If you need, or want, to give her an extra treat get up to Brum early and drag her round the Jewellery Quarter: a damn sight better value than a trip to the High St Jewellers.

Ask your wife or girlfriend to name saints players.....
John Boy Saint replied to modern matron's topic in The Saints
Blimey I have one just like that at home, I would have got suspicious if you said she grew up in a house of Chelsea!! -
I is going! And a +1

Or the Kiddie pile up in the Chapel - Kingsland corner at the Brizzle game.

He had many detractors who couldn't see what he contributed to the team Strange, for what many considered to be a pile of steaming whatsit, he was the fittest and fastest player in the squad at the time (WGS comment) plus he was always picked by the manager. Willo had damn big boots to fill, but he certainly pulled it off. (nice he is still with us).

Well that's where you are misinformed my friend: of course the moon is made of cheese!!!! They told you there is limited gravity on the moon that's why they had to wear big boots, pure myth. The big boots were to stop them sinking and they bounced when they walked because the surface of the Moon is rubbery like Edam! Back to the subject at hand we will believe it when it happens. Any deal to shed Puncheon seems to have a path that is potholed like Swiss Cheese!

Just worked out how much my SP30's cost on Insurance
John Boy Saint replied to dune's topic in The Lounge
My Sp30 knocked my £402 Aviva renewal up to £463. My heart sank last night when I gunned it to pass and clear a bit of messy traffic on the A12, in my rear view mirror a plain clothes Police car's blue lights ran their cycle I slowed expecting the worse, and the very nice Police lady told me to slow down and drove on............. Phew! I have to say driving 40k a year the Police without any doubt have upped their game This past 12 months, anyway driving slower does save a few quid re the gap between fill ups. -

We will be lucky to see this completed in our life times, Flora and Fauna will pull on its hard hat and hi-vis and throw up hurdles all along it's diverse route...................... Not forgetting the tree people!

My Dad use to sell paint to the trade, in industrial volumes, the amount of times he would have specifiers on the phone maligning his paints opacity only after a trip to the lab for the report to come back and say the paint on the wall had been diluted with water by the contractor to the point of it being a surprise that it was on the wall at all.

iPad says Noooooo!!

Anyone on here who uses an iPad and Hotmail finding that they can't get into their inbox?

Tried that, even with me being 47 added another £40. Probably if I had put in 55 it probably would have dropped 50%!!

I know this will get punted to another channel at some stage, but just thought that I would share this with you. My youngest Daughter has a little job and also needs to sort out a work placement where the best opportunities are out of Town. So being 16 and her having an interest in Motorcycles we thought a Scooter would be a good start. She got on with her CBT, so a serious look at what was available to buy was made. Obviously being responsible insurance was factored in, got a quote on a £500 scooter £580!!! I know car insurance for youngsters is eye watering prices but had no idea that 50cc Scooters also incurred the same mental treatment. We saw a nice little deal on a brand new Peugeot, put this in and the quote was similar. Then decided to have a look at that furry animal website, put in the book price of £1100, for fully comp the premiums ranged from £430 right up to £1295!! By the time you added on the extras that were standard with a few more competitive deals, the total had bumbled up to £1500!! ........................... Hang on a 17 year old can get fully comp on an old Fiesta for that!! I know this subject crops up all the time, but what chance do some kids have to get mobile and give themselves a better chance in life without getting rooked.

May cost a few quid more, but the one thing with Michelins is, so long as you don't drive like a complete plonker, they will last a damn sight longer than a lot of other tyres. I have a Honda Accord Tourer, all the toys you could wish for, when I first went to get tyres the chap at Micheldever went " oooh riiiight! Best check we have any of that size in stock only 5 cars use this size of tyre!". Had some Michelins at a price that lasted 28,000 next time got Bridgestone Potenza's lasted 19,000 miles, this is for fronts, rears good for well over 40,000.

Same applies to Paints, Glues, Fillers, Grouts, Screws, Rawlplugs etc. I put up some Aquaboard in the bathroom as the render on the solid walls looked like it might not poke up with any seepage through the tiles. I started off with plasplugs, what a pile of shiny s***. Ended up shelling out a little more on Fischer plugs wow what a difference.

4th Round Draw - Millwall or Dagenham Away
John Boy Saint replied to Thorpe-le-Saint's topic in The Saints
Fairly inert bill of fare dished up by the draw, ITV have something to get über moist about Liverpool v Manure. -
We did get them ones too! Sunday afternoon with Medals. See you there?

Mrs JBS always comments on his well tanned legs even in the dead of Winter!!!

The Gulf between the Academy and the first team is immense, its a bit like getting onto a boat that is not tied to the quayside, you either get on board with confidence, or a bit of a wobble, or you just fall down the gap into the sea! I can remember Gareth Bale playing in the Academy final v Villa he had been playing in the 1st team for a little while but as it was his band of Brothers Georges Prost made sure he was involved. Well very quickly you saw that with a handful of 1st team games under his belt how much more assured and mature he was compared to his team mates. Similar could be said about Wayne Bridge playing in the first team he was first man on everyone's team sheet, when he came back from Japan 2002 you instantly saw that he had gone up a few levels just through going to the world cup. In these days of fans and media judging a teams success by the money they blow on transfers for the nippers to make it onto the main stage is even more of a struggle, look at our very own Jack Cork a product of Chelsea, a smashing player for us and everywhere he was sent out on loan to but not a a sniff of getting into the Chelsea team. People questioned the boy Sturridge playing for Chelsea simply because he cost nowt and had no pedegree. The pressure is far greater today for a nipper than in the days of Shearer MLT et al when for certain Internet trolls were not sowing the seeds of doubt into the minds of the week and so called media pundits starting the doubts in the first place.

Many SWF posters are amongst the richest people in the world.
John Boy Saint replied to buctootim's topic in The Lounge
Just kicked out the wife and kids now that hat fits! Hmmmmmm I could use to this!! -
Seconded! Caught a bit of the Fabrice Fernandes's of late, showed on Monday that if he lights one from outside the box it gives the goalie a problem.
-
Hmmm, hardly a surprise ffs!! A full on blindside smack in the chops is likely to make most Men hit the deck like a sack of spuds!! Unlike your cheating Jessie of a "player" rolling about like he had been hit by a Train. I think if Rickie had done a Greer on Forte on El-Abd he would have not got up!
-
Shows how many crocks we have bought through the years and how accepting many fans are of them signing for us. I would hope that NC & NA would not be putting Southampton at the head of queue to pay top price for an injured player: 28 is a funny age for players especially ones struggling to shake off an injury.
-
2 things that emphasised their cynical approach to the game (Lambert & Harding events apart). Forte was closed down by El-Abd the ball went out and you could see him getting in Fortes ear, no doubt priming him for a reaction. Then to damningly sum it all up at 3-0 up their CAPTAIN (after no end of niggling interference) see's fit to chance his luck and smash Forte in the face with his elbow when the ball was nowhere near them both.
