This situation was started in General Sports about 30 minutes before this thread so why have we got 2 threads ???

Phil, you are getting me worried now that Pompey might be saved and keep in the PL. :( Also they might be able to keep their few good players and beat us in the Cup :(

At the moment Air NZ charge approx 5000 NZ Dollars for a premium economy return seat Auckland to London. For business it's approx 10,000 NZ Dollars return and they say they think this new economy seat will be about 7000 NZ Dollars. At the moment 10000 dollars will buy 4325 UK Pounds, but 4325 Pounds will only buy 9375 NZ Dollars. I never did understand these exchange rates Here are the seats in Business class on an Air NZ Boeing 777 http://www.flatseats.com/Reviews/nz-spc-1.htm .

I thought both sides had to agree on the prices ?

Lie-flat seats in economy class will be a reality on long-haul Air New Zealand flights, but passengers will have to buy two and a half seats first. The airline has unveiled its new design for its Boeing 777-300 cabin. The planes, which come on stream late this year, feature the pod-style "Skycouch", which is a specially designed row of three seats, providing a lie-flat space all the way to the seat-back in front. Passengers will have to buy two seats at standard price and the third seat at approximately half price. Twenty-two Skycouch seats will be available in the first 11 window rows of the economy class cabin. The full details of the airfares will be announced in late April. The airline is also overhauling its premium economy area with what it calls "Spaceseats" which will offer more leg room, comfort and an on-demand food and beverage service. CEO Rob Fyfe says the new dining arrangement will be a unique feature. The first routes to offer travellers the new long haul features will be selected NZ5 and NZ6 services between Auckland and Los Angeles from December followed by dedicated return services on NZ1 and NZ2 between Auckland and Los Angeles and through to London from April 2011. http://nz.travel.yahoo.com/100125/7/gvjs.html :cool:

By Paul Lewis and Graeme Hill 1:17 PM Sunday Jan 24, 2010 They found it in the back of a butcher's shop in Australia, so the story goes. What the very first car that Bruce McLaren ever built was doing among sausages and cuts of lamb isn't known but the rather beautiful Cooper T70 has a meaty place in history: it is the car that created one of the great motor racing companies. McLaren the F1 team is still going strong, of course. Adam Berryman, the 41-year-old Melburnian who owns this original of originals was going strong too as he enjoyed an afternoon at Hampton Downs in the festival which is celebrating Bruce McLaren this weekend and next. "My dad found it," said Berryman yesterday. "No one wanted a 10-year-old racing car that wasn't competitive and wasn't historic." But it was. McLaren in 1964 was a works driver for Cooper, the famous UK-based outfit whose name is still enshrined in the Mini Cooper. He may always have been a works driver had it not been for his wish for Cooper to win the Australasian motor series of the day - the Australian Grand Prix, the New Zealand Grand Prix and the Tasman series. "Bruce looked at the F1 cars and figured they'd be too heavy and too slow for the series out here," said Berryman, whose father Richard recognised the history behind the cars in the butcher's shop. "Bruce wanted a lighter, faster machine. "In the end, John Cooper persuaded his father Charles to give young McLaren his head - and the Cooper T70 was born ... even though it was designed, built and financed by McLaren but using Cooper resources.

AAP January 20, 2010, 1:17 pm Obese people who are unable to squeeze into a single seat will have to pay more on Air France-KLM. Obese people who are unable to squeeze into a single plane seat will have to pay nearly double to fly with Air France-KLM in future, the company says. Extra-large flyers will have to pay 75 per cent of the cost of a second seat (the full price excluding tax and surcharges) on top of the full price for the first, spokeswoman Monique Matze said on Tuesday, saying the decision was made for "safety" reasons. "We have to make sure that the backrest can move freely up and down and that all passengers are securely fastened with a safety belt," said Matze. People who cannot fit into a single seat are fastened by slotting the belt tip of one seat into the plug of the next - stretching over both seats. By paying for both, the overweight passenger will be assured that two seats will be available next to each other. They will, however, get their money back on flights that are not fully booked, said Matze. The new measure will apply for people who book their tickets from February 1 for all flights from April 1 this year. The average plane seat is 43 centimetres wide - 44 centimetres for long haul flights. http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/mp/6698753/air-france-klm-to-start-obesity-charge/

Talking of Keynsham anyone else remember the advert on Radio Luxemburg about Horace Batchelor something to do with Football Pools ?

I have to confess that this poem about a woman in January is not my work. Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house, Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I'd nibbled, the chocolate I'd taste At the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber), I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared, The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please." As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt And prepared once again to do battle with dirt... I said to myself, as I only can, "You can't spend a Summer, disguised as a man!" So, away with the last of the sour cream dip. Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip. Every last bit of food that I like must be banished Till all the additional ounces have vanished. I won't have a cookie, not even a lick. I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick. I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie. I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry. I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore... But isn't that what January is for? Unable to giggle, no longer a riot. Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.

Now they are claiming that they don't owe Gaydamak any money Yoram Yossifoff, advisor to owner Ali Al-Faraj, said: "Ali bought 90 per cent of the shares in Portsmouth from Sulaiman Al-Fahim not Gaydamak. That £28m is not a Portsmouth debt." ALSO But while Al-Faraj is bullish, boss Avram Grant admits he does not have a clue what is going on at the club. Grant was stunned to discover that David James' proposed free transfer to Stoke had fallen through. And he admitted: "I honestly don't know what is happening. "I never gave the go-ahead for James to go to Stoke and I want him to stay. Nobody spoke with me about this." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2810586/Faraj-Owe-no-we-dont.html

Yes of course, now that you said that I agree I must have given the skates too much credit :D Actualy I don't mean that I lent them money, no-way would I do that !!!

Perhaps I did, but on re-reading I am still too dim to understand

How much for a bike !!!! Dear oh dear my first brand new bike cost 19 pounds and I thought that was expensive. Mind it did have lights but not the 3 speed gears One small point this was in 1961

Erm do you mean a ? rather than that ! ??? I also note that Storyteller says that "They TRY", not that they actually did help with the Bank charges. I bet the staff are looking for new jobs, poor souls.

Probably not as I think it is a private matter and not really to do with PFC

I am probably very wrong but I thought that the loans were secured against a couple of TV money payments. I think the next one due in the coming summer as well as the one just taken by the PL ?
