Clapham Saint

You can gift as much as you like. You can only gift a certain amount TAX FREE. It used to be £3,000 p.a. but could (should) have gone up by now.

There was a chap at school who came out with a load of these including: "Guys, is Christmas on the 27th or the 28th this year?" and "Do veggie burgers have meat in them?" He's a doctor now...

Are you saying that he's toast?

Just enough to be able to know that all of the world's ills are the result of it.

I'm willing to bet that they have high earners though...

Are you saiying that waiters do their job for the love of making restaurant goers meals more enjoyable? And what are you basing your assertations regarding hedge funds on? Other than media spin of course. Like it or not hedge funds (and investment banks, high street banks, asset based lenders etc for that matter), play a vital role in the economy. Without the investment and lending that they provide businesses would find it very very dificult to expand and invest in growth, let alone start up in the first place, providing jobs, customers for other buinesses, increasing tax revenue and so on. Yes banking activity contributed to the crash, but the government knew what they were doing and were happy to encorage it whilst it brought in tax revenue (greedy should be taxed at 982374928347%) and consumers (in general) were hapy to borrow way more than they had any prospect of being able to afford to pay back (self certification mortgages). People need to step back and realisethat blindly scapegoating does not mean that bankers are evil and everyone else is a saint.

I suspect AA is on up to £500 per hour. He dooesn't work every hour of everyday on P********h but still, his fees will be a lot more than £86,000

His wife? Other than that I can't see why we or anybody else should care.

Is that picture some bloke's face photoshopped onto a woman's photo?

Iron Chancellor my hairy ****

Quite. Unless Chainrai pumps in a load of cash (or sells to somebody else that does) I'm sticking to the toast. The longer you leave it in the toaster the blacker it gets.

Rather than pay £5. Sign up to pay £5 but then call in AA and pay just £1 spread over 4 years at 25p per year. Bargain

What's the difference between Music technology and an ordinary music a level? Just curious

I did one when I was at Uni in 1999 Took some new hay fever tablets for 2 weeks and spent two afternoons at the hospital. £200. Easy money.

Eastenders?

Really?

Depreciation (spot the accountant) Edit: Damn too slow

Has anybody found a data update to bring FM2010 palyers teams etc up to date for the current season? I've been looking but can't seem to find anything. Surely somebody must have created one somewhere?

There's a diference between being "experienced" at something and "good" at it

Seconded. He is and always will be a saint. Let's get him on the banner.

Me too. It stinks but lets get back to concentrating on Saints.

Yep.

It should be specified in the CVA agreement however 99% of the time If a company subject to a CVA breaches the terms of the CVA then the CVA supervisor is obliged to seek to place the company into compulsory liquidation. The supervisor of the CVA is... Oh.

Agreed the second is unlikely to get past HMRC. To come out of Admin without the CVA they could sell the club to a new company and then liquidate the current company, with creditors (including the football creditors) getting a share of the sale proceeds in line with insolvency legislation. i.e. not preferential status for the football creditors. Of course this has a couple of big draw backs. 1) You would have to throw yourself at the mercy of the FL. I'd guess that the best case scenario (for the few) would be that they allow the transfer of the golden share but impose a points deduction and divert parachute payments until Football creditors are repaid. Worst case is expulsion from the league. Quite a risk. 2) given the above you have to persuade some sucker to actually buy the club. With the current player liabilities still on the books and no parachute money to come in it doesn't look an attractive proposition... they do have the best fans in the world ™ though I guess. You'd also have to demonstrate to the creditors that you had obtained the best value you could when selling the club to the new co so selling the club to chainrai for £1 is unlikely to work. All IMO.
