  1. Johnny Hallyday
  2. Dead Elvis?
  3. I love Elvis, but didn't at the time. Mum loves him but as a kid hearing him incessantly on the radiogram along with Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Roger Miller and with Dad's violin and trumpet playing in the next room as a kid turned me against the lot of them. I now know better of course and appreciate the lot. As a 'young punk' you will no doubt be familiar with the little ditty: Elvis is dead Long forgotten Now 'The King' is Johnny Rotten.
  4. Hope, it's the big hill to your left as you approach Lyndhurst from Southampton, turn left at the Lyndhurts Park Hotel. Anyway he changed his mind in the end and went to Farley Mount, you must know Farley Mount? It's not the dog crap you have to dodge up there it's the doggers and discarded condoms.
  5. nice one StL, I was told at school that I would never be a writer so I became a fighter (true story), and have a proud record of only 1 defeat in my whole fighting career. And fwiw I have always found the sword to be far mightier than the humble pen. Anyway, I was wondering what is the yuckiest thing people have ever eaten? I have eaten liver, kidney, haggis and probably the worst of all sausages. When I worked for a meat processing firm I was told that butchers don't eat other butchers sausages as they do not know what is in them and they don't eat their own sausages because they do know what is in them. Anyone had tripe?

    Spiral Asylum

    I got my tips from the forum when I was up there for a weekend and couldn't find much info on the net. I see that you've been a member on here for a while so you may already know that we have in our midst a handful of musicians, some apparently quite good. Only my opinion of course, but I think the local scene in Southampton is pretty impressive but further afield (ie Oxford, Salisbury, Reading etc) I'd post a query on here. Good luck with it all and if you ever need a roady for your tour of Japan count me in as long as I don;t have to eat dolphin, whale yes, dolphun no way jose. :wink:
  8. Either way, what does it mean? :confused:
  9. At mi££ion I heard a short while ago we were interested, but the Gills want a lot more than that. Personally I would pay double that and he'd be one to still be with us in the Prem (whenever that might be. I fear that even if we could go that high he'd be lured by a massive salary elsewhere. I'm not itk, but I have a friend who reckons that he is and the last he told me was that Saints never even got back to them when they were quoted 1.5 m.
  10. I will, nowever i'm on call tomorrow so hopefully I'll get to see some action. I amy of course finish fitting the new kitchen, but keepo that to yourself please.
  11. THat is why I said I only ever heard it in EASTLEIGH. Can you no read?! :smt116 Only joshing mush. xx's

  14. A phrase that I have only ever heard in Eastleigh is to 'spear the bearded clown'. I have not a clue what it means though, but sounds quite cruel, worse than spearing dolphins imho and no I am not being funny, clowns are defencless people just trying to earn a crust(y).
  15. I have just read an e-mail from the Head of Adull Services, praising the resolve and resourcefulness of some of the staff, some quite heartening accounts of near heroic acts. And not just by staff, in some cases partners have gone quite literally the extra mile. I wish i could reproduce it as it makes not one mention of Health and Safety, and PC'ness, just a big thank you to those involved. But I am not allowed to, trust me, their are some pretty decent folks out there. I would urge anyone who knows of a vulnerable person who may be stranded to try to contact them and if need be get in tough with Social Services if they need any support. It could be as simple as a loay of bread and a couple of pints of milk, but it could also be that they are running low on their insulin or other medicine.

    Knees

    Sorry to have to break it to you, but there is no known cure. You could try dyeing it, but the roots will eventuelly show through. You could shave it off, but agian it will eventually grow back. Not sure what else I can suggest, try not to be too down about it though, I know some people who have been ginger all of their lives and they seem to live relatively normal lives. Let us know how you get on though. PS Do you have a care manager yet? I could refer you to one.
  17. Rule 1 please, i love snow and have been housebound by DIY today. My mate however had the cheek to come and borrow my 2 tobogans and went to Bolton's Bench.
  18. And there we have it. What I Think and what you think are of no real consequence, unless of course you are going to do something about it. I have in my time tried to 'do something about it' regarding certain causes, all to no avail I am sorry to say. I am actually of the opinion that with certain types of persona 'doing something about (something)' is a phase that they go through. I went through a phase of it and I firmly believe that I am wiser for it. I applaud anyone 'doing soemthing about it', but another thing that I have learnt is that when you eventually realise what you are up against it can be extremely de-moralising (pun not intended). It does not mean that peopel do not care about dolphins, it may just mean that people care more about something else. After reading through this thread today i almost didn't have any roast pork, seriously. then I saw a little bit of crackling lying all by itself and before I knew it, it was in my mouth and I was piling more onto my plate. That is meat from a dirty filthy pig that some cultures would find unpalatable, and quite disgusting, I think it may be Jewish people but i'm not that well informed, suffice to say, I also would not want my foreskin chopped off just because my Mum and dad thought it would help me get into heaven, that is what I think.
  19. ho ho ho, I'm going by his avatar ESB, and thinking of organising a works outing, can't decide between Pompey and Poole?
  20. PES, do you race greyhounds at Pompey?
  21. Actually Johnny, my best mate is a very good engineer and is looking for work, I can tell that you are actually a decent employer (and bloke) so let me know if you have anything going please? he's BR trained and worked for about 12 years in the Aero industry to very exacting standards. I would even consider negotiatingmy 'finders fee' in this case.
  22. If you worked for Johnny you'd be out of a job fro such a lame excuse. No wonder the country is in such a state!
  23. mo.gimpel@saintsfc.co.uk or parhaps maurice.gimpel@saintsfc.co.uk ??
  24. I'm not sure that it wouldn't be a good opportunity to re-negotiate that deal anyway. I bet that many (as on here) had never heard of 'jobsite' before Pompey signed up with them. Now their name is almost a household name in the football supporting households of the country. The exec who signed the deal must be rubbing his hands with glee imo.
  25. Wah!
