That's a hell of a lot of water. 1000 litres is a metric tonne, and occupies a volume of 1 cubic metre, so unless there was a drainpipe leading direct into the tank I don't really see how it could have happened.

Not strictly a palindrome, of course, but referred to as such in the 'dead parrot sketch'. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=notlob I like number 4: 'No-one can be bothered to hate them as they are a nonentity.... ....they are a NOTHING club'.

So it was you who stole my hour! I demand it back (with interest). One day I might need it.

I was kept inside the ground for over an hour at Portsmouth. I shall never get that hour back. The violence outside was between locals and I know of no Saints supporters who were involved. I could have left the ground like everybody else and I would have blended in but instead when we were finally released from 'custody' it was obvious that we were all Saints's supporters. In over 40 years of following football I have never witnessed or been involved in any form of violence. I do not want my photograph taken without permission. If you don't think that this behaviour is liable to incite then I invite you to stand with a video camera on any street corner in any city in the world where there are underprivileged minorities and see how long you last.

There are plenty of cases of innocent people being accused, charged and banged up on the flimsiest of evidence. Sometimes just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, sometimes just for resembling a known wrongdoer. Just wait until they knock on your door one evening and invite you to help them with their enquiries. Ian Tomlinson had done nothing wrong either....

It makes everyone a suspect, even those who have previously been law-abiding. It means that we are not trusted to behave ourselves. I thought I had left all that behind when I left school.

'Always play your best team'. To me, none of our players seems to be match fit so the more games they play the better. If we get knocked out, so whhat?

Oh, you naive youth.

My thoughts too. May he Rest in Peace.

Yes Quashie was a good player. I see that he was released by QPR at the end of last season. Any reason why nobody has mentioned Skacel? I'm surprised Jemaine Wright's not in that list, TBH.

Kevin Phillips?

Please don't bring this up. I hate to see an old man cry, especially when it's me.

Yup, Chesterfield. he rose to fame in that cup run of theirs with the 'disallowed goal'. I agree that it was a big mistake to let him go. A replacement would have cost several million.

Respect.

He never hides and is always looking for the ball. If there was as much movement amongst all the others we would be a lot more successful. I agree about Barnard. A lot of them do't seem to be match-fit.

He had the right, but you don't have to have something to hide to to feel uncomfortable by it.

I liked 'can we have the DVD?' I thought it was grossly over-the-top policing that assumes everyone is a potential wrongdoer. The police are there to serve us, not the other way round. It's enough to cause a riot. I was once told that they do it so that if there is trouble later they can identify people caught on CCTV by their clothing.

Education has not been the same since the abolition of the grammar schools. There aren't many of us left who remember them.

Just ask yourself for a moment... Why on earth would anybody in Bulgaria be interested in Saints v Bolton in a tinpot cup?

Point taken, you were right to correct me in this respect. Personally, I have experienced no evidence of improving standards in any of the public services, save perhaps health, but that has in no way reflected the vast amounts of borrowed money that have been poured down its gulleys. However, I take my hat off to Blair for this action whatever his motives. Amongst other papers I read the Daily Mail and a few days ago they were trying to make capital out of the fact that he will, in their words, 'save' a lot of tax by giving money to charity. This 'saved' money will not go into his pockets, but will further enhance the value of his donations. They were trying to make a cheap and invalid point, in my opinion.

That is an interesting thought. Let's hope we're successful with at at least one of those, if not more!

It isn't essential to me, but it is for the long-term health of the club.

I think you have answered your own question there.
