Have I missed anything?

Oh that was BUMPED into - farking fat little git he is now. No I don't have a story 'coz I kept my mouth shut or I would have been in there with the whole Maggie getting re-elected was all his fault for what he did with the whole Falklands Island Handball Dictatorship thing. Trousers would have insisted I give him a hug & Barry would be wanting an Instagram of the abuse & burning of him

Phew, glad you talked me out of it.... Bumped into Diego Maradona in the Spike Bar at the Golf club last night. Was so close to suggesting him on the HCDAJFU thread. After all if MLT can make a comeback after playing so much golf

#jealous of you Ron

PMSL I have this mental image of factless having his quiet pint ruined by a band of 50 nutjobs descending on the Old Cock Tavern

Not long to go! Medic!

Blake's 7 is going to be "Re-Imagined" by SyFy Channel. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/9980810/Blakes-7-returns-to-TV-screens.html Only one thing will stop it being rubbish. A perfectly casted and black leather dressed Servelan.......

Meanwhile. You been conducting secret Underground Tests Tokes? You seem to have been away from TMS for a few days. Was this you & Bearsy? http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/world/story/quake-63-magnitude-strikes-near-irans-nuclear-city-bushehr-20130409 Look, I think you're taking this Golf Joke issue a bit too far. Bloody thing caused my Cup of Tea to spill yesterday afternoon. 4.0 on the Richter scale though. Think you need to work on your aiming system, taking out the Iranians' Nuke facilities when you were after me is a bit OTT. However all you have done is stiffen our resolve, we shall not falter

OK, so how are you spending our last day on earth today?

Oh Dear JBS. Think you just committed TMS suicide by starting a post with So, you wear an Anorak?

You've been watching Once Upon a Time again haven't you Bearsy. I warned you all.Oh no, that Pap tried to get all serious, but I warned you.... Rickie IS Prince Charming - Fact. Worryingly he is now in a sleeping Curse and won't score again until True Loves Kiss. Where's Roger when we need him?

That's an interesting shade of hair colour

Yes BS fair point. But please do also remember that for all the Greatness (The QE2, Concord) those Manufacturing Types were also responsible for building The Austin Allegro..........

This would be a strong topic for a thread on another day. Without a doubt Enoch Powell was a genius, who said the right thing in completely the wrong way and rightly got crucified for it. I was lucky enough to attend an economics lecture by him while at school. Shame he committed political suicide because many of economic his theories could have saved a lot of grief. Anyway. It's kind of cringeworthy watching ignorant bores who were about 3 years old when she was in power quaffing champagne and "celebrating" her death. Kind of sums up the planet really these days

Haven't had this one for a while ORLY?

Michael Barrett ‏@mgbarrett 1h If state funeral = day off work, presumably all those celebrating her death will go into work as a protest?

Boruc has signed.... His NBA contract with the NY Knicks

I drove Via Plymouth & Santander. That worked well, slept on the boat and an extra day each way on holiday. No idea if they still run or how stupidly expensive they have become. It was so long ago my Born In the USA Tour T-Shirt was packed in the wrapping in my suitcase!

I'll take this as my statement on the issue, thanks KRG RIP

Damn the lot of you. All this talk of our Style... Now have this idea of a footballing remake of that bloody PSY song using clips from our games... Very worried about this game. The result depends on the choice of tactics - no not MoPo but Mrs EoA & her kids - they have to make sure Eric is chained in a room away from a 'puter. As a Plan B we've even told the bouncers at Barasti not to let him in to watch in the pub... He's missed Citeh, Liverpool, Chelski & Reading games in recent weeks. But watched Newcastle & QPR with us.

As is this in depth article on JRod should play for England by Jamie Redkrapp http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2305489/Jamie-Redknapp-Rodriguez-deserves-England-chance-Rosicky-needs-class-consistently-amid-shambles-QPR-Townsend-keeps-impressing.html

ITV Football ‏@itvfootbaII 3h BREAKING: A QPR spokesman has issued a report saying that Harry Redknapp has resigned from his position as manager. More to follow. Whatever

Us lot buying seats is one thing, at the end of the day our demand can withstand a 10 or 12% ticket price increase (No that doesn't mean I would agree with it just elasticity of demand) BUT what WOULD be a determining factor in WHEN to extend won't be us lot, it will be about how many PREMIUM price seats can they add - ie Corporate - now from what I have seen on telly, corporate is only selling out when there is no other way of getting a ticket to a match (elasticity of demand at work?) 1 corporate seat is worth anything from 4 to 8 times what one of our pleb seats is to the club. When there is a waiting list for Corporate at the beginning of the season and another row of or two of boxes can be added, then THAT starts to make the Economics of an expansion more valid. IMHO of course

Deep down, this time last year, I don't believe a single Saints fan believed that Luke Shaw would be the LB solution. While we knew he had potential we would have not expected the lad to have been so mature, so steady and play so many matches (at his age) without a fear of burn out. IMHO a great deal of "Next Season" depends on the ability of Stephens, Targett & Chambers to step up to the First Team and fill those back up places to Clyne, Shaw & CB. We KNOW that the way to improve and go up the League is to always buy better than we have, but could we do that with Shaw, Clyne & Maya/Fonte/Jos/Forren?. (Yeah I know the invisible man). Now, imagining that they COULD step up and strengthen the squad. That leaves us able to look to buy that other Wide Player (Better than Puncheon as eg), another Striker (Better than JRod/SRL ah OK with the POTENTIAL to be better maybe!) and possibly one more CB/CM OR a decent Keeper IF the Madman doesn't sign on for longer. Now THAT starts to get exciting, achievable without breaking the bank as well. Oh and one other MINOR issue. The income we will earn in the PL from TV will go up significantly next year. The more of the Youth Team who can "Do a Luke" (maybe JWP will be ready for more matches), the less "Squad players" we need to buy = the more possible money for 1st Team Salaries, which will make it HARDER for top clubs to get our kids to warm the benches Still, Swansea did OK after some of their talent was stolen last year.
