"John Magnier, through Acomita, his Swiss-based investment vehicle, caused a stir earlier this year when he took a 14% stake in Devro, a Scottish company that is the largest sausage-skin maker in the world." http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/article1017746.ece?token=null&offset=24

Hey, I did that one first on the other thread!

Switzerland = (cloud) Cuckoo Land

How do you make a Swiss roll?

Bill hooks

More like a "Carry On....." film if you ask me....any ideas for a working title...?

So why did Lowe lay into them in his leaving interview with Sky News last month?

From our old friend Wikipedia.... "[Michael Wilde] is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and has a Master of Arts degree in Town & Regional Planning from Sheffield University. He has authored many papers on housing issues and was a Senior Lecturer in Real Estate Economics and Town Planning at the National University of Singapore from 1978 to 1985. During his time in Singapore he also acted as an advisor to the Government's Housing Development Board and Urban Redevelopment Authority. He retains a significant property investment portfolio in Singapore"

Agree. It is somewhat telling that the accusations of people "wanting" the club to go into administration are never accompanied by the names of the accusees.

Begbies Traynor were actually appointed by the SLH board (according to the wording of the LSE announcment), but I appreciate the underlying point/sentiment.

Who regulates the Administrator to ensure they are being efficient and not dragging thinngs out to their own advantage? (I am, of course, not suggesting for one minute that Begbies Traynor are anything but doing things by the book. I'm just interested in principle)

Sour grapes?

But he's is a board member of Southampton Football Club Ltd. Doesn't that make him an employee of said subsidiary?

How many potential bidders has Fry actively sought and brought to the table? As opposed to those who simply came knocking on his door because they knew the club is 'up for grabs'... In other words, is Fry in 'passive' or 'active' selling mode?

Google? No, of course not. I use AltaVista.

Tsk, I saw what you did there....

It's actually: fine-toothed comb. i.e. the hyphen is between the 'fine' and 'toothed'. Note: fine-tooth comb (without the 'ed' suffix on 'tooth') is a synonym of 'fine-toothed comb'.

You're on very fin ground there I reckon (f.a.o. Pancake...that's a dolphin's fin I refer to there which of course is a mammal not a fish)

What is stopping one (or more) of the staff refusing to work on a goodwill basis?
