Went to my first game a2 years ago (Hants v Spotfires) and was approacghed by a group of lads asking to store their bber (about 3 crates) in mt boot until after the game as they'd been stopped taking it in. They were necking it like it had gone out of fashion, good lads). Told them I'd be leaving early so declined politley...then spotted the moon and star tatto on one blokes leg and felt good. They were on some stag do and once inside the ground proceded to pint by pint spoil the day for a lot of people, then the pompey songs started and we moved to the other side of the ground. btw I had a couple (at their prices that hurt enough to prevent the full effect anyway) and mrs h had her smuggled in chateua smurf du fartrade rioja so all ended well apart from Kent playing badly. my advice, if taking wine take it in a carton, i know it's not the best quality stuff but is inconspicuous in a large coolbag, and for beer I'd chuck a couple of bottles in the mr's handbag and another couile in a carrier wrapped in your packamac. worst case scenario you either drink them pre-entry, bin them or run back to the car. emjoy the match it's not as boring as one might think imho.

Assuming that that /\ is an attempt at german numbers? Sieben (sp)?

not too fussed but won't be one little bit surprised if hey unveil a couple or three new faces when they get back from switzerland. still got more time to add than we did last year iirc?

/\ don't bovines carry this too? and no, i wouldn't even attempt to move a cow's carcarse if it was in my way. the welsh were a bit miffed the other day weren't they due to our london city types deciding what they can and can't do in their own country ala culling badgers.

He's signed for the canaries now anyway. Move on.

Walked past 'Street Level' today. Well what used to be... Great pre-disco meet point in it's day.

Nope S-S, I work for the government. I know some random **** about vinegar because mrs hamster once bought me a book about it and I read it out of courtesy. Did you know that the original Worcester Sause was made by a local family butchers in the midlands who had a debt with his vinegar supplier that was overdue? The vinegar supplier had sampled his 'sauce' and liked it. He accepted sole rights to the recipe in part payment. The rest as they say, is history. My absolute favourite (and most useful) vinegar fact is that is a cure for both constipation AND dhiarrhoea (sp). Seriously, try it, it really is a miracle cure and really speedy too.

****NEWSFLASH**** Man discovers fire. although tbh HCDAJFU imho

the gills site had a press release all prepped apparently for mid-day today. something may have interupted proceedings perhaps. just speculation but i heard a rumour that he doesn't want to go to norwich due to their being not much to do in the area. scally wants the cash for him and this would be the best time to come in with a slightky higher offer than them and snatch him. come on nicola, get on it.

Ah Manchester eh.. I'm into nb books recently and almost without exception they all make sure to leave plenty time to clear the city centre when up that way. The excepton was Tom Rolt's famous book 'Narrowboat' about his travels on 'Cressy'. It was this book that began the movement that we now know as the Inland Waterways association (IWA). Their first festival was held in Market Harborough. He wrote the book and travelled in the early war years and made many comments and observations on the effects of industrialisation of our land. Moany old stuck in the mud. Re the Old Trafford thing, if you watch the programmes on sky like Locks and Quays etc you may come across one about a bunch of Mancs who travel to home games from the city centre by restaurant narrowboat, they reckon it's quicker and certainly the most relaxed mode of transport for sucha journey. maybe we could have a SWF lads excursion next time we play them? No birds though unless they're up for a bit of 'how's yer father' of course. Hope all's well btw landford? We've got 1st refusal on a week in September but mrs hamster has invited her parents, meaning even more drinking for me to numb the pain and torture. Should be interesting if nothing else. mrs btf, i have missed you recently, how's the knee (not yours obviously, yours are just fine imho)?

My bicarb/vinegar one is both safe and educational, make learning fun I say.

scrape the brown (or red) stuff from a match into a little pile and wrap it in silver foil. Apply heat and it will produce a mini fireworks display. This one is safe if not a little messy. Get an old film canister and put a spoonfull of bicarb in it. Add a splosh of vinegar and quickly replace the lid, place on ground and walk away briskly. POP! bicarb/vinegar mix eruption.

good luck with resolving this fella. i ahd a situation a couple of years back after parking in the 'wrong place' when visiting a friend in hospital who'd had a CVA. Foolishly I entered into a debate with the collecting agent and over the phone was told that the 'fine' was frozen pending appeal, final bill was just shy of £300 and obviosuly no-one could recall our telephone agreement meaning that I was up **** creek basically. I paid up reluctantly when proper court summons appeared on my doormat taking the amount over the £300 mark and mrs h insisted that I give up and learn my lesson. iirc, little while back there was a clamper had the crap kicked out of him in Romsey. He'd clamped a car shortly prior to this incident and the car's owner had nothing whatsoever to do with the beating. Don't advocate violence personally but I can see how one's stress levels might be pushed over the edge in some instances.

Where might someone with no knowledge of the development and design of such things go to sell an idea for an iphone app please? I have an idea which I personally would make use of and think it could be developed from something already out there , just needs a bit of tweaking imo. Is it costly?

just bben told that Jacko has set off to join the Norwich squad on their pre-season tour of Germany. quite disappointed tbh as I have previously witnessed first hand how he can come out of nowhere to grab a goal. Best was a final minute winner when they beat Shrewsbury in the L2 play off which turned out to that bloke Granyt Holt's last appearance for the Shrews, the Gills back line didn't let Holt get a sniff and Jacko nicked his goal from a corner in a frantic melle of players..as a short arse his leap was pretty impressive and meant I could get home for last orders. In other (rumour) news our old boy Chris Perry has met with Hess to discuss a contract at Priestfield, would be a great servant in L2 imho but maybe CP could still do a job at a higher level?

".......... but Jackson looks a near-cert to depart Priestfield without playing another League game. Conspicuous by his absence from both Gills lineups this weekend, it would appear the club are protecting him from the possibility of a deal-breaking pre-season injury. Southampton are the latest club to be linked with Gillingham’s top scorer, with suggestions of a bid in the region of £750,000 being made. Millwall have had a long-standing interest in the player, as have Queens Park Rangers, but that was three managers ago. Norwich have reportedly had a £500,000 bid turned down, while Plymouth have also been weighing up a bid for the player. With the season fast approaching it would seem the best option for Hessenthaler would be to encourage the Jackson sale to go through quickly in order for him to bring in the player or players he wants and needs to replace him....." ;-)

****, he was just round my house 10 minutes ago, just realised who it was. Knocked the door and asked if I could sparea cup of tea. Decent chap that i is I invited him in and we sat on the decking chatting about nought in particular, he said that he hadn't eaten for days so I went to see what mrs h had in the cupboards that we could spare. He wss in luck, she'd just stocked up the cake cupboard, I shouted from the kitchen "Hey mate, would you like a jam doughnut or a meringue"? "naye man, your reet, I would" he said taking the doughnut ?????????? there's a joke in there somewhere, can you spot it? I have given you a clue. Only ate half of it, as he said he had to shoot off down the High Street.

You need to ask? and who is 'him'?
