There you go. No surprise, no drama, no slander

Keyser Soze speaks and then disappears once more

calling somebody a liar, in a court case whatever next

Well, I disagree but we'll see if it goes anywhere I watch court proceedings pretty much every day, and a lot of the time the link is still open but people are just talking. Maybe I'm just too used to that sort of thing for it to be a surprise to me.

Don't think that applies when it's being streamed live mind and heard by quite a few people also. Looks like a few are reporting this also to the courts and press, may get interesting. You can go and sit in any court in the country and hear legal teams talking to each other this way on the benches when the judge has gone back to their chambers. Honestly, there's nothing unusual here imo it's the nature of court hearings that one side thinks the other is lying. That's why they're there

Woman from Barclays is entitled to her opinion; if the court wasn't sitting I'm not sure what people expect to complain about I have been called all sorts of things by barristers, and called them similar things back, when the judge isn't there or outside the court

I would have no objections to winning everything by buying success, none at all but I don't think that's what'll happen, and I would be happy being more Leicester than Manchester

I wish there was something else going on in the world so sports reporters didn't feel the need to comment on every bit of inconsequential non-news that comes up

As above

sometimes only a stone fact will suffice

Penn told us who the Americans are weeks and weeks ago

I've never been 100% confident, but I'm not any less confident because it's taking considerably more time than people who are not involved in the process said it should take Ashley's continued silence speaks volumes to me.

Do people think the WTO have any jurisdiction here? It's entitled to its opinion but it's not a criminal court and as I recall the germane part of the test related to criminality? FWIW I wouldn't be in the least surprised that this dragging out is to give the exercise a veneer of rigour. If they're still asking questions, it's very much still ongoing. It's when they stop asking questions and we've still heard nowt that we should worry (imo).

You did not

This one's better anyway tbh

That's the attitude kidda

It used to be called the Manchester Guardian but I think it's a long way from its northern roots now I don't think they hate Newcastle United nearly as much as they hate Saudi Arabia, but at the end of the day they're just like any other news source; you have to look past their angle to find the actual news and make your own mind up

Why would the opinion of the WTO carry more weight than the judgement of a French court who (apparently) have already ruled on this matter..? I mean, the thread was ready for its periodic course correction but the extremes of mood are getting ever more extreme now

I'm extremely surprised that you're taking this position

Well I'm about ten miles inland from you in Longframlington and definitely haway here; the Alnwick and Rothbury influence is strong
