I think I’ll throw my two-penneth’ in……. Whilst I can understand the various conspiracy theories the fact of the matter is that cock-ups happen and we are just a victim of (bad) timing. The Secretary of State is now required to give a date by which he/she expects to issue a decision - it was...

Totally random isn't it - Perhaps I should have got your Mum to phone up and cancel my subscription as she did a lot better than me. I've had the full package for nearly 3 years and there was no incentive (other than £49 for Sky+) to stay. Perhaps they don't think blokes who have had the full...

It seems to be the luck of the draw at the moment. I cancelled my Sky subscription yesterday. All they offered me was Sky+ for £49 (They have dropped the £10 p/m charge) and suggested various downgraded packages to save me money but no actual discounts. I hoped that I might get Sky+ for free...

Normally, anyone who wants to challenge a Secretary of State's decision has 6 weeks from the date of the decision letter.

Thanks Yorkie. It looks like they will be getting a PM. I need to try and find out if there are any lenders out there who would give me a mortgage for the specific amount I need and if so whether it would be affordable. I’m probably looking at a 5 times salary mortgage, so I need to get the...

I need some mortgage advice so thought I’d see if there were any mortgage advisors listed in Friends of the Albion - the only company listed is a national company, Savills Private Finance. Not sure how ‘friendly’ they are likely to be. Anyone used them or know of an alternative ‘friendly’...

Stayed in the Hotel Metro on 35th Street a couple of years ago. It was well positioned by the Empire State Building and the rooms were big by New York standards. I think its called 'moderately priced' which means its not cheap. Last year a couple of friends stayed at the Salisbury Hotel on...

Pretty much anything is capable of being a material planning consideration although there are some notable exceptions (such as property values, competition). The issue for the decision maker is firstly to make sure they have considered all the material considerations and then to decide what...

Er…I’m not sure you are quite correct. Prescott’s decision was flawed, he mis-identified the boundary of the built up area and then quoted that in his decision. I think all sides agreed that he was wrong and that legally his decision could not stand, which is why it’s back with Ruth Kelly. In...

I THINK that applications like this are listed at half hour intervals but that doesn't mean it will last half an hour. I see to recall that when the day's schedule is listed it will give the name of the case and a start time of say 'not before half past ten'. The next case will be listed with a...

The truth is no one knows. The judge may give a judgement there and then or shortly afterwards but he might equally well decide to go away and give it in writing a few days later (which is when a decision is said to be ‘handed down’).

Yeah. You have got to assume that any new decision the government comes up with will have addressed all the points that the Court made. In which case, any subsequent challenge is generally going to be limited to the new stuff. (There could possibly be grounds for challenge if the new decision...

No chance of stopping them gloating. The problem is that there are still so many ifs, buts and maybes that it is hard to give any precise answers. The decision of the court could be quite quick but until we know what the court says and LDC’s reaction to it, no one is in a position to even...

Do you think this was DK trying to avoid previous instances where indecision has cost us and where he took a lot of flack from the fans. I'm thinking particularly of his support for Hinshelwood, which eventually cost us? So perhaps this time round he could see the same sort of problems...

On SSN this morning when it was breaking news they used the term 'parted with Brighton' not sacked by. I must admit it got me wondering whether there was anything in the terminology used but then the Argus headline said 'sacked' and everything else points to him having been sacked.

I don't think it took DK so long judging by his usual performance and the time it normally takes to make important decisions round here.:lolol: I wonder whether 'others' on the Board forced him to act sooner rather than later, especially as Booker has gone as well?

Okay, so wages are as big a factor as transfer fees, I guess these days we all know that. But, the thing I still don't get is that the likes of Taylor and Coppell brought in loan signings that gave us quality and/or experience. The club has money available (£100K) yet we can't even get loan...

The thing I don’t get and I may just be being naive here is that, according to MM we are struggling because the team is young and inexperienced. Okay, fair enough, so why has the situation been allowed to get like this. Yes, I know we’ve been after players and the falmer/withdean issues get...

Cardiff will always be tough to beat but for sheer atmosphere and emotion, it has to be the 1987 UEFA cup final. Yeah, bit of an odd one as it was Dundee united v Gothenburg and I'm not scottish or swedish but I'll never forget the reception Gothenburg received at Tannadice after they'd won and...

My point was that the High Court has to be involved its not simply a question of Ruth Kelly tearing up Prescott's original decision and issuing a new one, so there was always going to be a delay. Certainly the length of the delay is down to LDC wishing to contest the 15 other points it has...
