Just listened to a very good play on Radio 4 called "The Tony Kay Scandal" which was about the betting scandal that came to light in the 60`s. Well worth a listen when it is available on i-player.

Abducted by aliens?

TBH the sooner that the "Big" clubs **** off the better. Their only interest is the money that they can earn from European games. They play weakened teams in the LC and are starting to do it in the FAC. As far as they are concerned, the PL is just the thing that they have to play in to qualify for the CL. It makes me laugh when the Chelseas and Arsenals complain that they are playing too many games so they propose a smaller PL (as has happened before) to the detriment of other teams. They are playing too many games because the European Cup went from a knock-out competition to the Champions League, bringing in the top four from each league rather than just the Champions. Sadly these money grabbing bastards are killing the game. I have absolutely no interest in watching the CL or generally PL games on Sky. Give me Saints at SMS anyday.

The best engine A notable gynaecologist once said, "The best engine in the world is the vagina. It can be started with one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes its own oil every four weeks. It is only a pity that the management system is so ****ing temperamental."

Police arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22-year-old white male, in a pumpkin patch, at 11:38 p.m. on Friday night. On Monday, at the Gwinnett County (GA) courthouse, Lawrence was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency, and public intoxication. The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch on his way home from a heavy drinking session when he decided to stop. 'You know how a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around for miles or at least I thought there wasn't anyone around,' he stated in a telephone interview. Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged need. 'Guess I was really into it, you know?' he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an approaching police car and was unaware of his audience until Officer Brenda Taylor approached him. 'It was an unusual situation, that's for sure,' said Officer Taylor. 'I walked up to Lawrence and he's just banging away at this pumpkin.' Officer Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence . 'I said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin? ' 'He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he looked me straight in the face and said... "A pumpkin? **** .... is it midnight already?"' This was in the Washington Post...the title of the article was 'Best Come Back Line Ever.'

Going to The Newport is like stepping back in time. Like something from an old Ealing movie. Lovely.

Have you ever thought about going into the Diplomatic Corps or working for Relate??

I am working in Braishfield ATM and one of the best albums ever "Liege and Lief" by Fairport Convention was recorded just along the road at Farley Chamberlayne in the late 60`s. I also got inolved with a kids serial called "The Witches and the Grinnygog" a lot of which was recorded around Southampton and Winchester.

Good for you! One of my favourite post Gabriel Genesis albums was "Duke". It wasn`t well reviewed but was/is rather good.

"Looking for a New England", a very good CD given away in the current issue of FRoots magazine. http://www.frootsmag.com/content/freecd/anewengland/

Both this and Kate Rusby are excellent choices.

Quite right. It is tosh, but bloody enjoyable tosh!!

I remember a TV series called (I think) "Target" starring Patrick Mower which was set in and around Southampton. I vaguely remember a car chase around The Bargate. Anyone remember this or is it just me!!

Have you ever thought about joining a Debating Society??

I don`t think that it is particularly acceptable. I was referring to a couple of "controvertial" posters on here who used that term whilst dismissing his abilities.

Wow! You must be a real bundle of laughs to chat with if you think that conjecture is ridiculous and serves no purpose whatsoever! I have never met anyone who only talks factually.:confused:

Harry tapes are handed over in football probe City of London Police have won a court order against the News of the World forcing them to hand over taped interviews and documents relating to a football corruption investigation. The Sunday newspaper had refused when asked by the economic crime department, whose marathon football probe dates back to the start of the Premier League bung inquiry in January 2006. But the court order last week gave them no option but to co-operate. Tapes: Spurs boss Harry Redknapp The haul includes interviews with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie and Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric, all of whom have been on bail on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting for nearly two years. Storrie has been told by the HM Revenue and Customs, who are the lead authority in the investigation, he will be charged. Storrie says it concerns unpaid tax for Amdy Faye’s signing-on fee he received on joining Portsmouth from Auxerre for £1.5million in 2003. Storrie, on honeymoon when the deal was negotiated, will ‘defend the allegations in the strongest possible terms’. Redknapp’s part allegedly relates to an off-shore Monaco account into which £100,000 was paid for his percentage entitlement from the £5m sale of Peter Crouch from Portsmouth to Aston Villa in 2005. Redknapp said: 'This is about a discrepancy of about £10,000 in income tax when I’ve paid £10m in tax over the past 10 years. This is what it’s come down to and I’m sick of it.’ Former Pompey chairman Mandaric has added to the confusion by claiming cash in the Redknapp offshore account was paid by him for a proposed US business Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-1224807/CHARLES-SALE-A-dozen-Premier-League-clubs-proud-poppies.html#ixzz0VmeBpTKQ

You`ll learn!! This is TSW!!

According to the press he said that she resembled "someone looking at themselves in the back of a spoon" and followed it with "sexual innuendo".

I understand what you say here, but of course that works both ways. It is easy to be selective in what we read/quote and make it fit any agenda, assuming that we have one. My reason for starting this thread was not to dig up the past, but much in the same way as the "What If..." books work, discuss what might have been if the decision to keep or not to keep NP had been different. Sadly, as usual, it all ends up as a pro/anti Lowe argument.
