Gemmill

Never seen it. Just added it to my list. The beauty of online DVD rental.

Glengarry Glen Ross. Class Film.

I agree in the main but - I've won money and appreciated it more in a way. Your earnings go straight into the bank and you don't really see them whereas on the odd occasion I've fleeced the bookies I've probably felt better about that money than I would otherwise. I appreciate gifts too which are sometimes money/vouchers and in those circumstances I tend to buy something I wouldn't normally buy, as a treat. Also, do you reckon people who have their lives improved by charitable donations are unappreciative? 173489[/snapback] If you're generally working for your money, you'll appreciate anyh money that comes in, but if you've got a lot and don't have to work for it, it all ceases to have any real value. I also think people quickly forget how hard they once worked for it once they've got it; they stop appreciating what other people are going through etc. 173494[/snapback] That's what I meant and no I wasn't on a wind-up Gemmill you dick wad! Why is Shearer happier in all likelihood than Dyer? One reason would be I'm sure because he has earned his money and had some impact on the world. I concede I may be talking bollocks like. 173506[/snapback] There's a difference between being able to fully appreciate the value of money and being able to enjoy being loaded tbh. If someone handed me £10m tomorrow, I'm sure I'd lose sight of the value of money and spend uncontrollably for a while, but I'd enjoy doing it. I'd gladly take my chances with a lottery win to test your theory. I reckon if you won the lottery you'd stretch to a new pen to write your medical stuff with and maybe upgrade the car you've got to one with leather seats. And you'd get a new bathroom suite. That would be the extent of the change to your life.

What's it about?

Tosspot Oliver reckons we're ready to open talks with Martins, and that we're already discussing terms with Gravesen. We shall see.......

Well lookie here, looks like we got ourselves a coupla junior Klansmen in this thread!

60-40 that you don't go down. That's about as good as it gets in real life, I would think. This isn't "Heat", Dave.

What would you do with a million in cash though? It's a bit suss to go and pay it in to HSBC and I can't imagine you'd be able to buy a house in notes. 173455[/snapback] You could pay for holidays in cash without raising too many eyebrows. Convert cash into foreign currency for travelling. Spend it in the pub. I reckon you could feasibly buy a car with cash. I could get my loft conversion done and pay for that in cash (exciting!) 173469[/snapback] buy your foreign villa for cash, that gets rid of some questionable cabbage 173473[/snapback] I'd go and see bobby for further tips.

Are you on the wind-up, you great big knobhead?

3 are amateurs tbh.

I've barely seen him play, but that's been my impression too unfortunately. He certainly looks very hit or miss.

You're not going to get work with the Spastics with that attitude! 173436[/snapback] Work with? They'd be working FOR me tbh.

What would you do instead? 173420[/snapback] Watch telly and stuff. Nah, travel. See the world. Do what I wanted to do instead of what work dictated. Maybe some voluntary stuff. 173422[/snapback] You'd risk going to prison to do voluntary work? 173431[/snapback] I'm risking prison to do as I please, you cripple!

If I had enough money to not have to work, I'd be significantly happier tbh.

Why like, does he drive like a woman?

And your career path is 173379[/snapback] LEGITIMATE accountant. Not embezzler/money-launderer.

I think it's more a case of this being the first time Roeder himself has gone to watch him, rather than his scouts. 173356[/snapback] That's even worse! We've been interested in the lad since April and Roeder's going to watch him play for the first time 2.5 weeks before the window closes.

You know it's full of money before you pick it up. It's half open and some cash is protruding.

I wouldn't have nicked that car like, Laz, but I'd be away with the £1m. Straight home and then work out how to spend it/deposit it somewhere without raising alarm bells. That would be the hard part.

Full combat with a brain tumour might but that in perspective, like. © Anal Oliver This is why you lot count the beans while the real work is being done, no balls. An ice cream out of petty cash and it's a bed wetting extravaganza in the Accounts Dept, not to mention the cost of therapy for years afterwards. 173322[/snapback] I'm right and you know it, paddy!

I'd love the money, but I've got nothing like the bottle to do that. If you found a case in the street with £1m in it, would you keep it? I would without a second thought. Although with the adrenaline rush it would create walking down the street with it, I'd probably run head-first into a wall or something.

25th Hour. 1/2 a point for Ed Norton. 173300[/snapback] Knew I recognised it. The New York references should have told me. I thought 25th Hour was a class film like. 173304[/snapback] Aye, it's quality. I keep meaning to watch it again actually. Might stick it on my list.

You think hasn't made up his mind? I think if they were both on the table, right now, for a certain price he'd know. I assumed his sudden willingness to talk a little bit about players contracted to other clubs was mind games, much as I think the whole process is. We're not willing to buy Kuyt for £10-14m, and neither are 2 other well run clubs in the Premiership. He wants to come to the Premiership and a waiting game is being played. Gol says we bid for Gudjohnsen, so he'd have had full pre-season, as would Duff if we weren't back ridiculously early. Obviuously in an ideal world all 5/6 would be in before pre-season, but we can't let on that that's important, and we can't be held over a barrel. EDIT: Don't forget the window works both ways, the selling club can be left with an unhappy striker and no cash, and we can always go elsewhere (another reason to say you haven't decided yet!) Roeder mentioned this week that the players he was looking at would be integrated within 2 or 3 days, because they're not off in the Bahamas, they're in training with their current clubs. When there was no window, players regularly joined clubs mid-season, let's not overstate the importance of pre-season at their new club, highly beneficial, yes, but not crucial. I fear I'm becoming Leazes in his absence. 173303[/snapback] If he's made his mind up why is he wasting his time watching them in pre-season matches. I think he's terrified of making the wrong decision and doesn't know yet what the right one is. Which at this stage is not on. I don't want to appear to be having a go at Roeder specifically btw, because I'm sure he's not doing this out of unprofessionalism or anything of the sort. Far from it, I think he wants to get this right, but it's getting REALLY late in the day for all of this. The fact that the window works both ways is another problem if you ask me - the selling club can't afford to sell too late as it needs the cash to bring in a replacement. The more we wait and drag our heels, the more likely Feyenoord are to turn around and say "Sorry, too late. He's staying here."
