Ponty

I thought we'd go down last year and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought we'd stay up in our relegation year and I was unpleasantly shocked. This year I'm convinced we're for the drop. I can't see how we're going to get the form we'll need to pull off another escape.

Alps. Thanks for the apology, it's much appreciated. Obviously we're not all going to get along on here, it wouldn't be much of a discussion forum if we all agreed, but I don't actually go out of my way to cause offence. I have no problem with your appraisal of the situation being wholly different to mine as my missus often reminds me that I'm not always right Cheers Ponty

Bloody hell Alps. I've lost count of the times I've defended your right to be the most negative bloke on the forum. Nice bit of backstabbing there. I might have a bit of a think about things here then.

Nice one. Condoning physical violence? Hardly. I'm saying that if they get arrested for assault I hope it was worth it. Of course they should have walked away but not being able to turn the other cheek is a lesser 'crime' than starting to hurl abuse at someone in the first place IMO. I don't see why their jobs should mean they can't defend themselves. As for your last sentence, I have no idea what you're on about. Seems a bit personal to me but hey-ho, you're entitled to your opinion.

Shouting abuse from the terraces is one thing. Abusing the players face to face is disgusting. No one should abuse anyone, verbally or otherwise, like these animals. I wish they'd given him something worth getting arrested over tbh. They might be SFC players but first and foremost they're people, and like anyone they are entitled not to get abuse hurled at them to the point they need to retaliate or are reduced to tears. Anyone who thinks it's ok to get in someone else's face and act like that should be f***ing ashamed of themselves.

Fans eh?

Very constructive Jill. You got rid of that POS MR2 yet?

Talking? Me neither.

One's glass mate.

I bet the PM couldn't give a f***.

Various Metallica odds 'n sods. Warming up for the Sheffield Arena gig at the end of the month.

Rumbled.

They don't make the loopholes, they only exploit them.

There must be a pattern one available somewhere mate. I had a VTS a few years ago and during it's time with me it went for a top-end rebuild. They definitely fitted cork gaskets because I retorqued all the bolts after a few hundred miles myself. I'm guessing you've tried the Saxo forums but it seems weird that no one has heard of one. Still, assuming instant-gasket is the way you have to go, I'd suggest a proper chemical clean of the mating faces, using acetone/ethanol before applying the sealant. Use plenty but keep it to the outside, as you did before. Then keep your fingers crossed as that Hermatite stuff is w*nk.

Top of page matey?

Well, we won't lose. We hardly needed to keep up the momentum of the last 3 games.

Oh, and renamed.

Merged and stickied TDD.

Brazil is only the perineum of the world.

Let's hope it's off. It'd be nice to go a weekend unbeaten.

For a start; Instant gasket? Is that the recommended method? I would've thought the standard cork gasket from Citroen would only be a couple of quid and would do the job much better. Get one, scrape that gack off and fit the proper thing. The joint between the cam cover and the cylinder head won't be good enough for instant gasket to work.

Nothing made in New Zealand then? We do have 2nd rate lamb and Kiwi fruits don't you know.

Mental in Oxfordshire this morning. I was like Scott of the Antarctic in the blizzards.

Just to nip this one in the bud SB was never a full member.

Not tea, I can't stand tea.
