What the hell is going on?

I heard that the holdup is centred around the CVA, surely who/who doesnt pay the CVA should have been settled long ago?[/quote]

Domino's or Pizza Hut that is the question?

they flew out to Portugal to have talks with Jose Mourinho.

They want him to replace Sturrock.

In the next few days exect Sturrock to be back for poor results. Only scoring 4 against Bournemouth. Pfft.

Are you going to Millwall Bart?

Who told you that?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

To be honest i'm glad you've bought this up as it means that it's not the case at all and couldn't be further from the truth, implying that the CVA has nothing to do with any hold up and al is well.

Thanks Bart :thumbs:

word on the street is they are no longer welcome at the county ground, and im afraid i think bart has hit the nail on the head with respect to the cva.

Oh my god- another rift- there is a suprise, wonder who should we ask is the centre of this one?

If in doubt (insert comment here) Bob Holt

hmmm given the fact the CVA was mentioned in the BBC radio Swindon interview I dont think the CVA has anything to do with them not being at the game.

Are you going to Millwall Bart? I'm not taking the piss.

From what I heard (from Mex) it's very discerning.

I'm worried.

The sticking points the CVA?

What a pile of steaming turds!

That's the one thing they would've known about......................

It's not that they didn't know about it, it's that they don't want to pay it...

I take no Little/Brevitt as a good sign.....can't see us having much of a future with that crazy set-up.....

They have been banned from the county ground by diamandis

How do you know this Bart?

Proof??

Someone posted it on the adver forum. Wouldnt suprise me if it were true, lets be honest who aint diamandis fallen out with

Me  :mrgreen:

Surely that has got to be bollocks :twisted:

agreed.

lets wait and see.

Maybe another rift? wonder if this one will be denied

I don't think Bart's talking to me. Oh well.

i plan to be, you can cuddle me instead?

isn't it about the bill power thing as well? if so, you can hardly blame them for not wanting to bail out diamandis and co for something that is/was their issue.

the cva, however, is tricky. in one respect, it's not their problem. the consistent failures of the board over the past five or six years has caused the club to lurch through cva payments, keeping it's head barely above water. on the other hand, if they don't pay it they'll have no club to buy.

it wouldn't surprise me if diamandis is playing silly buggers again, it's not as if he's never done it before is it?

I'd be suprised that if there is a problem that it is anything to do with the CVA/Power. The situation of each were well documented via the media weeks in advance, due dilligence would surely have delved even deeper before the 'exchange' of contracts.

I believe they were in talks with Jose Mourinho

Bart always gets grief from you lot, yet always seems to be very close to know whats going on.

  Its the mentality of ther mob YR.....some on here would have been :clap:  witch burners in the Middle Ages

It makes sense that the sticking point is the cva.

When we met him, Jim Little was very clear that they would pay the CVA along with the other long-term debts when they took over. And that has been consistently taken as a basic in comments by all sides. So if it is a sticking point now, it would seem to be quite a turn-round from what was being taken as a given just a few weeks ago.

 Maybe they've had a recce,  decided that its a no go and are looking for a dignified exit.....hope so.

I reckon that the sellers are playing silly buggers and won't sign over the club until it's paid and the buyers won't pay until the club is sihned over to them. Hence crazy stalemate action.

I've just made that story up though, but it sounds good, admit it.

Well, yes, except that that's what exchanging contracts in any deal is all about - you pay the monies owed when the contracts are signed and exchanged. It's a basic of any business deal. In that respect, it's a lot like buying a house .....

Maybe someone doesn't want to be homeless.

 I think what Bob said, was that it was like buying a louse.

  Complicated by all sorts of quarantine, export/import regs and the fact its just plain scary.

   Look at the problems caused by this bad boy.

    http://blogs.acceleration.net/images/blogs_acceleration_net/russ/6/r_Giant_isopod.jpg

is that a hardcore headlice or something?!?  :D

it's headlice plural?

  It was found in the home dressing room showers, so quite likely.....nah only joking.....its easy to confuse the familiar wood louse type critter, which is an isopod, or member of the crustacea genus.....with the less familiar for some of us, headlouse type critter, which is an insect.

 The bad boy in the pic is a marine isopod hence its giganticism.

I really can't handle marine isopod and whoosh's this morning.

Housemate's cooking a fryup though, so it's not all bad.

Get him to chuck in a marine isopod - could feed a house of six on that.

You cunt. I'm off to visit armitage shanks again.

Yey, Jabba.

2+2=5

  Jabba jabba hey...I don't want to be a pinhead no more....

I think you'll find it equals four.

  Thats right...2 marine isopods + two marine isopods = 4 marine isopods.

  Not sure about supermarine isopods though  :?

Those giant isopods types tend to be solitary scavengers which aren't above a bit of cannibalism. I think if you put 4 together you'd soon have only 1 or 2.

They'd be pretty ace in some sort of real life pokemon game.

you guys!

so to summarise this thread, no-one knows anything, but everyone likes to think that they do.

same old say mould.

You forgot to mention the Isopods!

  Its a fair point....they're also not above scavenging on dead manatee.

Dell Boy had the decency to reply to my pm. Bart couldn't even give me a yes or no.

Buying a house would probably be less complicated.

Probably not, but then I doubt they encounter dead manatees very often.

  You've obviously never checked out the manatee graveyard off the coast of Florida....a mecca for  Bathynomus giganteus

I thought our friendly giant cousins of the woodlouse only lived in proper deep waters? I was under the impression that manatees like to stay in shallower waters. Hence why they are often ripped up by boats. Poor things.

That was horribly worded, even for me. I originally said Our giant woodlice cousins,  but that made it sound like humans had evolved closely with some giant woodlice, which is silly. Then I tried to edit it and confused myself. I think you can see what I meant.

hole. dig. stop.

  Not as silly as it may seem....it is thought that vertebrates, so also humans evolved a central nervous system, out of invertebrate marine creatures like the sea squirt.

   The seas squirt, basically takes in fluids and squirts them out....bit like some birds.

 :evil:  Signing contracts means nothing. I found out the hard way.... :(

I'm sure our giant isopod friends are relieved that the Dysdera crocata ("woodlouse hunter") didn't go down a similar evolutionary path of Deep-sea gigantism. Imagine a big fuck of aquatic one of these hunting you down.

Do you get aquatic spiders? It's not something I've ever really thought about.

http://tiger.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/sea_spider.jpg

Not sure about aquatic spiders, but you do get air-borne spiders, which can travel vast distances....by making kite tail type structures from their threads.....they can go up to the stratosphere....here though they can become food for swifts, who can fly at 10,000 ft.

  I've always thought it good news that chitin, the material from which arthrpods are composed, doesn't allow the buggers to get to big.

 I always say you learn something new every day....you going to have one in your fish tank?

my uncle had a giant gourami in his fish tank. its the only house ive ever been in with a guard fish.

nah, they're marine animals, don't think the fish would like the salt.

You see you say that but I think we're a lot closer to the truth on the giant aquatic woodlice-relative issue.

Ear wig go again.
