Aye I find the same with Stephen King's books of late. Starts off with a really good idea then completely blows it by descending into utter stupidity.

Aye I got the Harrington books and they're a good read.

FACT! Only 2 things on earth visible from space, The Great Wall of China and the Byker Wall. I'd suggest Wallsend Forum, and inside Wacky's lasses fanny - a spacious picturesque landscape only spoilt by the whiff of a harbour wall. 193556[/snapback] MYTH!!! The great wall of China isn't visible from space. 193562[/snapback] But many motorways and airports and that are. 193565[/snapback] Renton is too.

I will never live this down.

Newcastle United lied over transfer deals, says tribunal by David Conn Newcastle United lied and some of Britain's top football agents misled the Football Association about how they did their deals in order to avoid being caught flouting the rules governing agents' conduct, according to a VAT and Duties tribunal. The tribunal, a legal body, decided last month that Newcastle are not entitled to reclaim VAT on payments made to agents, including some of the game's biggest names, in 21 deals between 2001 and 2003. The tribunal found that on forms which must be lodged with the FA to register transfers and new contracts, Newcastle United "falsely stated" that the agents had acted solely for the club, and not for the players. Newcastle did this, according to Russell Cushing, the club's chief operating officer and a director of the football club, "to avoid fouling the rule that an agent can only act for one party on a transfer". In his evidence, Cushing said that the rule, established by football's world governing body, Fifa, and maintained here by FA, is routinely broken. He argued that the agents had in fact acted for both Newcastle and the players on the same deals. "It is generally acknowledged," Cushing said, "that the rules cannot accurately reflect the global business we now operating in." In order for the FA to accept that the deals were within the rules, Newcastle stated on the forms that the agents had acted for the club, according to a written agreement, and not acted for the players. The tribunal found this was "false", that the agents were in fact the players' exclusive representatives, and that no written agreements with the club existed. The agents, who did not declare to the FA that they had acted for their players, were said by the tribunal to be: "In breach of the [Fifa] regulations, having failed to adhere to the Code of Professional Conduct, by behaving untruthfully". The judgment illuminated more than has ever previously been known about how clubs and agents do deals. Cushing admitted that forms Newcastle completed were "technically incorrect". Newcastle told The Guardian they intend to appeal the judgment. The FA declined to comment. http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/...usrc=rss&feed=5

No dear.

Never mind that! Apologise to ALL OF US for your misguided trust during the transfer window. 193221[/snapback] I'm still too shocked about that West Ham Mascherano/Tevez shit. Besides, we got a new left-back, Martins, and Duff, and potentially a very good striker to tide us over until January, so I don't see I was entirely misguided. As Shepherd said, if we'd signed Duff and Martins deadline day, and the rest earlier, everyone would be more impressed. 193234[/snapback] See the "Even more insulting...." thread tbh. Shepherd has got you taped by the sound of it.

They confiscated your chapstick!? I couldn't survive a long flight without it. :lol:

Open casket with him in his trademark shorts, shirt and boots tbh.

Ban the prick tbh.

Have we heard a peep out of him since the transfer window closed?

A minute's CRIKEY! would be a more fitting tribute tbh.

Aye PartyPoker are coming up with their own web-based game but it's only playmoney at the minute. I've played on Pokerroom too but gave Full Tilt a go because of their 100% bonus sign-up thing (although you have to play a canny bit to make that 100% bonus come true funnily enough. ). I've not been playing very long like.

Aye, he didn't reckon with [booming devil voice]ETERNAL DAMNATION MUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA[/booming devil voice] 192957[/snapback] To be honest though hell would be abreak from playing Ping Pong everday! Out of interest who the hell does he play ping pong with? 192960[/snapback] Satan himself.

wikipedia have had to stop people editing his page after someone put "Irwin's Dead. LOLOLOLOLOL" on it.

You should have just turned to face them, and adopted the crane position from the Karate Kid as they approached. They would have turned tails and legged it.

I play an'all these days. I'm on Full Tilt Poker though. It's where the real men play. (mac-compatible software basically)

Could just be lazy journalism, but under the cirumstances I really hope it's true. 192834[/snapback] If this is true, we look to be being beaten to the punch again tbh. Big Sam pulls his finger out and gets over to talk to the lad while Roeder dawdles, plotting another of his hugely successful hijacking attempts.

Ok geeks, how do I get my stepdad's business's site listed on search engines? They've paid for a thing called "Instant traffic" which is supposed to handle it all for them, but I'm wondering if you dweebs have any better ideas? I can't put meta tags on the website because I made it with "Software for Internet Spazzers" - not that I know what meta tags do anyway.

Played for the reserves last night. Supposedly looked "slimline" but also a bit rusty, so we might not see him this weekend.

I can't even get on the site from work, knobsock! I don't need to read the small print to know you're talking shit.

I could have told you that tbf. Seething. 192866[/snapback] You wouldn't have had a clue, legal bandit boy!

How am I baffled knobjob? The only reason I can think for something like this is that they see the Steelers as such underdogs that they fully expect them to lose. In the meantime, they take £580 of lots of people's money and put it on deposit, picking up interest on the investment and returning the stake, but not the interest to the individual when the Steelers lose. The sooner they get people to put the bet on, the longer they have the cash for. Or something like that.
