I recently read somewhere about the chap sent in to turn (I think) Fairline boats around. He started by looking in the boatyard skip and he found 90 metres of very expensive cable of a particular type on a loom in the skip. He looked at the books and discovered that every boat needed 10m of this wire, so for every boat they ordered a 100m loom (minimum size), cut off 10m and binned it. I did make me wonder if wastage of this sort took place at companies like Saints (to try and make this Saints related).

grasping a story out of nothing - I read the report - it's a warning to all prem clubs

booo, my boat manufacturer has become MG Rover

Hoddle for chairman Dalek?

Same as me last Jan - know how hard it is - thoughts are with you. Last time I cried was around Christmas as it was the first one without her around. I don't buy all the masculinity crap - I barely ever cry (cried once during the whole thing at the funeral) as I hate it, but I also feel emotionally stunted therefore rather than "strong" or whatever

I don't (I've wasted 2 of 3 posts on this - we'd better not sign Messi today)

no it isn't

Nope. I think we'll be fine. I think Newcastle might collapse though, and after the pasting they get from the fascist maybe the Sunderland players will give it up as well. Anyway Dalek, do what I did and bung a tenner on at 100 to 1 (or bung 50 quid on - 5 large would sweeten the pill of relegation)...

He was in the room next to my wife's Grandad in the White House until recently - the poor bugger looked terrible and I would say it's a blessed relief in many ways (much like when my mum went last year - I'm not saying that without a similar experience). I did tell him I'd seen him score at Wembley and it got a bit of a reaction - RIP Kev

Personally, I'm almost pleased about this being a thrashing as hopefully it'll give the club a kick up the arse after last weeks complacency as well. I don't think we'll go down - after today I expect at least 2 more points and I don't see Wigan winning 4 straight games... Anyway, Newcastle fans are the ones that should be ****ting it - we have had a bad result, they are on a bad run...

Bangles is a good curry from memory.

One of: a) Gas explosion (it was a hotel) b) a Tim McVeigh nutter type c) Al Qaeda d) NK (they have bombed planes in the past) e) Iran at a guess. Bomb forensics will go a long way to helping identify it. if it's c) they'll take the credit (and they might anyway). Having lived in Boston, thankfully my mates there are ok (and their sons and daughters who had decided to go to watch the finish - phew). cowards and arseholes if it's not a

I didn't expect the death of Baroness Thatcher to make me think more of Stan Collymore. The world is a strange place.

Did Barcelona in 2 days - was a stretch but ok - roads through central spain dodgy so like Whitey Grandad says it's a 3 day trip I think. However, we stopped Paris day 1, day 2 Barcelona (and I'd probably look at day 2 Agde now I've been around there) then drive from there maybe

I think the Media line for 2013 should be something like 35m so as mentioned above a lot of it is based on the equity swap. Nice to see us budgeting to pay creditors as well! :-)

i share his name, so this news is slightly freaky to me

You can pick up a tidy, well running DB9 for 35k Phil, as opposed to a dilapidated **** hole for a few million so I'm not sure this works ;-)

love it

My sister is good mates with him. Says he was a nice bloke who had a hospital pass of the first job being to announce the sacking of Adkins - shame

happiness is a mental stance. i agree

retired with 4m to **** around with

West Wood?

Can we get Matt Target involved with the first team squad - he's meant to be good. Fox could be cover for left wing - his defensive concentration and positioning is the problem with him...

Rory McGrath. he is 5 grand for an evening. as was Giles Brandreth. the company i used to work booked both of these.

It gets better and better this.
