At the risk of getting drawn into a very old argument here, there are a few points that you're clearly overlooking. The first one is that the Council told a huge lie right at the start of selling to Wasps. It's well documented, and it's along the lines of 'we need to build trust before talking...

If? ;)

Because people hate politicians and he's clever enough to avoid being seen as one? See Trump. Boris isn't as dangerous as Trump, because he does have some vestigial intelligence, but I'm sure he's as much of a narcissist, willing to do or say anything that gets him what he wants regardless of...

Possibly for some Stu mate, so it's a fair point, but it's not true for everyone. I'd want no part of supporting the Wasps franchise, even if it was of benefit to CCFC. I don't want to see Wasps genuine fans suffer, as they've had enough of that already - however I want their club out of the...

Surely not Otis, I thought you still had a few hundred returns to Wembley Park to shift? :)

Hmm. Wonder why the council didn't sell it on the open market last time then? Regardless, there are hardly likely to be a large amount of takers for a purpose-built 32,000 stadium with no long term tenant. Unless perhaps we can attract another 'nomadic' rugby club from London. Hey, maybe...

Pipped to it. D'oh!

I don't suppose there's any chance of my getting it on Super 8 then...

With all respect, the issue here is that the facts don't match his story in a number of places. Pointing that out isn't sticking the knife in - if he doesn't make false claims (about, say, meeting people from the club) then he doesn't get called out on them. Getting out from under SISU would...

I don't know about a fraud, but hasn't he already been caught in a number of untruths. He's not in a court of law here, but if he expects to be trusted then he'll have to earn it. What you're seeing here aren't personal attacks, but healthy scepticism. I wish we'd had more of it when SISU...

Haven't heard anyone say 'thrape' in ages. Top word. :)

Yes, I'd be upset by this. It's an unnecessary policy. In fact as a parent I'd be asking what you were doing as a teacher in this day and age with this kind of attitude? Children at this age shouldn't be scared of asking to go to the toilet; the risk here is either that the child has an...

Wearing a silly hat is 'unorthodox', lying about meeting someone is, well, lying. I don't know why it bothers you so much so that it's being pointed out that there are more than a few gaping holes in his story... I'd be delighted to see SISU go, but I'm not so keen on being used as part of...

File under 'dreamer', imho. With apologies if I've missed it, has anyone seen independent verification of this chap's claims of wealth?

I'm sorry the fella died, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But I can't see how bollocking around on illegal bikes, pulling wheelies and generally making a nuisance of yourself is in any way showing respect for him. I rode bikes for years, and I've lost a friend to a motorbike accident. It...

Agreed. The other statistic that should be rolled out more often is that having a gun or guns in the house (usually for protection against 'home-invasion') significantly increases the risk of the owner or a family member dying prematurely (via suicide or homicide). in essence, keeping a gun for...

Well fwiw I've got a large collection of both types of music: Country *and* Western. :)

Fwiw my PayPal account uses two-factor authorisation, i.e. it sends a code to my mobile number after I've signed in, which I also have to enter to confirm a transaction. It's definitely a lot more secure, but in truth I don't know if it's used to set up regular payments as well as one-off...

I know where you're coming from JHFC, but Larkin was a miserable, over-privileged, whinging old twat in my book, and that particular poem boils my piss for various reasons. Here's my preferred alternative, with some rather kinder advice. At the risk of getting over-emotional I'd say that if...
