  1. Wasn't there serious talk of one of these going on the site of the Town Depot on town side of Itchen Bridge? Or was that another Echo pipe dream story?
  2. Wife went to Harry Potter World, you could order guide book and/or audio tour etc when purchasing your ticket online and it was handed to them as they arrived. So maybe they've found a way to pay up front and it's logged against your ticket and handed over as you pass through the turnstile. Would also save on print over-runs as they'll know in advance roughly how many required.
  3. Surely there is a good reason for this, it keeps England England. If it wasn't held "of the crown" there's be nothing to stop anybody selling their house/land/estate/Cornwall etc to a foreign power who could eventually take over the country by stealth, one purchase at a time.
  4. So many contenders this year it's almost unfair to award it The football segment of SPOTY will be something like "Football, the premier league was exciting for all of the last 30 seconds as City bought the title, Chelsea became kings of Europe by trying not to lose and there were a couple of cup finals, apparently. Onto our next sport ...."
  5. He took almost as long to die as Pompey
  6. Understand the abuse of position as a teacher etc but the one thing I'm not getting is why the arrest warrant for "child abduction"?. I've not seen anything to indicate she hasn't gone of her own free will.
  7. An argument I've often made. EU Employment rules are one thing. The rules of any competition the clubs choose to enter are another. If the comp rules are that minimum of say 50% on pitch have to be English then they will naturally look to employ more Englishmen. Who knows how many more Lamberts there could be in the lower leagues waiting their chance?
  8. LoL I actually did that accidentally last night. Not sure what I did but I think I hit the
  9. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19683687 Slightly worrying that we can take photos, track, and analyse stars/planets/galaxies millions and billions of miles away, yet can't identify (or predict) something this close to us !
  10. Never have never will Execution a tad harsh but I do feel if someone has an illness that is directly linked to smoking and refuses to give up after being told it will only make the illness worse, they should forfeit any right to NHS treatment for that problem. (Same for drink-related illness or any other where any recommendation of a necessary lifestyle change is ignored)
  11. I was speaking to somebody recently who was working on the council group that dealt with procuring the bridge, he admitted that it's a common perception that everyone believes (myself included), but was never ever even discussed let alone stated by the council. Can only assume it's a rumour that we all wanted to believe, no reason for him to make it up as he had several axes to grind over other issues involved with it's building/routing.
  12. So it's BODMAS or BODMSA then? Just the first being easier to remember as an acronym?
  13. See now I'm even more confused. Seems the agreement is 7 is the correct answer so why is this wrong?
  14. Exactly this. I went there years before (around 85ish?) with Saints. Once through turnstiles the only apparent way to go was through a tunnel that - unbeknown until you went through it - took you straight into the central "pen" behind the goal. Even in that game once we got through the tunnel the pen was packed and with nowhere else to go, but luckily with no large build up behind us we were able to turn round and go back through the tunnel. Once we looked around found other steps that led to a corner section which was less than half full, as was the opposite corner. No direction signs, no stewards suggesting we'd be better off heading for the corners, just an unknown ground where we had to find out for ourselves. Liverpool probably had 3 or 4 times the number we had in that end, with probably the same confusion magnified.
  15. Glad to see it's not just me then. Maybe we all went to the same school.
  16. Only daily ones nowadays thank goodness. Wearers will know that even dailies sometimes feel dirty and need a "clean". Usual method for me is take it out, dribble on it, rub it gently and put it back. Optician once told me never ever use saliva to clean a lens, too many germs, you'd be better of peeing on it as it's sterile. Not easy to do when your driving though.
  17. Spoke to him once after a fans forum and he said pretty much what you have suggested. Without mentioning specifics (SMS lounge bars have ears) he made it clear that that was not the happiest time of his working life.
  18. I left school with a Grade A O'Level Maths in 1978:blush:but don't recall anything other than left to right, brackets first. Would I have been taught "wrong" or just not progressed onto that level of maths (after all infants are taught correctly in basic addition etc but wouldn't have a clue about square roots etc) . If Bidmas is now taught in schools no wonder I was no use to my kids helping with their homework
  19. Only done O level myself, never heard of Bodmas (sounded like bidmas on radio but can't remember what he said second word was), so I just done it left to right as there were no brackets and got 1. They did say that this answer was understandable if you hadn't been taught the "advanced" way, so left to right was how majority would approach it. Just thought it weird that what probably the majority of the population think the correct way to do a calculation like that is actually not the wrong way, which makes me wonder how easy it is for major mistakes to occur. Surely there should only be one right way taught.
  20. May have been on here before, it was being discussed on radio yesterday and they said it was doing rounds on the internet. 6-1*0+2/2 = ? I got it hopelessly wrong:blush:
  21. When asked to comment on Southampton's attendance Lord Sebastian Coe commented: " Empty seats? I see no empty seats "
  22. Yes, I took over one someone else had set up and personally I found it very complicated to use, not very user friendly. I found www.create.net much simpler and MUCH better at answering any queries.
  23. Maybe it's just me but aren't they getting in a muddle with their company law and the football rules. For the CLUB to carry on it has to honour it's football creditors debts. That's a football rule. Doesn't matter who the OWNERS are it is he CLUB that is entering the Football League. If those compromise deals have been made with the players it's no good the Trust saying that was agreed with a different owner. They are taking over a CLUB that has football creditors (albeit and a mutually agreed reduced rate) and for that CLUB to continue operating in the league it has to meet those obligations, no matter who made them. One of us doesn't get it. Don't think it's me.
  24. They'll never agree on a valuation so why not rent it to NewNewCo or Phoenix AFC for a set percentage of gate receipts. Makes good financial sense, he'll be quids in, what with them having the bestest fans in the world and packing the park every week.
