Gemmill

It sounds a bit new-agey, but when my mam moved house she had this bloke out who took readings on magnetic/electrical currents (or something, I can't remember exactly what it was he was doing), to tell her whether there was anything to worry about - supposedly this sort of thing can have a dramatic effect on your health. Anyway he told her to get rid of the cordless phones they have in the house, and said he would never have them in his house because of the damaging interference (or whatever, I really don't know what the terminology was). He reckons mobiles are alright as long as they aren't used excessively, but cordless phones were a big no-no.

Is it any wonder?

Have you been feeding him beetroot then?

Don't bring us problems, Fish, bring us solutions. Have you sold any windows yet or not? The clock is ticking and as we've heard nothing about successful deals yet, I'm starting to have some pretty serious doubts about the £28k p.a. talk. By the way, I bet you're absolutely WRECKED finally having to go to work every day.

Can I do the "You can't handle the Huth" joke yet?

Are they smoked? I like the processed smoked Austrian cheese that comes in red tubes.

Correction: take the money and turbo-waddle.

Ah right. What a tosser.

I'll take the fraud option. Although I could quite fancy being a hitman for a day.

Ahh right. What a cock. Who was that?

Dont wish your days away Gemmill, life is so short as it is! 183228[/snapback] I wish every work day away, and will continue to do so until my lottery numbers come up. The most sickening thing about it all is how fast the weekends fly by. Surely life isn't meant to be 5/7ths drudgery?! 183352[/snapback] No it isnt So change it! Try and find a job you actually enjoy We have an extremely short life, and you're wasting yours by only living for the weekends. 183400[/snapback] I've got to the stage now where I'm getting paid too much in accountancy and have too much debt to start off at the beginning in anything else. I did think about joining a recruitment consultancy that specifies in placing accountants - they tend to hire accounting professionals, so have to pay decent wages, but I didn't pursue it. Might have a look into it, but I'm worried it would be like a bit of a sales job. Will see how it goes here for a bit - could end up having more of a business role and less of an accounting role before too long anyway, which would be a change if nothing else. 183409[/snapback] Gemmill...this all sounds incredibly dull You're tied to what you do at the moment because of money, it always boils down to money...these tribes that move around, find a new spot and build a house in a day have a lot going for them!! No debt, no mortgage, no bills... At least whilst you're at work you can come and play on Toontastic 183418[/snapback] Everything boils down to money. True though, at least I can come on here.

They're trying to get something going where people take their scarves to the game and have some sort of "Walking in a Robson wonderland" singalong with scarves aloft as a get-well-soon gesture to Robson. I think it's a nice idea if they can pull it off.

That quote's a made up one, like everything that seems to appear in the footballing press. 183415[/snapback] Someone was claiming it was nicked off Wikipedia, but then someone else was asking whether it went up on Wikipedia after the Times printed it. Is it the former? The problem is more down to silly dickheads trying to promote their unofficial Newcastle websites by making up quotes to try and generate traffic. Not a dig at anyone btw, as I've no idea who made these quotes up, but it doesn't help. Having said all that, the press shouldn't be so stupid as to print stuff that isn't from a) the horse's mouth or b ) a decent source.

Good shout. Would explain why Arsenal are desperate to do it, but Man United don't want to. You're a geek if it's right though!

I'm ignoring your jibes btw, peasepud.

Am I guaranteed to be successful in commission of the crime and to get away Scot-free? If so I'd commit some sort of internet skullduggery against a faceless corporation, snaffle £1m off them and not have to worry about anyone losing their job, suffering any psychological distress etc. etc.

He'll Sheikh 'n' Vac his entire ass.

That was the very words that I heard. The story must be doing the rounds then 183377[/snapback] It's obviously crap, as the story I heard said he was eating a Gregg's cornish pasty. One thing's for sure though - I'm surely not the only one who got the image of pastry flaking off everywhere when he took a bite of said savoury 183381[/snapback] Flecks of it flying out of his mouth when he said Portsmouth and puffs as well.

I used to live there. Beat that for a miserable Sunderland experience.

They may feel once they have the other 71% and FS is just looking at dividend payments (which they could fuck about with in the short term) he'll sell up. 183360[/snapback] They might do, but if he resisted the initial takeover, he'd probably do so in the knowledge that he wouldn't get as attractive an offer again, with the premium associated with the takeover no longer being available. So I think if he was really going to sell up it would be on a takeover, not after.

"Listen son......*takes bite of sausage roll*.......ah knaa yer a canny defender and that.......*slurps tea*.....burra divvent want none o' that huckle business aroond my club. Surrrrr, if yiv come here thinkin ya ganna be stickin it up wor Geordie rentboys, ah suggest yer torn roond and mince yer way doon to Portsmouth. The puffs start efta Birtley"

I was saying last week that it was only a matter of time before our big wage advantage went with these other newly-taken-over clubs being able to match/better us, and the likes of Spurs maybe being a more attractive option from a career (not money) perspective. This takeover can't come soon enough if it happens tbh.
