Methinks you have to have linked technology, although might just be the timer control and the thermostat that need to be upgraded. If it is, ours is a Honeywell system with Wireless control so that might be a starting point for you.

Getting the impression that the ticket office press releases and information supply is a little bit "I love me" "we are smokin behind this glass". They don't seem to have grasped the fact that old maxim "build it and they will come" is now coming into play, so rather than whipping up a selling storm they now need to just give folks the facts. If a week before an away game we still have tickets then ramp up the BS, to get the rest sold. To have loads of folks outside the stadium from stupid o'clock in the morning for just 150 tickets is not clever especially as the majority will miss out. What good does that do? It does no good at all as it just leaves a bitter taste not for missing out but for the lack of transparency in the first place. Thankfully I got mine in the original round of sales.

Move along: 3 pages! Nothing to see here........................................................ apart from the You Tube footage of the Landlady flailing in the Christmas Tree: come on there must have been at least one iPhone on the premises!!

Didnt realise the Juventus "connection" to Notts County, in these times of money money money very nice touch from the recently dodgy Juventus

Scrub the mould off walls with bleach then paint with mould inhibiting bathroom paint

What another one!!! Cripes twice in one night!!! They know how to party them Scousers!

Give folks a few days off at Christmas and persistent intake of incahol, mince pies, cheese, Christmas pudding, more incahol, nuts chocolates etc etc seems to have a hallucinogenic effect.

Ooooo! I got a big AXE!!!!

I have a TAG Heuer that was the result of a previous one being spirited away off my wrist by a big wave on the beach in Spain, insurance coughed up new for old and I replaced it with a similar looking one which had to come from the facory in Switzerland as no stock existed here. It's only a basic Aquaracer but when having a look in the TAG shops and consessions around the place always draws comments. For doing heavy work I have self winding Citizen, which once you build up a head of steam in the spring is as good as gold, especially for £19.95

If you do it yourself just watch the electrics bit, as given the merest excuse the insurance companies will look for ant excuse to weasel out of coughing up, thanks to some MP giving himself a buzz off the elastictrickery he put into place a pretty ruling that stuffs up DIY Sparks of any sort.

You had me believing this was all possible until you went and put that stupid line in the middle! Maybe a few times this season, but next? we will be kicking off at Sky o'clock and not see a 3pm kick off on a Saturday until 23rd February!!

Samuel Eto's wife was reputedly seen in John Lewis ordering made to measure curtains with Mrs Cortese whilst on the phone to Coleen Rooney.

Good set of lungs on him too, you could really hear him barking out instructions yesterday.

It was great to see us playing flowing football in both halves again. People seem to be moaning about how quiet the ground is during the game, but I don't know about some of you but yesterday in particular our play was mesmerising to the point of hypnotic. Mrs JBS often says that I sit there in a state of automatic trance when we are playing well, so the quietness is no doubt due to vast numbers of the crowd being in the same world as me. We seemed to have a nice balance yesterday across the pitch, Kelvin Jos & Jose solid at the base, Morgan setting the tempo, Jack doing the dirty work and Rickie and Guly prowling around like Predators. Then you have pure speed up the right and a bit of intelligence on the left. Richardsons crossing 9 times out of 10 is pretty lethal. Men of the match for me were Morgan and Steve, that track back tackle from Steve in the first half was immense.

Conversation in the car going home was that he has to be signing of the season, and that of the centre back pairing he is the stronger of the two...................... And seemingly a great bloke with it: always claps the crowd at the end and that Squarehead this last week.

I think there were folks who bought tickets in the row behind us who had not realised that it was a 1pm kick off as they rocked up at half time. Oooooopps!!

This is such a simple formula for half time and something thankfully they have persevered with as it has become increasingly amusing and the whole stadium gets to see it. Yesterday with the little nipper on his toes without the ball and then both missing the goal at the end was the first time most of the stadium got really vocal. A few weeks back the teams seemed a little uneven in size when to came to the end the "bigger" team who were well out in front skewed it wide, well considering most half time entertainment is derided by many the oooh from the crowd was quite loud then the roar of encouragement for the next nipper to steal it at the end, and the cheer when he did, shows it works.

Merry Christmas to one and all. ............... and especially to the team who while we are taking it easy are training today: God Bless Them and Thank You for a 2011 to remember for many years to come.

How many of you think the shops should be open on Boxing day? For years the vast majority of stores were shut Christmas, Boxing, and New Years Day, even 20 years ago. Now Supermarkets and many stores remain open as late as possible on Christmas Eve, shut for one day (without doubt these days reluctantly) them go again on the 26th until Easter Sunday. Strangely Boxing Day was a day for servants who were given the day off after ensuring everything went smoothly on Christmas Day for their employers. Now it seems like the meaning of Boxing Day has been lost and the servants are back at the coal face serving the hordes who can't go without the shopping for 2 days. I dont work in retail, but I think the 3 major Bank Holidays of Christmas should be returned to total Holiday for all but the very essential services (and Football) , surely we can all survive without the shops being open on 4 days of the year at least.

Hands up those who, after years of supporting Saints, look at that ONE time out of 6 where there has been failure, just see that as the leveller to keep their feet firmly on the ground. Bit cynical I know, but as the definition of a cynic goes: an optimist with experience!

Dull as ditch water in our house! I fancy Goose for a change but all I get is upturned noses. So for our first Christmas in our new house the four of us will be having the usual Bird with all the trimmings: Pigs, Stuffing, Roasties, Fart pills(Sprouts) with bacon and Chestnuts etc etc Finished with trying to burn the house down with a flaming Christmas Pud with strategic coinage secreted about it. All washed down with a choice of a very pleasant Cote du Rhone, a tasty Sancerre, possibly a nice Prossecco picked up on a recent trip to Venice.

Ooooo shock horror!!! Krauts you say??!

They can run it for the Brizzle game, 3 of the 4 Chapel old farts are set to repeat the Huddersfield game last Christmas where we shed the responsibilities of (very) Adult life, and catch the train from Basingstoke to Southampton and drink our way to the stadium and back again afterwards. ................ The Chapel Arms will get the swerve this year: I swear that beer is 75% laxative (for number 1's!).

Gold Star on top of the Christmas Tree for the Cat!! Outside Nottarf Krap Saints shirt and a Squarehead.................. Priceless

Taarabat can leave whenever he wants, PSG were on the sniff Warnock said he would drive him there himself for the Mickey Mouse money being talked about. Dyers crocked long term. QPR friends of mine can't wait for the window to open as their squad is a bit light: they also said when JP comes on it is like a wasted substitution as he is not up to speed with the rest of the team. I think this little kink in his career is beginning to haunt JP, so the penny might have dropped to be a team player rather than the misfit he is becoming.
