RE: Beer tie not to blame for struggling pubs > RE: Beer tie not to blame for struggling pubs
Ken, we have had yet another thread locked because of your incessant blathering and distracting people from what really matters with your childish sniping. You take umbridge and get on your high horse any time someone mentions qualifications or professionalism as if you feel threatened by it or that people of such ilk are in some way deficient when compared to yourself. Risible in the extreme. In my time on this forum I have in actuality NEVER seen you post anything of the merit I would expect from someone in an advisory position and so, with no reluctance whatsoever, myself and anyone else who cares about and are able to contribute to intelligent discussion, will totally ignore you in future.

Beer tie not to blame for struggling pubs > Beer tie not to blame for struggling pubs
David, very well googled, however I have read alternative accounts so we will agree to disagree on a subject that is clearly irrelevant to the subject at hand. As I recall before I was distracted by rhetoric, the issue is Enterprise lying about the effect of the beer tie and their supporters wheedling for information on how Fairpint are going to address it. I would say that although I am a member of FP, I have nothing to do in any way with their plan of attack. My professional analysis of the data to hand tells me that the strategy of effectively ignoring their BS until they're ready to lock and load is perfectly correct. The truth is known by all parties concerned and just saying it ain't so will only serve to put a rope around the pubcos collective necks which, I for one, will roundly applaud. |

I've never actually thought of pubs as a 'game' but then my current sharp-end experience as husband of a licencee qualifies me more than most to play it, hence why I give no support to the pubcos whatsoever. I also find that all the rhetoric around the 'big bad pubcos' and their implied 'invulnerability' is merely scaremongering for reasons I have already analysed. No-one is above the law and any suggestion that the Fairpint initiative is in any kind of trouble whatsoever, is to paraphrase 'S' .. la la land. |

Well done for successfully Googling Agincourt but if you knew anything about horses you'd realise that the muddy ground wasn't that significant. The ability of the archers to each have three arrows in the air simultaneously certainly was. As I said before, Fairpints' strategy is absolutely correct and it would be a mistake to allow the pubcos to drive the debate by allowing them to extract information on what evidence they will be facing before it is necessary. Clearly the pubcos have supporters on these fora who attempt to provoke the Fairpint people into showing their hand but its a waste of time. Sorry. |

'S' , I think that 'smart' is a relative term although its normally fairly easy to identify the smart people by their professional qualifications which they pronounce if required so to do. The less smart tend to adopt a more vague position which I believe you've spotted for yourself. I would much rather that these fora returned to their rightful purpose rather than pathetic sniping by those with inferiority complexes. |

Sam, actually not true. He KNOWS he's up to his neck in doggy doo-doo and he's praying that they're rescued by their REIT status coming down the pipe before the sewerage heading their way. I have every reason to believe that REIT status is 100/1 against. Why? Because they have to be squeaky clean....... and they ain't. |

I've always found that a battle of wits with the woefully unarmed is a thankless task. |

Data is data and is in its original form, raw. How it is then processed and manipulated is the key to producing the required results. Comparison to other data streams is irrelevant because each data stream is treated in isolation to ensure purity of the same. Thereafter the option exists to create a relational database ( not an XLS file) with each data stream occupying their own tables ( before you glibly comment, a separate SGA is un-necessary ) for further relative analysis and correlation. Clear enough? Good. Chris Roberts CCNP MSCP |

Tosh? Absolutely Clearly there is confused thinking here so allow me to elucidate. Rebutting the pubco press releases is a tactical but not strategic initiative and will have little if any effect on the overall result which is governed by strategy. Fairpint keeping their powder dry is exactly the right thing to do because the pubcos by these media releases are showing their hand. The longer their lies are in the public domain, the greater the impact when they are exposed for what they are. Historically, at Agincourt the French were shot to pieces by the English archers solely because the English refused to fight earlier tactical skirmishes. The same will happen to the pubcos. Incidentally the Agincourt archers originated the 'V' sign with the two fingers that we all know so well. So to a few of you here, V |
