  3. John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, 'Here's to spending the rest of me life , between the legs of me wife!' That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night! He went home and told his wife, Mary, 'I won the prize for the Best toast of the night.' She said, 'Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?' John said, 'Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.' 'Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!' Mary said. The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, 'John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary.' She said, 'Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.'
  4. Is that business jargon for the guy who sweeps up at the end of the day :badgrin:
  5. Things are starting to come to light, this from A Sky news blog: Air France Flight A447. The Last 4 Minutes. Tim Marshall June 02, 2009 5:07 PM I've just got this from someone I trust. It originates within Air France. Translation below; 'The ACARS messages of system failures began to arrive at 02:10Z. Indication was that the autopilot had disengaged and the fly by wire system had changed to alternate law. Between 02:11Z and 02:13Z a flurry of messages regarding ADIRU and ISIS faults arrived. At 02:13Z PRIM 1 and SEC 1 faults were indicated, at 02:14Z the last message received was an advisory regarding cabin vertical speed." "Received 4 minutes of automatically triggered satcom transmission from the plane, cascading systems failures, electrics, depressurization." I ran this past an expert. It confirms the theories doing the rounds. It says the plane automatically sent the messages. These are not verbal messages from the pilots. A sudden event caused the autopilot to disengage. The 'cascade' is one system after another failing within seconds of each other. That included the cabin pressure. This suggests the pilots would have had little or no time to attempt to do anything. The advisory on 'cabin vertical speed' is the last message. It may be an automated 'ping' but it still manages to be chilling. The expert says the the fact that the messages were sent out over a four minute period concurs with significant parts of the plane, especially the ****pit, still being intact as the different parts of the signalling computers would have to be attached to the mainframe. http://blogs.news.sky.com/foreignmatters/Post:0fc148fa-4542-4246-99e7-c0a8824562e6
  6. Terrible story, it was discussed on Radio two's Jeremy Vine show today, there was one woman caller who had also lost her son and was contemplating a similar thing, I only hope that she gets the help and support she needs.
  7. Nice idea but being an old git with only a basic knowledge of using a computer, dont expect me to be up on graphic design. I have neither the knowledge nor the software to do it. Oh hang on how about this one
  8. It is totally possible they will draft in some Pompey munters
  9. I have had two members of our family join the OB a few years ago, both left within 2 years of joining, both saying the odds are stacked against them. They catch a criminal red handed, fill out reams of paper work and then some judge lets the **** off with a slapped wrist. Same scum commits the same offence again same result. Here's the guy we need to mend broken Britain
  10. This did make me smile when I read it. truth be told you deserve each other. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/05/31/portsmouth-in-bid-to-bring-back-harry-redknapp-as-boss-exclusive-115875-21403145/

  13. Why oh why are a lot of you so happy to keep on knocking Southampton. I come from South London originaly, I married a Southampton girl and have lived here for over thirty years now I could never go back to live in London. To me it is one of the best cities in the country. Yes it is not without its problems, no city is. But with the fantastic diversity of cultures, the potential for regeneration (Woolston) this place is and deserves to be the best place to live in Britian.
