Apocalypto is on Netflix. Recommended for anyone who wants to watch something genuinely unhinged.

Wonderful film. 

Genuinely don't care either way to be honest. My happiness or well-being is not defined by Aston Villa's league position. Yes its nice when we win and yes it makes me cross when we lose but there really is more to life.

Coupled with the shower of shite on the pitch  is a growing sense of disconnection with PL football and its excesses so a few seasons in a lower league will (hopefully) be interesting and infinitely more enjoyable. 

It means I can go away to Fulham too which I've always found to be a very pleasant day out.

The richest period in the history of football for clubs, and this man put us in debt, started cost cutting and relegated us. Worse than Ellis for those and many other reasons. If Lerner told me it was going to rain, I'd go out in summer clothes.

All to himself - as part of the standard approach taken by wealth chairmen upon take over. 

You think Abramovich as actually put his own money in Chelsea? Or Man City? Not a chance. The investment goes into the business in the form of loans - there will be little or no personal exposure to any form of financial disaster should it befall the club. 

There are plenty of sticks with which to beat Lerner but investing in the club/chucking money at us isnt the biggest or the most troubling. 

There is no way ANY 3 year old should be taken to ANY 12A film. 

If you look at the BBFC guidelines about 12A they basically say - "we think noone under 12 should see this, but we recognise that parents know their own children better than us and so feel a degree of flexibility is appropriate."

Garde sees him everyday playing against premier league players in training. Scoring against championship u21 defenders is hardly going to make him change his mind if he's not seeing what he wants to see in training. 

I think it's pretty obvious Kozak is not good enough at this level.

Unusually I agree with you. This is how I read the situation too. 

Garde has had a look - doesn't like what he sees and will move him on in January. Shame because Libor hasn't really done anything "wrong" for us and probably hasn't had a fair crack of the whip. 

I think the trouble is they are now attracting a different type of bellend to the process than they were before the rule change. 

With the offer of a job there was a need to actually have some substance - to be bellend with something resembling talent - what they are after now is a bellend with an idea or even better a patent.  

Mr Bland you are a gentleman and a scholar. I will try what you have suggested. Many thanks. 

I will try again tonight but I'm pretty sure I've already tried that and it prompts me for the icloud/find my iphone password and won't complete the process without it. 

The phone is unlocked to any network already

Lived in Kent for a bit, they referred to pop as a can of drink. Freaks.

I live in Kent (although Midlander by birth) Pop is absolutely a midlands thing and reminds me of my Grandma.

Ah, understood. It's not really that you need the iCloud account deleted at all - that's just an interpretation of the situation that's not accurate. You need the phone to be treated as if it has been sold to a new user (Mum), but the old user (deceased Brother [sympathies]) has forgotten to erase it, in essence. 

So, can you access the phone settings, or are you locked out of the phone? if you can then you may be in luck. If you can't you'll need apple to sort it, I think. - because you basically want the phone restored to factory settings, in reality - as if it were a fresh phone, so then it can be set up for the new user (your Ma). The phones are as far as I know, if it's a recentish model highly resistant to thieves resetting them.

I'd maybe contact apple and put the question differently - tell them the situation that you just want to rest the phone and to set it up for a new owner. that might make it easier for them?

I can access the phone's settings yes - his passcode was easy to guess.

Yeah its a 6 running iOS 9.2 as of yesterday. (I know its not currently possible to jailbreak 9.2) 

I've tried Apple over several weeks and yeah - they've not been forthcoming - hence the "**** you I'll jailbreak it option) 

Given that we are sat halfway through the season on a grand total of 6 points, and factoring in an upturn in form I'm going to say 15. 

Thanks for the response Blandy - I haven't given a full enough explanation. 

I don't have the password for the iCloud account. Its not my phone - it was my brothers. I want my mum to be able to use it but also want to do a full reset before she does. 

I've logged it as a support call with Apple who won't delete the iCloud account - they have been given copies of the death certificate and proof that I am responsible for my brother's estate (although there is no grant of Probate because it isn't needed). Apple won't do it for Data Protection Act reasons (which is clearly bollocks)

Anyway - all that explains the need or desire to jailbreak to delete the iCloud account from the phone so I can factory re-set it, unjailbreak it and then give it to mother. 

Hope that all makes sense.

And again, only in in English please? i.e. - are you asking if jail breaking will delete an iCloud account, or asking whether it will empty the cloud of data (leaving the account in existence and accessible), or are you asking how to "clear" an account? and what do you mean by "clear an account" anyway? 

The first one. - will jailbreaking delete an iCloud account - or at least make is possible to do so. 

Anyone know or have experience of jailbreaking an iphone can clear an existing icloud account? 

Human society has thrown up an abundance of fetid arseholery. This thread is not for them. Stalin, Hitler, Nigel Farage, Ghandi et al have no place here. 

This thread are for those who by poor choices, bad planning or ill concieved ideas conspire to make our lives and daily ineractions that tiny bit more difficult. 

My contribution to this ignoble list? 

The person who decided that "backspace" should send you back a page on web browsers. Nobody wants this. Nobody asked for it. We just want to correct our spelling. Humankind is destined to waste hours of its existance swearing and clicking "forward" only to be faced with the prospect of re-writing that genius, thread defining post we had almost finished. 

What a bastard.

No need to reclaim it. The women can keep that filth.

It makes a change to get a party leader with principles rather than revolting oleaginous phonies like Blair and Cameron.

 

The last one of those we had was Thatcher.

15 years minimum.

Abolutely the right decision. 

He won't get 15 years. That's the maximum available for his conviction, he's already served one and has profound disabilities. I'm betting 10-12 years. 

Yes almost certainly.

What's the story with 'common law partner' in Britain?  One definition of common law is that it "refers to a person who is living in a conjugal relationship with another person (opposite or same sex), and has done so continuously for a period of at least one year".  If that definition applied in Britain then it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he would take on some (i.e. more than zero) responsibility for the kids aswell.  Definitely something to get clarified before it bites you in the ass.

From the CAB

Essentially unless he has signed a "cohabitation contract" or similar he has no responsibility whatsoever for her or the children.

Hoping the great minds of VT can help here...

 

My brother has been in a relationship with a (crazy) woman since about April this year. Because of her circumstances shall we say he moved her and her 2 kids in pretty much straight away.

 

Its one of these really unhealthy on-off-on-off relationships which is currently in the off cycle. As they all live together he never gets shut of her before she ends up worming her way back in...

 

One thing that concerns me is any legal responsibility he may have, or soon have over the children. Is there a point in time where he will become legally obliged to financially support the children? For example, after they've been living with him for 12 months will he become financially/legally obliged to put a roof over their heads?

 

Any ideas?

Nope. Her kids her problem - he has no legal rights in relation to them at all unless he has 1) adopted them or 2) been granted Parental Responsibility

Except in one area. If the children are living with him he is responsible under s444 of the 1996 Education Act for their regular attendance at school. 

As long as he doesn't abuse/rape them and gets them to school on time he's golden.
