection rights if he or she so chooses. This ***** labour government has created a nanny state beyond belief.

So my human rights to (potentially) throw my cash down the toilet are being infringed...isn't there an EU law that overrides such self-defeating laws? Fair point. You've got to admit though that Woolworths were bloody great for Batman outfits and Val Doonican albums.
