Far too many to list but one of the earliest "special" memories was standing on a crisp tin that my dad borrowed from the snack bar so that I could see over the wall at the Milton Road end. My dad had given Terry Paine my autograph book and he came out just before the game to find us and give the book back. We were playing Barnsley and Terry had got the autographs of both teams and manager. Last memory, of course MLT`s goal against Arsenal. I actually cried at that as it was the perfect end to the "Grand Old Lady" and with it (almost )the end of Le Tiss. SMS will never match The Dell for memories.

Daily Mail reports this morning that a £1.5M fee agreed with Stoke.:mad:

3.21pm! Not much more time to wait!!

Mind you, there are some sportspeople who seem to thrive when they get a negative reaction from a crowd. How many time during matches have the crowd given a particular opposition player a lot of stick only for them to score a goal later in the game. Nicki Pedersen, the Danish Speedway rider, who was something of a pantomime villain at Cardiff this year, is a sportsman who seems to ride better if the crowd are against him!

It`s NOT a lookalike!

One good one everyday @7.30am. Trouble is I don`t get up `til 8.00am.

Really??

I was surprised that this thread was started by MB but now it all makes perfect sense!

.....and Wednesday.....

Three years ago a very good friend of mine collapsed and died in front of me. He was quite healthy and it came out of the blue. I was quite traumatised for some weeks afterwards. When I went to his funeral it was definitely Compassionate Leave. I think that each case should be judged on its merits and not whether you are related.

I quite understand your sentiments. So many traits of the human race can be viewed as "good" or "bad" depending on your viewpoint.

I would agree with most of this, but surely there is no "Meaning of Life" as such. We just exist. We just are in the same way as all living organisms are. Unless you get religion involved the only driving force within us is just to pro-create and prolong the life of our species. Is there a "Meaning of Life" for a zebra or chimp for example or do they just eat, drink and stay alive? The BIG advantage that we have over virtually all other species is that we have advanced far enough that we are able to control and direct ourselves to make the decisions that enable us to "Do something" with our allotted life-span, but I think that that is a different thing to "The Meaning of Life". Interesting discussion though. Certainly a bit more thought provoking than the "What Did You Have for Lunch" thread - although I did contribute to that one as well!;)

Most bosses that I have worked for allow funerals as Compassionate Leave (providing that you don`t take the **** and go to one every week!) and most of the time don`t even ask who the funeral is for.

Dunno about Africa. More likely caught it in Fratton or Copnor or somewhere like that. Any way, serves him right for not having Norton or Macafee. (Other Anti-Virus software is available)

Some years ago, I think it was the Youth team used to come onto the pitch to Aarron Copelands "Fanfare for the Common Man" played by Emerson Lake and Palmer. Seemed to work quite well.

Tuna and Red Onion sandwich with heavily seeded bread (my desk now looks like the bottom of a budgies cage) followed by a banana and 2 clementines.

Heaven Knows I`m Miserable Now - The Smiths??

Sorry, but the title of the thread was there when it was sent to me.

Bloody young whippersnappers!!!

One has a reputation to up hold!

HP WAS a foreigner. Unless you happen to be Belgian.

I apologise profusely! Having never seen it before I thought that it would be of interest to TMS subscribers. I promise to be more alert in future.

Mel Smith!??
