John Boy Saint

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian War Party. The Indian Chief proclaims, "So, YOU are the great Lone Ranger" .. "In honor of the Harvest Festival, YOU will be executed in three days." "Before I kill you, I grant you three requests" "What is your FIRST request ???' The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse." The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger who whispers in Silver's ear, and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back. as the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night. The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed.. "You have a very fine and loyal horse". "But I will still kill you in two days." "What is your SECOND request ???" The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse's ear. As before, Silver takes off and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a voluptuous brunette, more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Rangers tent and spends the night. The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed. "You are indeed a man of many talents,". "But I will still kill you tomorrow." "What is your LAST request ???" The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse, .... alone." The Chief is curious, but he agrees, and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent. Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, Looks him square in the eye and says: Listen Very Carefully !!!! .........FOR... THE... LAST... TIME... I SAID ... ......."BRING POSSE"!

Nice to see a range of clothing with big people in mind; perhaps he's not such a bad lad after all............................................................................................................................. :smt034

In that article it says that Bernie and Max are "paranoid about not enough teams making the grid in 2010". Well this little change will hasten that happening, in the current world climate, who is going to continuing chucking millions of dollars down the drain to not even have any chance to win a championship. This will become like the Football Premiership the top four get all the money and everyone else is left to bob about as cannon fodder with almost zero chance of breaking into the golden circle. Years ago these 2 poked their fingers into the Sportscar (Le Mans) series. Jaguar had just racked up a couple of Le Mans wins 1000k endurance races were very well attended. Big manufacturers backed the series, Jaguar, Mercedes, Porsche, Aston Martin. Yes some of the engines were a tad obscene by todays standard: 7ltr Jags, 5ltr lightly blown Mercs, 6 ltr Astons, 3.5ltr fully blown Porsche, but they were all the type of engines that you expect from these marques. Then then probably as a result of the attendance popularity encroaching on F1 these 2 changed the engine rules making them all 3.5ltr normally aspirated engines, 1000 kilometre races were stopped, as a result most of the privateers threw in the towel. We went to the Silverstone round the year these changes were made the race started the cars went past us and my wife said where's the rest of the cars "thats the lot" was my reply. "What only 8 cars!" she exclaimed. In reality we paid good money to see a poor spectacle compared to the big field 1000k days only the year before. I bet they are paranoid because if only 8 cars made the Formula 1 grid in 2010 the pair of them would be lynched by the folks in the grandstands who had just stumped up £120 for the privilege of watching a very dull affair. I will look forward to cutting my grass this summer when there is very little point in watching.

Looks like a bunch of grade A plums on first showing, most will have one of their feet not a million miles away from their own facial orifice. Philip Taylor looks a bit like Bryan Robson, hopefully for him that's where the resemblance ends.

Who is going to listen to a bank that can't run itself solvently without outside assistance, if you have shares sit on them don't panic and unload them as you will only make matters worse. I have 20 odd years before we might have to start dipping into ours by then the world will have gone round a few thousand times and them events of these turbulent years will have passed into history.

Thank you

Which pre match pub shows Sky as the Lads who are coming to the QPR game on Saturday with me fancy watching the Manure v Liverpool game beforehand without busting a gut to make kick off.

The pitch was narrowed a couple or 3 seasons ago on the kingsland side. If you look at where the lino runs towards Team Saints corner in certain lights you can see a darker strip where the old lino wear line has grown back. Hood down Anorak off.

1987 was my first British Grand Prix and what a race. The boys from the pub were all Grand Prix anoraks we had been camped between Club and Abbey from the small hours. When Mansell went into the pits the disappointment all around us was tangible. From then on the intensity of the crowd grew with each lap, it had to be the longest Mexican wave in the world as every time Mansell went past the crowd were willing him on as he reeled Piquet in. As Piquet exited Stowe you could hear people counting the gap before Mansell appeared. When Mansell and Piquet were both on the Straight between Stowe and Club the place was going mad it went berserk when Mansell came out of Stowe first with a lap to go. On his celebration lap he ran out of fuel right in front of us, being the last year before total fencing everyone was on the track, everyone wanted to touch their hero the trouble was that being closest to the car you were pushing back because the heat coming off the car was so intense; these were the 1500cc turbocharged days if they had run a night race in those days I swear you would have seen the whole car glowing in the night not just the brake discs. What a race!, nigh on 22 years (!) later you can tell it is still indelibly burnt into the memory bank.

Yeah absolutely loads mate....................................... Except it will all be a figment of your imagination as most of it will be hidden by strategically placed Buns & Jams as per the original idea. But then get a box and you might just get to sneak a peek from the side. :smt048

A bit disappointed Phil Boyer didn't get a shout, spearheaded our attack through promotion and continued his goal scoring feats into the 1st Division (old money) which even in todays football is a rarity.

Always a worry when teams have to make do and mend, it presents the ones who warm the bench with a chance to depose the players in their way. I always remember a game against Leeds years ago their regular goalie was replaced by some young nipper called John Lukic, the chat on the Milton terrace was "here's a chance to beat Leeds with a kiddie in goal". He played out of his skin (he had to we were a tasty team ourselves in those days) and we lost 1-2.

Blimey Stu I could swear there is a 9 minute echo in here tonight. :-)

NOW GO !!! Walk out the door........... can't you hear them? ........... They don't want you any more!!

Jasper Carrot had the best ones: "I did not see the bus stop at the time as it was obscured by human beings"

The Milestone on the side of the road a mile from my house says Southampton 32 miles

Listening to Saga in his post match interview it seems like the big difference despite no natural wingers was the ball being played into both his and Euells feet for a change.

Discovered why the Police were mounted today: the Mounted Police and Dog section is based within a mile of Ashton Gate so I suppose it is a good exercise for both the Horses and the Dogs.

That Skoda going past your Veyron like you were in reverse, as they pursue the stolen Lamborghini 2 miles ahead of you; perhaps? :arrow:

Is that Lead as in being in front? or Lead as what seems to be the main material used in the construction of the players boots?

At work we have been producing product price lists ourselves for our customers, to date the easiest way has been is to take the excel spreadsheet master then cut and paste it into illustrator and then lock the cells. Then to reduce the file size we have created PDF's which also makes them easier to move around. The problem with this is the time spent collating the 16 pages as we do not seem to be capable of producing a complete 16 page document that prints in the right order, fully collated. Having now got the headed price list paper we were hoping that we could format the excel master so that we could tell the printer to print straight onto the paper in a uniform manner. However after many hours of picking at the metaphorical wallpaper edge setting print areas and making sure the cell count is the same on each page, we keep getting every page doing what it wants , not what we want it to do. We keep getting pages of different sized grids complete with "widows and orphans" that were not there to start with. So far the the guide book has not pointed us in the right direction, so: are we expecting too much? Should we create the price list in a different software programme? Is there any blindingly brilliant website for dummy's out there in the ether that might help, or is the solution staring us right in the face? Cheers in advance, a very Frustrated John Boy Saint

I have to go with Lawrie Mac, Ted had just stepped aside when my keen interest in Saints was realised, so at an impressionable age Lawrie introduced me into the swashbuckling, take on all comers football that his teams played. Cup Finals, players who were household names, smashing European champions into submission: What an adventure. Plus he did get me my tickets for the 1979 League Cup Final

I can not believe the amount of people in their cars in the these snowy skiddy conditions driving so close to the back of my car, and others, that I can not see their lights in my rear view mirror. Is car insurance so damn cheap that they can afford a claim through rear ending someone?? Rant over

I have to say Special K has a point, all you need is a few fruit loops and renta oik and the whole thing will play right into his Nibs hands if it all kicks off en route. The fan on Fan fighting that we saw v Doncaster shows that it doesn't take very much.

I think the main problem that people have with Skacel is the fact that he was signed with all the hullabaloo of a Messiah from the east (via the north) on the pitch!! And quite frankly he has failed to live up to that expectation.
