    So if this is a forced takeover...

    It's entirely feasible and I'd welcome it. There are hedge funds and there are hedge funds - we were just unlucky to get a crap one. I cannot see Wasps sitting on their hands and not investing when there's the premiership money beckoning. The big question however is if SISU would roll over...

    Albums you ever get tired of listening to

    This is a much easier question than "which are your favourite albums" because I can see the older ones that I continue to play frequently: Adventure - Television (I know Marquee Moon is the supposed classic but I play Adventure more) Waiting for a Miracle - Comsat Angels Real Life and...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm a reluctant leave. I love the idea of a close Europe but some of the rules that the EEC has come up with are very damaging to everyone. They keep meddling with economics trying to impose things onto a region with a huge variation in economic needs. One size doesn't fit all in Europe and...

    Falling out of love....

    I imagine because they are in the Premier League, having over-achieved in recent years against their history and the probability of them improving on that position is lower than the probability that they are in a worse position in 5 years. Our situation is the opposite, possibly.

    Anyone know much about employment law on here?

    Fibber. The original was SISU.

    Anyone know much about employment law on here?

    I don't know the details of the law - but I know the procedure. When you have a problem employee you meet in private with them; set them goals for the day/week; agree them; document them and then meet again in a day/week to review status and set the next week's goals. The last thing you do is...

    Caolan Lavery

    There's another vid of his Owls goals - he does that long run and side foot into the corner of the goal a lot. He does look decent and at 23 approaching his prime. Worth a punt IMO.

    Could those attending Wasps games...

    I was attempting to gently point out that it's not for you to decide what everyone else does. :)

    Could those attending Wasps games...

    OK got it. I was considering either the theatre or the cinema this evening. Which of these is acceptable? Or neither? If I did go could you provide a list please of the shows I should avoid? Any rules on which newspaper I should read?

    Could those attending Wasps games...

    No he doesn't - and I would have been surprised if he had, as Tony isn't like that. But others have. I'm not going to name and shame because that is counter-productive.

    Could those attending Wasps games...

    I don't know how many Nick, but I've seen them being called cunts on here more than once.

    Could those attending Wasps games...

    I don't agree that being concerned about the *volume* of immigration has anything to do with racism. One can be for diversity and against accepting 300,000 net immigration every year (that's the population of Coventry every year). If the numbers of European migrants continue at the current...

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    Of course not, because that is illegal and immoral. However it is OK to buy a house that someone else has trashed because they got evicted because they didn't pay their rent. One might feel pity for the person evicted but you didn't cause it and it's wrong to leave the house empty. You might...

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    You are right, I was outraged at SISU trying to distress a charity; however that was a provocative act. Wasps came into an already intolerable situation and offered the people of Coventry a solution. SISU had already destroyed the relationship with the city by then - it was a reaction not an...

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    Why on earth would Wasps be accountable for the situation of another independent company? It's none of their business.

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    And whilst I'm on a roll; why do people keep dropping the c-bomb about Wasps and their supporters? It's misdirected anger; we are justly angry about the situation that the club is in but that isn't Wasps' fault - they simply reacted to a situation in their own best interests. And their...
