Why does everything come at once. Tonight I have a choice of watching Saints on an internet stream (or possibly at local bar), going skiing in the moonlight from 3500m up at Cervinia or a dinner at a 4 star restaurant at Courmayeur. As it's a bit cloudy the 4 star dinner has it and at least I'll avoid the stress of watching a televised Saints. Pleaaase Saints, do us proud..

I came to The Lounge and saw we were still only on page 756, which I thought had been getting a bit boring, but I've had another chuckle today! Paying cash, hah!

Right. Showing my age as I vaguely remember: had some postage stamps from there as well.

sweden changed in the 70's if I recall - can't be bothered to google..

Deppo, you were out of order there this time, and I think you know it.

Just been watching this and shouting at the screen: MOVE! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12735023 The bit after 1 minute there are people down the hill on the LHS watching as if it's just a high tide and making no attempt to make sure they're as high as possible. I can't make out their behaviour; it's frightening.

They'd like to, and indirectly yes through their control of finances.

Incidentally, how can a professional player have "no left foot at all"? I'm low level amateur women's football and I'd be ashamed if I couldn't use both feet to at least a reasonable standard even if I have a preferred one for longer passes. In training I consciously try and use my weaker foot.

Actually, I thought that was what he was doing! I can't comment as I've hardly seen him play, but how long ago was it that he was playing for Eastleigh? I don't think he's had years of coaching in some academy set up nor was he full time, so I'm sure there's room for improvement, particularly with more uninterrupted playing-time under his belt. He seems to have the basic requirement of some pace, intelligence and reasonable attitude. The £1200 a week quoted is a lot more than he'd get in an office job, as a mechanic or even as a young graduate trainee so let's hope he doesn't moan but sets about improving himself so that he can earn more.

I've got a ZX80 somewhere which I got from a relly who worked at the assembly plant. Found I couldn't do much with it so gave up. Not just memory Jonny, I started with a 2.8k modem then jumped to 14.4k... so I still have a bit of respect for bandwidth...

Rallyboy - well put, particularly this summary: This was also interesting: any flesh for the bones?

If you like beer? So do I. That's why I don't drink it in the ground.

Load of b*****s I'm afraid. Every weekend with an Old Firm derby the domestic violence statistics in Glasgow go up. Maybe due to the drink, maybe being wound up and letting it spill over out of the ground. If your theory worked, fine, but unfortunately it doesn't. What is it about some people and drink; I suppose it reduces their inhibitions and you see their nasty sides?

I agree, plus a few oldies whose bladders aren't as long lasting as they used to be. I'm far more forgiving of the latter. Mind you, it sounds like Turkish is a bit of a consumer himself. I don't think I've ever left early in 45 years of supporting when it was up to me, know how much my bladder holds (mind you, the queues at The Dell!!) and have only been late arriving through traffic problems or queues.

Let's hope so! I'm sure we've got a turbo mode somewhere, but it's a bit hard on the engine... From the reports here it sounds like the Kingsland has taken over the role of the Upper West Stand. I remember reading a report in The Guardian many years ago after we'd beaten Stoke, I think, 5-0 under the floodlights and the reporter wrote about some old moaners' comments as they left the ground.

Just had a look at their table - snortle. [A cross between a snort and a chortle with a hint of snig ger]

so is Arsenal's passing.. More on Saints please...

It's was a car, a cheap one! Not a flaming penis extension.;-)

Hmm, I'm wondering about the proportions.... On the table here there's a nice prosecco del valdobbiadene so I'll leave the Bison Vodka alone...

You should have asked 4 years ago! I was getting rid of a perfectly good Fiesta with a little bit of rust, I was worried about the local salted mountain roads. To re-register it in Italy would have cost more than the car was worth, so I took it back to the UK and sold it there. For £100.

Actually Alpine makes me laugh, which is pretty good going for a guy who seems to have no sense of humour. I try not to be gratuitously offensive on here, and have only ever received one infraction, which was for insulting one of the right-wing trolls IIRC, and still feel it was justified. But I will stand up for myself if I'm in the mood, have time, can be arsed, etc, so end up commenting and it certainly isn't bashing: I keep my comments to a minimum. Alps does like give it out, remember. His last criticism of me was that I was attention seeking, which coming from someone with nearly 10 times as many posts was quite amusing. Anyway, I bet the Alps where I live are higher than his, so naaahh!

You seem remarkably, and worryingly, well-informed there scotty! Apparently there is a stretch of the local statale (crap A road) where the girls aren't all they seem. It took me quite a few seconds for me to work out how they kept their clientele happy, but then I'm a well-brought up young [cough] thing. Coming back from mid-week evening away matches I've seen a few other young ladies hanging around the autogrills, but given the high cost of the local motorway tolls they must be really high-class! If you don't want to be plain ol' Dune how about Barchan or Erg?

Weelll, been out for drinkies after final check we'd won and not long back..a biiiit relaxed.. No game tomorrow due to snow on the pitch so gym training instead. This morning superb off-piste with light fluffy snow, earned a little bit this PM, and Saints won. Not bad in this part of the Alps!:-)

Brilliant! Just digesting my evening meal and found time to pass through. Alpine - the starter of many threads, well known by many as a bit of a [fill in own response] and 15k+ posts making that accusation about me: 1700 something posts, rarely start them, and definitely not an attention seeker. But I do fight my own corner when I need to. Unfortunately I can't express my true opinion as I'd get an infringement.

I didn't bother reading the post-match thread nor this one. It's one thing have a depressing result and completely another reading the unoriginal and completely predictable wallowing in misery. Once again we get a thread with a negative leading question as the title from an unsurprising source. I may come back later and read a bit but fortunately have better things to do.
