"Fucchhhhun paella? Where's me spaghetti 'oops?" It'll make Gascoigne and Five Bellies Italian tour look like Oxford debating society.

As far as Im aware all venues were free of charge, they were happy to host them and take the extra income from the bar. I also dont think the speakers charged, John Anderson (check his Wikipedia Tom) and Gibson were free other than a drink or two as both are friends of the organisation. The use of hypothetical figures however cant be used as a yardstick. Theres no way that we have 2000 members and whatever the figure was it shouldnt be multiplied by a tenner. Kids, unemployed and retirement age got membership for £5. I'd estimate that it was about a third which fitted that category so we're maybe looking at an average figure of say £8 per member. I think we're looking at about 1400 members at an average of £8 each giving around £11k income. Spread that over a two year period and then remove the cost of the initial packs (membership card, keyring, sticker, postage) and you drop below the £10k income mark. Then we had the purchase of tickets for the worthy causes, charitable topups and whatever costs were incurred in YWC and its easy to see how £10k could be used in two years. On top of all that though, theres an assumption that its all been spent, Ive not seen anything announced to say the coffers are bare. All will be revealed however when the annual accounts are published which has to happen by the AGM.

Nah, the Trust plan came after we were setup and its not a requirement of the rules that any membership is paid. There are Trusts that are free membership. It was an awkward issue at the time, coming up with the amount. It needed to be cheap enough to not put too many off yet at the same time not too cheap that it devalues the democracy (if it was free then anyone could join up and influence votes) and had to cover costs etc.

There you go then, just got to buy one less box of biscuits a week and they'll have saved the 16%

FYP

I didnt take the comment badly however I can agree with how it can be seen as bad taste when someone basically says (as this government is) "you and 499,999 others are going to lose your job today but dont worry we've got 20 appearing in the new cyber crime division" We can pile numerous people into cyber crime but at the end of the day they'll just be current employees of whatever department takes responsibility for it. Probably Home Office Id suspect, if you dont already work in the Home Office therefore then you've got bugger all chance of getting a move there after today. No department will take on any staff in the foreseeable future, merely move people from one role to another and again, this doesnt help the matter. Instead of pulling in experts* in the topic they'll move paper jockeys from a no longer needed section and retrain them on this. *if they did want external experts then Id be knackered anyway

I saw Sammy last week running from the Metro to training (late again). I still reckon thats just Shola in his grannies wig! And if you notice theyve never played in the same team.

I swear Shola was on it, not sure what time but around half way through, theres a point where some blonde bint goes into a workplace and talks to someone else while two people (one of them Shola) are clocking out. Anyone able to check it on ITV player?

well todays the day, some of us may still have jobs come 5pm.

I give in… it's late. http://www.milkinfirst.com/dictionary/b.htm

Be assured Joe the feelings not mutual.

Not too far gone? he glassed a kid in a nightclub! At what point would you say hes crossed the line?

Aye just what we need another dour jock cunt in the dug out. Get Peter in. I like Hibs quite obviously they'll stagnate Calderwood for the forseeable future though. ITK totals in the last 12 month must be: Me 5 Craig 2 OC's 0 Typical Hughton gloryhunter, history starts in 2009 does it?

Im in the line!

I bet Mrs Nolan's over the moon

Prefer to pop a plastic one over it, just to make sure

I was saying the same thing yesterday. Tbh, it doesn't feel right doing it but I think it's a great bet. It wouldn't console me much like. Mike and Dekka have a monkey each on it.

tughguy's got a dozen in his lockup.

What went wrong? I'll tell you what mate, you must be shitting fucking bricks at this announcement

That says everything to me about the vew of certain board members. The attitude that people arent renewing because theyre not bright enough to understand democracy.

well it was his first blow job, had to rush home to rinse his mouth

Mr Mandelbrot could have calculated it but now hes gone

I'd put my life on it. Bellamy used to quote me in the press man, and I know you think I'm making that up, I'm not. Foulmouth Bellamy in C**t rant

French sheep must be shitting bricks
