I saw a lathe .... wierd (sic)

I saw this sign the other day.....

Devils advocate alert.... What did the alternative path look like?

If he was close, what stopped him pulling the funds together in the end? Was it a small piece of the jigsaw that was missing or was the jigsaw in 1000s of jumbled pieces on the floor with a torn lid? (hmm....not a bad analogy by my standards ) And, if it was the former (one small piece of the jigsaw) what stopped him completely the deal shortly after administration if it was that close beforehand ? And.....Is he still "frantic" as we speak?

Done

Bet you can't name 5....

Sorry if I'm being thick (just this once) but is that one of those number plates that's supposed to spell out a name if I squint hard enough? Can't see anything in that one. Sorry if obvious, long day.

Wrong analogy IMO. Try the one where you amputate a leg to try and save someone's life. It doesn't always work but the patient would have died if you did nothing anyway.

Conspiracy theorists of the world unite! Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if your theory, Agent Bridge, isn't bang on the money.

Indeed. This has never been satisfactorily answered by anyone IMHO. Why can't the club release a statement if it's a simple case of a law breaking technicality that they can't start selling them on a deferred, but guaranteed, payment basis.

Laverstoke Park, near Basingstoke. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/jan/27/foodanddrink.features10 Perhaps this is the "chap in Basingstoke" that Jonah keeps refering to....the one that sold £450 worth of shares on 31st March to bring the SLH to its knees.... Get behind the "It's Jodie Schekter's Bullocks" takeover rumour....FFS

Too late...he's already acounted for....why would he leave the mighty Truro FC for Saints? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truro_City_FC Oh, and his property development company went bust last year... http://www.businesscornwall.co.uk/tag/cornish-homes But, apart from that....
