    Kids Toys Then and Now.....Whats better?

    we have a toy mangle, it's blue. the mother in law gave it to fran when she was little. not sure why it's still hanging around. i don't know how old arthur is but fuzzy felts are the favourite around here. the real proper old fashion ones not the gimmicky disney princess ones. oh and those tin...

    Ken Bates wins the battle to buy Leeds United

    they weren't fellow supporters. of all those owed money a very, very small percentage are just 'fans' (20 year season tickets etc) rather than business men who had money in the club and who were equally keen to screw us over in a different way. the true little people - childline, st johns...

    Ken Bates wins the battle to buy Leeds United

    the football league forced the hand (quite rightly) of kpmg when push came to shove. if we have not been sold today we would not have made the deadline to have our golden share handed back (which still may not happen) but the last meeting to give us chance for this is tomorrow. the fl will...

    Lyrically which song sums up your current state of wellbeing?

    where the river cross crosses the lake where the words jump off my pen and into your pages do you think just like that you can divide this you as yours me as mine to before we were us if the rain has to separate from itself does it say "pick out your cloud?" pick out your cloud if...

    Ken Bates wins the battle to buy Leeds United

    Once this deal is done and the ink is dry, Mr Bates has a new backer who has 'given' several million now to avoid activating the embarrassment clause but to allow him first dibs when Bates sells up.

    Ken Bates wins the battle to buy Leeds United

    You are pretty much right, Diffbrook. The FL were the ones who actually saw KPMGs hand forced to sell to Bates because of the unconditionality of his bid.

    Ken Bates wins the battle to buy Leeds United

    It was hardly a battle in the true sense of the word. More a case of who got the back handers in first.

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    I don't know. I am continually surprised by people and the choices they make. I suppose they felt the £25 saving for an early renewal was worth it. I think it was a stupid thing to do. Bates may well hand over the LU07 account to any new owner and it'll all be fine, but I'd rather hand my money...

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    It is happening. The money going into the club is going into a bank account called Leeds United 07 and KPMG do not have access to it. There is a flimsy explanation on the Leeds Officious site about how the money will be returned if we fail to start the season but gives no indication for what...

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    If only. KPMG have not taken over the running over the football club in the proper way that should have. The money going into the club is accumulating in another bank account and which is why 8k people could lose all their season ticket money if another buyer comes in. If we fail to start the...

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    Probably Thorp Arch then. Good for him I hope he does well. Our nephew prefers rugby league but is 'better' at football, I think next season will be his last training at football because when he goes up to senior school he wants to do rugby. And the Bates offer went up at the original CVA...

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    Does he train at TA or the out in the community things? Paddy's nephew is 9 and a goalie there as well.

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    thanks. think we will need some sort of miracle and second coming of someone special to be able to turn this fiasco around. far too many egos with their own agenda have done far too many dodgy dealings in the past through/using the club to let this sink quietly and a sensible deal be done...

    Leeds!!

    edit. One offer is far, far better than Bates.

    Leeds Utd - The Plot Thickens

    I certainly am on holiday. Having a lovely time with the children, Paddy flew out for 48 hours and because of this blasted football club flew back last Wednesday. But yeah, Paddy would do the whole no comment thing, he was on sky sports new earlier doing the very same.

    Do fat people feel guilty when they go into macdonalds?

    See, I don't think it tastes nice!As a very rare once in a while treat it's OK, but I couldn't drink a can a day even if I wanted to. Moderation is the key - like you say. You are a grown man (I assume!) and big enough to make your own choices - eat what you want, drink what you want and such...

    Certainly is. And we are all very happy here. :thumbsup:

    Do fat people feel guilty when they go into macdonalds?

    Corn syrup/sucralose (E955, splenda)/fructose, aspartame, bones, teeth, sleep, phosphoric acid, salt, empty calories, colourings, E211.... all sorts of reasons. Mostly because if I don't think it's good enough for me to drink/eat I won't palm it onto my kids. We have an unlimited supply of...
