How long since the manager started?

They have, they're giving him away for free.

Sad, isn't it. Accountancy is just part of my daily remit but I'm in the middle of a tax investigation at the moment and we are at issue over Annual Investment Allowance and Writing-Down Allowances so it's a touchy subject.

Apparently we still owe quite a bundle for the players we bought last summer.

Best avoided without a full credit history.

Their value goes into the company books at the value purchased even though we will be paid on easy terms. If the company makes a profit, which it may do if the value of the balance sheet has increased, then there may be tax due on that profit and the taxman doesn't normally accept IOUs.

I'm hoping to go with my daughter and her family. It will be the first time at St Marys for the two youngsters, five o'clock kick off isn't it?

Rachel Stevens (I believe, but worth seeing anyway)

You're going to have trouble posting links with Hilary W***fest in the name

Béârsy Wouldn't that be pronounced 'be arsey'? Yeah, makes sense.

Do your urges extend to accurate spelling?

That's certainly not the job of the board. They employ managers for that sort of thing.

How so? To Saints or to Celtic? I need to know desperately before I go out this morning and somebody sees me.

But what about us older folk? Can't we have something to lust after, someone with whom we might have a chance, no matter how small?

Thanks MLT. I'll wait patiently until they are revealed and in the meantime get on with my life

Dead boring.

Why would they do that, had they run out of embalming fluid?

That's right, highly contagious but not usually infectious.

And you have less chance of catching Osvalditis. I was thinking particularly in terms of player commitment but where there is an option to buy the player usually has an incentive to perform well. When you know that they are going back to their parent club at the end of the season it's harder to form an emotional attachment.

I thought the past participle of tweet was twát?

These days there's very little difference between loans and purchases, it's like the difference between buying a car outright or on lease purchase and often there are very good accountancy reasons for preferring them, maybe because you don't want a capital asset on your books.

These boroughs are geographically smaller than many conurbations in the rest of the country. South Hampshire is 8th on this list with over 1.5 million people: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_the_United_Kingdom Provincial is a term used by Londonders to describe any area outside the M25.

I suppose I mean, what does it matter?

The board is what it is. Where does trust come into it?

Michelle's not bad at 70 though.
