Wasn't it Ricky (I'll spell his name properly, even if he himself will insist on spelling it like he's a Nordic porn actor) Hunt that also took out the copyright on Swindon City Football Club?

How will they make it secure? It's going to be a difficult task, but the town will be attracting all sorts of hustlers. maybe that fit one may make an appearance?'

Beat me to it bennett!!

I might be wrong but I think if Swindon became a city and wanted to become Swindon City then they would have to get the sunday league team to change their name as you can't have 2 clubs with the same name registered at the FA!

1) What the fuck does "ma olen taimetoitlane" mean?
2) What language is that anyway?
3) How cool is it that a TEF thread for "ma olen taimetoitlane" is 2nd on the 1st google page.
4) How the fuck did I miss the Toasties thread?

Still, depending on access requirements and the refreshing and distribution of IPs, it could save some people some money on proxies.

I think it is bang out of order that Swindon Council "loan" this new company £450,000 of Swindon tax payers money to help them out, that is a hell of a risk, and since when did the swindon residents agree to investing in this company

Fair comment. Love the idea of free wifi, but it is the company not the tax payer that should take the burden of risk.

Where does it say they've loaned them money? My understanding was that they'd put up a third of the cash in return for a third of the company, so if it works they'll make money out of it.
