Conspiracy theories? her's one for you and I can debunk it at a later date, but for now i'll let you stew over it. Rumour: Al-Quaida used the MS word font 'Wingdings' to communicate in code with each other about the targeted flights. Evidence: Open MS Word Type in the flight code "Q33NY" Highlight the text Change font to 'Wingdings' !!!! Scary **** eh?

This is a variation on a common 'mind reading' feat, whereby the voluteer answers a series of questions ie. Favourte colour, first car etc. Writing the first answer on the secong piece of paper etc etc, easy to do, but a bit more hard to get your head around (for non magic people). I love knowing how magic is done. BTW I bet tonights trick is much more elaborate than your revealation, I will watch with interest whilst running a bath.

at the risk of being thrown out of the magic circle, here's one to look out for. If you break the tip off of a pencil and stick it under your thumbnail, you can clandestinely write someone's response to a question on a piece of paper. As Selwyn would have said, "Magic" Does that make sense?

England youth, whilst playing for saints?

At Euro '88 in Germany me and a friend followed England at each of the three consecutive, embarassing defeats. Before during and after each game there was much trouble. The German fans were everywhere (no **** Sherlock), and the Dutch seemed to pop up unexpectedly for the odd disagreement when you least expected it. I think it was at Dusseldorf station actually, where me and my mate were outside the station taking in the atmosphere and admiring the architecture, when all of a sudden police arrived at speed and surrounded the England fans. From one end of the strasse came hundreds of Dutch hoolies, and from the other end came the Germans. If it hadn'y been for my half German mate shouting in German for a shopkeeper to let us take refuge in his shop, I think we would have 'got it' that day. Anyway, the first game was against the Oirish, and on returning to our hotel to get ready for a night in he bierkellers after they had beaten us, we discovered that it was full of Shamrock toting fans celebrating. They wouldn't let us out, insisting that we had a few beers on them. Result. As the evening wore on, I got friendly with one of the young ladies in the group and in the drunken confusion she forgot which room she was supposed to sleeping in (silly girl). '-) I'll spare you the details, but suffice to say, I felt obliged to cheer them on into the next match, as a way of thanking her. So for purely personal reasons Oirland is my 3rd team once England is knocked out.

What if you are not a member of the AA? Smacks of favouritism if you ask me. Incidentally I recommend (as per Moneysavingexpert.com) joining AutoAid: http://www.autoaidbreakdown.co.uk/

/\ Who is your 'second' team once England get knocked out ofa tournament? Mine is Poland (on my Grandad's side).

Bloody Hell ESB, I wish I had not read that post. I worked in airport security at the time of the twin towers incident, everything changed that day. Strangely, I was off on that Tuesday as I was collecting my Grand daughter from the Princess Anne hospital (it's her birthday today). As Mrs h was helping our daughter to pack her bits, I sat in the guests lounge with my mouth open watching the reports as they came in. I was on my own and quite lterally could not move. After what seemed like ages, I stood up and walking like a zombie, went and told the girls that they had to come and see what was happening. As we went I actually remember feeling faint and having to sit down. I don't remember much else about the day, and you know how sometimes you arrive somewhere after a drive and don't remember the journey? Well, I can't rmemember bringing my first Granddaughter home. I have never watched any footage since, never read any reports and I just got on with my life. actually, this thread is the first time I have ever read about the conspiracy theories. 7 years on (April 2008), I went to New York with my sister to visit my Nephew who lives in New Jersey. Whilst planning the trip, discussing our itineray, WTC was suggested. I was adamant that I really did not want to go there, I really didn't think it healthy to stand and look at a graveyard (sorry to put it like that). Ironically (I expect to be corrected on my mis-use of the word), my sister didn't want to go to the Dakota Building (top of my list) so I nearly didn't get to say goodbye to one of my all time heroes. With Phil as our guide we boarded the train from NJ to NY, a couple of stops along and out we jump, **** me, we were at the World Trade Centre!!!!! I can't put it into words, but I had the exact same feeling as I had had 7 years earlier and felt very faint, we were at the WTC station. It was not qute the exact location, but as we walked through, we could see the construction site that I so wanted to avoid visiting. We left the station and were drawn to the little church (St Paul's) across the road. A very surreal experience I can assure you. Nealrly finished, I promise. A couple of days later and making an early start, Mrs h and I went out for the day on our own (Sunday I think), previous route, PATH train from Exchange Place to WTC, I was prepered for it this time, or so I thought. Lo and behold as we are walking I notice that we are taking a diversion! We were walking right through part of the brand new station concourse, I was walking through the graveyard that I so wanted to avoid even looking at prior to our visit. It felt a stough I had been drawn there, very spooky and the weird thing is that I noticed something tha I had never noticed before, and that was the smell of fresh concrete, I can smell it now as I write this, I really can. I honestly and ashamedly thought that it would spoil our trip, but it actually made it qute special, that and sitting in Strawberry fields and singing 'Yesterday' to myself. I do hope you are wrong ESB, I really do. I can't begin to imagine what the aftermath would be. Ends

Sorry CEC but I disagree, maybe you don't appreciate it, as you are at the other end, but you can sense the nervousness in the northam when we are under attack in the second half, and I am confident that the players sense it too, at least some do imho. It is palpable at times, especially in the closing minutes, it's as if our players freeze on occasion. Hopefully someone at the club reads this thread and at least they try it for 4 or 5 games, then compare the results. It will look better on TV too, much better than the empty seats of the chapel.

Sorry for being thick but, COLSLAW?

The first one at SMS was about 30 seconds last weekend, and could I find a bookie to take my 50p, no I could not.

I'd like as many home nations as poss to qualify, then Sepp Blabber and Michelle Plutoni and their mates can campaign for us to play under one united flag, The United Kingdom Fotball Association. Would have been real world beaters at times imho, and funny as to hear them squinnying when no Taffs, Oirish or Scotch get picked every now and then. The support would be brilliant too, no trouble whatsoever. Anyway, why doesn't someone start a new thread "Who would you pick for your squad if you were manager of The UK football team? I can't be ar......

I thought it was a given on here that one had to agree that Southampton are the greatest football team !?!? Sorry my mistake. Anyway, at least we haven't hada hit record to that effect eh. Nay werries filla.

Stranger to small boy - "Will you come in my car if I buy you a pair of footie boots"? Boy to stranger "If you buy me the full kit...." can't rememver the last bit, sorry.

But Saints ARE the greatest football team. What part of that do you not understand ds?

One of my all time favourite World Cup squad records (vinyl) was the Allie McCleod one. We're on the march with Allie's Army We're going to the Argentine And we'll really shake 'em up When we win the World Cup ..... I canee remember what comes next....oh , yeah...LOLOLOLOL

Stupid you say? We aren't the ones who are going to have to shout out 'Gusset' in next time we take our dogs for a walk. Anyway, I wan't to change my 'spade' for a (passive) gay man, we've all thought about it anyway, and if it's not my cup of tea I'll just make a mask from the photo of Mrs hamster and get him to wear that. The cowboy hat will be dual purpose aswell, win-win.

No, you have just got bigger, like the rest of us nick. :smt055

Nothing to lose by double checking that you've got the best deal Townhill, if you've got five minutes I would recomend using the tips on this site: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/compare-cheap-car-insurance I have been with a company called SwiftCover for the last couple of years and they save on overjeads by being internet only service, althogu they have telephone advice and support too. You print your docs direct from your account. A good tip that you'll find on there too is that if for example you are a teacher, it may be cheaper to put down on your application that you are a Social Worker currently paying £1200, you can save £85 by putting down your occupatiuon as Welfare Officer. And that is all above board and legal, Try it nipper: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/car-insurance-job-picker/#sectors

Cheers people, Dad ran Malawarebytes last night, so hopefully it got found. Well worth the £5 subscription.

People, take it from someone who knows. And Nickh will back me up on this. It is better to attack facing the Northam End. Evidence??? Check the forum match on youtube, it is **** easy to score at that end, even if you some do need the help of a dodgy ref who can't see an elbow in the face, but can see an imaginary hand-ball. Subject closed, unless one of the mods wakes up and wants to start a poll.
