Indeed. There are polls out tonight showing all three main party leaders popularity ratings are down on previous polls. Miliband is down less than Cameron but I'd have expected to see a small rise in his popularity, given recent events. Just goes to show that the British public, in the main, appear to be seeing through the party politics on this one. Probably.

I recently had a virus that was 'clever' enough to disable and/or intercept any attempt to run malware removal software (malwarebytes and the like) I ended up creating a rescue disk on another PC - available free from Kaspersky website - and booting up on that. It has an integral virus checker which did the business.

Anyone else feeling a looming general election in their waters...?

A press conference for signing a non-league player? More chance of us signing Skacel...

Any relation to Verbal...? ;-) (before you lay into me, Mr V, yes, I know...very weak attempt at humour. I can only apologise)

I can't remember precisely. I remember supporting Saints when they won the FA Cup final in 1976 (aged but I've never been too sure if I 'chose' them because of the cup run or whether I'd been supporting them for a while beforehand. My uncle used to play for Pompey in the 60s/70s, and my dad used to go and watch him play down there, so, somehow, I had a lucky escape there!

Yup. Thought everyone knew that?

Nut. Shell.

Logically, it should be 'first game of season' rather than 'at time of purchase' (in the same way that I have had to buy an 'adult' airline ticket for my son for next month despite bring 'child' age at time of purchase) But, sorry, don't know if SFC follow such logic...

The less tax I pay the more I give directly to others. Seriously.

Mansize tissues for that one I'd suggest

Because someone whose daughter works at SMS posted last week that it was "thick stripes with White sleeves" Which makes it a cast iron certainty of course... :-)

Maybe Dune (and previous incarnations) is a user ID created and used by the mods / admins as a way of stirring up reaction and generating traffic on their forum? There again, perhaps not...

£2m it is then... ;-)

If any of us are at a dinner party and someone asks "what's the difference between a Southampton fan and a Portsmouth fan?" show them this post using the words 'nut' and 'shell' with gay abandon.

Morph knows. IMHO of course

It's only July but I think we already have a winner for funniest thread of the year award. Tears rolling down my face catching up with the last page or so. And all this entertainment for a fiver. Bargain :-)

Only 9 posts later than my equally witty post... ;-)

I do have a recurring dream (aka conspiracy theory).... Something to do with the old forum database becoming "corrupted" (sometime in 2008?)....those 'historic' posts never to see the light of day again....which, in my recurring dream, was a rather convenient end to the 'takeover saga'... Of course, in reality, the disappearance of all those threads and posts was simply down to a computer fault....
