A Blunderbuss of a Centre Forward? Wow that's a new way to describe RLSGM

KD cracking save... FFS sort it OUT

Nah, wasn't the last one t'was the last 4 cases AND the last 2 cases of London Pride.. To you my son only 50 chips a bottle:-) I better go away again, Yeovil are playing much better now

Nah, just stuff that has to come in from Europe by air... Like Food You'll be fine I mean you still have farms and stuff. OK Saints, I'm here you can start playing properly

Evening all, sorry I'm late had to go and do some panic buying and hoarding

When you add in this stuff, you guys may need to start watching out for Polar Bears. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8615789.stm They're gonna wish they'd installed that undersoil heating at SMS as well

Bloody wimps, don't need all that, it's the managers job..... Good appointment, good track record and experience and a very careful dig by Matt Crocker at the way some of the younger players were "brought up" previously at the end of the OS article...... about "the boys being more disciplined in their approach to the game" and "family oriented" and "life skills"...

Probably lucky you got here before all the hotels fill up! Places to go to while here Ravi's in Satwa - possibly the best Curry House in the world (in a quirky way) Chicken Handi, Roti, Mixed Grill should cost about 5 quid for two. Take a taxi down to "The OLD HSBC Building" and the Soukh in Bur Dubai and wander around and take an Abra to Deira & The Gold Soukh. Will cost about a tenner in total for taxi fare and 50p for the boat trip Let me or Eric know if you need any help/suggestions, already bailing out one refugee later today. You likely won't move for some time. Although some got away yesterday on Etihad out of Abu Dhabi to Dublin & Emirates does fly to Glasgow Newcastle & Manchester which may open earlier Biggles is fine to watch the footie and an Old Fart Ex Pat institution You also have the Irish Village in walking distance (At The Tennis Stadium) and Century Village (restaurants) at the same location.

On a Frivolous note.... That Ep 4 says a lot about Aussie Blokes... Yanks arrive, the same day (without so much as a shower) one meets girl on Tram, turns up next day for dinner with Mum & Dad and she is jumping his bones within 20 mins of dinner finishing Oh, and as GF pointed out - it was all a bit "one sided" :D

Saw Ep 5 today. That hit the spot well done to the Production team for that. Is it only me & fading eyesight that wonders why the hell they cast only guys with the same colour hair in this? OK I can recognise Leckie & Eugene but the other all seem so close. Suddenly sunk in during Ep 5 though that we are watching the story of 1st Marines and NOT the history of the total war in "The Pacific". Having travelled a lot in SE Asia but not The Pacific and (tried) to understand Geography & History I had never heard of Pavulu (sic) or New Gloucester and was looking at the Time Line and suddenly wondered how the Rising Sun had moved so far back towards Japan (No Guam and is there time for Iwo Jima sort of thing?) I mean here they are already in late 1944 and 5 episodes to go So yes great, it has sent me off to Wiki and that for me is a fecking good thing for a TV show to have done

Satellite TV showed Escape to Witch Moutain tonight It was complete rubbish and yet we really enjoyed it, a daft and cracking Yarn

Nice one Boggy thx Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this February from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife. The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (or B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth". Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, "We sympathize with our workers concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have to tell 3000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up." Spokespersons for the union in the North East of England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the strike would not affect their operations as "There are no virgins in their areas anyway". Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has been put down to the emergence of that Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle - now that Muslims know what a virgin looks like that they are not so keen on going to paradise.

Twists and Turns. This isn't over until

OK here's a few, sorry I had to use my Canon Powershot and mot my proper camera http://i40.tinypic.com/2ely0e9.jpg Yeah the flag gets EVERYWHERE, except SMS http://i44.tinypic.com/2v8g2s2.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/x422qv.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/2jdqpf.jpg I would be a nasty bstd and post the Video of Grammy, Slap & Terry Singing the Salisbury Saints song in Leicester Square, but the Girlfriend warned if I did that she'd retaliate by posting her Vid of why 50 Year Old's shouldn't be allowed to go clubbing from last night.... She won

You have clearly never been to Disney.:cool: They should be paying YOU to buy the place... The Pound is plummeting ATM, by the time you complete the place will cost 60K and will still be worth them paying you to take it

Oh no they're not www.youtube.com/watch?v=As4TlTuAQNI Sorry we are having HUGE web problems down here due to our Proxy Server being in the US and the undersea cable being interfered with by the Ash Cloud (Well that's what the Authorities say) we can only get online with a VPN connections so yo may have to cut and paste the link. But it's a ripper

Phew, with the HT score thank heavens I can spend the 29th doing something important like buying Harrods Potted Stilton Cheese rather than drinking copious amounts and singing

If Only. The two most innocuous words in the English Language, until they apply to you.. FFS Millwall sort it OUT

The worm has turned. OK we still knock him because his view is slanted to the Few (obviously) But the nice thing is, Corpy gets it. There is one HELL of a lot wrong with English Football as many posters and many Journalists have written. PFC deserve to hurt because of their cheating "glory" days, BUT IF just IF the end result is that they take down the crooks in Football, they show up Dave Richards for the fool he was in recommending Al Mirage, then although we'd never give them credit, their slow death would have helped the game. And no I am NOT being sympathetic towards them. They are proven Cheats

Stevegrant could become a legend.... The Forum Match is on 27th and had been planned for ages and the trip back had long been booked. Only noticed last week - the co-incidence, or is it Karma Vocano permitting of course

Lareg group from an Intel conference down here had their flights cancelled yesterday. They have been rebooked On the 1st MAY!

Iceland, such a puny small country and yet in the past year or so it has caused SO much disruption.... :-) Youngest son flew out to Vancouver Thursday (luckily) they could see it (the Ash Cloud) from the plane and he said it was just a stunning sight and seemed to be "off in the distance outside the window for a hell of a long time". Got a mate who was here for a 3 day conference who's now stuck and been kicked out his hotel as they are all full with transit passengers who've been pouring into Dubai then going nowhere into Northern Europe. AND we have people due in from Scandinavia Sunday on a major project for us and that looks like it's gone t1ts up as well. We tried to get flights booked yesterday to send one of our guys back for training to the UK - not a SINGLE fecking seat on a plane out of here for the next 10 days as they've blocked everything in CASE the delays last another 3 or 4 days. Some are saying weeks.... Jeez we're fecking MAROONED!

There are around 100 Pubs in the small City of Salisbury. It should be the choice of smoking Landlords who employ only smoking staff to allow customers to choose to smoke. If a non smoker does not like it then they can go to one of the other 80 or so pubs. But oh no, the smoking pubs would get busy and the non-smokers would complain they can't go in to a happening place without harming their health. But they STILL drink alcohol.... So NHS should refuse to serve anyone who has injured themselves through consumption of alcohol or through abuse of it. Domestic Violence is completely avoidable, all potential couples should undergo a Drving Test for compatibility and emotional balance or be refused Emergency Treatment. How about a better idea. Everyone HAS to take out medical insurance and scrap National Insurance. Oh and of course Loss of income insurance. Better disband the Army as well while we're on the subject.
