It has to be a 'Widnae', purely because of the way she is holding that Buckie boatil by the neck. Shows a slight lack of decorum. Otherwise, a great catch.

Things you want to share with P&B
Florentine_Pogen replied to Ad Lib's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
Did you accidentally put the cat in the micro ? Invite the local minister round for tea and offer him a piece of 'chocolate cake' which was in fact made with your own faeces ? Some bairns kicked their ball into your garden and you put a knife through it ? Did you accidentally, whilst very, very drunk, invite the local charity shop into your home and ask them to empty out your wife's wardrobe ? Were you caught 'in flagrante delicto' with the babysitter / sister-in-law / mother-in-law / brother-in-law ? We need to know. You betcha............... -

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/sep/15/free-money-gambling-ads-ditched-bookmakers Free money’ gambling ads set to be ditched under new industry rules Major bookmakers commit to voluntary ban on offers in sign-up advertising in effort to fend off tough statutory measures • TV gambling ads rise 600% since law change John Reynolds theguardian.com, Monday 15 September 2014 13.25 BST TV gambling ads that offer punters “free money” if they sign up with bookmakers online, including Ray Winstone’s commercials for Bet365, are expected to be ditched under new rules proposed by the industry. William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral and Paddy Power committed to a series of measures on Monday as they look to head off tough statutory measures that threaten the prevalence of betting shops, high-speed roulette machines and aggressive punter-recruitment adverts promising “free money”. These measures including a promise “to introduce a voluntary TV advertising ban on sign-up offers (free bets and free money) before 9pm”. Such commercials typically offer customers free money in return for registering online with a bookie. All the leading bookies offer such “free bets”, as a means of drawing in new customers. According to estimates, such free bets amount to around 20% of the four bookies’ TV advertising. Ladbrokes, William Hill, Coral and Paddy Power have now committed to not run such ads from 1 October, with the rest of the industry expected to follow suit. An example of such advertising is the long running campaign for online-only bookmaker Bet365 featuring Winstone which offers gamblers a free “deposit bonus” of £200 if they sign up. Bet365 is expected to sign up to the new pledges in the coming months, which will be overseen by a new industry body, the Senet Group. A spokesman for the Senet Group said: “We are in discussions with the industry and hope that more organisations will join.” The other key measures proposed by the bookmakers are the withdrawal of all advertising of gaming machines from betting shop windows and a commitment that 20% of shop window advertising will go towards responsible gambling messages. Further pledges from the industry, to be introduced from the start of next year, will be the funding of a major new advertising campaign to educate people on responsible gambling, and for all TV advertising to carry more responsible gambling messages. Richard Glynn, chief executive of Ladbrokes, said: “Gambling has long been a leisure pursuit and part of the cultural fabric of the UK, but we are alive to the concerns of the public to keep gambling a responsible and fun activity.” James Henderson, chief executive of William Hill, said: “The launch of the Senet Group sets a benchmark by which we and the betting industry can be judged.” Carl Leaver, group chief executive of Gala Coral, said: “Actions speak louder than words. That’s why the Senet Group will be given the independence, budget and purpose to hold the betting industry to account.” Patrick Kennedy, chief executive of Paddy Power, said: “Putting responsible gambling at the heart of our business is simply the right thing to do.” The pledges were announced on Monday in a full-page open letter published as an ad in national newspapers by the bosses of the four companies. The number of gambling commercials on British TV rocketed from 234,000 a year to nearly 1.4m annually between the deregulation of the sector in 2007 and 2012, according to Ofcom research published in November last year. The research showed that viewers were bombarded with 1.39m gambling ads in 2012, with under-16s exposed to an average of 211 ads each.

(This was purloined from 'elsewhere.') Soooo..... The share issue raised £2.63 million at first. This is approx. 65% of total. If we assume no over subscription, then 2/3 of shareholders weighed in. Then the Easedales kicked in their £500k. If we assume that the repayment of their loan was to happen as part of the funding, a full subscription would have left Sevco with approx. £2.3 million extra cash to see them through to agm. As it is, assuming Letham gets his million, they have around £1.4 million extra cash (Letham' due a bigger vig for waiting). Again, assuming Oor Imran got £300k, Sevco can probably meet Sept and Oct payroll but there is no wriggle room at all.... So if Wallace is actually 'on gardening leave' and is due up to £800k in settlement.... We may see another thrilling instalment of 'Ringfence Alley' on our screens soon..... Dum Dum Dum! In all seriousness, who took the shares is gonna be the biggest hint to how this is gonna end..... Let's see what happens if a certain cabal ends up controlling over 75%....it's a pretty magic number in admin terms. And given Sevco has only one creditor, RIFC Ltd., who would control a CVA again?
