Whitey Grandad

Could be, these sort of games go on all the time.

Me too. That was two gallons of petrol. I offered a checkout girl in a supermarket 'tuppence' to make the change simpler. She didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Good, that's one step nearer.

As you wish, but if they weren't European they wouldn't be immigrants. Unnecessary though, I'll grant you. (No pedantry about the rest of the world please)

Mr Poulter probably stopped her pay for the time she couldn't work.

No, 5 o'clock for some reason.

Just checking. That definition applies to anybody and everybody in the world so if you go looking for racism you'll find it everywhere.

Do we get all of him or is his head somewhere else?

Is your boss a Saints fan and does he drop in on this forum?

Is being European a race now?

Yep. This one is at least.

Two bob in my day and we used them all the time. The early ones were pure silver (pre 1920 something) then they went to 50% before the nickel-copper. When the silver price rose all the early ones disappeared for some reason.

True, they could. Wasn't he on holiday for a while? I would expect they waved a list in front if him first though.

Thanks, we shall need to turn up early anyway as the intention is to kit out the two kiddies and I suppose granddad will be paying

I wonder if he could manage a hat trick at Anfield? Bugger, I've just remembered that one of them is out injured

Have you seen what our Brigitte looks like now? Just a thought....

That's the general idea with freebies. It's a good deal for the player.

Thanks Brian. You slip into the background and ever too soon you are gone. RIP

What a coincidence. I was discussing all this sort of thing with my company accountant yesterday. If there's anything in my contributions that you disagree with then I'll be please to explain. Thanks Hypo. I was never confused until I started to try to explain things on here I blame SadOldGit and his obsession with all things tottyish.

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.
