When's the divorce?ForeverAddickted said:I've tried to call the Clarendon a few times for a romantic get away with the missus
Funny you should say that...
A friend's Mrs called me in the early hours saying that my mate had gone missing following a huge bust up during a night out in Blackheath. I told her to, 'Call the Clarendon.'
She did, but to no avail as they're under no obligation to say who is staying there. Later on the police became involved due to his on-going medical condition, and when they called the Clarendon it was revealed that he was indeed there (quelle suprise). He incidentally was in no rush to leave as he had yet to have the breakfast that he'd paid for.
So the moral of the story is to always get the police to call the Clarendon for you ... oh and don't have bust ups with your Mrs in Blackheath - it didn't end well btw - they've been divorced for six years!7 -
Funny that...I just called them and they answered with "Hello, Red Bull Clarendon" whilst going on to say they are moving into a stadium being built on the peninsula.Callumcafc said:Just called the Clarendon and they mentioned something about a new stadium being built on the peninsula?3 -

I too heard the done by 1 July story from an unreliable source.
It would make sense for any buyer to take ownership at the start of a tax year but makes more sense for a seller to get rid before a new tax year begins.
Nothing to stop a deal being done a
now and announced that comes into effect on 1July.

Exactly. He's definitely there and in fact a mate of mine saw his car parked out the front. A sticker in the window said quite clearly 'MD On Call'.I'm here all week.

Bernard¶zs Duchatelet was wondering around Amsterdam.
His wife said "I don't want anymore kids".
He said "Neither do I. Our gene pool, huh"
She said "Then I guess we're kind of f*cked. Remember that little shit we had with the yellow teeth?"
"I saw him dancing in Liege with no shoes on"4 -

Just thought I’d share my own thoughts regarding the whole situation. Anyone can tell me I am wrong but would like to have proof of that to be completely honest.
For me, if you look closer without over analysing what has been said and done, there is more to this than just a negotiation tactic or Roland being spiteful. Once the statement was released yesterday, there was a few hour window before Roland called Bowyer and said he would like to agree what had been spoken of beforehand.
Firstly, for what reason would Roland call him and offer to agree on the previous conversation? For what reason would he agree to pay Bowyer more than he was prepared to offer him before?
Secondly, the use of having two separate main objectives. One keeping Bowyer and the other selling the club. So why all of a sudden did Roland combine the two objectives when he made it clear yesterday that he believed that selling the club could be made easier if we didn’t have a permanent manager?
We know that his main objective is to sell the club. Even if he is making a right pigs ear of it. We also know that it wasn’t until very recently that Roland started to take the negotiations with Bowyer seriously, that the club had been dragging their heels and not too bothered.
Finally, Roland said on talksport this morning that he found a solution by combining the two objectives, in order to keep Bowyer and to keep the attractiveness of selling the club. But as I said, Roland has already made it clear that his sole ability was to sell the club and that Bowyer not accepting the initial disarray offer meant they were unable to come to an agreement.
For me, this points to one thing.
In between the time the statement went out and Roland calling Bowyer, Roland spoke to one of or more than one of the potential new owners and it was made clear to him that the attractiveness of selling the club would be less if Bowyer was not kept on.
That in turn kicked him into gear and suddenly he ‘found a solution by combining the two objectives’, but really he was more told that they would be less interested if Roland did not sort it out.
Even in the crazy world of Roland and what we have experienced over the last 5 and a half years, and over the last 24 hours. We know Roland thinks of one thing and one thing only, himself. And if Bowyer leaving meant that the sale of the club would be put into jeopardy, that would hurt Roland. He was forced to do the right thing in order to save himself.
Ultimately, I hope this means that the sale is very soon and we can be rid of this nonsense and all move on happy. Getting behind Bowyer and the team like we did last season, but without the worry of that lingering disease in the background.
