actually, i've got one post left (this one). Counting to three is a bit of a challenge for our chin, bless. So, in order...
obs - yep. How much would you like to wager?
smirkingsaint - no idea. figure if confidentiality was such a big deal he would've asked his nearest and dearest to be more discreet. i got this info completely un-prompted from somone who's not a footie fan but knows i am and assumed i knew. think if you venture out into the forest you'll find this is pretty common knowledge. Dont think for a minute that a leak on here will register so figured i'd pass it on (maybe help with the impatience given the size of the prize)...
Soton Joe - all yours mate. not trying to score any points, just thought folk would like to know. you are the ITK king!
Chin - assuming the deal completes and the names go public in time, beers on OBS friday?
