It was him. He used to direct traffic at the bottom of Bullar Road. Rumour was that he had recieved head injuries at some point and was just used for traffic duties and thing like keeping order at the Dell. Real big character.

Quite liked helpmerondha myself .

Two or three years ago Craig Charles was living in Bursledon close to the Jolley Sailor. We saw him in The Vine and had a chat with him. I asked about Red Dwarf and he said that they were going to Australia to make a film of RD. Didn`t come off I guess.

It was Tiny!

Apparently he was interviewed on SSN about this. Anyone have a link?? Should be good for a laff!

Thought Jason Crump was good value for his win in Latvia last night. Superb move in the final to come from the back.

And a good advert for the sport to any new-comers.

More often than not I have to react almost immediately because sub-contractors have found a problem and if it is not solved they will not earn money and tight programmes will be affected. We all make mistakes in our lives/job (except you obviously) and it`s how we react and rectify them that is important. I am not negative as far as JP is concerned. I am quite confident in his ability to make Saints competitive and am looking forward to an exciting season, it`s that I am concerned as to whether he is able to, or has the playing staff to change things when the passing game is not working. We did not get going yesterday and a bit of desperation and long-ball crept in. Thats all. I hope that the spelling is a bit better this time (sorry that you were offended) and , yes, multi - million. Why the quotation marks?

It was actually in the paper itself.

Unfortunately I work in an industry were I have no direct employees under me- all sub-contract. I manage multi-million pound contracts with a work-force that is only interested in themselves, but it`s that gets the credit/takes the blame at the end. I have to make sure that the job is a success by any means available. If it does not work one way I have to find a viable way of doing it (Plan B). JP has to do the same. If the passing game does not work then has to change things during games to get 3 points. ATM I don` think that he can.

I sit in the Kingsland and IMHO he was like a headless chicken. He gave the ball away too many times and tried to run through players.

I am not a Football manager. I am a manager in another industry. If I plan to do something and it doesn`t work then I have to find an alternative way to achieve success. All I am saying is that our game plan is to out pass our opponents. If this doesn`t work then there has to be a different effective approach. ATM if the passing game is ineffective for whatever reason (Kids too tired, Blackpool brilliant -I don`t know) then there has to be an ability to change the style and emphesis. What that change of style is is down to JP not me. I`m not sure why this is difficult to understand.

I must admit that I was surprised that he played no part today. He was MoM on Tuesday.

Surely this is just semantics. Yes, Plan B probaly is a buzz word but it doesn`t alter the fact that if the passing game (Total Football?) that we have played successfully in both pre-season and in league games doesn`t come off, as it didn`t today, there does not appear to be an effective alternative other than the long ball that we reverted to out of desperation at times today.

Oh and I forgot Kelly Brook (Perfect body) Tanya Streeter (World Champion Free Diver - Perfect Body) Sharron Davies (No chicken but still quite hot!)

Totally disagree. He was like a headless chicken most of the time and continuosly gave the ball away. Waste of space,

Sorry Pancake. Started another thread for this. Glad to see that you haven`t gone for stereo-type though!!:roll::roll:

O.K. I`ll start. Les Mis - Everything about it brilliant. Music, staging, atmosphere. Never ever get fed up with it. Ragtime - Much under-rated. Deserves to be performed more often. Showboat -Nearly 90 years old. Absolute quality. Miss Saigon - Very moving. Billy Elliott - Not twee, Staggering performance from young kids. Lord of the Rings - Saw this just before it closed. Unbelievable staging. The modern musical is a much under-rated and much maligned medium, mostly by those who haven`t seen them.

Mylene Klass (See "I`m a Celebrity) Kara Tointon (Because) Naoko Mori (Sultry)

TBH the phrase "No Plan B" is haunting me ATM. Plan A is brilliant when it works.

Were you saying this 24 hours ago?

I think that this came from the Echo website. Some **** kept posting comments to every Saints related story which consisted of "Lowe out and take those Dutch Donkeys with you". WUM, Skate, mentalist or combination of the 3 I think.

As a bit of business I suppose Dean Richards has to figure somewhere. Signed on a free, turned some magnificent performances and sold for £10M(?)
