Hi all you cricket fans. On behalf of my workplace I have been asked to offer 4 FREE tickets to the Rose Bowl. They are to be used this season for any LVCC, FPTS (excluding semis and final, or a Pro40 match. I am aware that there are only a couple of fixtures remaining, one being this weekend so have called the ticket office to confirm that the letter can be exchanged at the the ticket office IN PERSON.They CAN NOT be exchanged on the day of the match. Fixtures are available at http://www.rosebowlplc.com You will need to collect the letter from me at home in South Stoneham, this evening or at my workplace in Chandlers Ford TODAY (before 5PM). I'll take definite confirmed requests by reply to this post, but would raher not give my contact details other than by PM. hamster

Is the K and A as lovely as it sounds? One of my dreams is to spend some time on it, a lot of time.

I used to have one of these in my rear window, not spoecifically for pompey fans, but highly chldish and wish I still had him. Mr Bunz:

I remember a story about an Oirish captain on his first approach to heathrow, amazed at how short the runway was, then his first engineer comments at how bloody wide it is. Soem of my best friends are Irish, so I can't be racist, can I?

Shame you can't stretch to £310k, I know a fantastic investment property, detached, 4/5 beds, O/R parking for 2 cars, 130 foot garden, workshop, summer house, shed, kids 2 storey playhouse, 3 recps, study, utility room 2 baths. near to motorway, airport and rail, v good sec school. needs some work, but nothing beyond keen DIY. Shame really, but will quite likely come to market proper middle of 2010. Oh, and it's suburban location.

Died aged 57 at home on his farm with his wife at his side. I liked the chap, made some good films, and came over as a thoroughly decent bloke. He has lost his battle (apologies for using the cliche) with cancer. Anyone who has been touched by or lost someone close to cancer will empathise with how tough this last 18 months must have been for him, his family and their friends. Apparently, he amazed doctors, living more than a year longer than he was expected to. In 1991 he was voted 'The Sexiest Man in the World'. Mrs hamster will agree with this award and will be moved by this sad news when I tell her in the morning. I fully expect to uncork a nice bottle of chianti, rasie a glass to him and watch Dirty Dancing and Ghost tomorrow evening, it will be quite intimate. As ever I will secretly enjoy both films. God bless you Patrick, sleep in peace

I think we already have a 'charity' match, isn't it around rememberance day? Someone will know more.

They can play on the swings though, right?

My nephew didin't know he was diabetic until he went 'mental' (his words not mine) at a christening party, it was in hindsight quite amusing as it was immediately after some speeches. At the time though he it was like trying to catch a greased pig. On the plus side their were hordes of kids doing skids in their socks across the dancefloor at the time, getting on every one's nerves apart from their parents, they soon sat down. If this happens to you, make sure that you have told someone to put it on youtube, obviously after treating you.

Statins, for a seperate reason I take a 'statin', only when on a meds course last week I was told that hey MUST be taken at night, my GP never mentioned that bit. I checked with a pharmacutical (sp) technician friend at the weekend and it is correct, as your body produces cholesterol at night, so it's a bit like bolting the door afer the horse has bolted in a way if you tak e them in the morning. One thing with any new ;meds' that you end up taking, please take them properly, dand don't assume that your GP is always right. My advice fwiw, is once you've got all your scripts, make an appointmenbt with the dispensing chemist for a FREE medicines review, he/she will tell you when and how to take them all. So many people just line them up and chuck them down their neck's, and NEVER EVER take meds with abhot drink.

Who said, 'I like my toast done on one side'? My Mum and me don't count, and no we are not dyslixac

Rule 1 surely, with this being a virtual doctors surgery.

Correct btf: http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/895.aspx?CategoryID=68&SubCategoryID=157 She thought it was only 'type 1', which people (normally) get at a younger age and you would then be classed as 'insulin dependent' she thinks. There's also a type that only pregnant women get called 'gestational diabetes'. interlude - **** me! I never realised that I'd married such a clever woman. What a bonus, I only married her because she *** *** *** ****. It's always difficult to make a lifestyle change, even when you know that you have to. Bets way in my experience, is to sit down and have a serious chat with yourself, think it through and make a conscious decision to make that change. Don't be too impulsive about this JLT, and try not to resent the diabetes, it is part of who you are, and part of who you will be now. Think of yourself as special, because at the end of the day we all are. btf, clinical trials!!!! You be careful, if not for you, if not for Mr btf, do it for me. x

If you ask this in a couple of years he answer will be Pompey apparently, to fit them all in. It's gonna be like Wimbledon down there.
-
I will ask my work mate, but he ref's hants league sometimes, so only an outside chance. he ios also a Pompey fan, so won't take ANY abuse, the skate bastard. Can I tell him it's twenty quid? And Mike, where is the drinking session being held? Don't the Leigh Hotel have entertauinmant Sunday nights? EDIT, just called the Leigh, no entertainment on Sundays.
-
Yeah, should have made that clearer, as to some (most) on here bs means the stuff that they type ie. bull****. Not me of course. Hi esb, hope all's well?

/\ Impoortant to keep your bs levels constant, ie don't throw gallons of coke etc down your neck, creating a real sugar high. Fruit is a common problem food for this type of diabetes, althoguh you should eat 'plenty' fruit, it can contain an asonishing amount of fructose (sp) ie sugar. Not wanting to scare monger, but I do also know someone who's brother sadly passed away after drinking copious amounts of milk (of all things), he was really thirsty and hadn't considered the amount of lactose (another type of sugar). He did drink quite a lot by all accounts a few pints. As a tightwad, my personal golden rule is DO NOT buy special 'diabetic' foods, they are a rip off. You can manage your diet quite well enough with the help of a 'diet sheet' from you GP's practice nurse, or just print one off from this place, you'll need adobe I think: http://www.diabetes-carmarthenshire.com/professional/Forms/healthyeating.pdf

Watch your diet, lots of roughage, cut down on sweet things (including alcohol), not too much fruit, and most of all, take care of yourself. Mrs h works with eyes, she says get them checked for retinal problems and glaucoma.

The sort of story that can really put a lump in your throat, his younger brother also has leukaemia, so tough times ahead. A trying time for any family. God bless Michael.

Ask anyone at Southampton (eastleigh) airport how they managed to get their shift pay doubled, bringing it into line with the other BAA airports who had been getting the better rate for years. BAA conveniently 'forgot' to inform SIAL staff about the better rate when they bought the airport. Those bastards treated them like idiots, I wish we'd got it backdated now, but hey ho.. This post is factual.

Can you put #apps'on them? And would my TomTom sat nav work on it it's the 'one from my broken htc touch hone that connected via bluetooth to the little box thingy? I'm curious now.
