  1. sorry
  2. Via Danny Bakers twitter feed.. Apologies if posted before.
  3. Besides Spyker cars and the WRC company the other companies in CSI are worth about 2 bob. Should those 2 be sold off would it not then be a situation exactly the same as SLH?
  4. I don't think they should give up on looking to Italy for investment. May be they could find a Sicilian who would look over them like a godfather figure. Do the League rules say anything about if you can leave a horses head in the other teams dressing room?
  5. I bet in reality you look nothing like a fire extinguisher!
  6. Where does the fee for AA's services that are due to be paid soon come into this? Are they supposed to be coming from oldco or newco? If oldco do Baker Tilley then have to ask newco for it and if so what happens if newco can't pay? (Though I expect the money will be found from somewhere to pay AA, possibly with the help of the CSI administrator).
  7. Indeed, I expect it has just about the same position is law as political parties manifesto pledges. Can a promise made like that actually be legally enforceable, I suspect not.
  8. Probably just after pompey have sold some players in the transfer window and then spent the money on new ones.
  9. not to mention it could go BOOM. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-14155464
  10. I know its a bit of an off the wall suggestion but maybe they could try selling players but not use the money getting new players in and use their youth players instead? Or is that too left field?
  11. Day 9 added: bought quite a few of them.
  12. Snow backdrop in nice today.
  13. I have bought other items from HK without a problem, though never this large. I explicitely checked the sellers feedback rating and looked for and found positive feedback from people in europe buying the same item. If I could have got it without importing I would have but a similar item in the UK would have set me back several hundred pound more if not twice the price so I decided to take the risk, unfortunately.
  14. Okay I have tried to open a dispute on paypal about this but it says I can't as I have an ebay dispute open. Anyone know if I close the dispute on ebay if I can open it on paypal or if I close it and I closing all my stable doors?
  15. Had not thought to look for paypal buyer protection as assumed it was all mixed in with the ebay system. I will have to investigate, thanks.
  16. I recently bought a rather heavy item (CNC milling machine if it makes any difference) from a seller in HK who has a good feedback rating for £400 + £250 postage. However when it arrived it was not new but had obviously been used and both has some damage from its use plus general wear and tear and a few bits, such as a couple of clamps and some drill bits missing. I started communicating with the seller and sent them a large number of photo's showing the damage. They however are insisting that it was new and tested when it was dispatched (plainly impossible) and that the best they were prepared to do would be to pay £25 pounds compensation (that after about 2 to 3 weeks of communications). Fed up with that I raised a dispute with ebay but they decided that it just counted as "not the item I was expecting" and that all I could do would be to send it back for a refund but that I would not get the cost of sending it back, somewhere around 200 quid, refunded. Not to mention they did not answer my question about if I would get the original postage refunded so if I do what they suggest I will be wither 200 or 450 quid out of pocket with nothing to show for it. The item will need a bit of repairing but does appear to work. At the moment I suspect my best bet is to try to get the compensation from the seller increased, possibly by stating I will leave entirely truthful negative feedback if I am not satisfied. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what to do? The item was paid via paypal so no chance I suspect of getting the money back via the credit card company from which the paypal money came.
  17. Despite the hard times I have managed to acquire footage of the pompey Christmas party showing friends old and new enjoying themselves. http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/rfiQ2coBQNtXKb8I?cmpid=ey_url or http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/QCMCFIXZ2VuYEPKo?cmpid=ey_url
  18. If you tie the new phone to the same google account then yes. One priviso is that android devices tell google market what they can do and you can only install devices on a machine that supports them. So for example if you bought an app that needed bluetooth you could not install it on a machine that did not have it.
  19. It's what they called the colour of their stadium before it rusted?
  20. No decision this meeting apparently http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/no_points_loss_verdict_for_pompey_1_3321819 No surprise there then.
  21. But does it? You have a long history as a football club but you also have a more recent history of being the object model in how things can go badly wrong for a football club. You are, like the news of the world, a tainted brand. When or if someone takes over there will be incredible speculation about why they did it given your current problems and your recent history of owners.
  22. I also read the bits that implied that it was reduced down from a total ridiculous level for the championship to just a ridiculous level. If it's not still high why did they stop paying him for a while?
  23. Personally I an quite glad we appear to have a future, how about you?
  24. I think not easy is an understatement. It was interesting in the points listed from the meeting with the club that they were very cagey about being at all specific about how long the money they have will last. Chances of it lasting long enough for a sensible bidder, even if you find one immediately, to do due diligence is small I suspect. I have this vision of pompey being at the centre of a game of dodgy character pass the parcel and the number of layers of paper is running low.
  25. Updated first post with Day 3 apps.
