I'm sorry TDD, but you must be living in cloud cuckoo land, or you're just not old enough to have lived through the detail.

Since the change away from CRT screens for both computers and television, the standards have closed. I can't be sure, but I believe an HDTV will be perfectly acceptable as a monitor. The trick is finding the model with the necessary inputs. Remember, you don't need to dwindle your options by having an onboard TV tuner. You could always have a separate box. You may find something at Novatech. http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/AudioVisual/LCDTVs/ BTW, is that a Morini 3½ in the avatar..?

I remember Thatcher's words on entering 10 Downing St... Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope. Yeah, I looked them up to make sure I got them correct. She was quoting St Francis of Assisi. The truth is... where there was discord, she made sure there was plenty. Where there was error, she added to it. Where there was doubt, she undoubtedly removed it for many, and replaced it with absolute despair. Don't runaway with the idea that because she was a great leader, that she was actually good for the country.

I don't think we do. But we might. I'd have both.

Us and Them. And after all, we're only ordinary men...

That much..?

Might be an idea to play the last two games first though. All those pound notes for League placings, up for grabs.

Post match Reaction thread now open. Ta.

Why not have a Spotify thread, in The Arts forum..? BTW, any chance of moderating the language..?

I imagine nothing more than a confirmation of his intention to stay with Saints. It would be absolutely ridiculous, after all the hype and build up of that article, for Rickie to say.. well thanks folks, but I'm off at the earliest opportunity. Lambert has never played above League One, and would almost certainly like to have the chance. But I'm sure he'll give Saints another season or two, and be promoted within a scenario he knows very well and is comfortable with. He's a big fish in a potentially huge pond.

I've used Paint Shop Pro X for donkey's years, because I certainly wasn't going to pay out huge money for Photoshop. Despite it being quite clunky in its later versions, it does almost everything Photoshop can do, even though some people swear it can't. The latest version I have is V.8, and that was a copy, and I don't think I need anything better. Besides, I believe Corel have bought the software, and that's a bad move in my book. If it was slightly clunky but very useable before, it'll just be clunky now.

If you liked that, the Beeb ran the 10 Things You Didn't Know About Volcanoes programme the other day. Bit of fun, although I was p!ssed off the Scottish One didn't mention Mt Ruapehu in NZ.

Yep. I feel more disappointment at this time, than perhaps I should. Saints are still not mathematically out of the contest yet, but might as well be, the chance is so slim. But it has still been an excellent season, and although the club will almost certainly be in the same league, it will be the stronger for it. One senses there's a real structure and professionalism at St Marys which is otherwise not to be found outside of the Premiership. Although nothing can be guaranteed in football, it can only be a matter of a few seasons before the club are among the elite again. And in that scenario, we won't be one of the small-fry. From this standpoint, I'd like to see Pardew in that setup.

Seems quite pragmatic to me.

inbetween

Adrian Chiles departure to ITV will bring them about 1 or 2% temporary extra viewers, mainly from people who still think he's on the BBC. They'll work it out after the first few advert breaks. As Saints aren't playing, I'll have little interest in the World Cup anyway. Although England and Italy will provide a small respite from boredom, if there's nothing else on, and my social life has suddenly gone into freefall.
