Cheerio

Starting to feel sorry for "Steve", poor sod doesn't know what to believe. And if "Gosport Fairy" was the first Saint he spotted on there he can give up any ideas of a career in investigative journalism. For the record I am NOT blue through and through and how the **** do you know me?

Not really a concern is it. I mean, however much it ****es them off it's not like there will be a ST next season for them to refuse to buy.

Similar to Fulham, no danger of going down, no danger of winning anything. Then build from there

Answered my own question now. A bit of detective work locates it ................in Petersfield. So nowhere near Weston, Southampton at all then

Going back to the link in the OP can anyone tell me where this was? Listed as Weston but I can't place it at all http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/hampshire/southampton_jollysailor.html

No wonder no-one takes any notice when we moan about them ruining the atmosphere by banging on the back boards

That's a relief . Just bought a Rangers shirt off their website for a tenner in case it becomes a collectors item. If they survive (which no doubt they will) it's good know I am safe to wear it around town I might need help getting rid of a slow paying tenant. Can you send me your contact details

Neither article mentions Kony at all How about hearing his side of the story. Not defending him in any way, I don't know enough to judge, but I know that there's two sides to every story.

I have been following a diet since Monday that for the first 5 days is almost a detox, includes no caffeine. Have been drinking decaffeinated coffee, but **** me, the headaches Monday to Wednesday were almost unbearable:x. Took a lot of will power, especially as I have a brilliant coffee shop next door to me at work. Diet or no diet (the food side of it I've had no probs with) I will be back on the proper stuff next week. Before that it was the Kenco Millicano I've been drinking at work. Good, but not as nice as "ordinairy" Carte Noire, my favourite instant, not tried their Instinct yet but it might well be first on next weeks list .

Now if only The Old Codger account hadn't been banned

50, Bursledon First home game 0-0 v Coventry probably in 69 (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was sold out so Dad took me to Dell instead) First away Spurs prob 1971, we won 2-1 with two Channon goals in the last 5 mins (or maybe not memories get muddled)

Ditto . Are you me?

I can see I'm far from the first to say it but not for me either, not by a mile. Guess you have to be old enough to have seen them both. MLT was was blessed with great technical ability. If he could have combined that with Channon's commitment and enthusiasm he could have been a world beater. Channon first for me every time.

If any of you own football boots please can you bring them along to the next game

Cheers for replies. Think I'll give it a go next free Sunday I have Not today though !

FFS Well done that man. Have been trying to come up with something sensible using the anagram reference but couldn't make anything relevant. Great spot . So is it a big wind-up or just an amazing coincidence ?

I've never been a rambler but it's good to get out in the fresh air with Mrs W for a bit of exercise (I AM talking walking) during the spring/summer months. We are lucky enough to have a huge range of places to explore within a short drive from home. But sometimes it just feels like we are walking for the sake of it. Just read about GeoCaching , basically sounds like a kind of treasure hunt using GPS. A quick postcode search on the website shows plenty close to home. Can't make up my mind from reading about it whether it makes a good walk even better by adding a fun element, or whether it would turn it into a frustrating waste of time scrambling about trying to find something when you're not quite sure what you're looking for. Has anyone tried it? Is it worth it? And is a GPS on a mobile accurate enough or does it need specialist equipment?

If that is the case - and it is exactly the story I've been hearing locally since I posted earlier - the person who stopped must be having sleepless nights as well. Did they check their mirror before stopping for them to cross? Even if they did they'll be asking themselves whether they checked properly. Not trying to apportion blame, just pointing out how many lives an accident like this can affect. I've done it myself, stopped to allow someone to cross,THEN spotted a bike in my mirror on my outside in the mirror. Luckily a beep and frantic wave made them go back to the pavement, but not a mistake I'll ever repeat. You ask why people stop to let people cross. I know that road very well, sometimes it is the only way you can get across, you can wait literally minutes there. Unless of course, as already pointed out, you use the pelican crossing only about 50 yards away, built for just that purpose. All makes you realise how precious life is, it can be snatched away in an instant

Got caught in the traffic there myself just before 8pm . Very sad, tragic for the whole family That is a horrible piece of road, a slight dip in the road makes it very difficult judging speed of traffic coming towards you. Having said that, and I'm purely speculating, the number of police vehicles (far more than in the Echo photo when I passed), combined with a relative expressing "anger" amongst the family, would suggest the rider may have been a fault and the area was being treated as a crime scene. Echo report now updated includes Tragic

On the assumption that it was likely to be their last ever game and away to other bitter rivals I would expect at least protests, pitch invasions and possibly worse inside the stadium. Outside it, let's just say if I was of the thug type, 657 type mindset, I wouldn't even bother with the game, but the phrases "going out with a bang" and "one last big day out" would be crossing my mind.

I've been wondering about that . If TB can't see any way they could survive past mid April it could well be our game would be the last. Would be very very surprised if that was allowed to happen. To be fair to the other 23 teams the FL should be contacting them now and seek a guarantee that they can see out the season. If that can not be given then they should have their golden share removed now, all results wiped out and be given bottom place with 0 points. If they somehow manage to rescue themselves between now and season end they can restart in L1 next season as a normal relegation. If they can't, or liquidate before then, the phoenix club can reform wherever someone will have them.

He's been busy

Mine Surprised that got through. Didn't really answer the question though
