Apologies to those who haven't seen it before, but it does get slightly annoying when someone posts the latest gee-whizz thing and half the forum have already seen it, half a dozen times, ad nauseum. I've been guilty of it myself, and got exactly the same treatment, so the reaction is nothing new. Note to self: must try to be more patient with posters.

Chatham rule..? Do you mean Chatham House rule, hammy..?

Yes, it is fantastic, but it has been posted three times before, that I have seen, so there might even be more times.

And we had an amazingly fit French teacher who was, for one thing, French, and with a superb accent. And for another, she used to get a couple of big chalk dust marks on her sweater from writing the date, high up on the blackboard. That sort of thing is very provocative for 11-12 year old lads to handle. Sadly, she was only there for one term. I wonder why..?

Nah, I never fancied Princess Leia, at the time either. Never fancied Carrie Fisher, tbh. Thought Kate Bush was a bit special back then, But I shared that opinion with about half the male population in 1980's GB, so it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Didn't we used to do that fairly regularly???? I like your optimism LGTC, but it will have to be all our Christmas's at once from now until the end of the season. Hope Santa brings me a Ricky Hat Trick on Saturday, then....... Funnily enough, I think Saints have some bloody good results against Liverpool. For example, we've beaten them at Anfield quite a few times.

That almost exactly what I thought when I read SS's one liner.

FWIW, I think YOU'VE made a very good point. I've had this conversation with Alpine before about being provocative, and over-reacting. He takes it onboard, but can't help himself somethimes. I think people could cut him some slack, tbh, and debate properly, rather than resort to insult. And Alpine, if you're reading this, so could you. Strange as it may seem, but no-one is an arsehole because they disagree with anyone else. They just happen to disagree. If a reasoned argument is put before them, and they still disagree, then I would ask for reasons why. Not call them an arsehole. That doesn't do anything but get them to dig their heels in deeper. Then they never shift their opinion.

Funny, if you go on Youtube, you can see/hear various versions of Mrs Robinson, even a Beatles cover, or so 'tis said. They are actually ALL the Simon & Garfunkel version. I know Art Garfunkel's distinct voice in a thousand. I think you're quite safe.

They certainly haven't released a version. But they may have jammed in the studio, and had it recorded on tape. Various bands, over the years, have recorded songs which were never released. For example, Jimi Hendrix's catalogue of unreleased material was quite large, and he jammed quite a few songs that you wouldn't have expected of him. Mrs Robinson was written for the film, The Graduate, by Paul Simon, which was released in 1967. So, I would imagine the song to have been written in 1966 or 67. I think S&G released a complete version of the song as a single in 1968.

Partially blown head gasket..? Wait until the engine warms up thoroughly, then get someone to blip the accelerator while you hold your hand or a mirror next to the exhaust. If you get appreciable moisture, that's where your water is going. If it is this, there is a product called Steelseal, It's a US Product, and if it is suitable for the problem you have, and if you adhere to the manufacturer's instructions, it will cure it.

What's this..? Have you bought a bike mate..? Sorry, no trailer. If I had one, I'd gladly lend it.

Yeah, I am in regular contact with two people who have PlusNet, and they have very few problems with them, if any at all. Good value, fast, and no fuss. I sometimes wonder why I don't have it myself. I think it's called Apathy..!

Yep, it's a Dog thread.

FWIW, I think Alpine makes a very good point.

6 points would have been better. Isn't that the bottom line..?

That will never happen, and I'm glad of that. If we were of the ilk of Wycombe Wanderers, then perhaps we could indulge in a draw against a bigger team. But this is Southampton FC, only 5 seasons out of the Premiership. Let's have a sense of perspective, eh..? We can do a lot better. That's why this club doesn't have crowds of 4,000. It's one of those bigger clubs. It's about time we believed it.

Back with Simple Minds - Once Upon A Time [Album]. I'd quite forgotten how many Simple Minds album I had. I think it was my reaction to everyone buying Talking Heads albums. I bought one, then decided to come back to British shores.

Pardew is the best available manager for Saints. Who would you suggest, and what happens when your suggestion gets caught during a sticky part of the season..?

Pardew is being very honest again on Kris Temple's Radio Solent interview, but honesty isn't enough. Results are what are needed. One point isn't enough, and he's knows it.

Merrington sounds really p!ssed off.

Our problem is that invariably we probably have the best pitch in the entire Football league and the Premiership. Our pitch is head and shoulders above most pitches in this league. But that shouldn't be an excuse. We have to be better.

We were ordinary.

That's it peeps. Off to Post Match.
