Whitey Grandad

I've just looked at it again and he's comfortably onside. Yet another good decision from a lino.

As I was driving along Stoneham Lane this morning I saw a white minibus with 'Portsmouth Academy' on the side. It was empty. Who are they trying to fool?

Cats are wildlife killers. The fewer the better, especially in my garden where I am considering installing a water cannon. The more important point is, seh was filmed on a hidden CCTV camera which infringed her human rights. I hope for the owner's sake that he had a notice stating that video recordings would be made, the purpose for them and a contact telephone number or he may be in serious trouble with the law!

My concerns about Davis's distribution is not so much that he hoofs it upfield as the fact that he usually overhits it or sends it into 'touch'.

In 'The Longest Day' Port en Bessin was used as the setting for Lieutenant Kieffer's attack on Ouistreham. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Kieffer

Are you judging by results or by performances?

There's a bit of everything in there. A lot came from southern Essex and some from the West Country.

So I suppose that makes the immigrants the exogenous ergophilic?

I'll take that as a compliment. I built a crystal set when I was about fourteen (using a germanium diode 'cause crystals were, like, soooo uncool) and when I put the headphones on I got Radio Caroline! I was really thrilled, but then I found out that I could get Radio Caroline and nothing else. I stripped it down to just headphones and a diode and I could still get Radio Caroline. Not surprising really, we lived 100 yards from the sea and the ship was only 4 miles away. We used to see all the DJs hanging around in Harwich waiting for the service boat.

It changes depending on whom I am addressing. I was born in North London, spent my childhood with a broad East Anglian accent and I've been around a bit since then.

The Queen copies my accent, don't ya know.

I used to have a box of valves in my attic from my younger days. I threw them all away a couple of years ago. Probably a foolish thing to do. They weren't particularly historic, mainly ECC83s and that sort of thing. The letters all had a meaning, E was 6.3V heaters, C was amplifying triode and so on. The first transistors followed the same system so an OC71 was an amplifying triode with zero heater volts!

Have I missed one? One goal from two league games, or three goals from three games against teams in the same division. Let's not do ourselves down without good reason. I do tend to agree with your argument, though.

Not all of them, just the football ones.

Almost worth it just to see Jenny Agutter get her kit off.

NAh, we'll just run up massive debts instead.

Somebody has to. These people are the guardians of public standards and without them society would either decay into anarchy or freeze into a police state.

And the solution? (You realise that I may have a personal interest here).

Ok, we're not playing as well as we'd like at the moment but nobody could be so simple-minded as to assuming the tthe rest of the season will follow the first two weeks? All the independent football commentators seem to think that we're going to be fine and we're the bookies' favourites so I would give it another few weeks before we all start slitting our wrists and beating our chests. On the evidence that I've seen I see no cause for concern. We are obviously short of a couple of players and I'm certain that the management are aware of this. One of the problems with loan players is that there is no continuity from one season to the next.

Have you only just noticed?

There was one enormous divot that Kelvin had to replace where he had taken a goal kick. I suppose it's due to the relaying over the summer, but we did have a bit of rain yesterday.

They didn't take that long to warm up. They were quicker than Windows takes to boot up.

The odds do not represent the probability of that event happening, they show the amount of money that has been placed on such an event, hence they reflect the expectations of the punters.

My grandchildren liked Toy Story 3, if that's any help?
