John Boy Saint

Testarossa 25years old!!?..................... Sh!t I am getting old!! If he was trying to sell it I would have imagined that he would have gone a bit faster for official confirmation of its potential.

Not when you have Pillocks like Gordon Taylor with his stick still in the puddle, Also this would have to be a unilateral directive from FIFA and UEFA otherwise no national footie association would have the balls to be the first.

Is that the one near Setthorns camp site, where the first 100 yards down the slope from the car park is the dodge the dog poo obstacle course?

Sorry Ponty: having grown up from the age of 5 in the wilds of North Hampshire in Village where I lived every Kid in the school could build a snowman on the village green and they would be untouched by anyone else, the competition was to see who's Snowman lasted the longest: it went down to the last spec of snow on the grass. No money no prize just knowing that you had built the last Snowman in the village that Winter was enough kudos for a day or two

MIne needs a new pump and a power flush, no Heating guy without a horse to tie up outside can do it before Wednesday.

I spent the whole afternoon on Sandbanks Beach once creating a masterpiece of a Sandcastle, took bloomin hours. While it was under construction passing people were stopping to look and comment. Half an hour after completion a family came along with a couple of lads under 10 and sat a few yards away, within minutes they had come over and smashed it to bits as I sat with my feet in my "moat". A Dad and his child built a real monster of a Snowman in the field near us, must have been 8-9 ft tall, within the hour after construction it was mush on the floor.................... As you say "This Country"

Oh Poo!! I have to blooming work at a trade show in Birmingham on the date that the game has been rearranged for....................................... Gitbags!!!

That was a bitter night, you could see the frost getting whiter on the pitch as the game went on. I remember getting Bangers and Mash from that Mash of the Day place, the mash sat in my stomach for most of the game like a breeze block that had spent the afternoon in the oven which was a bonus.

Boss has given me a Snow day 'ish I will be working at home and he will expect to see results by this afternoon when he returns from his days Skiing in Val D'Isere. C'est la vie. Back to the snow, I have not seen snow like this for this long since I was a nipper (Canada apart 20 odd years ago).

Would we be playing in Purple and White stripes with Grey shorts and Pink & Red socks when this marvellous merger takes place? ;-)

Just finished a 6 foot snowman with the odd break because I swear the snow was not this cold when I was a nipper, all the tracks where I have rolled up the snow have vanished under fresh deep snow.

Get a long stick out and gently knock the snow from your dishes....................... Simples! Better still a couple of well aimed snowballs might dislodge the snow; just hope you don't give the do-da on the sticky outy bit a good clout.

Apparently its called Antelope Trading Park now, I supply The Range and had no idea where it was when they were telling me where Southampton 2 was being built, and I only use to live in Chatsworth Road by the Police station in Bitterne.

In Basingstoke its welcome back to the winter wonderland!! already 2.5 - 3 inches on the fence posts, the A33 runs past the bottom of the garden and its a soft swoosh snow covered sound of the rare tyres passing over it rather than the wet slushy sound. So that will be impassable by the morning.

Hey! Honest boys the Haddock I did last night was this big!!!....... Really!!

Where Dibbens then Jewsons were at the bottom of one of the dips, if I am correct. In answer to someone up the thread saying that Yank fast food can bugger off back over the pond, Burger King is originally a British company.

Probably be what he will be killed with!!

As my Dad said when I passed my test, "Any idiot can drive fast, its knowing what to do with it when it all starts to go wrong". I drive 40k miles a year (I am no Saint covering those miles) but every single day I see accidents waiting to happen, predominantly involving cars travelling well below the speed limit. Someone above mentioned above about poor Motorway driving, I have a mate who went on a BMW driving course and the instructor told him that on a Motorway he should always drive in the middle lane as it gives greater options for escape should an incident occur...........Unbelievable.

This is what Ponty is referring to: Not so great when you consider that Peugeot rocked up at Le Mans 24 hour race in 1988 with a car designed to exceed 400kph down the 3.7 mile Mulsanne Straight (before Ballestre buggered it up). They achieved 407kph - 252mph, the car survived 59 laps as to set the record they had taped up most of the air vents, Peugeot were happy as it grabbed the fastest car down the Mulsanne headlines and they knew that the car was not a race winner.

Probably the same people who turn their fog lights on at the first whisp of mist then leave them on for the next 2 weeks.

Tyrene Navarro OCCUPATION: Cleaner Blimey an assassin!

I can live with that, another easy tie (he says with his fingers crossed behind his back) :-)

That will keep the pitch looking nice for a bit longer..........:cool:

The pump/blow system that was supposed to be connected to the under pitch pipework was reported to be able to handle 8 inches of rain in an hour, what materialised during the post mortem following the Crystal Palarse game being postponed was that the drains that the system would connect to outside the stadium could not handle the increased waterflow the drainage system would create, also on that same night the high tide in the Solent stifled the flow of rainwater away from all the city's drains. Hood down, Anorak off! :-)

What the ITV Adverts show peppered with annoying snippets of Football spoiling the enjoyment of enthralling adverts. :-)
