Started as Charlton, 18 games in and 8th place. Didn't manage to make hardly any signings due to nobody wanting to sign any of my players.

Kermogant, Wilson, Solly and Pritchard seem to be the heros in the team. Just lost 6-2 to Palace. That was a low point.

Struggling to find a tactic that doesn't consistently ship goals.

Anyone got any tips? Cheap players to sign?]]> http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/55336/ja Fri, 24 May 2013 18:51:11 +0000 Not Sports Related CyrilDavies 55336@/discussions http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/55333/charlton-liberal-club-soul-night-ska-night Fri, 24 May 2013 18:21:57 +0000 Not Sports Related mata 55333@/discussions Ska night 7th September

I've netted most stuff off, put sticks in the ground to stop them squatting, and short of getting some lions poop or a gattling gun, I'm running out of ideas. They are sensible enough to keep out during daylight hours, and the foul deeds take place at night.

I know we have a principle of innocent until proven guilty and tbh it goes against the grain to think this way but it seems to me that we have reached a stage now, (with forensics, surveillance techniques, cameras on every street, etc) leading to cases coming up every so often where the weight of evidence is just so overwhelming that we need a fast track process to determine whether a full jury trial on a not guilty plea is remotely justifiable and if not a scaled down process to consider any mitigating circumstances should be triggered.

Dangerous ground perhaps but we know that the two people involved yesterday did what they did so why should we now put the family of the deceased through the potential trauma of a full trial at which they are likely to make further political capital in an attempt to justify their actions.]]> http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/55285/jimi-hendrix-on-sky-arts Wed, 22 May 2013 11:18:55 +0000 Not Sports Related pettgra 55285@/discussions When engineers were putting together backing tracks, he had this uncanny knack of knowing which ones would work backwards as well.

I am being made redundant on Friday, however I will be on 3 months gardening leave (full pay) then I get my dough.
But I am owed a bonus, this goes back to feb/march. It was with held, against my contract conditions, I had advice then to possibly proceed with legal action, but I did not want to compromise my position??, but obviously things change. And the person I took advice from has moved on.
Regarding this money, I have paper work (my contract) and no where does it say it cannot be withheld, the bonus is paid on completion of each project.
So my questions are, if I take action against my company while I'm on gardening leave, can they withhold any monies while waiting the outcome. Or do I have to suffer the lose and move on?

I have looked online but I think I need to talk to someone face to face, so any contacts or advice will be most welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Bexley in south east London had six of the 10 worst postcodes studied, with the worst postcode, DA7, having nearly half of its eateries inspected (45%) rated as lower than "generally satisfactory", the watchdog found.

In contrast, none of the food outlets inspected in Birmingham's B35 area received a score below "generally satisfactory".

Which? looked at Food Standards Agency hygiene ratings in postcodes across England, Northern Ireland and Wales from January 2011 to March this year, finding wide variations between different areas and high street chains.

It found 18% of La Tasca outlets inspected had a rating of less than "generally satisfactory", while 13% of Little Chefs inspected had low ratings.

Three in 10 Chicken Cottage outlets (29%) and a quarter (26%) of Dixy Chicken takeaway shops inspected were rated below "generally satisfactory".

A number of convenience store chains also had around a fifth of their outlets inspected rated less than "generally satisfactory", including Best-In and Best-One (22%), Costcutter (21%), Premier (21%) and Londis (20%).

But some major chains had no poor scores recorded at all, including Carluccio's, Eat, Marriot Hotels, Premier Inn and Zizzi.

A survey to accompany the study found that 75% of consumers would not eat at a food outlet that received a hygiene rating below generally satisfactory.

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: "Our investigation shows that food hygiene is an unacceptable postcode lottery.

"Diners shouldn't be taking a risk with their health simply by choosing the wrong area in which to eat out.

"We want everywhere that serves food to the public to display their hygiene score prominently so people can make an informed choice."

I keep hearing, often from people from tax advisory, that it is all the fault of our law, which needs to brought up to date.

I beg to differ. It is the fault of HMRC and politicians who fail to understand how these businesses actually work. They keep saying it is so complicated. Oh yes? Well let me offer you a little analogy.

Suppose you build up a successful little business in, say, plumbing. Your sister lives in Dublin, and is an Internet wizard. You open up your company in Dublin, and "route the sales" as Amazon calls it, through the invoicing service your sister provides. For good measure she designs you a nice little website which is housed on an Irish server. Nevertheless your customers, and the central heating, taps and washing machines you fix, are all based in SE London

Try telling HMRC that you are eligible for Irish and not British corporation tax, because you have "routed the sales" through Dublin, and see where that gets you.

I don't see any substantive difference with what Amazon and Google are doing.

It is very difficult to "boycott" Google, but I have managed to almost 100% boycott Amazon since before Christmas. One thing in particular is, if it is a Marketplace deal, to see whether the vendor is online, and then buy directly from them. I wrote to Amazon telling them what I am doing, and will do so again after today's reports.]]> http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/29852/today-i-will-mostly-be-listening-to Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:14:00 +0000 Not Sports Related Riscardo 29852@/discussions Duck Sauce
