At university we had one lecturer to 280 students.

Wimps, the lot of 'em. The trouble is nowadays, too many people live too far away from their place of work. The cost of moving house is too so with HIPS, stamp duty, legal fees, that most people prefer to stay where they are and commute. It's no wonder that the roads are clogged and CO2 emissions are going through the roof.

I read somewhere that undersoil heating costs about £13,000 to operate for one game.

Yup, it's from the french 'marche'. The sledge driver is called a 'musher'

I saw a reference to the regulation some time ago and I think it was more than two clubs in the same country so on that basis he could be sold to a foreign club.

Indeed it was A mush-faker was a man who mended umbrellas.

In the Mail so it must be true: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1241186/Vincent-Pericard-tops-Alan-Pardews-shopping-list-Southampton-chase-promotion-push.html

But then they could not control who bought them, it might be an away supporter and they are supposed to control who sits where.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Very useful. But what they never take into account is that in winter this 'wasted' energy goes towards heating the house so reducing your gas bill, or whatever.

Can you link two STs so that you buy two adjacent seats for away games yet?

Every month they are falling deeper into the doggy-doos. I can't see anybody investing in them for football reasons. I saw today that West Ham might be available for £40m and even Leeds, after promotion, might be up for sale. Who is going to pay up to £100m for a club with nothing to offer?

No, of course it doesn't prove otherwise, but everybody has an agenda.

That would be the Roman road then, the shortest route between two points, although there was a branch that ran off to the west through Chandlers Ford towards Bournemouth, Bakers Drove in Rownhams is part of it.

I don't get this bit: '...administration and a huge blow to the prestige of the Premier League' Who gives a toss? (apart from Saints fans and the blue lot, that is)

Wasted food is a big issue. This was recoovered from dumpsters (skips to you and me): http://www.wastedfood.com/gallery/ The biggest culprits are the supermarkets with their strict sell-by dates and obsession with appearance of fresh produce. What are needed are more localised sales points, such as the old corner shop but unfortunately modern lifetsyle doesn't allow for it. Packaging forms a large part of the food production and sales market. Ironically, a lot of food is wasted because of poor packaging.

Chandlers Ford this morning (for Redondo Saint):

Do you mean to say that they can't arrange local-derby cup games at the start of the season?

Most people opt for cremation... (My deepest condolences to your friend)

I was walking around the harbour in Málaga once and I saw a shoal of fish alongside the quay. One of them was separated from the rest having swum into a clear plastic bag and it couldn't get out again. It was condemned to a slow death. Add that to the stuff that ends up in whales' and dolphins' stomachs and it's not a nice thought.

Don't make me laugh. It hurts when I cough.

They can still get employment. Just not with pompey.

I was on a day trip to Cairo last year and the piles of rubbish brought home to me the effects of modern packaging. Almost all of the rubbish was empty plastic drink bottles and plastic bags. 40 years ago this would all have been glass or paper.

But that doesn't mean much, we're only talking about 150 years or so. They were certainly not the hottest years ever, the earth has been warmer before and we could be entering a coooling period: http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2009/04/08/has-the-climate-recently-shifted/#more-371 When I was a kid the big worry was that the next ice age was overdue.
