**** me, it's unreadable with those one line paragraphs and staccato style. It must be designed that way for people who trace the words with their finger when they are reading. PS: Danbert, can we have an executive summary please...

I presume "Velikalbanska provokacija u Humskoj" mean Flying albanian provocation at the Humskoj stadium.. Some people are easily provoked though.

It could be in good company: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/11/gibraltar-barbary-macaques-deported-scottish-safari-park-blair-drummond Didn't Pompey go on a pre-season tour there the other year? The plot thickens...

I've been to pretty well all the resorts mentioned bar Samoens, along with various Italian, Swiss, Austrian and Whistler a couple of times, but that was when I was employed and had money. I'll be going back to the Aosta Valley again this year but no idea where I'll be staying. I'll probably drive over and stay in a combination of friends, hotels, flats, whatever, and that way get to ski various places: Courmayeur, Cervinia, Pila, Crevacol, Monte Rosa, La Thuile. I did a translation job for someone over there and am being paid with one of the resorts' lift pass! Will also have a day ticket to the new Monte Bianco cable car. I keep myself reasonably fit for my age but thanks for reminding me I need to do some more specific strengthening, core and flexibility exercises. Incidentally, if anyone needs Italian lessons, let me know as I need some extra income: the summer school money has been spent and skiing is an expensive extra!

Over to you then.

OK guys, an opportunity to comment on a wider stage; over to you lot... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/11/portsmouth-mansfield-upbeat-debts

If what FF says above is true, that should keep the pot bubbling..

What's itb meant to be, by the way? Is it student accommodation, as if it is that explains a lot!

Indeed. Typical play apparently according to the BBC website: "Martin Skrtel, more concerned with grappling with his man, inadvertently headed the ball against Dejan Lovren"

Is that wise, for all sorts of reasons? They'll realise that there is an ursine intelligence at work, with a disdain for poor writing style. The irony will explode their brains!

How's the heart, WG?

"Dont cry for me Pochetino"... It's going to be a difficult one to pitch.. Hang on, no, I've just sung it a 5th higher. But I do like it!

Rallyboy, you tease.. Will there be laughter from us involved?

It was mentioned down the pub last home game, and even the non-singers thought it a good one..

A wry one.

Trousers is to Twitter as DubaiPhil is to golf.:-)

Bit late now, but you could say 'Knock, knock' and see what happens!

After tonight I guess we may sell a few more tickets and fill in a few gaps in the crowd?

DP?

A Spitfire with invasion stripes came over my garden yesterday. He was looow: if I didn't know better I'd have said he was under 500'! :-)

12-12 so far at 'pool..

:-) That is very close!

I'm being lazy, but for the benefit of all of us, what are the odds EW?

Ya bast*rd. I went looking for it so I could post it on Facebook. I'll give you credit, don't worry.

That means we've got enough left over to expand the ground! :-)
