Sh1t stirrer!!!!

I haven`t seen this. Is it a Television X version of the David Dickinson one??

After it was bombed by the Japanese presumably??

Last night was the second time I have seen Milton Jones. I saw him about 12-18 months ago at the same venue. Extremely funny both times and virtually no repeat material. Really highly recommended.

I must admit I quite fancy seeing Tim Vine. I saw Stewart Francis a few weeks ago. Apart from the very occaissional swearword he was very funny. Almost a Canadian Milton Jones!

He was very good dealing with a good natured heckler last night. " Don`t worry folks, I`ve got this!"

So have Stuart Grey, Steve Wigley, Paul Ince and numerous other "Prem" failures, plus Grants experience was with Chelsea. You would have to be really bad to fail with them. This will be a real test for his managerial skills!

I was very pleased to get the Idle Race CD and also a retrospective of Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. Before they went all "Pop" with "Kites" etc they were a really good R & B type band. I saw them a couple of times at The "old" Concorde Club at The Bassett. Their first album "Without Reservations" (1969) was excellent. This double cd (Part of My Past)includes both the stereo and mono mixes of that album plus loads of other stuff. Those were the days!!

Saw Milton Jones at The Ashcroft Arts Centre last night. Very, very funny. No smutty stuff and not one swear word. It can be done!! http://www.miltonjones.com/

1911 Photos of Niagara Falls ... Amazing pictures !!! Almost 100 years old. A woman's mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family that she and her neighbours woke up in the night feeling something was wrong. It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise. They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the falls. Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls ???

Maybe he isn`t home from the Q & A. He must have been there putting his important question to MLT. Wasn`t he???

I recently managed to buy "Birthday Party" by "Idle Race" - Jeff Lynnes first band. I had it on vinyl back in the early 70`s and it`s brilliant!

Totally agree. This was a quality production and well worth at least one more series.

As opposed to Nigel Pearson I suppose.

I am very pleased to know that as a middle class person of mature years, who has been supporting Saints for over 50 years (ST holder for 35 years) and who doesn`t actually sing much, is not a football person.

Yeah, I always thought that The Tweets were a quality band!!

There`s your answer 19C. I would, however, add the word "deliberately" before "provocative".

Hmmm.. A touch of "Pot" and "Kettle" I think.

Can`t wait to see him in the GP`s next year.

Along with Geoff Mudge and Norman Strachan!!

If Tommy Cooper were alive today.... I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, 'That's Aboriginal.' ----------------------- This lorry full of tortoises collided with a van full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster. ------------------------ I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said 'Tenpin?' I said, 'No, permanent.' ----------------------- I went in to a pet shop. I said, 'Can I buy a goldfish?' The guy said, 'Do you want an aquarium?' I said, 'I don't care what star sign it is.' ---------------------------- I bought some Armageddon cheese today, and it said on the packet. 'Best before End' --------------------------- I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said 'Analogue.' I said 'No, just a watch.' ------------------------------ I went into a shop and I said, 'Can someone sell me a kettle.' The bloke said 'Kenwood' I said, 'Where is he then?' -------------------------- I went to the doctor. I said to him 'I'm frightened of lapels.' He said, 'You've got cholera.' --------------------------- I met the bloke who invented crosswords today. I can't remember his name, its P something T something R. ---------------------------- I was reading this book today, The History of Glue. I couldn't put it down. ---------------------------- I phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just went on and on. --------------------------- The recruitment consultant asked me 'What do you think of voluntary work? I said 'I wouldn't do it if you paid me.' -------------------------- I was in the jungle and there was this monkey with a tin opener. I said, 'You don't need a tin opener to peel a banana.' He said, 'No, this is for the custard.' ---------------------- This policeman came up to me with a pencil and a piece of very thin paper. He said, 'I want you to trace someone for me..' -------------------------- I told my mum that I'd opened a theatre. She said, 'Are you having me on?' I said, 'Well I'll give you an audition, but I'm not promising you anything.' ---------------------------- I phoned the local builders today, I said to them 'Can I have a skip outside my house?' He said, 'I'm not stopping you!' -------------------------------- This cowboy walks in to a German car showroom and he says 'Audi!' -------------------------- I fancied a game of darts with my mate. He said, 'Nearest the bull goes first' He went 'Baah' and I went 'Moo' He said 'You're closest' ---------------------- I visited the offices of the RSPCA today. It's tiny: you couldn't swing a cat in there. ------------------------- I bought a train ticket to France and the ticket seller said 'Eurostar' I said 'Well I've been on telly but I'm no Dean Martin. --------------------------- I phoned the local gym and I asked if they could teach me how to do the splits. He said, 'How flexible are you?' I said, 'I can't make Tuesdays or Thursdays.' -------------------------------- I went to the local video shop and I said, 'Can I borrow Batman Forever?' He said, 'No, you'll have to bring it back tomorrow' -------------------------------- A waiter asks a man, 'May I take your order, sir?' 'Yes,' the man replies. 'I'm just wondering, exactly how do you prepare your chickens?' 'Nothing special, sir. We just tell them straight out that they're going to die.'

I don`t doubt that that a few people may have made less than positive remarks regarding "throwingate" but I do doubt that any of them have taken it to the obsessive, "dog with a bone" lengths that you have. Personally, I think that on reflection MLT was unwise to describe the incident in his book. Has that tarnished his image or taken the shine from my many joyous memories of watching probably the most likable, loyal and skillfull players ever to play for Saints? NO, not in the slightest! It would take much more than a small error of judgement to do that. You have made your point on every occaision possible. You might be the voice of "Truth, Justice and the American Way" but it really is time that you let this rest and move on to your next controversy. I`m sure that you are building one up.

As I have only ever heard these anti MLT sentiments from you on this forum, I think that it is a valid question as to who the "some of us" are. You are not the only one that asks valid questions and demands answers. Who else supports your stance? Or are you the only person that is right?
