I think the words 'total boll*cks' should suffice from here. That's laughable.

Like that nice Mr Tim Hocks who wanted to offer them some magic beans...

Nah - I reckon he's just in it for himself. It would be really poor timing (for Hicks) if it was Hicks.

He's applying to work behind the counter at Texas Homestores.

I normally agree with a lot of your posts mate, but you're reaching badly here. Owners of businesses, sporting and otherwise come from all over the shop - including America, and as in all walks etc, some are bad, good, indifferent...if they really possessed the 'oh well' attitude they wouldn't get involved in the first place given their reputation and trackable history. I'm no fan of 'America' with a capital 'A' (or capitalist 'A', if you will) and know first hand myself how bad they can be - but also how good they can be. Tarring 350m people with the same brush is just too broad a stroke.

Indeed - Snookie puts it very clearly. Capitalist business principles and models breed greed and corruption and yet not all businessmen and women are greedy and corrupt. Where they come from is immaterial.

RBS (who are on the bill tomorrow v. Hicks) reckon tomorrow is to finalise it - their interim hearing and injunctions being granted and taken out last Friday and to be decided upon tomorrow.

C'mon mal - nearly there..sing up! 'When you walk....' (runs for cover)

The real Lim shady?

Come on, be fair - if it's not warm I'm not interested.

Gosh *sniff*

Not 'arf! You see? All right there in the subtext

...except the news from the Lim camp says he's thinking of putting in a higher bid - not that he had done so at the time, so it makes no odds. As it turns out Hicks and Gillett have been in default with RBS since the 6th, so the duty of the board was and is to the creditors and not the shareholders anyway.

Yep - RBS already have injunctions in place from Friday - it's all back about ten pages - worth reading up

Nope. Deal with NESV is signed and agreed - get clearance tomorrow as per Broughton and RBS's statements and thatv should be it.

Ah - we're entering zombie/mutant/film noir territory now, or as I like to call it - Newport.

You didn't complain! Same here - hopefully not much longer now, eh?

Could be - maybe the one you found is pre-crash, or counting in Singaporean dollars or something?

The very person! I think we see why he was junked then Pats. Hope you're well and everything?

It doesn't. Hicks is in default with RBS anyway, and all that's needed is a declaratory relief statement from the court saying that MB and the board acted within there remit in authorising the sale and Hicks can't change the board. RBS have basically already called this today in their statement. You are adayinthelife and I claim my £5 from the illuminati. Absolutely - shot himself in both feet there.

As Hicks is fond of Forbes - this from them Singaporean top 40 rich list #7 Peter Lim 08.23.07, 6:00 PM ET © Singapore Press Holdings, Ltd.
