  1. and suddenly you believe Piers Morgan ?
  2. prob best search the web rather than me posting it here and getting the site in trouble
  3. Woooo .. did Davies just confirm the Steven Gerard rumour there inadvertently ? (made mention to him hiring the fancy high priced lawyer)
  4. I like James Murdoch .. clearly a smart guy and a bit slippery wonder if Blair briefed him on how to lie at an enquiry ?
  5. guess we could also add taking oneself far too seriously too the list anyhows must dash have to write 67 pages on the use of an apostrophe ....
  6. Turning your back on the labour party if the rumours are to be beleived the richer you are the lighter the sentence
  7. Seems we may get our wish ... Piers Morgan come on down ?
  8. Rowan Atkinson as Ed Milliband :-)
  9. they also turned down a £12m bid in Jan from Newcastle ..guess only Whelan knows what goes on inside that mind of his
  10. Tony. Considering. Learning.... French.... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: know thy enemy and all that ..besides think how satisfying it could be to insult them in their own language :winkold: was the same in Tonga and a few of the other Islands out that way i visited funnily enough , everything is being built by the Chinese there as well would be quite amusing to think that Chinese could take over from English as the universal language

    have to say I didn't when I first saw it last year but just looked again on the web page and it doesn't look soo bad in the pictures ... the dark blue /black on the web page looks quite tasty

    This but look at the XF , i bought mine because well because it wasn't a Jag in the traditional sense that you need a pork pie hat and tweed jacket to drive one ...but more importantly it also wasn't a BMW or Merc which the whole world and his dog drive around my neck or the woods .. first few months i had the car people would come up to me every time i went food shopping or down the pub and say .. Nice car etc etc .. to a degree even now 3 years on when they are more common people still notice it ... and I thought that new Jag from last night falls in the same category
  13. Young had 1 year left and went for £16m I would Guess Wigan would feel Zog is worth somewhere close ... I should imagine £12m will seal the deal .. or we wait until Aug 31st and hope we can get him for £10m

    I bet a few of you were straight out with your calculators working out Mays 25 mph over an 8 mile stretch v Clarkson getting up to 80 mph , factoring in the head start and getting ready to say clearly Clarkson overtook him after 3.1miles where D = S x T dictates that he shouldn't have overtaken him until 3.21 miles *.... Top gear has always been scripted and Tbf there aren't many shows where the punchline isn't blatantly obvious ... of course the chip pan was always going to be going up , even the scattered packets and debris in the buffet car were obviously arranged on the floor by someone but that didn't make it a bad sketch ... More importantly they started to review some decent cars of late , the M1 , the new Range Rover .. affordable cars rather than super cars that appear to have been designed for people with garish taste * made up figures before some pedant even bothers :-)
  16. I don't do a lot of business in china ... Would be more for something to do and could also use it on my travels as well
  17. I'm thinking of enrolling for a language class in September torn between Arabic and Mandarin at the moment ... As i'm not that good at languages and paying attention when being given instruction , should I start with French where I've already got a very limited understanding from my schoolboy days and thus will make progress faster ..or should i take the plunge on Arabic ?
  18. i liked that film , knew nothing about it when i watched so was pleasantly surprised ... made me fall in love with Maggie Gyllenhall I thought she was just so perfect will have to dig it out and give it another viewing sometime
  19. The local thieves didn't take long to find out that if you scan the items and place them in your bag it deactivates the alarm on the bar code even though at that point you haven't paid , and then you can just pickup your bag and walk out without the alarms going off maybe they have fixed that flaw now , anyone want to give it a go and let me know how they get on ?
  20. maybe we could have a new thread on who is the ultimate internet warrior and leave this thread to it's original intent which was to slag off Cameron ?
  21. You must be the first person on VT to not blame it on Thatcher .....
  22. ditto I don't bank with them but they used to take the money from your bank account when you traded but now you have to have deposited the funds into your Share deal account before you can buy ... so you either have to leave some cash in your account for impulse buys or transfer some money wait until it reaches the Halifax and then purchase your shares ...
  23. at £13.40 a share i'm not sure his £200 investment will see a lot of return ?? I invested some money a few years back and split it over various shares ( even made money on the Villa takeover , bought at £2.19 , got out at £3.30 Thanks Randy :-) ) most of my purchases are based on picking up snippets on the news or forums or sensing that something is "good value" ..I.e I invested in BP just after the oil leak when the share priced plummeted ... currently up around £1.20 a share on that deal .. took a punt on RBS at 24p a share , sold at 45.93p just over 2 months later , took the gamble mainly on the basis that the Govt weren't going to let any banks fail if I had to punt now something like BSkyB would be one that I would be doing my homework on ... recently £8.50 a share now trading at £6.99 a share ... read up on them and try and figure are the shares likely to dip a bit further and then you can get in and invest for long term or work out if the share price will have a short term spike / rally on Pension funds and other speculators snapping up at what they feel is a good price and making a quick profit .. and if you find the secret and can get it right each time then put it in a bottle and sell it :-) of course not all deals return a profit but hopefully your good deals will outweigh your bad ones ... the trick is not to get carried away and invest money you can't afford to lose ... Usually i set an out price and I am very good at sticking to it , a small profit in the bank is better than a huge paper profit that then disappears overnight
