Nah wouldn't buy any current foreign international tops, particularly during a W/C, but some of the retro ones are bang tidy.

Alex down the Quayside drinking Skittles. Like some bizarre parallel Newcastle.

He didn't lose just his 'own' money, it was company money [sD] hence it was shareholders' money albeit the other 49% involved. The game was played to settle a dispute with the investment bankers over outstanding legal fees incurred by Merrill Lynch during the SD floatation. I'm sure Freshfields/Mort nearly had to play some hard-ball to get Ashley to cough up his outstanding legal fees relating to the NUFC takeover. Didn't Mort make a special trip to Tyneside for reasons related to his debt/fees owed to Freshfields. Unless there's a concrete & legally binding clause ordering him to actually fill a debt [ie. *the stadium debt, following an ownership change, for instance] kicking & screaming it would appear the man has a recalcitrant attitude towards other service providers at the top end of town, where his retail empire is concerned. I've already posted one instance involving Umbro, when he attempted to welch on a contractual deal by refusing to take a delivery of a massive shipment of replica shirts, and thus not pay his outstanding bill. As well as being an unambitiousn club owner, there is distinct lack of honour in his operational methods/practices. *albeit he whinged about it for long enough, including misling the public over the legal specifics of the debt payback ie. the 'banks were banging on the doors' claim. To be honest, if he got a law firm and a bank to play a game of chance for their fees (whether he lost or not) then he was doing alright if you think about it. Can you imagine anyone else paying their solicitors that way? They'd be like "no, fuck off and just pay you cheeky bastard". The services will no doubt have already been rendered and he'll have had the benefit of them. Sounds like he was just trying to get them for free. He didn't, but he might have done if he'd won if that story has any credence whatsoever. And if he had you'd have to say that was a tremendous bit of business. No harm in sticking it to investment banks and corporate law firms, it's all money for old rope.

Italian curry sauce? Sounds like they've been chucking any old shit together for you.

Less nostrils and more tongues next time if you dont mind.

Why does that tubby lad start wearing spray-on eyebrows at 0:06? I can't be expected to sit through a gangster documentary where they're wearing spray-on eyebrows after 6 seconds.

There on the stair. Right there.

Benvenuti a Toontastico!

DEADMAN walking?

Chill out rubberdick

That's the question that's raging on General Chat: http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=29497

Where'd he take it from? Sat on your lap?

Dave sat in his lonely garrett eating a tin of beans watching Allo Allo and laughing out loud. With his shades on.

Yes Leazes, if only everyone could have just avoided posting a load of casual homophobic crap it would have been a lot better. Oh yes that's right, everyone did. Apart from you. Look all anyone's saying is just try to stop being such a nasty little homophobe. Really not a lot to ask. nobody asked you, to derail the thread like you did, nor your chums to back you up like a bunch of little bairns, instead of just following it correctly. What a dickhead. Still obsessed. Neither here nor there really to the perfectly valid point I was making eh? *frantic reply/laughing smilie*

That's the danger like, sad but true. Parky can have a bit of a petty minded mentality and it's not gonna help his little girl, who basically needs him to be the grown up. Or get Mrs Parky to do it in the alternative. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO INTERVENE READ THE FUKIN THREAD. I know that but she probably needs to be 'persuaded' to have some input as my guess is she'd be a bit more level-headed. Which is what's needed. http://www.toontastic.net/board/style_imag...es/rte-bold.png Meenzer was right and spot on. she's too calm for this. This needs sortin and I ain't havin it. Aye maybe but listen to what people are saying at least in terms of how you go about it. It sounds like you want the idea of isolating this other girl validating but people are saying not to do that. Thats what I was getting at before. This is a seven year old child remember and you've got to remember who the grown up is. I take it you have little experience of seven year olds or you wouldnt throw the term child around so easily. I've been carer for my two nephews since they were taken into local authority care due to their mother's drug addiction so I would say a seven year old is very much a child in terms of their dependence on adults for practically everything in life. And if that's the case then you've got no choice than to lead by example. As Gemmill says, the other way teaches them the wrong things altogether. Different kettle of fish all together. Yeah but your question was more objective than that-it was asking about children's behaviour in terms of generalities. You're saying something different now -and I know what you're implying by it-but I won't argue the toss about that. I never claimed to be a parent at any stage but at the same time I feel zero compulsion to justify the strength of my relationship with my nephews to you either. It was just said very matter of factly. Sorry btw if you've taken that comment too seriously. It wasnt meant that way. It was a drunken throw away jokey comment about 7 year old girls being extrem little madams. Sorry again and nothing personal. For the record I have nothing but admiration for what you've done. Nee apology necessary CT. It wasn't an offensive comment and I don't offend easily anyway. I was just stating my viewpoint on the subject for what it was worth.

Cheers. I didn't apply for it which accounts for my uncertainty.

Cheers-but they're family so it's only natural. And I wouldn't even mention it save for in response to a direct question.

Deloittes have called me in for an interview and I'm not sure I want any luck tbh.

Ran it by Mrs P she agrees. Will invite the fat one though, only so I can start to fragment her tiny mind. Good man.
