Do you mean 'invest' or do you mean 'subsidise'? I see precious little scope for a return on investment.

That's a bit more than I was prepared to pay to be honest.

That's a good point. I forgot about renewing my membership.

For a moment there I thought it was the start of a joke 😒

"Hoist with his own petard" is a quote from Hamlet. In this instance a Petard is a small explosive device, a type of bomb. The name ultimately derives from the French for fart, as you have said.

You have to ask yourself 'who kicked whom'

More like League one.

Not a penalty. Foul to South Africa. It was their defender that got kicked.

For the benefit of clarity, I wasn't being serious.

We only had ten minutes to prepare for it.

The punishment was excessive.

Dad abuse.

The only time that they don't take a touch first is when they're in plenty of space andvthey ping the ball straight back to the defence.

He's a solid if unspectacular upper league player. He plays the way that he's told to play. He would be a very useful addition but it all depends on what attributes our manager decides that he needs. Who else have you got?

I am so relieved that I closed my business in Hamble and don't have to travel there any more. Local democracy overridden by corporate greed.

Rockall would be more suitable.

I have a through lounge/diner/conservatory and a few years ago I had an air conditioner installed in the conservatory. If I keep two doors closed I can cool down most of my downstairs. Last night I slept downstairs on my settee. Woke up about 06:30 for the third time.

My little sister was born there in 1955. And my mother took three driving tests there before giving up driving. My dad worked for the railways so we often went there or through there. LNER stands for 'Late and Never Early Railway'

They're not fixtures. They're a timetable.

We'll be calling him Tender Eckert next.

Just as long as they're wearing an Eastleigh shirt.

Would that be Ben Gunn?

Is anyone secretly hoping that he gets injured?

We've all been in training.
