1976 Bobby Stokes scores a goal. My dad drinks most of a bottle of whiskey in 15mins. He vomits. Full of emotions I decide to visit my best mate Alan who lives in a caravan on Segensworth rd. I miss some buses. I walk to Titchfield from Maybush. I enter a pub there to try and phone a friend of Alan. He's out. Just as the locals are about to eat me (I thought they'd be happy about Saints win, oddly they were not) Alan bursts in having driven his mighty CB250 Honda to Southampton and back several times looking for me. With a cheery "up the Saints" we mount his throbbing machine and retire to his caravan where we play prog rock, annoy his girlfriend and drink some tea. We knew how to have fun and celebrate in those days.

Here in South Wales things are really rocking. Hope the interweb stays up so I can stare at Flashscore for extended periods.

Not much to disagree with there. Watching the car crash of Celtics game yesterday with their manager (already being called R.Martin like) and the interview afterwards basically say performance trumps results, I'm feeling a bit calmer about our manager appointment.

Yes, I dont expect neutrals but they have an interesting relationship with noth the english language and the rules of association football.

Who are these numpties on commentary?

Antibiotics will clear that up mate.

I find that really depressing. By the time you remove those who wouldn't touch us with a bargepole, and those I'd not touch with one, it's poor.

Is that the "rabbit in headlight" look ?

Bugger, I'd hoped a draw was enough to extend the entertainment / damage / hilarious Rangers comments.

With a striker costing 125m starting. But yes, 'pool looked a little disjointed though Saints put them under good pressure for parts of the game. Not that the BBC seem to know, more coverage of the tricky shirt removal issues than the footy.

Your career in the diplomatic service awaits.

Basic rate was around 38-40% at the start of the 70s. It didn't dip below 30% until 1986. Finally below 25% in 1995. I think people also forget inflation over those decades fluctuated at silly levels compared to what we have experienced in the last 20yrs. A double whammy for many.

Looks like she could do with someone limiting her carb intake. Southampton, cheaper than Manjaro

Sky? useless? I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
