...the moderator who has to spend hours moving all the shite takeover rumours to the 'shite rumour' section.

i dont envy fet bob, yloop and mouldy who will be getting thousands of texts saying where is this friggin takeover from the mass people they've passed on the info too.

All that aside, can I ask Fetish Bob, Yloop and Grumpy old Mouldy where this announcement is?

if it was a wind up its probably the best one i've ever seen, it didn't half snowball

It isn't.

it isn't a wind up? or it isnt the best one i've ever seen?

It's not a windup (on our part at least). Some people in the Pools office will be having a right laugh about now I would imagine, either because the news has been delayed or they've conjured something. Either way it's fairly irresponsible that the story has got out without it being ready for announcement.

So it didn't come from Mark Simpson, well worked out detective Chip

I don't think it was Henry the programme seller either, he's not the type.

That leaves Professor Plum in the Ritchie Humphreys memorial Library, possibly with an errant mobile phone!

Aside from this anyway, I was sure this would happen today after what I'd heard and who from. Now I'm wondering if we've all been had. If we have then it's a good un I'll give them that. I just wish I'd thought of it because the level it's got to is quite simply incredible.
