Yes, it took a while, but we showed them our Cox today.

If only Lionel had scissor-kicked the one across the goalmouth, it might have gone in. Sanchez had his best five minutes just before he was taken off - spurred into action by Sutherland warming up? By the way, talking of bus stop wakners, did anyone else see Dougie Imrie sitting on a wall at a bus stop on the Halbeath Road?

I agree with your list of names, just maybe in a different order. Curses! I still managed to get it wrong.

So what is 63-year-old Neil Young doing these days?

Oh well, there goes my plans to let the young 'uns use this website It's okay kids, it was just another typo; he meant to say Setanta.

It's good to see the young blood finding the back of the net, especially Shane Sutherland. It's also nice to see that Sanchez kept it clean; the alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

We need another 19 million to go forward, and we're 10 million and 7 places from relegation. I think it's gone time to leave it for this week.

That bad, eh? :huh: I like it myself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Discovery hasn't moved since 1986 (riding on the back of the Happy Mariner), and isn't expected to go anywhere soon. Furthermore, it's never actually been a fighting ship. It started life as a research vessel. At other times it was used in trans-Atlantic and European trade (this sounds somehow familiar) and for training Boy Scouts. You'll need to splice the mainbrace a few times before going into battle in that one! :P

Positioning the building must be tricky - one of these is at Ibrox, and another half buried in the hillside at Denver, Colorado.

There are a few more adjustments required, like removing the SPL and Setanta billboards and unmirroring the billboards half way up the stand. Last but not least, it needs to be repositioned 200 yards further inland - the pitch looks a bit waterlogged at the moment!

Where do you get the Stats? Fair play to NLP great score, I stopped when I thought everyone had given up! Just check to see we got promoted. It will take a lot more from everyone to get even higher! http://www.playforyourclub.com/pfyc_players_display.php?l=1 ...or click on play, then under "Choose your League", beside UK, click on "View Player Scores". I kept playing after I was sure we'd won it, just to take me past the 2 million mark.

What's your secret? Hit the ball in the net!!! Aim for ball at knee height as it passes you. Aim for the I and O in the word direction when hitting penalties - Easy!! Simples! Good score! I've still never managed to get past the 100,000 mark. Just when I'm doing well the keeper seems to wake up and I hit a run of saves.

We'll have our work cut out next week! This week's score would have put us 9th in the Premiership.

I think we need some new signings - we'll never make it to the Premiership with only 17 people in the squad.

"...Massone told BBC Scotland that a fund-raising appeal to supporters only generated ?149.50"

That's not actually the case. Consumers aren't obliged to pay VAT at all, they just pay the retail price/subscription fee of whatever they are buying. The supplier of the goods/services is obliged to account for VAT at the appropriate rate and hand it over to the relevant government, regardless of what VAT (if any) they charged on to the consumer. In Setanta's case, an element of the subscription fee comprises Luxembourg VAT, and no UK VAT at all. The Lux. VAT rate is actually just 3% after checking it out. So if the subscription is ?12.99 a month, Setanta get ?12.61 and 38p goes to the Luxembourg tax man. If however the transaction was subject to UK VAT instead, Setanta would get just ?11.30 and ?1.69 would go to Gordon Brown. Not quite - according to HMRC "If you're VAT-registered you must charge VAT on all goods and services you sell unless they are exempt from VAT" - effectively if you're a UK company you are required to collect the tax from your customers. Similar conditions apply in all member states. Apart from the semantics of that, your sums are correct. My understanding of the problem, however, is that it has nothing to do with moving to Luxembourg, and is simply an unpaid bill for VAT dating back to when they were legally based in Ireland/UK.

Hmm, The Gauger - with the emphasis on "Gau".

Yes, back in 1997, but I don't think so since then.

Unfortunately, I was out with an injury (power supply :mellow: ) tonight, so I couldn't contribute. We'll do it next week!

Oh well, 2nd place, but we've won promotion to League 2 anyway.

I thought he was also pretty sound last week at Pittodrie, having voiced my concerns before the kick-off. But doesn't it worry you that he shares his initials with "Drop-Zone"?
