Hey trust me. Big business always goes to the wire. Three weeks to do a tender and we finish it at 10.20 to be delivered at 12 pm, It gets delivered at 11.56. Four months to do a tender and it is finished at 1 am the morning before. Bottom line? They will be up all night Thursday till sparrow fart on Friday morning before finishing the deal. For me this is a natural occurence.

Now at 45 %. looking good.

I'd say he is just a giant tool!!

Still at 37 % with Jenson now at 36 % I am impressed with the canvessing on here. Any chance of getting me votes for the ICE South East Construction Awards 2009 for the Bridge I built at Tangmere?

They would have to. Have you seen their women?

I do. It was Rupert Lowe on the Grassy Knoll.

The Nac Mac Feegles (also known as Pictsies, the Wee Free Men, the Little Men, 'Person or Persons Unknown, Believed to be Armed', and occasionally 'The Defendants') are a type of fairy appearing in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels

AH, ****. The old town planning debacle raises it's ugly head. The problem with such developments is the attitude and strategy of the local planning department. We built ocean village based on the fact that people who have yachts have money, and that is what we want. So, we pander to the Boat Show crowd. But they don't spend money, as the ocean village becomes a weekend/holiday haunt but these people don't go walking up the high street to buy stuff. We don't really attract the right sort for a boom. We have no beach and no large pleasure areas. To improve we would have to concentrate on what we have, and what people want. I don't know how much the boat show brings in, but I have never seen the benefit for us, and now they have cleared the kiddies park and moved it closer to the gates to get more boats in. To be really attractive we have to decide who we want to attract. We are twinned with LeHarve, which is nice, but how about us being twinned with Plymouth, Massachusettes? The Mayflower sailed from here, to there. It'll clear up a few misnomers that is for sure, and encorage a few more Americans to visit us. How about going back to the live action history walks that they used to have? Or better yet, get the bloody mass transit system proposals back on track, especially from the Station to the Stadium, and all junctions in-between. Personnaly I think we still have more to offer than Portsmouth, and we can certainly expand on that with more of a unified strategy, and less pandering to those with money who are gtoo tight to spend it. But, back on topic, I believe Sheik Peter Kay was just after a Prem outfit as well, which is what he had set his eyes on. After all, he wanted Newcastle before, why not try and buy them now, for a cut down price? Any one who is going to buy us is eithr a) A Fan looking to indulve his life long dream, or to keep his team out of the poo-poo b) Someone looking for an investment with a short term goal c) Someone who sees and opportunity for a longer term investment d) Likes a challenge, as getting us into the Prem and winning stuff would look good on a CV. I'm hoping for someone with a bit of each in him, with the Fan bit covered by a licking for a sleeping giant who has fallen on hard times. Gotta go, Quality submissions for tenders don't write themselves.

Is that a Travelling Community thing?

As the dog says OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH Yesssssssssssss

The ACPO guidance is to cover the fact that the speedometer within cars are not that accurate and there is a defence in law that you took all necessary actions to the best of your ability to comply with the law. Watching your speedometer and the road and conditions is such a defence in law, plus if there was a test done on your speedo, and it was found to be inaccurate below the speed shown, it would cast doubts on the piece of equipment used to catch you. And believe me it does. These pieces of kit are only as accurate as those using them, and it was one of my road closures that Panorama did the documentary where an expert debunked laser speed cameras. Therefore prosecutions are done on the balance that if you are above the formula, the conviction would be safe. I am not advocating anyone going down this road, as it could cost the best part of £5k-10k to prove and if you don't you will get a bigger punishment. I have done one of the Driver Awareness Courses, 34 in a 30. If I was going 1 mph slower, I wouldn't have been charged. The position of the van was also illegal, as it was parked on grass, and not on the road, and he didn't have a clear view of me, as there were trees within his view. Also I wasn't isolated in his view, as there were other vehicles and the machine, even though he may be looking at my vehicle, will lock onto the fastest speed source. I could have challenged it but didn't as I have a clean licence and like to keep it that way, and couldn't be arsed, like most people. So I took the course, which was really good, very interesting and should be part of the driving test. I couldn't put hand on heart and confess that I now drive fully within the law, but maybe a bit more clipped. Hey, I’m ITK. I'm going to carry on. Speed cameras do not save lives and they are not a safety device. The reason is if I wish to install one on a road job, I have to put forward a Business case, to prove it can pay for itself. Even if I want to put up a dummy one. The reason speed cameras are being removed is not because they have saved lives, it is because councils now only get a budget and don't get to keep the revenue, the treasury does, but they still have to pay to maintain them. Another reason for the fall in statistics is not because of reduction in speeding, it is because new EMA and SMA asphalt and anti skid coatings of the carriageways, plus major refurbishments that have gone on over the past 5 years. They have concentrated on speeding and the biggest road crime, which is on the up, is Drink driving. I have had 3 incidents on the motorways, and my company 11, in 5 years because of drink drivers. One feller drove through my cones, almost took out my workforce and hit an excavator. We caught him and asked him why, and his response is, 'As long as your car is in good nick, the lights work, you have tax,insurence and MOT, and you DON'T speed, whose going to catch you, there are no rozzers around even if you are driving all over the road.' With logic like that how can you argue? Anyway, after what I have said, don't speed please, especially on the Motorway. I work next to vehicles going at 70, 80, 90 miles and hour, and all that I have to protect me and the boys are two lines of plastic, 1m high, 1.2m apart. And I have seen the aftermath of speeding and it isn’t nice.

Very sorry to hear. It was no age, really. RIP and god bless his family

I'm sorry, but with the 30 odd bids, wasn't this wittled down to two through the process of carrying out a 'Reality and Sustainability Check'? So I think that blows the root of your statement out of the water. Sorry and all that.

Sorry, I missed this one. Someone shoot me, please.

Yeh, we should be so lucky!!!! Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Sorry. I'll get my coat. I have had the devil in me all day today.

NEWS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maddonna has expressed an interest in adopting Bradley Wright Phillips.

And OZ is another reason why Cousins shouldn't marry

Aha. Touche. Woot out to you, St.Bart

Marc Jackson is a good example of why cousins shouldn't marry.

Wow, not only are we to have an ice rink, but genetic mutants as well!!!!! I suggest if the Monkey/Chicken is a success, we start breeding Monkey/Butlers.

You have upset me, Art. I mean. Where is your cake recommendation. There was a time when Admins were Admins, men were men, sheep were frightened, and you could count on your fellow posters for a cake recommendation, or at least a flan or a dessert. That is how to fight wind up rumers, with Irony, sarcasm, and a good slice of Victoria Sponge.

**** me. I could build that!!!!! Although I would express caution against the Cherry tree, as the introduction of it could cause ground shrinkage, and finally subsidence, without careful consideration of the ground water situation. If Le Tiss gets in - Do it on cost plus fixed percentage fee (say 4%). If anyone related to Lowe gets in - £130 million plus 51% shares in the football club on an NEC re-measure contract.

There are bids from Pinnacle Jackson Quintero Meon Havenger Siddley Max Aterstan The Linus Brothers Ray Ransom, (Of R&W) The Bendell Consortium S&D Winchester UPN Tillhill Martin Von Buren Sophacles Turhan Mustapha Southampton resource and Investment Group CDC Hughes and Salvidge Mass Industries The Roundt-Mullen Consultancy The Greek Twenty And many other companies, consortia and individuals that i could include from the recessess of my tiny little mind, due to the fact that I am a little bit disolutioned with what others post. And also the fact that I wish I was in the know, but don't have the gene missing in my make up that makes me either very gullible, or who wish the attention. But this doesn't include those that actually are ITK who have a track record in these things and who's information is appreciated, although the 'I can't reveal my HP and Daddies' is very much understood, but can be very frustrating.

Yesterday I had some Victoria sponge. It was nice. Have some Victoria Sponge. I can truly recommend it.

Yeh, well, goodbye, and thanks for all the fish! No matter what happens I am just happy in the mindset that there were a large number that were interested, and they have been wittled down to a few.
