Dune, are you a member of the EDL?

A brighton fan in our office looks like he's going to explode every time we talk about football. He went especially mental after Adkins said that every team in this league considers us to be their cup final, insisting that "not to us it isn't we're top of te league". I've tried to explain that it was probably intended as more of a general comment rather than referring to EVERY team but he's not having any of it. I've considered telling him about the "We're Southampton we do what we want" chant but I think he'd actually sh*t his pants in the middle of the office.

The change in our play when he went off last night was quite alarming. Why does nobody else seem to want to drive the ball forward into the box?

I'm in!

It could be worse. I've just had a meeting booked in for 5.30 near st pauls. I think I need to be out of the building by 7 to male the 19.17 from london bridge. Its going to be very close. If anybody sees an overweight, out of breath chap in a suit show up late, that's probably me.

Just got home and tested to see how hot its getting and it does seem to have got very hot very quickly. I can't see any obvious blockage on the fan outlet grill. Is it worth opening everything up to see if I can find anything blocked? I'd be quite wary of my fat fingers breaking something. Is it usually possible to buy a more powerful fan? I guess it depends on the model.

Thanks Hutch, I should have said that its a laptop so opening the case is a little tricky. It has been running reasonably hot recently I suppose but it isn't always hot when the flickering starts. if I alt tab away from the game then the flickering seems to stop.

My screen has started a weird flickering. I am getting an irregular black flickering when playing games. Almost the whole screen (all except the top cm or so) flashes black, for just a fraction of a second. It can happen anything from 10 minutes or so apart to just a few seconds and although not making the machine unasable is increadibly annoying. I don't think (although I'm a complete IT dunce) its a hardware issue as it is limited to when I'm playing games. Could it be some sort of clash between direct x and something else that's running in the background? It happens even if the game is the only program actively running. Any ideas guys? Any help much appreciated. CS

If your P60 says that you paid no tax then as far as hmrc are concerned you haven't paid anything and so you're unlikely to get anywhere. You best bet is to try and get hold of somebody at boots (good luck) to challenge what they've paid you. If you can show them your P60, the discrepancy with your monthly pay slips and show that the amounts hitting your account match the pay slips (from which tax was wrongly deducted) you might get somewhere but its likely to be a struggle.

Nope. If you've stopped working (which I'm guessing from your post) then you need a P50 http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/pdfs/p50.pdf

Do you have a P60 for the 09/10 tax year from boots? It should be very easy to reclaim. You can fill in a reclaim form fairly easily. from recollection you need an R80 form but I'll try and take 5 minutes to check later on today. Drop me a pm if you need a hand.

And his swiss cheese hat that he wore to every game

And don't forget his swiss cheese hat!

Poll?

Has to be marcus. White hair, stuff a pillow up the inside of you shirt (if required) adopt a HUGE grin and wave toblerone boxes in the air. The chants of "win ot for marcus" won't stop all day

Do you have a link for the level 10 database?

+1 Didn't actually see any more coverage than normal

36:32.... "come on the cherries" from the grinning, face-painted moron is a particular highlight

You're assuming that Dr Fatty wasn't (isn't) an idiotic gob****e. I can beleive that he could get his hands on a loan of £5m-£10m if only on a short term basis. I would guess that he then shat himself when he had to find the funds to pay it back and was forced to sell again. the 5% was only ever a token gesture to allow him to pretend that he hadn't done a stupid deal and attempt to save face. Regardless of anything else I beleive that Sasha is a LOT more on the ball than fatty and will not have given the club away without being paid something.

Naivety doesn't really come into it. I was just stating facts (as best we know them anyway). If you have the time you can almost certainly find out how much Dr fatty paid by trawling back through this thread. From recolection it was £5m - £10m but am happy to be corrected. Do you really think that Sasha will have given him the club for nothing? As for the liquidators report, if you read what I wrote you'll see that we actually agree. The consideration is all deferred and none has yet been paid. I wouldn't be at all surprised if none is ever paid. EDIT: Actually, being honest saying that I'm stating "Facts" is probably a bit OTT. It is possible that no money changed hands but I doubt it.

Dean, * It looks like this is a great day for our businesses! * They are very keen to work with you and are even prepared to make a payment for fees upfront as a gesture of goodwill. * Could you let me have your bank details and I will arrange for the initial payment of £1,000,000,000 to be made immediately. * They will also need to confirm your identity when they speak to you directly (for security reasons) and so could you let me know your mother’s maiden name and the name of your first pet so that I can load the security questions into their system, as per the required protocols. * *In great anticipation of your rapid and prompt response, * Yours respectfully, * Lagos Saint

Just bought 3. Sounds as though there are a few left but running low

I've had the below from human resources at BP! Very flattered that I'm on their radar but it does seem a shame that they don't seem to realise that I'm an accountant...

Dr fatty paid. I forget how much (and can't be bothered to dig back that far), remember that during the first few weeks / days the few thought the saviuor had finally arrived with his billions. Sasha definately didn't let him have it for nothing. When dr fatty sold to the invisible man he also made a huge deal out the "fact". That he had made a profit. Although I seem to recall that this was only due to him retaining a 5% or so stake. Chinny didn't pay anything to mirage, and hasn't yet paid anything to the administrator.

They've been taken over 3 (possibly 4) times 1) Dr (LOL) Al fatty 2) Mirage 3) Chinny 4) Chinny again buying them out of admin They are clearly a very attractive prospect. Imagine what could have happened if they had a half decent stadium or, god forbid, some fans to even begin to fill one.
