  1. Not today please, season of goodwill to all Saints fans and all that.
  2. I've always said 87 points for automatic, what do I win?
  3. I love the phrase 'tuxedo football'.
  4. I'm afraid the tapes were considered more valuable than the content.
  5. Yes, yields have improved but cannot continue at these levels or the fenlands will be a dust bowl and food grown on hydroponics has lower nutritional value, or taste for that matter.
  6. You're in our thoughts, mate.
  7. Cheers! I've just had a couple of bottles and I'm feeling somewhat mellow.
  8. I don't mind not being promoted, it's just that for ever more it would be known as 'doing a Southampton'.
  9. Any photos? Preferably with FIT birds in them.
  10. Ooh, I'm all welling up and I'm getting quite moist. Good luck to them (after tomorrow), proper club, proper supporters, not many of 'em left these days.
  11. PLan A will work we shan't need a plan B, or even a plan Z.
  12. Around 20 minutes walk from the station, if you're heading east.
  13. I use a piece of masking tape, that usually gives enough grip.
  14. Of course it is, but that is what we were being told at the time.
  15. We were nowhere near self-sufficency even during the war when every scrap of land, including the parks, was being used and there was national food rationing.
  16. It will stay dry until I get back to laying my patio, then it will pour down.
  17. It doesn't need to be a big one.
  18. Only about 10% are Latin. Most of mine are Anglo-Saxon.
  19. This time last year it never even occured to me in my wildest dreams that we might even be in the playoffs, let alone promoted, so much so that I booked a cruise which covers the playoff dates. I'll be back for the final though, if needed. I'll take promotion by any way, shape or form and I wouldn't feel guilty or undeserving.
  20. Dune, I usually enjoy your posts even though they may at times be naive in the extreme, but this time you're talking ********.
  21. There is something in the League rules about every club stumping up money to guarantee parachute payments for those teams relegated to League 1 and yes, that includes our fishy friends down the road. There's money to be had from the playoffs and also traditionally the two clubs in the Wembley final make an agreement that the losing team will take all the profits from the final itself.
  22. That's save them watering the pitch then.
  23. I shall be wearing my lucky Saints keyring. God help us if I forget it. If the players ever see me without it then we're doomed.
  24. 58% of how many? I can't remember the exact figure, but it used to be held that you need about an acre and a half per person and we have a lot less than that. My figures date from a couple of decades ago and we have a lot more people in the country now.
