  1. Off of - drives me bloody crazy. Comprises of - aaaarrgghhh and of course the all time classic - could of
  2. Clive Allen bought by from QPR by Arsenal in the close season and sold to Crystal Palace before the season started without playing a competitive game. Rumours at the time thought Arsenal acted as go betweens because QPR wouldn't sell him to Palace.
  3. So AA is back trying to help save the club, 'Arry and Storrie colluding to do the same, I don't suppose it has dawned on them that if they do go pop there may well be a 'proper' investigation into the financial 'management'. Surely not
  4. Don't touch spirits except Absinthe when I'm listening to Floyd. Only bad effect is it makes me lose my voice - shame i can't get Mrs JK to drink it.
  5. Wasn't too bothered when it was revealed and even got to quite liking it but saw it in the flesh for the first time yesterday - eeuurgh. The sleeves are a different shade of red to the rest of it whether this is due to it being a different material or because it is dyed red rather than printed I don't know. The stripes on the front don't marry up with the ones on the back. I realise due to manufacturing processes this is probably impossible but they should have had a plain red yoke ( like last years white) so that at least it didn't look half baked. All in all very disappointed so didn't buy one.

    Live a 10min walk from the course but never been - too many hooray henrys. Windsor races on a monday night is really good
  7. This.
  8. Looks like I overestimated a tad.
  9. Am I reading more into the FL statement than is there by thinking that the part relating to strict financial controls, budgets etc is their way of putting Chinny off - i.e. he won't be able to pocket the PPs? I had been wondering how they could pass him as a FPP in the knowledge that he was going to grab the money and run so maybe this is their way of stopping him?
  10. Only twice - Wembley 76 right behind the goal amongst a load of p!ssed up Mancs, wasn't a nice day until Bobby popped up. Then my old man kept telling everyone we were Saints. Left before we collected the cup, will forever regret that. Arsenal in the relegation season, went mental when we went 2-1 up then got a kicking when they equalised. Not sure I really fancy doing it anymore.
  11. Have been in Print/Packaging for 27 years but had a fall out with last employer in Feb and so currently "between jobs".
  12. If there had been the sort of saturated exposure and analysis and re-analysis then that there is now then he may have got the credit he deserved. The media would be creaming themselves at most of those.
  13. Does anyone know the reason we stopped having a badge on the shirt in 1894 and didn't put one back on til 1975? Always wondered when I was a nipper why we didn't have a badge.
  14. My favourite is the Nell Gwynn down a small alley off the Strand. Its absolutely tiny inside but because it's tucked away mostly tourist free. Decent ale and proper bar food - rolls and pork pies which they make themselves.
  15. Ok, they've found it. Religion - your move.
  16. Out of the women I've asked who have read it those that are of average intelligence or above consider it to be more like a teen magazine story. The other ahem, not so intelligent, think it's great.
  17. "you should receive it last wednesday" PMSL
  18. Being the sad git that I am and with nothing else to do, I've just totted up how many are still available - 8177 out of a total of 28088. That doesn't mean we've sold 19k plus because there are quite a lot not sold and not available, but held back for players, corporate etc also a large chunk in blk 3 being held ( maybe to allow movement from blk 42 for cup games)
  19. It must be true I can see a huge black hole - sorry it's just the missus tying her shoelaces.
  20. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2805126,00.html 30 June it is then
  21. Was watching a programme the other morning with him interviewing Mad Frankie Frazer and other Kray associates about the 60s. He seems to think that since he wrote the twins biography with their co-operation he is now part of that "scene". True to form then that he would want to invest.
  22. So any woman earning over £48k isn't going to find her perfect man as she wants him to earn £48k but also earn more than his partner. Standard female logic then.
  23. Bearsy = legend.
  24. Back to Reading on the train with loads of Cov fans ( good bunch) then in the Three Guineas next to the station with loads of Reading fans finally back home to my local before closing which is run by a West Ham fan. Therefore plenty of banter the whole day!

    Medical help

    Be careful, I had it back in Feb, it gradually got worse and then I started falling over. Turned out to be Labyrinthitis. It's really horrible and still haven't got rid of it completely. Fed up with people asking me if I'm drunk when I walk down the street
