When I brought the Polish GF over to the UK went to Tesco's, got the shopping, told her to go pay for it at the Self Service Desk. Oh how I lol'd..... Obviously they don't have them here or in Polska and the look on her face - she actually believed me when I said they were the only way to pay and the other queues were for customer service. The left hook to the ribcage was well worth it

Free tickets for the ODI next week at the Rose Bowl
dubai_phil replied to fish fingers's topic in General Sports
ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH Just paid 65 quid for a fecking ticket in the members enclosure at the weekend..... Hampshire OUT! See you guys there am up near the back but will try and bring the Dubai Saints flag along -
Having a bad build up to the match. Managed to put too much salt in my early evening Bloody Mary and have run out of Lard for the Roast Spuds to go with the full Roast Beef & Trimmings. Son in town and has to be done, but now worried that may run late and not make kick-off. Damn I hate being in a rush on matchdays! Pessimistic about NMS working, but if I can get my sh1t together in time I think with a decrease in teh Humidity and 34C feeling like 38 this evening we should be in to catch them on the rebound. Now if only the damned prediction league worked

Really Unusual or Unexpected Gigs you have seen

Remind me, who beat him that night for the 50 quid first prize? -
You sure it isn't one of those Karama rip off Ralph Lauren Polo Club ones:-)

Arrrrrrgghh Told you so. But goddamit what hurts is he could be right

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/rydercup/8002820/Ryder-Cup-2010-Lee-W******d-winning-race-to-be-fit-for-Celtic-Manor-showdown.html Phew, had been awfully quiet on the Lee W******d front. Seems he will be ready, but will he be rusty? In other news, The marshalls in Dubai are very excited by the news that Michelle Wie is coming down to the Ladies Masters in December, now (thanks to Tiger) that we know what touring Golf Superstars really want we are very motivated and up for this event....

The Official Summer Transfers and HCDAJFU Thread
dubai_phil replied to supersonic's topic in The Saints
Well, the Away side needs strengthening -
Was surfing for obscure 80's hits for my daugter's engagement party next week and came across Animotion. They actually had a great song (for old farts that move their necks when dancing like fat old people and still pull) that I'd never heard of called I Engineer which is fast becoming a fav... However for the regular readers on here they also had this as a their main hit. Which is sort of appropriate seeing we have made it into territories uncharted by reaching The Devil's page And come on, who remembers dancing to this without a beer gut?

I threw up remembering we gave away any sell on clause to get the cash in

The Official Summer Transfers and HCDAJFU Thread
dubai_phil replied to supersonic's topic in The Saints
I remember the days when we were signing the permanent wingers, a Rickie cover and a CM. Or was that last January's HCDAJFU thread? -
Is the flat avaialbel for a short term rent? It's just I managed to book my return from a conference in the US to co-incide with the Cherry home game (if they can afford the petrol) and as I will have flown over night I could do with getting my head down for a couple of hours, and seems Jury's Inn just don't have decent 3 hour rates) I keep googling MON so I could get intouch but seem to get the answer Hoots. Anyone help?
-
Been away a long time, not up to date with Celebs, but why would we be interested in an over the hill Ibiza DJ? Or have I got this thread all a bit Mike Tonge
-
Wow thanks for that. Although an evil part of me seems to wonder if you just showed your hand and that you are now ITK regarding the whole Slating thing. Think I'll go for the Buck Palace approach, simply because we do Metro's down here, not trans and I think people may miss the subtlety
-
PM nearer the time. Wherever else you have to get your crowd to The Seaview & seriously B&B is on offer for any passing Saints. It ain't a weird thing it's an Arabic travelling Nomad thing, we'll get you to spend the Hotel Cost on booze for us/ Meanwhile back on topic. Anna Chapman I would/Did/want/ouch/yes sorry darling/ouch yes I know the Polish Nation has an issue with Russia/Ouch yes ok sorry, OK I promise to only fantasie about Angelina from now on but please stop hitting me
-
Well, it's an important piece of missing information, if I decide to come back next year it could determine my choice of Mansion, is it going to cost me less to heat Tiles/Slates/Thatch - after all you guys get so COLD in the winter. Alternatively as is likely I stay here another year, seeing as I am a Celebrity down here, I may just wish to start a new craze by having my roof redone with Slate if it has better cooling properties. The FACTS are a really important decision whether one becomes a Slater or a Thatcher
-
Fujeirah - wow - fantastic - let me tell you the best thing you can do while there? get a fecking taxi to Dubai.. B&B available at competitive rates (just go through Duty Free on your way past Shark Island The Dubai Saints Massive will be most hacked off if you don't. We can fill you in on important gossip - the actual ingredients of a Bullfrog for one. And no, I was allegedly referring to real ones, not the takeaway fakes that nobody bothers with any more. Sort of http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/8001410/Anna-Chapman-was-a-useless-spy-former-lovers-claim.html for a more independent assessment/endorsement I'm reliably informed that it is well worth the effort
-
FWIW having viewed the thread title for some time now, I just wanted to point out (not from personal experience of course) that I an reliably informed that there truly is nothing better than having a Russkie coming (in the right place at the right time)
-
Do they use recycled Slate? Do they prefer Welsh or Cornish Slate? Which has the better thermal dynamics?
-
About 3 weeks back there was a pic of him on the OS. I commented at the time that it seemed he had a beer gut. Does this make me ITK finally?
-
OK, so I predict a 2-0 win for Swindon, it saves (unlike KD) They win 1-0 and I earn zero points You've been doing work again instead of living on here haven't you Stevie
-
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Now look what you've done. You'll set Dalek off on one again

Ah the no alternative negativity Opinion, how refreshing So you believe that LLS or Mickey Fialka would have made a more suitable Chairman then? Didn't see anyone else actually talking to My Fry with even the merest hint of the possibility of a cheque in their pocket. Or perhaps you advocated the Council owning the Stadium and Mickie & Minnie taking control with a total purchase and investment budget of 4mil? Wouldn't have got us out of L1 any time soon but no doubt plenty of free champers paid for by the poor mugs paying for their tickets (except those clever enough to discover the free ST wheeze)
-
Totally do not expect NA to win his first game in charge..... Unless...... If there really was some "unease" in the team due to "outside alleged influences" affecting motivation In which case I think we could just Murder them, after all New Manager Syndrome and we are their Bogey Team.... Yeah right win for MK then

Hahaha. That's quite timely. A couple on here will pass this thread by and have a little chortle and a told you so moment. Interesting that Leftback describes Reed as an Oaf, probably not that well connected these days then. If he talked to some people in football outside Saints then he would have used more descriptive terms. Still, for a Top Gear style c*ck he has had a damned fine career and has a track record, probably in some people's opinions he lives off that a bit too much. But how interesting that suddenly we see an actual example of someone popping up and having a targetted dig. FWIW gang, batten down the hatches, there's a lot more of this swirling around. My opinion of NC remains that he seems to be a total c*ck but he is OUR c*ck and he wants exactly the same thing that I want - Saints in the CL - Bloody Marvellous. IF and I repeat IF we fnally start moving forwarss again then this will all just fade away as sad disenfranchised people and schemers fade away into their normal lives. But if we stumble again, trust me, this will get worse. IMHO of course and I know sod all from 3,500 miles away obviously, I just watch, read and analyse
