Whitey Grandad

Oh no. My son will be 40 next Christmas and my daughter is 36. Between them we have seven grandchildren from six months to fourteen. They are what make life worthwhile. My wife and I met in1966 when we were both sixteen and we have been married for over 42 years and we can look back over our lives with quiet satisfaction at the way they have been brought up and wonder at how quickly it all went. Enjoy every moment, good and bad, and soon you realise that your own mum and dad were right after all. Who was it who said: 'By the time I realised my dad was right, I had a son telling me that I was wrong'?

Which make did you get?

Rosie types it for him.

Only a brave man refuses a gift from the gods. I'll distract the one on the left whilst you sort out the other. Alpine_Saint will help you deal with the inevitable guilt.

Darren Potter. Just seen him score for MK Dons.

At least it saved the Police the trouble of shooting him.

Kanchelskis. Olivier Bernard.

"For all those who take the sword will perish by the sword" He was asking for trouble. He took a gun (or replica) with him in order to instil fear in those he confronted and that fear has led to his death. Divine retribution, some would call it.

He's obviously never been to Liverpool.

You can have similar problems here. If you don't follow the correct procedure the dismissal is automatically unfair.

Helium?

I rest my case.

Well nobody's paid me anything.

And I thought by 'dog' he was referring to his missus.

I'll always thank him for the two goals in the last game at the Dell.

Who he?

It was at some local planning exhibition thingy. He was deadly serious too. I would assume that a tram set would be able to climb such a gradient, after all, buses can. After some brief research: Up to 9.6%: http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/gmunden-trams-austria/ Supertrams in Sheffield are up to 10% but need all axles motored. http://www.bathtram.org/tfb/tQ02.htm The next question is 'what is the maximum gradient for the Itchen Bridge?' I think it's 'not much'.

OK, I'll handle the donations. Please make all cheques out to: 'Construct an Appropriate Saints' Home', or CASH for short.

Barry, when you say 'we', how much are you prepared to pay for this? I agree that the stadium is architecturally bland but it was also relativley cheap.

I remember talking to some local planner chappie about this and he said that it was even possible to run a single line over the centre of the Itchen Bridge. The rail spur into Hamble is still there in theory although it hasn't been used since the 1960s. This is one of those situations where people would use the system if it existed. The present rail link through to Fareham only runs hourly and is too expensive.

I think it went the same way as the Gosport tram from Fareham. The government would never fund it so the County Council gave up on the idea. Shame, what South Hampshire desperately needs is a tram/light railway network. Instead the country has been pouring money into the welfare state with very little to show for it.

How many are there now?

The tv shot from the other end of the ground would suggest that he missed the ball and hit his ribs. I guess the assistant ref had the best view.

I fully endorse all that Captain Pugwash has said. We have now done about 20 cruises (mainly P&O) totalling over 260 nights including Baltic, Mediterranean, North America and Caribbean. Make sure you go from Southampton. I assume you are looking at school holidays? That makes it more expensive. Depending on your budget you can look for a four-berth cabin which has two beds and two ceiling bunks. The cabin steward will look after lowering and replacing the bunks for you. Some people have a balcony cabin for themselves and also book an inside one directly opposite which gives them the space at minimal cost. With teenagers a ship like Aurora, which is our favourite, might be too much of a 'country hotel' for you. Ventura or Azura are ok if you don't want a promenade deck or cinema, RCI are recommended by some. We have only been as a family group with our daughter and SIL and their two toddlers who absolutely loved it. The biggest complaint from the parents is that they never see their kids. Give me a pm if you want a chat about it.

It makes no difference, 9, 19 or 90 years old nor whether anyone thinks that he deserved what he got. He got kicked in the ribs and Hazard had to go.
