Toon bid hopefuls backed by New York firm
maggiespaws replied to Geordiejihad's topic in Newcastle Forum
This is my view too. MA, by his own admission is a gambling man and given our more than decent start to the season; he must fancy our chances of getting back up. From there he'll look to sell quick, but get back more of what he lost. However, he wont spend a fucking bean in Jan and try to get back up on the cheap. Unfortunately, we wont as we'll succumb to the inevitable Gallowgate Curse and we'll be playing the Tea Lady on the left wing (mind you, my ITK tells me that whilst she's not a quick as Jonas, she knows how to cross a ball). On the chances my cynicism is misplaced and my lack of faith is shown up - we'll get promoted and Ashley will double the price of the club, whilst selling Jonas, Guthrie, Nolan and Saylor. No one will pay that kind of money given the level of investment required and we'll get relegated with the lowest points tally in history of the world.Ever. The only way MA will sell the club this side of May 2010 is if the SFO step up their investigation and he needs the liquid assets to strike a deal to avoid jail. There, I've said it and now the world knows. My optimism is counter-balanced by an over-active negative imagination which surfaces from time to time. Or maybe it's just 'cos I've only had 3hrs sleep We wont need any new players in Jan, as Sherla and Barton will be back to 'bolster the squad'. Simpson will get another loan deal to stay til the end of the season. Sorted. We will by Feb when they're all crocked again -

A bit of a blast from the past, but it's canny to code to actually: The Charlatans - Melting Pot I think I might follow it with The Cult (Best Of)

Nice one mate

Nice one MF, congrats Given the recent increase in TT babies, I propose all members practice 'safe foruming'. Protection is simple, we ask all members to put a condom on each finger before engaging in textual intercourse with another member. Pregnancy is spreading and very contagious. Side effects of babies can (and will) include loss of sleep, frequent outbreaks of puke, piss and in some cases: poo on your skin; a lightness in your wallet and the repeated loss of half of Christmas Day/Birthday trying to free presents from their near-permanent incarceration in their boxes thanks to "THE CABLE TIES OF DEATH". This is a public health message brought to you by the Office of Toontastic, Admin Department.

The new Monkey Island game for the Wii. It's a 5 episode game you buy through WiiWare @ 1000pts per episode. Got ep1 on Sun for Mrs Paws and I. Seems canny so far although I think it's a little glitchy.

Genuine question ( in case I've missed something). Do we know for certain Moat has no money? Or have we come the this decision because a) Moat has refused to pay Ashley's ridiculous asking price and b)Moat hasn't gone round saying "I have £200m to buy the club and provide for transfers !!!LOLZ!" After all, doing the 2nd would be really stupid and put him in a weaker position for negotiations. -
Cheers for that Ant. That's how I understood it, but reading the Iphone Dev site confused me because it mentions 3.1, jailbreaking, 3gs and the fact you can jailbreak but not unlock. Unfortunately I let itunes upgrade my new iphones without knowing you can't jailbreak 3.1, or that they will be permanently locked now.
-
Dumb question (or it feels like one). I can't seem to get my head around jailbreaking because of the confusion around OS3.1. I dont care about unlocking because it's going to remain on O2. I understand I wont be able to unlock it in the future because I'm on 3.1 and unlocking has been disabled. However, I'm running 3.1 and I only have windows PC's. Can I jailbreak yet and if so, wtf do I need to download/do? The iphone_dev site has confused the f**k out of me. PWNAGE, RedSn0w, yellowSn0w wtf?

iphone car mounts I recently bought two of these and they have been great so far. You can mount your iphone landscape or portrait which is good for SatNav etc. Came with a car charger too. I ordered them on the Fri am and they arrived Sat am That's canny that man. Thanks very much. Should be ok as well so my iTrip with the charger can go onto it too. Yeah, that's what I planned on doing before my radio stopped picking up stations recently

Not according to Adobe - Adobe open iPhone to Flash Devs

4mins added time. Time for a goal

It is. Same for tv links. If it's not on freely available radio that is.

If that were me....... You'd get the same treatment from me as 2Bias is now getting. 2Bias - check your PM's

Yep, I totally agree. KK might feel a little short-changed and if I was him I think I might too. However, in the grand scheme of things, it's definitely better for the club that it was limited to £2m.
-
By the end of the week ?
-
No he wasn't that a lie derived from Llambias, thinking idiots would believe it............ Indeed. He was suing for £10m wasn't he because that was the value of his contract? Something he was perfectly entitled to do.

Great news mate.

A new turbo for my 320d and some additional repair/maintenance work which was required as a result of said turbo going out in a spectacular plume of blue/white smoke on the A616. £1200 later and the car is back on the road. Still need to find the money to decorate & furnish Matthews (Master Paws) new bedroom. Not happy

I've got this down as a win too. We're looking good at home. I think we'll start with Carroll and Ranger up front again with Harewood coming on in the 2nd half. With Colo being out injured, our CB pairing might lead to a few mistakes and I think there's more chance of us condeeding in this game. I'll say 2:1
-
Aye, that about says it like. I think I might have to look into this bloke a bit further.

Totally agree. My work's phone is from Orange and I've had nowt but problems with them over a 6 year period. I've been with O2 now on a personal phone for 5 years. Not an ounce of problems. Also I'm on a £30/month tarrif which gives 400 anytime mins, 1000 texts and unlimited O2 to O2 calls. Given that my lass (who is the only person I really call) is also on O2 - it's a no-brainer for me... Similar situation for me too. I sorted mine and Lisa's through a business contract for £50/mth (combined) plus VAT. Unlimited calls to each other. Free O2 to O2 calls and my folks, brother, his fiance, lisa's folks are all on O2. Plus the 10 free landlines means I have other people covered too. On top of that I have 700mins and 450 txts (shared to be fair) for anything outside the above. They seem nice to deal with too. I'm now getting tempted by their broadband, which by all accounts is pretty good. I'm currently with Be Internet (who are now owned by O2) but as an O2 customer, you get their broadband fro 1/2 price. Less than £10/mth for unlimited, up to 20mb access.

I thought Carroll's ball to Nolan for his 2nd was lovely. Played it exactly where he needed to. For his 3rd I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to Ranger becase I think he was heading it down for Nolan. Looking at the replay, I dont think he could have scored it from where he was and the height it was. His best option was exactly what he did. That (younger) commentator is also a prick. Got on my tits for most of the match tbh.
