Shocking (but not surprising sadly), the more of these stories we keep reading the more determined we should be to take these people back under societies wing. And some people have the gall to mock 'socialism' as an outdated ethos, not funny any more I'm afraid. These are OUR parents and grandparents ffs!

Shame on me, yesterday I drive past some outsourced chaps working in Sholing, impulsively I called them 'scabs'. If, as I have been informed, it is true that these gangs are from our Polish community then I would be shocked at their lack of respect for their (and mine) great, granparents and parents who lived through 'solidarity' (lol) and Lech Walensa's achievements. They'd be turning in their graves. But it may not be true so I shall reserve judgement. Scabs either way.

The Final ****down

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, but I love Jack Cork More than a leftback More than a leftback to mee yeah Haven't worked a tune for it yet though.

Just drove home through Chilworth and the paths are littered with overturned bins, this is simply not on....Chilworth! One problem with many who deny our class system is that they don't like to the implication that in said system they are mere working class minions. Sometimes in life we have to stand together. Just these few local servants have demonstrated how we can make our voices heard. I'm afraid that those who think its just about the money are very much mistaken, its about heart and soul....and backbone. Sure, people may say they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces, but at least they will in the future be able to look any man in the eye proudly. It's NOT the money its the principle you can't buy principles. And why do some seem obsessed with the idea that everyone else has it easier than they do and/or be grateful? Madness.

If anyone actually has a dishwasher going begging we'd be interested. Ours packed up last month. Full width please.

Do you want me to print some song sheets out and distribute them at our first away match? It'd be no trouble, really. All I ask is 5hat I get 100% of all royalties and my boatrace on the CD case. And you all have to wear 'we love hamster' T-Shirts

Okay, I'm gonna have put a stop to this;, sorry but you're all making fools of yourselves. As a former (award winning) Saints lyricist and singer, I will show you how to do this properly. First you need to come up with some relevant lines to the actual player in question THEN you find a tune that they fit with. Finally, a chant must be exactly that...a chant. This one is to be sung like one of those yank marine corps marching chants; first group sing a line then the second group repeat it. Luke we do with Oh when the saints - oh when the saints. Go marching in - go marching in. You get the idea yeah? Try it, I probably make this seem easy, but then again I do come from a musical background. Jack Cork's back where he belongs Jack Cork's back where he belongs That's why we all sing this song That's why we all sing this song If you get too near our goal If you get too near our goal Jack's gonna tear you a new hole Jack's gonna tear you a new hole He's the reason we'll succeed He's the reason we'll succeed Getting back to the Premier League Getting back to the Premier League Jack Cork Jack Cork Jack Cork Jack Cork JACK CORK JACK CORK!

Sarajevo been there a while now, great telephone voice.

Liked David, a can do attitude and helped me no end, Lee Hetherington is good for straight answers ime too.

/\ Same happened to my mate only he lost both! He had his replaced with stainless steel ball bearings, poor sod. You can hear him coming now.

Told to me by a hippy (important detail) boater last night. What should you do if you see a spaceman? Moor your boat n it, man.

It's good to see people getting excited. Regarding Kevin Keegan, where would you say he was in most football fans wish lists at the time? Iirc, he was THE best player in Europe and I can't think off the top of my head who was better on the World stage at the time? Who would be todays equiv? Is put him up there with Messi but with a better hair do and a better singer.

I'm more excited for the bright future in store for our younger fans tbh. You really don't know what a real BIG signing is yet, no disrespect but try to keep some perspective please.

All new signatures interest me for one reason or another. In recent times I sense a change in the balance whereby any hopefuls must convince us that they really really want to wear the stripes for the right reasons, I Luke. Regarding getting excited, I'm afraid to say that once you've lived through a signing making the News at Ten headlines, they all pale. Those who don't remember that day will never understand what us oldies experienced that day. The Potter's Heron is as much a part of our history as the traing ground. Coincidentally, I saw a Heron today, my favourite bird.

Never heard of him, would love his benefits on a shirt though.

Don't get me wrong, I do work my ******** off most days, you taxpayers certainly get your pound of flesh. I also get to drive a big bus which was a childhood dream. I won't disclose the less glamorous side of my work though, not in polite company. Worst aspect is meetings and file keeping and dealing with directors, we have a mutual disrespect for each other, suits me just fine. My dream job would be.disability co-ordinator for Saints. Probably would hate it for the reasons above though, o like to be left to get on with stuff.

It's not about money. Fact. Next week I'm helping to take a group on a canal trip. Work, work, work, its all I seem to do.

You have more than 1? Weirdo.

Support people with disabilities to do stuff, usually stuff I enjoy doing myself. On the past few months I have supported people to go to pubs, use computers, go to re-enactments, visit art galleries, shoot rifles, go shopping, play golf, watch Saints (home and away), do karaoke, play indoor cricket and loads more that have slipped my mind atm. And you lot have the audacity to want to duck with my pension! I actually love almost every aspect of my current job and WOULD do it for free if I could afford to. My other job is a test pilot for Airfix WWII fighters, v boring.

Out here on the canal they have a great system, operated on behalf I'd the taxman by an honesty system. Fuel for propulsion is taxable whereas fuel for heating and generating electricity is exempt. People who live aboard would generally declare somewhere between a 20/80 or 10/90 % split. As holdaymaker might be cruising constantly hence they are more likely to declare a much higher propulsion ratio. Many are unaware of the system and will pay full whack as per a normal petrol station, the weirdos. Obviously, I only covered a few miles, negligible in propulsion terms. I will probably round it up to 5% just to do my bit for the economy. Cash is king, I keep saying this and it is truer today than it ever has been.

And Phil, not watched tv or listened to the radio al week but did manage to glance over someone's shoulder for a sneaky update yesterday. I noted that the most newsworthy world event currently is that Cheryl Cole has been bouncing up and down on Ashley again, I love a bit of old fashioned romance I do.. Also Phil, for your information, it is the law of the canal that you pies in a bottle and shut in a pub, no newsprint on my arse cheeks fella.

Woken by family of swans, very tame, almost eating out of my hand. Serene creatures but deceptively so, family of ducks waddled past and mummy swan attacked one of the babies! Would have intervened but went for my camera instead, just missed it, I'll be ready next time. Isn't nature wonderful. The gig last night turned into an impromptu folk music jam. Was ace. One bloke was going on and on about animal cruelty in other countries, had a big issue with Danish Bacon for some reason, not sure if it aimed at me and Mrs h munching through our buffalo burgers, cheese mushrooms and BACON oozing grease down our chins. Just made me wish I'd ordered the half-pounder if truth be told. Actually he looked like he needed a decent meal inside him, the weirdo. Mr Dubai Phil, congrats on the upcoming wedding mate. Cup of tea then back to bed, for some sleep. Hopefully pair up with some tourists through the next lock flight, tourists love doing locks, weirdos.

My canal knowledge far exceeds my fading carnal knowledge now, alzheimers must be kickin' in. Good night losers.

Coitous interuptus courtesy of two pugs, cheers reload. It'll keep. It now takes me all night to do once what we once used to do all night! Been shoulder deep in weils disease ridden canal water thanks to Mrs h ramming the boat into a lock full whilst chatting to a bystander, ducking idiot. That's another one she 'owes me', she is so gonna get it when she's least expecting it. Lucky girl. Dog, funny you should mention Zebrugge, that was my first wife's nickname cos so many men went down on her. Tomorrow, back to Weedon for a rummage in the antique shops for a Pembroke table. Perchance there a couple of guitarists playing The Bridge at Napton, where we is, who are walking the canals for some wildlife charity, very paolo Nutini, very nice. Later losers.
