Rule 1?

That get's my vote. Maybe not quite so many ho's but it is perfect on so many levels not leats that it has aspecial menaing to us SWF friends of Corpy.

and offer a *ahem* 'cash' deal perhaps? Oh no they tried that route, forget I said that.

That's abloody long way from Westhampnett though isnt it? Anyway, that is a great analogy JB. What you are basically saying is if you are going to enter the battlefield you are destined to die young. Who do you see as your enemies anyway Johnny? I can assure you it is not me and my public colleagues, well not all of them.

Jilly don't forget to claim for the carpet (Wilton) and wallpaper (Conran) while you are at it. That is after all what insurance is for, it's a bit like betting on an accumulator when you get a water leak. Treat yourselves to something nice, you could probably do Disney if you handle this one correctly.

/\ Thing is Johnny one has to decide on which board one is playing imho. In the global game we are most definitely pawns, maybe we might come across the odd knight who moves awkwardly through the battlefiled but who by the same token can't get near to the king without going it alone and getting taken, ultimatle y the knight is there to put himself in the firing line. we have the bishops (replace with any religious leaders) who can get in and out of the danger zone fairly quickly, they come out and start fights but tend to retreat pretty sharpish when the going gets tough. we have the rooks (property types or perhapos one could see them as the Masons) who stand tall and are no nonsense, don;t **** with me types, I'd say the rooks are the land owners. If mere mortals such a sus get within one step of the real power holders we get killed, end of. If you play your game on a local level you can play as any piece you wish, you can be the king of your own little kingdom and you can build your own little castle, you can even if you so desire be a raving queen. I'm most definitely a (public sevtor) pawn, but I will say this, I may move slowly, but I move very carefully nowadays and hopefully will stay in the game a while longer.

I watched it again when I got home last night and was surprised at how the MK Franchise fans sounded much louder than they actually were in comparisi=on to us saints, the mics must have been pointed away from us. It was a really good atmosphere created by us. In particular I enjoyed hearing 'Woolston Ferry' and 'Strawberry Grower', really really hope we get to sing them at Wembley again but when I joined in a few around me appeared to not know them with vacant stares.

I refuse to believe that you actually believe that JB. You know full well that we are all just pawns in a global game of chess.

in reply to Johhny(not necesarily) Bognor. Whilst we focus is on renewable energies and more efficient fuel cells, do you not think that traditional carbon fuels will soar in value and cost. I don't mean the cost of finding and turning it into energy that we use in ou factories, homes and transport, I mean the cost to us the consumer, I also consider governments to be consumers. When the time comes whether it be actual or just scare stories that we are fed and the reserves are really in short supply, I reckon that petrochem companies will really have us over an barrel (pardon the pun). I tend to move between not giving a toss and being hard core cynic, but at the end of the day, if you are thre man with the last oil well or gas field you are King. And the king sets the taxes.

Maybe so, but after re-reading the supposed 'joke' I have another quibble with it. If this couple are only staying 'overnight' in said hotel as was stated, surely they would only require an 'overnight' bag! That is what I would have taken anyway. Maybe it's just me but what is the point in lugging a bloomin great suitcase around when all one would need to take is a change of undies, some basic toiletries and a change of clothes. At a push I may take a hairdryer (just in case) and if it was a romantic occasion possibly a bottle of Rioja. You don;t even need to take a corkscrew nowadays as you can gete even decent wines with screw caps ffs!

What do you good people feel will be the next 'boom' market. I don;t intend geting involved just curious as we have a handful of knowledgeables om here. imho I reckon that ISP's who can deliver ultra fast speeds on the go will lead the way. We have not even scratched the surface of the potential for mobile technology.

I had a gf many moons ago who did a party trick that culminated in her resembling a plasterers radio if that is any help Jilly. I still ahve a picture but it's probably NSFTSW.

Why was the suitcase on the floor? I don't get it, why would anyone leave a suitcase on the floor. Whenever I saty in a hotel I unpack my case and pop it either on top of a ward-robe or under a bed, I would never leave it on the floor where I might trip over it at a later stage. Evenb when I've checked into a hotel after a long journey or really late at night I would at least leave my case on the dressing table or push it under a bed! I know this is a the crap joke thread but i thought that was an ironic title, ergo the jokes are a little bit funny, that one is not even believable. Why would anyone leave a suitcase in the middle of their roomon the floor where someone moght accidentally trip over it.

Is the answer FOUR? What do I win?

Giilingham have just secured the loan of Peterborough United target man Rene Howe until the end of the season. Now then, one could be forgiven for thinking that mark Stimson is bolstering his front line, but maybe not when you realise that The Gills are not very well off right now. Fans are calling for Stimson to go, even the normally supportive local rags are getting on his back. I also can't see them getting a rated CCC striker on the cheap. IMHO Jackson (Simeon) is soon to be saying his training ground goodbyes. I am not for one minute suggesting that he will come to us but as per thread title I DO think that he CDAJFU. One aside I would like to point out is that Stimson has a very good scouting network and knowledge of the non league scene. I wouldn't be surprised if he's been following Howe since his Ketteirng days and may have unearthed another gem. If AP is going to make a move, now is the time. Give me a call Al I have the mobile number of the bloke who wipes the tables in the exec lounge.

What a bunch of brilliant supporters we have. Almost non-stop chanting, a senese of humour and a fine advert for our footbal team. well done one and all. I noted though that the ones who went on the pitch at the end were baing filmed by the police, hope they see it as just over exuberance and go easy on them, after all it was fairly harmless, but i didn;t see those same fans invading the pitch at Millwall! I also saw one steward get a thump from one idiot which imho was totally uncalled for.

No, Greyhound are not providinga 'service' to 'our' club nor it's supporters. They are attemptomhg to muscle in on local companys, emplying local people who in turn spend their wages and profits locally. Boycott these charlatans. Try asking Greyhound to accomodate your wheelshair using mates, ask Greyhound to put a single penny back into the club's coffers. They cancelled their coach to Millwall leaving your fellow Saints fans stranded because they couldn't make enough money for their (overseas) shareholders out of them from the trip. They couldn't give a **** about US unless their is something in it for themselves. Comfy - yes Southampton FC - No way

If ML is there and the result is going well, should we start singing 'We love you Markus, we do. Oh Markus we love you'? Or would that be a bit corny? Maybe save it for the finale.

He's cup-tied anyway I think.

Is ALW in the frame?

Why are they called wisdom teeth? fwiw I had one out about 15 years ago, allegedly I was admitting to all sorts of **** whilst 'under'. The dental nurse even asked me where the shop that i broke into was!

They are 'easy' and that too is a fact youn man, try one, they are good for practising on. That also is a fact.

I reckon that is up for debate Johnny, I read recently that it was somewhere else. it will come back to me at some point and i shall correct you properly, do you like a little bit of 'correction' Johnny, do you?

Romsey is situated on the ancient road that is now known as the A27. The people of Romsey are officially my next door neighbours (but one) as I too live on the A27.

I married the first mrs h in Romsey Abbey. It did not last. What is that tradition you have of 'beating the bounds' all about? Is that not to do with the official boundaries of Romsey? Just discovered that the word 'Romsey' is not recognised on the spellcheck of this PC! Also just see that the word 'spellcheck' is not listed either! Ver strange!!!!
