Spudders

It's a new scheme the club have launched (there was a story about it on the OS, I'm surprised you didn't see it!) basically the club have implemented a new analytics tool that can match up and identify IP addresses of users of the saintsweb forum. If you say the wrong thing on here you'll have your access to the OS either limited or revoked totally.

Is that a euphuism?

Well done, I'm sure he's reconsidering his policy of keeping quiet now you've spoken out & started a new thread!

:lol:

Good to see that work is about to start digging these up within a month or so, with there being more to dig up than originally estimated. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/9615146/British-plane-enthusiast-wins-right-to-dig-up-buried-Spitfires-in-Burma.html British plane enthusiast wins right to dig up buried Spitfires in Burma Burma's government has signed an agreement with Lincolnshire farmer and aviation enthusiast David Cundall to allow the excavation of dozens of rare Spitfire fighters which were buried in the country at the end of the Second World War. The historic find could total 60 of Britain's most iconic fighter plane, the largest number of Spitfires left anywhere in the world. The deal comes after the personal intervention of David Cameron, who discussed bringing the planes home to the UK when he met Burma's President Thein Sein in April. Revered as the plane that won the Battle of Britain in 1940, there are only 35 Spitfires still flying around the world. With a price tag of £1.5 million or more each, Mr Cundall struck the aviation equivalent of a gold mine when he located the planes in February this year, almost 70 years after they were carefully greased and wrapped to preserve them, before being buried in crates. "We estimate that there are at least 60 Spitfires buried and they are in good condition," said Mr Htoo Htoo Zaw, Mr Cundall's Burmese business partner. "This will be the largest number of Spitfires in the world. We want to let people see these historic fighters, and the excavation of these planes will further strengthen relations between Burma and Britain." Work on digging up the planes will start at the end of October. The find is even more valuable because the Spitfires are rare Mark XIV fighters, equipped not with the famous Rolls-Royce Merlin engine but with the more powerful Griffon type. Although more than 20,000 Spitfires were built in Britain during the Second World War, only 2,042 later models were powered with Griffon engines and just a handful are still flying today. Mr Cundall, 62, spent 16 years and over £130,000 of his own money scouring former RAF airfields in Burma for the planes, after receiving a tip-off that they were buried at the end of a runway in August 1945. It is thought that the aircraft were abandoned in Burma before they ever took to the air because they were no longer needed with so many Spitfires then flying and the war ending. According to the Burmese press, Mr Cundall and Mr Zaw signed the deal to excavate the planes on Tuesday in Rangoon with Burma's director-general of Civil Aviation Tin Naing Tun. Burma's transport minister Nyan Tun Aung was cited as hailing the agreement as a milestone in Anglo-Burmese relations, and as recognition by the British government of Burma's recent pro-democracy reforms. Mr Cameron made retrieving the planes a priority when he travelled to Rangoon in April to meet Mr Sein and Aung San Suu Kyi. But the deal was delayed after a tussle between Mr Cundall and British businessman Steve Boultbee Brooks over who had the right to extract the planes. Most of the Spitfires are expected to be returned to the UK, with some remaining in Burma on display.

:lol: very good! I'm gonna nick that for facebook status!

I think it'll go right to the wire again, but we'll survive, just

Why is there not an option for Porstmouth fans, they deserve a statue

You pray we won't stay up?!?!?!

I just came on here to post ther same thing trousers, it's laughable really isn't it! I wonder how long these 'highlights' are?

You know that for sure? You mean in the same way he wouldn't let us go through the summer without strengthening the squad in the places where it obviously needed to be strengthened for us to get a good start to this season?

Good read. Very difficult at the moment, as fans we need to take a leap of faith. Whilst we want to sort things out quickly and change seems the easiest way to do so, sometimes taking the more difficult route is the better option longer term, it's just not the easy option. I still think that Nige can turn it around.

This! Most of them desever what they got, just a shame that many of them took out some third parties whilst driving like utter bellends.

Why was everything black & white in the olden days Tokyo?

wow this thread really reminds me of that classic saintsweb thread of Dibden Purlieu Saints's, let me go back and see if I can dig it out,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hang on...... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?40906-Now-for-Cortese-to-show-he-is-decisive

Milts probably heard how easy you were, it's common knowledge on TSW

I've had an invite, I just felt hurt that I was second choice as I saw you were already hooked up!

Yay, another quality thread brought to you by Milts and his crazy carer direct from his special place.

I'm pretty sure that was applicable before tonight

Could you not have sent him a pm?

Have you been drinking or something tonight?

oh dear, zero shots on target, lame

Resting for more important games?

I don't think I can be mean to him, he sent me a forum friend request so if he thinks we're internet friends and I don't have many internet friends so I'm thinking about accepting (don't want to be too keen so I haven't yet). If I'm mean it could crush him like Stu Francis crushing a grape. I'm a bit dissapointed that Glasgow and Milts (I'm gonna call him Milts now) are already friends though, that's also why I'm not sure, he's getting about a bit already.

I’m sure you’ll get one eventually, I’ve had some this afternoon. You just have to be patient, they are like the Nicola Cortese dinners, limited edition to make them more special and stuff.
