and isnt it possible that they got wind of it through this email that is circulating and just didnt bother checking facts ??? ICSTIS shut down the number in the original scam, and although it is possible (and maybe quite likely) for someone to change the number to point to a current premium rate number, and adjust the scam a little, the £15 fee is a myth. The Bristol media might want to check with their counterparts at BBC Wales who broke the story in 2005 !!! On one of the links above (first one I think) it says "the claim that an immediate £15 fee was charged as well as the per minute cost is unfounded. ICSTIS notes that, "the reference to £15 is an urban myth. It is not possible for a £15 charge to be made on connection."

Discovered this wee nugget while looking at NewsNow ........ seems the search for youth talent is not restricted to the Highlands and has stretched as far as Cornwall. 'Teenager Andy Jones is swapping playing for Liskeard Athletic for a place in a Scottish Premier League team. The 17-year-old secured himself an 18-month contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle after Liskeard manager Dave Leonard contacted a host of clubs to tell them about his talent. Andy spent a week at the top-flight club – currently sitting in fourth place in the division – to convince bosses he was worthy of a professional contract. Mr Leonard, who coached Andy between the ages of ten and 12, said: ‘This is marvellous both for him and the club.’ LINK: http://www.looe-today.co.uk/today/options/...il.cfm?id=32468

or maybe HE discovered his club had been in unauthorised talks with SP to replace him ? I am guessing we will never know both sides of the story.

I'll leave it up - we can point people to this thread if anyone else asks about it. Most of these hoaxes are very believable - but they are as bad as spam as they very easily achieve what they are meant to do which is to clog up email systems when tens of thousands of (conscientious) people email it to thier contact list who in turn email it to their contact list who in turn .... etc etc. I normally go and check the hoax websites before forwarding mail of this type, or stick a search into google to see if it comes up as dodgy - apart from the two links I used above (courtesy of google search), I also use snopes.com which dispels many urban myths and also symantec's website which deals not only with viruses but also virus hoaxes.

Its a hoax - or it is now. The number actually worked in the past but was shut down by authorities. http://www.hoax-slayer.com/pds-phone-scam.html http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoa...y+Service+(PDS)

Tremendous news. Well done Charlie. Thoroughly deserved.

You can get the same form table on this site you know :010: - go to league table page and can set the dropdowns to show it :004:

would be surprised if the SPL didnt issue an edict about this in the first place. It is often said that there are too many 'minutes of silence' but I dont think anyone can really argue against this one.

stuck it in the rumour mill for now :004:

Doesnt matter what division we were in, or what season it was, we have always been a far better team when playing the ball on the deck and passing it around

but it has to be one with a little hole in the top so you can aim the sauce inside the pie instead of on the lid :005:

mmmmm peanut butter and jam :005: square sausage on a roll with real butter (especially when you have been out of the country a while) :005: a plate of homemade Scotch Broth on new years' morning/afternoon :005: a full fry up the morning after the night before :005: and my current favourite when the wife makes it ........... spicy sweet potato soup - it is treeeeeeeeemendous :005: :005: :005: :005: :005:

Its official - the kilt is a halloween costume :015: :015: ... at least over here !! Just had a young Chinese boy come to the door with some friends, they were dressed as ghouls, goblins etc but the young lad had on full highland dress ..... he got extra sweets/crisps :015: cant believe how BIG a deal halloween is over here ....

Is that what they call a greek tragedy ?

saw the thread title and thought CaleyD was up to something :015: :015: I like Chibber's 3-4-3, very daring even if it is highly unlikely that CC will go for it !!! If he did, I would pick Hart in place of Duncan. Based on recent performances, Richie is playing better. However, I think we will line up in a familiar fashion ..... Brown Tokely Dods Munro Hastings Wilson Hart Rankin McBain Dargo Bayne I would like to see Zander get a run-out as he seems to be a very exciting player and perhaps Denzil might also get an opportunity at some stage.

... or in lay-bys (in Cooper's case) :015: :015: But seriously, good luck to both. Spoke to Cooper a few times when he was at County - bizarrely enough, one of them was an ICT event in a marquee at the TCS - and despite his bad choice of team to manage, he seemed a decent enough chap. Its taken a long time, but I think I have finally forgiven Paterson enough to be able to wish him well in his new job. I have focussed on all the good he did at the club before he left rather than the method of his departure and the good memories certainly outweigh the bad ones.

Yup - and he wasnt mentioned when they said DUFC had parted company with Malky and Brew

We will be working to add the match reports from ALL competitive games into our stats software over the coming months and we have made a start on the 1994/95 season. If you go to FOOTY FOCUS > Fixtures/Reports and then select the relevant season from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen you can see the match report, lineups etc. :021:

L_G - I am assuming of course that you have booked the photographer :016: .... we have loads of space in the gallery for anyone who wants to submit pictures of fans gathering at any event not just this one :003:

I agree. The prospect of Cooper/Paterson seems quite a good one. Good luck to them.

mmmm ..... let me see .... try the menu on the left FOOTY FOCUS > SQUAD and then set the dropdowns to suit. Dargo / Wilson closest to suspension on 4

The sound you hear is your complaint falling on deaf ears ......

If travel is such an issue, and players keep quoting geography as a reason not to come to the club then perhaps the club should look at building in a 'few' travel expenses over the course of a year for players in certain situations (ie with family at home) - flights are dirt cheap if you search hard enough and dont use travel agents.

I understand you - even if others dont ! :015: :017:

Refreshingly honest .... has he been reading some of our users comments on this site I wonder :024: :024:
