Boo-Hoo!! What a knob!

city (for emerald!)

It`s not General Custer and the 7th Cavalry coming to the rescue is it??

Yes, but it did shut them up each time though.

I sit in the Kingsland on the halfway line and I was amazed at how many chants actually started in the Chapel end !

Don`t know too much about either of my grandfathers but my dad served in the RN during WWII as an ASDIC (u-boat hunter) operator on HMS Forester on the Artic convoys and on D-Day.

I thought that he was superb today. I am so proud of the team. For 75 mins you couldn`t tell which was the Prem team. Yes we lost, but the score was very flattering and the "Bestest Fans in the World ™" were very disappointing today - at least until they were 2 or 3 up. I would STILL "Rather be a Scummer Than a Skate"

Yeah, the traitor!! He doesn`t deserve anything for the 12 years that he served as manager. After all, he only gave us the FA Cup, appearances in the Charity Shield, and League Cup Final. Second place place in Division One, signed top, top players (including European Footballer of the Year), got us playing regularly in Europe and generally established us as a force in the top division. You`re right. The man deserves nothing.

Nelson

Jason Lee has a head like a pineapple.

Iain Dowie has a head like a pork scratching.

Chris Marsden has a head like a boiled sweet.

Strangely they didn`t seem to have any "Sport" at all. There are 3 big games in our area tonight. Nothing mentioned.:confused:

I do know a good vet.

Opera Ghost??

I absolutely love this film! Definitely in my top 3.

I can lend you a hammer and some nails.

Nelson certainly had his flaws both as a man and as a Navy man. He was vain, treated his wife, Fanny, very badly and loved the ecoutrements of rank. He was also very sickly in later life. Not only did he suffer quite badly from sea-sickness but at the time of Trafalgar was virtually blind and, of course, short of an arm. He also had many other ailments. I admire him thought for his single-mindedness and determination to do his duty. He was loved and respected by both ordinary seamen and his fellow officers (His "Band of Brothers"). It is probably this mixture of faults and greatness that appeals to me. In this day and age, when people won`t go to work because of "a headache" the fact that he still, with all of the physical ailments that he had, went and did his duty, gaining a victory at Trafalgar which not only put paid to any invasion plans that Napoleon had, but also gave the Royal Navy supremacy of the seas for over 100 years, is in my mind heroic.

Excellent series. I particularly enjoyed the "Nelson" episode. He is my personal hero.
