I had a mate who was an account manager at Electrolux with Comet as one of his responsibilities. One Boxing Day at 9 o'clock in the morning he got a phone call from the buyer demanding to know why 2 competitors were selling their washing machines at 2p cheaper and what was he going to do about it!!

Quick Quid ... interest at 1734% per annum!!
John Boy Saint replied to Bourne Valley Saint's topic in The Lounge
Advertising these companies on Kids TV channels is very irresponsible, these guys know what they are doing. Firsly targetting hard up parents in need of a quick fix, but at the same time sowing little seeds in youngsters heads for later in life. -
Do you think Spurs are seeing if we are still gullible enough to fall for a repeat of the Tommy Forecast gag: trying to swap a Donkey for one of our Throughbreds again!!!

I did it under my own steam with JohnBoytours, so if you want to do a very easy cheap and pleasant weekend (as much as a trip to Auschwitz will allow it to be pleasant) I can give you some tips including an excellent company to get you about.

Folks will only want them back to see if the one on the top of the Pyramid face plants at the end of the back flip dismount!!

Having made the visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau it is a real eye opener. Especially as they guide you to the "homely" Auschwitz first then to Birkenau: its desolate vast emptiness leaves you in no doubt as to the industrial scale of what went on. At Auschwitz where most of the buildings still stand the most sinister part is that the camp commandant lived in a very nice house with his Wife & 2 children within the grounds of the camp, in sight of the small gas chamber and crematorium!

Super Saint was seen on the OS launching Movember sporting a very impressive Moustache only last week. Wasn't it rumoured that Sammy was the product of a wild drunken night out in Southampton where Super managed to pull a top glamour model. This wasn't revealed until Sammy made his debut at St Mary's and folks were amazed at how much more handsome Sammy was than his Dad Super.

Very interesting. Take a closer look at photo 31: is that a ship going up the mushroom stem, and look at the sticks on the beach in the foreground - there are blokes sat on 2 of them 3.5 miles from a nuclear explosion!! And the Japanese soldier relieved of Duty in 1974, quite bizarre.

Even at 30mph dense smoke from a Bonfire would be passed through very quickly. That said driving 40,000 miles a year you can see someone in a car slamming on the brakes, then a lorry who needs loads of braking distance coming up behind them Jack-knifing as a result of slamming its brakes tying to avoid a collision. Then the car driving on totally oblivious to the carnage going on behind them..... The mileage I drive I see these happy drivers tootling along in their steel bubbles totally unaware of their surroundings: accidents waiting to happen

Blimey that Fonte bloke looks like he hasn't even found a local barber since he has been here. and look what happened to Guly first time he found a Barber in Southampton he must have regretted that little trip for months.

We had 2 heating issues 2 years running both times when Snow was on the ground and having to wait to get sorted. It soon got chilly in the house, so I bought an oil filled electric radiator and a Halogen heater, the Halogen took the edge off the cold quickly and the Oil filled radiator kept the warmth up. Ours was a small 2 bed house and they seemed to do the job, not toasty but enough, I was amazed at how little Electric they used.

I had a very enjoyable Prawn sandwich ticket for today. Being sat in touching distance of Coventry fans was a bit strange. There was one Coventry fan with crutches who as our host said breathed and played every ball "the Sky Blues" played every time he had been there. He even went to give the board his 2 penneth worth. Something that seems to happen when we play against teams who offer no challenge we seem to switch off as a team. Once again for me Big Jos was superb. We seem to have gotten in to a habit of stubbornly not giving up: which is bloody superb.

Like Nigel said when I spoke to him after the game (ooo get me) first half was good second half was entertaining.
-
Shame they didn't get a second Hovercraft in and have a race. Still seeing a Hovercraft on the pitch was a bit surreal!!

I have a mate who was on the books of Bristol City then Aston Villa, he played against Shearer and Wallace with his academy team, because of the surroundings he was use to he thought he was invincible, until the day him and his mate went to meet some girls they had met who never turned up as arranged. The two of them missed the team bus and that was the end of both their football careers. He says he can remember sitting on the stairs listening to the Villa youth coach telling his Mum & Dad that their son had blown his chance in football.......... That was it, the guy is now a retail buyer. Leon Best is a lucky boy that he was allowed to get away with bad attitude, and now finds himself in the Premiership on the crest of a wave.

Not seen a Thunderstorm for ages......... Counting the Flash to rumble 10 miles south of Basingstoke & getting closer!

Strangest thing you've heard shouted out at Southampton?
John Boy Saint replied to ToreSF's topic in The Saints
Not Saints but back in the 80s there was a trip to Stamford Bridge with work folk, one bloke in the group was not the sharpest pencil in the box. First half Kerry Dixon was "come on Terry!". 2nd half after a few lads tried to correct him as he was attracting the wrong kind of attention, it was "come on Perry"! By about 75 mins this bloke had 10sq feet to himself on the terrace! -
1) even the club knew this was going to be a one man and his dog attendance as they tried to link a discounted ticket offer to the Boro game and the Boro game. 2) Perhaps he has chosen now was the right time in his life to tell the real truth and to come out!

compared with Do-Do-Da-Do "Steve de Ridder" usual half a brain cell used normal bill of fair! .......................... you missed the bit used ahead of imaginative: I think that makes it 1-1

I cant believe the some of the comments above, last nights game became very strange and pedestrian after we went 2 up and then they went down to 10 men, so folks decided to amuse themselves. The call of Steeeeeeeeeeeve was a tad strange and a bit imaginative in the grand scheme players names usually sung to 2 or3 "backing tracks". Spreading it through the rest of the team as the ball was passed about was inoffensive too. Despite there being a few numpties amongst the crowd, especially in the Northam, at least we actually make the effort to make a noise. If we have got to the stage where we have to sit in silence for fear of being maligned by fellow fans for trying out a new chant then we might as well not bother turning up. at Reading last weekend they had 2 songs at a push, Arsenal fans sing chuff all, at least we have a regular repertoire of at least 10 songs.

Got a mate who has been on call over night, he whiled the witching hours away tap tapping. Just had a tap while eating my breakfast , at 90.5% it is now taking some tapping to make the numbers change.

Er.......... Basingstoke Town: going like a train this season.

Do you think you can get medication for this kind of condition, whoever it is must have worn out carpet from the pensive pacing up and down between tweets and wake up in the night soaking wet in a cold sweat from not having tweeted some cobblers in the past 10 minutes.............................. Feel free to mock me: is this a spoof site????!!!

Good innings, did so much for charity. RIP Sir Jimmy
