Of course. I always get them confuggled with the rear end of a Nissan Cherry before they became Nissan. Cue some clo wn telling the Admiral Horatio Nelson Maindealer joke

Do you mean cigarrettes or are you alluding to something else dd? btw didn't Gilbert White invent the potatoe powered pushbike, or was that Sir Walter Stott (Barry's Sister)?

Jeff, do you have any fags/baccy in the house? If so, I wager that you will have one before the morning as you are showing classic signs. Do not feel bad about this my freund nicotine is a nasty drug and is (pardon my french) maldito with your thought process. And never try to give up for someone else, it has to be a 1:1 fight between you and Nicotine. Order THAT book. Order THAT book. Order THAT book.

Never had a fag?

Anyone else noyice the house with painted on windows along the A31? I think it's on the bend near Bentley, on the LH heading NE. Weird.

Didn't everyone? The real question here is who fathered Ethel Austin (the bionic shopkeeper)?

Am I being thick, because I don't get the 'sylvinho' quip? btw I could bring said MIL and she could go in goal for some shooting practice. (Only joshing of course. I love my MIL to bits) As I am on a roll regarding brilliant ideas, how about when a goal is scored both teams have to change goalie (NOT with each other)? Does that make sense?

Sorry to repeat meself but a couple of good sites: http://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=25544 http://www.n2yo.com/ Don't forget to click on a few of the options too.

Just read last weekends thread and wonder what people think about stopping for a 5 minuter breather half way through and changing ends? Might keep people from getting too tired and dehydrated but what do \i know. I can't commit at the moment as I am mother-in-law sitting whilst Mrs hamster does her Chick Flick weekend away in Londinium with Sister and best friend.

my apologies scara, you may have noticed that I also omitted to mention that his brother Al (who trained as a doctor) first discovered that if you spread jam between two slices of bread you have a sandwich. Poor fellow was pipped at the post re patenting his invention by the 12th Earl of sandwich, ironically because he stopped on his way to the patent office for lunch. You can guess what he had for lunch? Yep, a Devonish Pasty! On the subject of the Earls of Sandwich, does anyone know who invented Wellington boots? I was always led to believe it was Mr and Mrs Dolcis, but they weren't even born when the boar war was on, I suspect that think my Uncle was lieing (sp).

CTRL + ALT + UP ARROW hth

I often wondered this too stevo when driving down the A31. Then I got a computer and discovered Google, it is very good source of factual information you should try it. In the meantime: - Gilbert White was a mas murderer who fathered most of the children born in Alton between July 1870 and September 1877, he famously killed 'Sweet Fanny Adams' who was named after a Royal Navy snack of bsicuits that had been left out to go soggy. He lived to be 121 years old and was due to travel on the Titanic, but missed the boat due to a heavy cold which trapped his left leg, he eventually escaped the cold by gnawing off his own leg, an amazing feat when you consider that his upper set of teeth were made of oak, the same wood that Henry V!!! used to build the Mary Rose. I think I have remembered that correctly but may have not.

Are you doing it the 'Easy Way' (Allan carr)? http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/__allen-carr-s-easy-way-to-stop-smoking_W0QQ_frsZ1QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em359 I don't wish to put you off of your current attempt, but you must accept that you are only 'attempting' to quit this time. You need to KNOW that you have quit, there is a world of difference. Look into my eyes, not around my eyes, into my eyes. Have a fag and order the book, DO NOT stop smoking until you have read the last word on the last page, you will know that you will never smoke again, but remember to wait until you have finished reading it although you may be tempted to stop before you get to that point. And take your time to read it properly, if you are like me and need to read a chapter a couple of times before it makes sense then read each chapter a couple of times. You will know I promise you. . Worked for me and you will be surprised at how easy it is once you get to the bottom of why you actually smoke. Promise me one thing too Jeff. Don't turn into one of those "I am better than you" reformed smokers please, they are so bloody annoying. Oh...

Really? I am no expert (maybe that is your point) but i would still do it if I thought the alternayive was that they might die. Incidentally, I wish that I had been carrying an aspirin the day my brother had a heart attack whilst cycling out in the new forest last year.

That would have been one of the first things that i would have changed. Maybe ML hasn't gotten around to reading how disgruntled many were when they were first closed.

Where I work we have a couple of full First Aid trained staff and the rest of us recive 'Emergency Aid' training. It is basically about the ABC Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Covers recovery position which is a life saving technique to learn if someone is not conscious, and really easy to learn and remember. One of the lesser known 'tips' is to always carry a soluble aspirin in your bag/wallet, if you suspect that someone has had or is having a CVA (heart attack) pop it into their mouth and you really could save their life with that one small act. They will teach that it is better that 10 people dial 999 than everyone to assume that someone has already called them, and although you might think it to be nigh on impossible, keep calm. Although, if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation, as soon as you 'take control' you will find that your heart beat slows down and you will deal with it better than you thought you might. Most people do stand and watch, but you can also put them to good use regarding directing traffic, clearing the area or something as simple as fetching a blanket or pillow.

Re the price Stevo, I honestly don't have a clue at this point. I really would prefer for someone to pop around and make me an offer for the lot. Incidentally, I am adding my 'Last Ever Match at The Dell' shirt. It is in used condition and is a small size, hence no good to me with my middle aged spread. And the laptop is going to be a surprise. I haven't a clue about specs and what we really need, but she basically e-mails a lot, surfs the web and plays silly little puzzle adventure games. We may use it for photos but I prefer to keep photos on a seperate drive at the moment. Also, I would like to move all of her girly soppy music onto it so maybe a large HD is a must. It must have wireless, and a camera would be a definite plus. It doesn't need to [play Blu-ray or even DVD's for that matter. I'd be interested to hear people's views on these little 'netbooks' if anyone has used one. Finally, the one in the link Stevo, is just within my budget so I will add it to my list. Cheers.

/\ Actually, I will give half of the money that I get to the buyers chosen charity.

You alright mate. I think that everyone's death is is sad. I feel sad for anyone who has lost a loved one, ever. I think that the reason that these deaths are reported in the way it is, is simply because if they weren't there doing it (being shot at), then who would be. Whatever any one thinks of the lifestyle, I can think of no worse job on this earth than being shot at. Brave men and women and I want to know when one of them dies so that I can say a prayer for their families and loved ones.

I will get straight to the point for once and tell you that I need to raise some funds and pretty quick. I am selling my programme acollection and Ihaven't got the energy to list them all. I want them to go to a forum member, a private collector preferably. I don't mind if you are a trader as long as you are a saints fan. I will try to count them next week after we come back from Spain. Ther are quite a few and some pretty special ones too. Loads of European ones. Most of the '76 Cup run including Bradford away. I'll add some more 'special' ones next week. I would like to keep a handful of really special ones to me personally, like taking my Grandsons to their first math (Bayern bloomin Munich). I won't cherry pick, about 10 in total. As a bonus I have an envelope with some original press photos. I am pretty sure that Ted is in one of them and 3 or 4 of Cloughie at The Dell. A couple more extras as I am seriously needing to have a tidy up. I have my memories and now I would like someone else enjoy them.: A pair of FA Cup Winners cufflinks 'Last Ever Match at The Dell' shirt, the red/white quarters made of cotton. It is in used condition and is a small size. Ideally I would like someone who is willing to come to my house and go through them with me. When I started collecting I was quite specific in what I bought. This one deserves a paragraph of it's own: I think 1968 against Man U. A team including Best, Law, Charlton in a team that were European champions. We stuffed them 1-4, I think Terry Paine got a hat-trick. I am not very good with thebolder palyers names, sorry. Please don't rip me off, I am decent bloke and genuinely need to raise enough money ASAP to buy my wife a new laptop. We have just been told that she has breast cancer. In two weeks she starts chemotherapy. Our current laptop is basically knackered. she will be feeling pretty crap pretty soon after and I want to do everything I can to make the next few months comfortable for her. /\ That is only as a polite request and nothing more I assure you. I just want them sold, preferably to one single person. Please ask questions on the thread as I think it only fair that everyone has the same opportunity to know what I have.

CCryptic 1976, very criptic methinks. :smt039 Are you Fabrice Fernandes. YCDAJFU

I thought you were in Bracknell. Have you moved?

Easy peasy? Say that all again, only this time in English please.

All of it FFS! Why are people trying to translate it? It is pronounced (by Germans by Austrians by Swiss by EVERYONE) "Lee-burr". Stop this now please. You might see Sow-thamp-ton but you pronounce it Sarf-am-tn.
