Whitey Grandad

I suggest a fortnight in Southsea.

Somebody else would have been playing in his place. We might still have lost, though.

Nobody is irreplaceable. Any player could get injured at any time and Saints are no different from any other team in this division. What we do have is solid financial backing which is the envy of almost every other club in the country, and a sizeable home support, and these are what will lead us to promotion, not any one individual player.

I'll agree with that one.

There's no real way of knowing. There's another 800 available when the first 100 have been sold. If you want to see anything of the game, wait for the terrace tickets. If it's raining then you'd be better of with a seat in the stand. You'll probably be dry but they are almost all 'obstructed views'. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1990963,00.html

Compared with last season it was a classic of good football. And we won.

They have said that they will pay the next £1m. I thought that all money went through the PL / FA ?

I was expected the trophy to have been presented to the crowd and I don't see why it wasn't.

Isn't he the one that missed that header in the first half? Three yards out and just inside the right-hand post it went wide of the left for a goal-kick. A very sloppy performance that seemed to affect most of the players. They just seemed to kick the ball straight at the player standing in front of them. Schneiderlin made four poor passes in the first half alone when he was under no pressure at all. If some of them had been up late then it would explain a lot, but it would be inexcusable. Orient had quite a lot of chances and we shall never win anything if we can't keep clean sheets. I'll take the three points but it simply won't do next season.

I did't see Markus. Was he there?

I assume that you have a communal aerial worth a distribution amplifier feeding all the flats in the same building? Ask the other occupants if they have the same problem. See if you can take your tv to one of their rooms temporarily. If it does pick up the other stations then at least it will have registered the programme list and may work when you get back to your own installation. If your feed is worse than the others then contact the property management. If it's a built-in freeview decoder then it will have been designed to be as cheap as possible, and they do vary a lot in terms of sensitivity. I had one decoder which used to 'notch out' the channel that it was tuned to so that all downstream receivers suffered. Try borrowing a separate decoder (set-top box) and see if that's better. If you do decide to buy one, get a PVR, i.e. one with a hard-drive, it will replace your video recorder. You may just be unlucky, check your likely signal strength at http://www.digitaluktv.com/news/check-predicted-digital-tv-reception/ The good news is that when they eventually do switch off the analogue signals then the digital strength will be increased. The bad news is that they are going to switch off the analogue signals. Check if you are in one of the group who can receive free help: http://www.helpscheme.co.uk/ Even if you aren't eligible, someone in the same building may be. Failing that, you can always deek professional help from someone with a signal-strength meter and spectrum analyser. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

When you say 'new webcam', is it from the same manufacturer with the same software or another one? BTW, each usb port has to have a driver installed for it for the same plug-in device.

You're two days late!

I believe so, unlike mobile phones which use code division multiplexing. It's late and my head hurts.

A good independent.

Each of the old analogue channels is used to provide a new digital bit stream in which several new digital channels are combined in what is called a multiplex. The BBC channels that you can receive are grouped into a multiplex on a different analogue channel to the ones that you can't get. It depends on the transmitter but I think that the BBC mux is on a much lower frequency to the ITV ones, so it looks like your aerial is picking up some frequencies better than others. What transmitter are you looking at?

Can I have your share?

Comparing our performance to the 6th place in the table is to compare to a moving target. You are not comparing to the same team but to the best team out of several.

Ain't that the truth!

Thanks, now I feel sick.

It's very important for digital signals. Any kink, loop, coil or knot can really bugger them up.

I saw loads of empty seats.

I shall be where every true Saints fan should be: at St Mary's cheering on our team.

I had jugged hare at a college dinner once. I can still smell it.

Check the cable quality first. Some old cables can be very lossy, especially if they are bent or wet. An amplifier won't improve your noise figure or get rid of reflections. Can't you get an outside aerial fitted?
