I have been fairly insulated from this recession, however, this month I have had a few hard hits. a lot of the small things I pay for have gone up much more than inflation. My £3000 postage bill has risen 30% (£900) An investment I had earning 6% ends and I can only get 4.5% to replace it. My tracker mortgage deal at 0.5% above base ends and has defaulted to standard rate at 6.25%. I should be able to clear most of the mortgage off in August when an investment pays out. Petrol and heating fuel are way up. My pension increases are now going to be tied to CPI rather than RPI, Part 2 of my pension dosent come out now untill I'm sixty bloody seven!It cost us £150 to go to hospital last week (train 2 taxis, overnight lodging) £250 on specs Stupid things like Green waste, swimming are up. Eating out seams to cost £30 a head not £20 a head... or am I going to better places? The food bill is breaking the £100 per week more often. we are growing our own bedding plants this year, not buying them in. On the good side I got a 3% pay rise. and the tax limit rose £1000 There are green shoots, however Camerons useless use of the strimmer could cut off the green shoots, Especially the 30% postage rise. That is a game changer to UK eBay sellers (and buyers!) Drought, fuel shortages. Air taxes, It all could stifle confidence. Spending and recovery.

A newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor told them, "We have special requirements for new parishioners". "You must abstain from sex for an entire month." The couple agreed and, after two-and-a-half weeks, returned to the church. When the Pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was crying, and the husband obviously was very depressed. "You are back so soon...Is there a problem?" the pastor inquired. "We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month," the young man replied sadly. The pastor asked him what happened. "Well, the first week was difficult; however, we managed to abstain through sheer will power. The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we managed to abstain. The third week, however, was unbearable". "We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible, anything to keep our minds free of carnal thoughts". "But one afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I noticed that she didn't have panties on and I was overcome with lust and I had my way with her, right then and there," admitted the man, shamefacedly. "You understand this means you will not be welcome into our church," stated the pastor. "We know," said the young man, hanging his head. "We're not welcome at B&Q anymore, either".

It dosent concern me that players are being loaned out, It does concern me WHU can overpay for a player effectivly buying 2-5 point advantage over us. They could not buy 2-5 points any other way. PFC should not be in existance. At the start of the season they had a strength they could not afford. There appears to be a panic that they cannot disapear mid season... Why not? There are rules that cover a club failing mid season. In all the lower leagues clubs fail. I funds are owed to PFC pay them, but artificially proping them up is corrupting the competition.

If the few would rather go out with their muver on mothers day rather than pack the park and TB continues to give away tickets for a quid then the sums need recalculating :-)

TB might want Pompey to exist long enough for the football creditors ruling to come out where the HMRC would receive a bigger slice of the parachute payments. I love the way that rangers players took a 75% hair cut yet Pompey players only deferred 25%.

I would have the remainder of debt against my name. PFC2010 would cease to exist. The debt would not transfer to PFC2012bluesquareleague

My thoughts The council could take compulsory purchase of the ground and they would only have to pay the true market value of the property. They would not have to pay £17m. £17m is secured against the assets of PFC2010 not the land? If PFC are toast the debenture is worthless? If a homeowner goes bust for £80k the building society sell the house at auction for what ever they can get. They don't leave it empty until someone pays £80k

When I have been to council meetings when they have discussed buying an abandoned property with compulsory purchase, they have had to identify the money for that purchase even though a developer was lined up. To purchase a leaking mid terrace property, the Leisure department had to pledge that there would be no flowers or play equipment installed that year until the property was sold on.

I will pay a fiver to keep him restricted to 3 posts a day

So thier not getting paid this month, thats why the rats are jumping ship on loan deals....... :lol: edit : "The rest would be deferred".... febs 25%, or wages beyond feb ? could be read either way

I just don't get it. What is in it for BC? The life support costs more than the pot of gold. The way PFC has been run has been excessive on and off the pitch.

I thought those temporary walls on the race circuit were meant to be made of polystyrene.

He is going to have to do a good job to get the judge to say "this is an honest man/mp " and we should believe thier story neither were driving, it was cat Tibbles.
