Dear Scotland, If you don't want to release your players for the Olympic Games that's fine by us, just make sure Rangers and Celtic NEVER ask to join the Premier League EVER again. Thanks England _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Wales, If you don't want to release your players for the Olympic Games that's fine by us, just take Swansea, Wrexham and Cardiff back to your own sh1*ty league. Thanks England -

Kind of off topic, but the film that this clip is faked from is called "Downfall" and is very very good. one of the best (German made) WW2 films out there, Bruno Ganz is brilliant as Hitler. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/ Anyway, back to laughing at Jacko. -
Chicken and egg springs to mind. Why do you think Al-Qaeda and terrorists hate America (the west).

If its a large update and you have a slow internet connection, could take a while.

Cheers for all the info, knew I could rely on you lot.

Yeah, it's a house I'm thinking about buying. As you can see, it needs a bit of modernisation. In my head, its seems just a case of ripping that gas fire out, making safe the pipes, re-establish the open fire, add grate / hearth etc. bet its no way near as simple as that !!!
-
Hello chaps, after some advice from the DIY'ers out there... How much (roughly) would it cost to replace this gas fire with an open fire. does it have to be done by a corgi registered engineer as the gas pipes will need to be closed off. What sort of process will have to be carried out. cheers for the advice.

Please select witty comment from one of the following: - Probably due to all the noise in the chapel - Adkins out !!! - Cortese has deliberately turned down the volume and will charge Chapel ST holders to turn it back up. - Maybe your hearing aid needs looking at

[TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #0000CC]DanBrett90 Posted on 15/09/2011 17:36 Letter to the club,[/TD] [TD=bgcolor: #0000CC] Report Message | Email Message To A Friend | Reply To Message[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #FFFFFF][/TD] [TD=bgcolor: #FFFFFF, align: right] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #FFFFFF, colspan: 2]I have just sent the email below to stadium manager Derek Stone. I have sent this as quiery on how we would go about getting the drums erradicated for a short period of games (6-7, ideally). I have also emailed them seperately about using the official site as a base to put new, creative songs on, in an attempt to get a much wider coverage. I hope to have a response in the coming days. Dan. -------------------------------- Hello there, My name is Dan Brett, and I am a local journalist - more importantly, a Pompey season ticket holder. I am writing to you today to enquire about the drums that are regularly featured in the Fratton End, and the legality of taking them into the stadium on match days. I am writing to ask you this because, over the past 18 months, it seems more and more fans' that regularly attend matches are fed up with the drums - not the drummers - but the way that they are continually played for ninety minutes, stifling any attempt at atmosphere. I have interviewed John Westwood last week who admitted that he would not be willing to leave the drums at home for any period of time, as he doesn't see why he should, despite many fans' coming to me and telling me of their discontent on the drums. I was wondering what the first steps would be to getting these (not permanently, but temporarily) banned for a period of six matches. It seems that the 'band stand' idea didn't work - just moved the problem - however it is my opinion, as well as those I have spoken to, that a period without the drums would help the atmosphere recover to what it once was. Those people have no problem with John Westwood personally, just the way that the instruments are utilised throughout the match. I am working on a variety of other ways to boost the atmosphere at Fratton Park, encorporating fans' opinions and ideas, as well as the local pubs. It seems many want a better atmosphere at Fratton, but can see no way around it unless the drums are erradicated, allowing for new songs and creativity to spread throughout the stands. Also, I would like to ask on the current state of the Victory Suite below the Fratton End, and what purpose it has. I am looking to use local pubs as a key focal point to get new songs out, but would love to use the Victory Suite - a main drinking establishment for many of those in the Fratton End, as a starting point to get new songs and fan ideas through the stand, hopefully recreating the atmosphere and bringing us back to the 'Fortress Fratton' state, rather than the lacklustre shell of a fanbase we are now. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Dan Brett.[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #FFFFFF, colspan: 2][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Have been emailed this by a work colleague. Apparently it was posted by a skate on another Saints forum..... Just passing on the info. After the events of the last meeting between Saints and Pompey and the disorder that took place despite a large police operation, Hampshire Police in conjunction with both clubs are I am told considering a drastic plan of action to segregate supporters at the forthcoming game at Fratton Park which if successful will be duplicated for the return game at St Mary's In simple terms what is being proposed is that every Saints fan who wants to attend the game will have to travel on an official club coach and will only receive their match ticket when the coach is in motion and on its way to the match. The convoy of coaches will be escorted from St Mary's to Fratton, will be parked in a secure area and then Saints fans will be escorted in and out of the ground and back to Southampton. It’s a measure that has been used by other Police forces for Derby games such as these, most notably for the Newcastle V Sunderland fixtures, so its a plan that has been proven to work. Its not ideal for those that live out of the direct Southampton area, for instance if you are a Saints fan who lives in say Chichester, you would have to drive past Brighton and all the way to Southampton to get on a coach, likewise if you are from London where a number of our regular travelling supporters reside then instead of going direct to Pompey by train which would be roughly the same cost as going to Southampton, you would have to come to Soton by train then pay again to go by coach to Pompey, its an effective measure but not ideal as it inconveniences many. But for the Police it makes their job a lot easier, it isolates all of the away support into one easily controlled area, from where they can keep home fans well away. It also means that they can easily spot those who would perhaps go to the game to cause trouble easily, quite simply anyone trying to go by train would be easily seen by Police spotters and issued with orders stopping them from going to the vicinity of the match on that day, it makes it harder for potential trouble makers to blend in with other supporters. There are of course drawbacks to doing this, firstly the number of coaches needed for the operation, if Saints where to receive around 2,500 tickets for the game then about 50 coaches would be needed and that’s a big number and a long convoy to escort into each city. Secondly its what to do with supporters when they get to the ground, the problem at St Mary's is easily solved in that with a big covered concourse with TV screens etc, the fans can be kept entertained if they have an hour or so before the game to kill and food and drink easily obtained, however at Fratton its a lot different with the away end being so devoid of such facilities. For the December game at Fratton with a kick off of 1pm, Saints fans would probably be needing to start leaving St Mary's on the first coach at around 10.30am, probably be needing to board at 10am to ensure that they arrive at Fratton in good time and can be escorted and enter the ground in good time, with catering facilities so sparse in the away end at Fratton and the fact that the coaches would probably not arrive back at St Mary's till around 4.30pm Saints fans could struggle to be able to buy food and drink for a period of around 6 - 7 hours. Thoughtful planning could of course help alleviate problems, if the police and Clubs look at this potential problem then perhaps plenty of catering outlets could be provided in the secure coach parking areas, again this would help funnel out the crowd and ensure that 2,500 supporters weren’t all trying to get in at the same time, this was a problem at the last two derby games at Fratton when over 1,000 fans on the train not only arrived late due to the police being unable to get them down Goldsmith Avenue, but then where further delayed b their being only three turnstiles for the whole away end. Perhaps the final problem would be where to park the coaches, at Fratton there is a large industrial area that could be used, but at St Mary's it might be hard to fit 50 -60 coaches into Brittannia Road. These measures have worked well in the past notably for the Tyne- Wear games where the police have been able to spot large groups travelling on public transport and pack them back off to their own City, due to having to be on the coach to actually see the game, it means that you can have no excuse for going by any other method and the police can quickly isolate ticket less fans as Sunderland police did when around 200 Newcastle fans travelled by train and where quickly rounded up and sent back. Its very likely that they are now going to adopt these same tactics in Hampshire, in truth many law abiding fans will welcome these moves, certainly Fratton is not a great place to visit due to a section of their support as was evidenced during our last two visits, however if its to be implemented then the Police do need to consider the welfare of supporters and ensure that the operation is carried out without putting supporters through situations that can be easily avoided.
