What does the bit in bold actually mean? Getting hold of any old patch of land they can call their own, given that they rent at the moment?

I live abroad too and get to the games I can, although didn't bother with the early season cup game: finances could be better. But a couple of seasons ago at Christmas I was in a 30k crowd against Exeter. Plastics coming out for _Exeter_, I think not. Finances, opportunity, christmas presents, free time all helped the crowd and made a much better atmosphere. It also allows us more money to spend on players: you do wonder how some clubs manage..

Er.. i watched Saints Player highlights yesterday...

333333 PS thanks saint clarke, back to listening on channel 16 as that's my last post today

PS Saint_clark - can you get SteveG to send me bank details so I can renew my membership - I've only got 1 post to say "YES!" today. Not sure he's getting my emails. Ta

If it's any consolation we get them in Italy as well. The phone callers I just say I'm not interested thank you and put the phone down, the religious callers I lose all my Italian and speak in English (this applies in the street as well) and the vacuum cleaner salespeople... They exist and have called a number of times. Once a trainee called and I got rid of him in my usual polite and efficient way. A bit later another call - the same guy looking very sheepish with obviously his sales manager and a woman who was trying to look into my house to see what sort of floor covering I had. I smiled sympathetically at the first guy and then started on the bosses in their sharp suits. "Didn't your colleague say he had visited me?"....I quite enjoyed myself. They're extortionately priced machines as well.

Phil, you're being accused of not have Corp on ignore! It couldn't possibly have been that you were quoted twice in full for your post could it Corp? You can see quoted content from ignored posters, but I wouldn't expect to to be bright enough to notice. Has nobody ever told you that when you're in a hole it's best to stop digging. But thanks for the entertainment anyway.

I bloody well hope not!

ooh, Eric, you jut got a mention from DM..

Whew!

OK, but here we're only an hour difference. Coooiiii; Australia...!

Sounds good! A year before dad took me for the first time, and a subsequent lifetime of pain and pleasure. Don't remember Wimshurst or Knapp but remember all the others..

If any of you remember Nick Hornby's book Fever Pitch - he describes Maidenhead United against Aveley and 6 minutes of extra time, and I was there!! Knew NH vaguely, as well.

IT works!

If that works Badger I'll give you a big kiss! I've brought forward a private lesson to listen to the radio but visuals are less stressful than listening to DM and co.

No, they weren't being nasty: you'd have to read the pompey Takeover thread to appreciate it... Well, it made me laugh as I got the reference.

I'm not sure how I can explain to my Italian students the different nuances of the use of cock as against pr!ck. The literal Italian version is cazzo. All I can say is that I hope I don't have to use any of them whilst listening to the game...

Blow... see if this works: http://pila.it/homepage.asp?l=e&s=i

Snow down to about 1200m and lower yesterday although it was so sunny today the lower stuff will have melted. This is my local hill... javascript:ApreWebcamPanorama('panorama.jpg','o_pag');void(0);

You must be a pub quiz or trivial pursuits expert to rival MLG!;-)

I really can't help laughing at you Alpine, although I can understand why other people get p****d off with you: you pounce on the negative like a primary school bully pounces on the nice kid. It wasn't brilliant, we're missing our best player who can unlock defences, we looked tired, had a man sent off, Reading had done their homework and we didn't play well but still got a point away. What the F do you expect every week? I hope you noticed the result in Manchester, and does that tell you anything?

Next team to play them will win as Reading will be absolutely knackered..
