Didn't Bleasedale write it in 1978 about a tarmacing gang from liverpool, hence Yossers accent.

I think he can get most of the way there with the RNC - or if not - at least have enough assets to get an insurer to come close to posting the rest of the bond.

In a twisted way, we can only hope that he actually uses the RNC to pay the bonds and delay the asset forfeiture.

Because as close as the polling is, if the DNC can use their money to get out the vote and ad buys, that extra 1-2% of effort might actually win the election while the Trumps use the RNC to continue paying their legal fees instead of using it for ads, registrations, and GOTV.

Very good point. 

I would have thought the two on your list were quite high

Him getting the loans/bonds from Saudi Arabia would make him compromised / a security threat in the eyes of the CIA right?

Would the same would apply to Russia.

There's probably more evidence of God being real than what you claimed earlier. 

Really. I claimed nothing more than Boeing sought identity on job applications, and why do they need that.

I guess you now have to prove the existence of god,

But be careful DCJonah won't be tolerant.

I'm hoping this gets bigger and bigger with trump. I think there will be multiple unknown loans or bonds against many assets which may come out. The other side worse case could be a secret loan from Putin

No no no. You don't have to be tolerant of made up things. 

What you said is not true. The current issues with Boeing has nothing to do with this so called quota hiring you've claimed exists with zero evidence. 

 

Really you don't have to be tolerant of made up things. That's a bit archaic.

This has nothing to do with hiring quotas. It's to do with the corner cutting and demand for profits that capitalism loves more than the safety of human life. 

Boeing sold their soul when they merged years ago and this is now the price of it. 

The fact you'd try to spin this as some right wing conspiracy about hiring less qualified people on some sort of quota is laughable. 

I think this highlights CV's point about identity politics. I made a point about identity hiring and within a dozen posts it's a laughable right wing conspiracy.

As CVBurns pointed out you need to be tolerant of of other people's views those on the left do not share this concept.

Just checked, he did say he had 400m under deposition, surely that has to be perjury

Well something's going wrong in the engineering department. And as they are a manufacturer rather than commercial airline, I'm sure the pilots are mainly test pilots, reporting issues. Now I have know knowledge of the workforce, whatever the breakdown, but there is less confidence in them now reflecting in the 30% drop in share price.

Are there any airlines that have a practical demonstration of ability before they hire someone? No idea but I seriously doubt it as all candidates will have the minimum requirements of licensing by the relevant authority. What would be the reason one pilot didn't get hired over another?

One may have  5000 more air miles than the other. So loads more experience. One may have had to handle malfunctions and dealt with them.

Which is true in an ideal world. But in such large organisations, where your boss is getting hammered on quotas do you not think some people might just be looking out for themselves. And how does it work with one female and one black male. Is there some hierarchy.

Us airlines have policies for hiring pilots on qutoas. Not the best pilots.

So who would you rather fly with. The one that meets the quotas or the one with the best pilots 

Boeing has a self identifying questions to answer when applying for engineering jobs, and quotas to meet. That's not to say they don't get the best but why do they need that

I know that but hes not been poached or anything. He's been here 5 years. It's not like the league have put out targets to find the right men.

So this crisis club are likely heading for their 3rd cup final in a little over one year, as well as having qualified for the Champions League (at least once) in that same time.

What I would give for a "crisis" like that.

Well about a billion overdraft for a start then contracts with official boy paper and the like.

They do seem to be running out of steam. Basically all there subs were kids.

I think we should look at overseas refs and offer them positions. A bit like teams transfers.  A prem ref makes over £100k a year up that by 50% it'll cost the FA less than a couple of mill. If the league buys the best players from around the world, why not the best officials.

Also employ more technicians in the var room. At the moment it's a bit like watching a  granddad using tiktok.

Don't get down people. Remember for the last few years we supporters were going through similar things. Only then it was hoping man u would stuff Leeds or Liverpool would stuff Norwich or man c would stuff southampton, Christ even if Everton could get a draw with palace, it could save us. Now it's a complete about turn, could forest get a draw with spuds, could Brentford get a draw with man u.

Had $20 bet with Manc at pub the other night that we'd finish above them then as night wore on he told me he's a Member of the travelling community. Good for the handshake bet so

Edit: Interesting. I was typing out member of... and got lazy and used the 5 letter term and was  replaced with phrase I was going to type out. Nice

Ah, so when away fans start singing you only live round the corner. They're actually singing about him.

Just read kumb one of them called it the Cameron cup.

One thing I have to remind myself. There are players and coaches. When you look at fixtures and expected points.

Just by having Unai I think we will get 2 more points than Ange and 4 more the Eric.

I think people are overestimating Man U points. Including Liverpool and arsenal. Plus they have another 3 teams in the top half.

Norfolk county council in the US have been given 490 m dollars as a settlement from Apple. They sued the giant because the CEO said they were pressures on sales but not from  China. However 2 months later said tensions between US and China had they had to downgrade sales. Norfolk county pensions invested money into Apple during this period and sued them for fraud.

I know it has been difficult to calculate up to now with points for wins and draws and bonus points for winning group, then points for play off places etc.

But now it's just knockout how does it work. 

Is it 2 points per win per game of over the tie.

So for example if we win the home leg and draw the away leg would it be 2 + 1 (/8)

Or is it just 2 points for the tie (/8)
