Oh do stop this tiresome drivel. Do you think corporate insolvencies are done and dusted in a couple of weeks? They are screwed. They were never likely to get wound-up as a result of HMRC's petition; they were always likely to enter admin first. The only reason some people, including me, thought they might actually get wound-up at that point was because the people pulling the strings have a criminal past and genuinely didn't seem to give two hoots what happened. They are clearly screwed. Unless you think someone uber-rich is going to buy them, they will be screwed for years.

Wow, I think that's what those in certain professions call a "breakthrough". Have you been having counseling/treatment?

I see it as emminently sensible. Good for you.

Hahaha. Quality ****-take.

Absolutely. It comes to something when you have to keep an obnoxious, disgusting, hypocritical, thick slob like Prescott around just to maintain a veneer of having not completely abandoned your principles.

Your comment certainly is. Explain the logic then: Chief Exec made loads of money > we should renationalise the gas industry. I can't see the jump myself.

I've no idea. Most "bankers" don't need supporting. I presume you have a counter-argument then or would you just prefer to say something glib about Thatcher or some other by-gone age?

Why? The public sector can't run a **** up in a brewery. This is the sad jealousy of the Labour supporters. Someone earnt loads of money therefore it must be bad and some of it should have gone to some little oik somewhere. It is a complete drop in the ocean of the amount of money wasted on stupid and poorly executed plans by the public sector year on year.

Was the stuff about Down's funny?

Yes, woe betide fostering a culture that supports achievement and ambition rather than stealing from the succesful to support the weak.

You ok?

Hehe.

Oh, yeah, nudge nudge, wink wink. "Pinball engineer" eh?

Scab!!! :mad:

I think the point is that we won't win if the players adopt that attitude.

Nineteen Canteen has just sent me a telegram and asked me to post this: The following are bad: Matt Le Tiss Golf Papa Waigo Lawrie McMenemy The following are good: Pompey's fans Keyboard thumping

Yes, I'm not disputing that. I'm saying that I hope people have a better reason for this allegiance than "habit" which is, IMO, a pathetic reason. If by habit, one means a lasting support of the fundamental principles of what that party stands for, irrespective of the viccissitudes of life etc., then I have no problem with that. It does demand that one continues to assess whether the party still stands for what it used to, as per BTF's post above. Personally, my ideology is probably most closely aligned with the Tories but I've never actually voted for them in an election. This year I will vote Lid Dem because it will be a battle between them and Labour where I live.

2001 I voted Green. Last time I didn't bother. This time I will vote Lib Dem.

That's horrific. Those two gimps aren't fit to lace Ant and Dec's boots.

Sounds like it! I checked the date on the article and it's not 1 April.

Ahh, the unbelievable tekkers of football contracts expert and government Tsar, Peter Storrie, manifests itself again beautifully.

Exactly. Unless you are confident Huddersfield will win every match then at some point there will be an opportunity to close the gap and put the pressure on. We have to make sure we're ready to capitalise, just in case a chance materialises. They could lose a key player in a match, score a freak own goal, whatever. I'm not going to book a hotel for the play-offs final but I think we have a team capable of getting the results we need so we have to make sure we do that without worrying about the other teams' results.

Gaydamak is very important. Let's not forget that the land he owns around Fratton has nothing to do with his debt either so he can continue to make things awkward if he wants.

What is it with the city of Birmingham? Villa's support is generally poor given their consistent top-half finishes. BIrmingham City's support is utter gash.

Yes, this is correct. The "football creditors rule" has no direct legal effect, much like the "Fit and Proper Persons Test".
