  1. Joanna is definitely coming on strong as this series starts to wind up to the end. Once again her pushy manner was probably responsible for driving the flavours and the sales. Good also to see Stella pulling out a win but she isnt looking like winner material. Devistated that Laura and Stuart didnt end up out the door. Out of the bottom three I think it was a bit tough on Christopher considering Chris's past losses. However Chris wont be here long. Joanna or Liz for me. Have to say that Hamburg (Parky?) looked an absolutely gorgeous city and think it will be going on the to do list.
  2. Spot on. Being bugging me all night who it looks like.
  3. Looks like they got the wrong fella..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathuram_Godse ...and Warren Beatty got off scott free. Just gone through that same process myself and couldnt quite get me head round it.
  4. That meeting is basically the reason cited by the chair for why we should never hold another members meeting again. You would assume that the abuse hurler was the main reason for his argument wouldnt you? well it wasnt, the abuser was, believe it or not, the PR expert (I shit ye not ) and the now chair got upset at the fact people even dared question the work that was going on. And the people on the other end of the abuse? non other than Mick Martin of True Faith and a respected Solicitor both of whom were instrumental in the setting up of the NUSC. well arent you the clever one, there is nobody to blame ultimately for this than the current chair however if more fans such as yourself had actually got behind the idea of a Supporters Club at the time and helped shape it then maybe, just maybe it could have turned out differently. How anyone can crow about this and laugh at the fact it may have failed is beyond me. Lets be sure here though, this should not be the end of a NUFC fans organisation, it may well be the end of the Trust and it definitely should be the end of some peoples involvement on the board but there are good foundations for a well ran Supporters Club which we desperately need. Therein lay the problem, it was started up as a ridiculous attempt at buying the club from Ashley. There was no suggestion of how much he wanted, it seemed as if a figure that he may accept was just plucked out of thin air by the NUST and a whole campaign started on the back of it. Then the requests for money started! Many wealthy local business men had pledged millions apparently, still to find out who they were or what they pledged like and the cynic in me would suggest this may have been embellished as a ploy to get others to start hoying money in. Whatever happened to all the cash that was paid in membership fees and any pledges btw? As for the foundations of a good supporters club? Aren't they meant to have some sort of dialogue with the club? Some way of putting their point across? I think that ship sailed the minute NUST was shouting on in the press about MA being a cunt and how we were going to buy his club off him I don't expect you to agree and no doubt your a little embarrassed as you were the NUST champion on here at the time of its inception. But for every NUFC fan i've spoken to about NUST they all have similar feelings about it as me and are glad they weren't duped into handing over any money. Dont think it initially started out to buy the club, it was more to try and harness the outrage over Keegan. Heads were obviously turned by grand ideas, but do remember that these people gave up their time for free and at least had a go. Regardless of whats gone on to date, the fact remains that NUFC should have a great supporters club. Its that simple.
  5. Bloody manhole cover looks a tad dodgy. Nice pics though
  6. I would also add I have no interest of being part of a trust. Thinks its just unfortunetely a no brainer for clubs like ours.

Well said.....And they would get my tenner tomorrow if they did. Perhaps PP you should get the ball rolling.
  8. Happened to me first week in December last year. If your getting a new one, watch out for the thieving bastard quoting £3000 plus. I managed to get mine done for £1500. Horrible though having no heating or water when it's cold.
  9. Weather forecasters say snow should start at about 11pm tonight leaving at least 2 inches by the morning. You have been warned.... Get the earlier bus, if driving set offer 30 minutes earlier or better still, leave it to the professionals and get a Taxi Ps For those of you in the South, just run around as though the end is nigh and your the only ones who are ever effected by snow. Feel free to gather round the TV and hear tales of woe on Chelsea high street and the occasional good news story of Miles being able to ski down to the local waitrose.
  10. If I saw this on TV as a young lad Id be batting for Meenzer tbf rip
  11. Drooool. They look pretty damn good. No unfortunately I rushed ahead with this recipe. Still shouldnt have turned out shite. I'll try that one next. http://www.food.com/recipe/bruces-prize-wi...e-scones-174234
  12. Defintely keep. Its a shame how a lot have turned against him in recent times especially as he was quite of ten one of the ones who did give a shit. Also put in quite a few decent displays at right back so worth keeping for that alone.
  13. Is the new man. Didnt you get the memo
