Bowie hasn't performed live since 2006 apparently. Fancy relegating Nick Mason to a backing role for Sheehan.

No. It was Prince Harry.. Easy mistake to make though.

Nice comment elsewhere, speculating on Brazil's bit in the ceremony ...... 'will it feature men who fool yootisto thinking they are women, ... and wax?'

Kaiser chiefs are no 'who'

Matter of opinion I suppose. Still at least he's not Robbie bloody Williams

George bloody Michael. Oh well.

Quite a moment for the ugandan marathon winner though. That's the way to get your medal!

Think I've got that on cassette!

Think it was the queen and Daniel Craig

Suits with shorts and bowler hats with light bulbs on top. What's eccentric about that?
-
Yep! Soon there will only be 4 or 5 posters left on there!

Bit odd Prince Harry being the most senior royal isn't it? Are the others parachuting agan?!
-
Too late!

That was a genuine Portsmouth fan that posted that. Mind you, with the paranoia on POL, he will probably be banned anyway.

Some reality finally kicking in on POL ........ New "A ground that holds less than 21k. No really decent or any proper corporate facilities. Training facilities quite basic and not even owned by the club, a significant debt, no signed squad. As for the best fans......Afraid not. We keep on saying we are but even when in the top flight we couldn't consistantly fill a small stadium. Even in the premiership there wasn't a waiting list of fans who couldn't get season tickets was there? So there are not twenty thousand Pompey fans wanting to see their team in the top flight with players that a just a few years before we could only dream of. I'm not knocking the fans, after all i'm one of them, but think of the so called Pompey fans who filled Wembley or the 250k who cheered the open top bus ride, where were they when the season was under way? People talk about the catchment area that PFC has but I don't think even acounting for the glory hunters or prawn sarny brigade we could fill a shiney new 30k seater stadium. Forget the rivalry forget the bias or scum hating emotions, it will be interesting to see how many season tickets have been sold down the road now that they are in the Premiership and have a nice new stadium; after all our catchment area is near enough the same as thiers surely? The hard core Pompey fans are passionate are noisey but that hard core is not that big. Many of those fans that cheered and clapped Mr Henry did not bother to buy a season ticket. I don't know what our prices were compared to other Premiership clubs but everyone across the nation were affected by the economic downturn so can we simply put it down to cost? So IMHO we are not a good buy and even though it was not the fans fault, Portsmouth Football Club's name since this whole debacle began has been tarnished and that may also influence some potential buyers. There must be other clubs out there with potential, good facilities, a good fan base but without the baggage we have and who is investing millions in them? There is no white knight, our best bet is something like the Trust to bring us back to being an honest club, a family club, a community club, a passionate club, a decent club, but not a big one.

Totally agree. Went to the Olympic park a couple of times this last week. They even pipe music all round the park, never mind in the venues. And at the hockey, if 'they' felt the crowd was a bit quiet they played a clip of "we will rock you" at full blast. Why oh why oh why oh why .... And by the way why we did have to have an American commentating in the athletics stadium ...not just with an American accent but with all those awful American sports commentatior habits ? Grrrrr.

Ah yes , 'banker', the rhyming slang username!

So that's me, hypo, Scot McCoughlin (sp?), Colin Farmery and some git called Frattoniser, that make the entire POL list of posters?

The talk on POL is about a tweet from someone they seem to think is ITK, that says Chainrai is taking over in the next 24 hours, as TBH does a deal. Well I say the talk ,but it is always pretty quiet on there .....they only have about 20 members left that are allowed to post!

Went today. Assuming you are going via Waterloo, ignore the advice to get off the tube at west ham ...go on to Stratford on jubilee line.. It's not too congested . Take food with you if you want it ...queues are long in the Park.

Argentina upping the ante on the Falklands....
Ken Tone replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Lounge
Last time I was there, some islanders I met were chuckling wryly to themselves, after buying some waitrose badged chicken from the West Store supermarket in Stanley..... Country of origin, Argentina. The meat had gone all the way to the Uk ,then been shipped back down to the Falklands. -
Ben Ainslie and Iain Percy both went to Peter Symonds College in Winchester -- local lads , sort of!

Argentina upping the ante on the Falklands....
Ken Tone replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Lounge
I've been to that cemetery. It is extremely unlikely that any Falkand Islander would vandalise it. The islanders show great respect for all such memorials. And if someone did want to vandalise ,why would they choose just that one small piece of glass out of all that huge cemetery? It might even have been damage caused by the high winds that prevail there. -
I'll look at it. Thanks

Thanks again for the advice so far. Idiot question from me now please, because I've been trying to decide which contract deal is best -- high on free minutes but no data , or low on minutes but some free data. Email usage. Is that effectively data download, so that if the contract has loads of free minutes and texts but no data allowance, there will be a cost for every email read or sent ? Any idea of cost?
