Smith to keep his job? They have a bonkers owner don't they?

Ian and Mo clearly aren't very happy

White collar gangsters in my opinion. Should have criminal charges against them. Sorry for going off topic. But back on topic, the Chinese have serious clout to muscle into any market they like, eg automotive.

Exactly the same thing happened in the telecoms sector 15-20 years ago when Huawei appeared on the scene. All the established players (Nokia/Ericsson) got squeezed out. Now we're spending millions ripping it all out to put (you guessed it) Nokia and Ericsson kit back in.

Corridors of Power: Should America Police the World? On iplayer. Very very interesting series but it does contain some of the most disturbing footage I've seen on television (and I've watched countless holocaust documentaries). Well worth a watch, but not for the faint hearted.

With all the cash those Solihull MILFs have, those cars must be flying off the forecourt (and the Porsche dealership over the road)

I work just off Cranmore Blvd, so have passed this place during its construction a fair bit. I often thought in these tough times this area really needs an Aston Martin dealership, lo and behold one pops up.

Pearl Jam & Nirvana tributes on at The Flapper (in town, yes I know, no vilers) this Friday. All for £12. Bargain.

Record is 2 or 3 at my place. People seem to check your calendar for a double booking before sending the invite at my place.

I have a box of tissues on standby to hear Gary Neville's post match thoughts.

Quality. Some great characters in that highly underrated show.

My place has 3 dentists and a couple of hygenists on the go. My back of fag packet calculations reckon each one could generate £2k per day for the practice. Good money if you can get it. I went to school with a fella who ended up being a Dentist. Years later I saw his name in the local paper due to being sent down for fraud. Basically billing the NHS for loads of people from an old folks home who turned out to have died years ago.

FTFY

Private dentistry in the UK is legalised racketeering. Hundreds of pounds for minutes of work, the profit margins must be huge.
