I have no idea why they wouldn't apply that charge instead, but then I can't recall hearing of anyone ever being charged with it. Given the public outcry perhaps this isn't the last we'll hear of this case...

Do you mean the £14.4 million that they took on when there was no actual obligation to do so? The one where they persuaded the CET to spike the story so that they could push it through as a done deal. The one where ACL was doing so well that it was quite correct for the council to bail it out...

That's an absolutely fair comment FP, but Councillors aren't bound to accept what their officers tell them, they are there to lead and challenge. Anyone who had gone through all of the crap that SISU put the city through would have to be an absolute idiot to have done the Wasps deal without...

As I understand it, the maximum sentence for Causing Death by Dangerous Driving is 14 years. Pleading guily gets him an automatic third off the sentence. So I think this is pretty much the maximum that the judge could impose. In this case, that's obviously nowhere near sufficient. The Govt...

Funny how both you and they forgot to mention it at the time, eh. The council and Wasps made a huge deal about their academy moving to the City, with all the jobs and infrastructure benefits to the town etc. And strangely enough it doesn't really seem to be happening. Basically Wasps owners...

Selling a car that isn't roadworthy is illegal. Misrepresenting the state of the vehicle also gives you some recourse. The key is, can you prove that either they did it, or that they should have known about it? If so, you might have a case. Did you pay for any part of it, even the deposit...

And that's what grates a little isn't it. If this was CCFC/SISU then the CET would be all over it (and rightly so imho). However the same level of scrutiny doesn't seem to apply to Wasps. I find that odd, personally.

By that logic there would be no point in making a stand against anything. Maybe some people hold themselves to higher standards. I'd say you ought to try it, but it would be a waste of time. You've hitched yourself to Wasps wagon for the sake of a few quid. Most of your posts are...

I'm not a victim, dickhead. I just don't need a paid-for Wasps PR c**t like you patronising the club I support. Now fuck off back to making your adverts.

We don't need Wasps there to celebrate. Let's be honest mate, like the prick from the CET who tweeted about this with a #COYW hashtag, you don't really give a shit about CRFC. It's a handy bit of PR for Wasps though, I'll give them that,. Personally speaking though, I'd just rather the...

Exactly my take on it. I haven't missed many games at the BPA over the last few seasons, but I'm not going to this one. I appreciate others differ, but unless and until we're in the same division as Wasps I don't want to see them at the BPA.

Just for those too young (or uncool) to get the reference... :)

Absolutely mate, I really liked big Cedric, underrated player imho.. "Ced's head, baby, Ced's head..."

They are absolute bastards mate. They even use their Jedi mind powers to make your strikers miss open goals, the defence fall apart, and your midfield pass to the opposition. They've been after us for years... :)

Although in fairness, we were 34 years in the top division weren't we? (That's from memory btw, actual figure may differ!)

Obviously Betamax mate, VHS is never going to catch on. It's like those idiots who bought CDs instead of minidisc players. Mugs.

And keepers without gloves! Double hard.

That is absolutely brilliant, many thanks. Given that training in those days consisted of a quick kickabout and then three hours in the bookies it's amazing how fit those players were. That pitch must have been completely knackering... If you want to see one of the things that's changed...

New V70? If it doesn't come with of these, I'm not interested...

I know exactly what you mean. I always tape MoTD, but I hardly ever watch it now. Incidentally, did you dream you ate a giant marshmallow?
