Whitey Grandad

Nothing stuck up front last night when we lumped the ball forward. Connolly kept trying little flick-ons which are never going to work more than once in a season.

Thanks, that's the first time that I've laughed since kick-off last night.

I agree with the first part but last night the second was certainly not true.

Yup, there was a big gaping hole at right back.

Absolutely correct. He has found his level, and it is League 1.

Scrummer!

Why not place one on me not to score, whilst you're at it?

That's very interesting, thanks. It would appear to me that the ship was not under control when it was grounded, rather it was blown ashore by the north-easterly wind. It's a shame it couldn't have hit sand and mud instead of rocks. I notice that it is not far from the 'no anchoring' symbol.

I'd be disappointed now with only a play-off place, but at the start of the season I would have been delighted.

Brackets are good.

Their routine doesn't settle down until they are over 40, and even the some never do.

A royalty is much cheaper than a republic. The cost of presidential elections alone would be more than the current Civil List. And do you really want a president Prescott, Kinnock, Brown, Livingstone or even Portillo?

Some telesales companies have a system which dials several numbers at once and the caller picks up the first one to answer. These can be very annoying. It may not be this but if your problem continues I would call the BT operator and complain.

Looking at those plots it would seem that they were asking for trouble. Sneeze and you're going to hit something.

The Mint (and the treasury) hope that you don't spend it but keep it in the drawer. We've still got a collection of Churchill crowns, jubilee half crowns and god knows what else. As for commemorative coins, I rather fancy a New Zealand gold kiwi: http://www.nzmint.com/bullion/products/gold-and-silver-coins#Gold-coins

True, it was worth it for that reason alone, if nothing else.

I'm sure the responsibility will lie with the sellers, not the buyers.

Have you considered organ donation? You don't have to take them all at once.

There's nothing better than going for a tramp in the Alps.

Please don't use the term 'boiler engineer'. What you are looking for is someone who can fix boilers, not someone who designs them.

Alpinist!

The NHS is an emergency service so I feel that if there is a serious health issue then they should step in, but should seek reimbursement from those responsible. I'm not sure how urgent these repacments are. There are an awful lot of people waiting for new hips, amongst other things.

The name for Eastleigh station was originally Bishopstoke but the Railway changed this to avoid confusion with Basingstoke. One of my suppliers is a metalbasher. He and his family (Frith) used to word in the engine-building sheds - now the bus station. He says that the noise was so loud that if you wanted to talk to someone you went up to them, cupped your hands over their ear and shouted into it. He's now partially deaf, of course.

There's a bunch of three out in a garden here in Hamble. They've been like that for a week.

Keep 'em coming!
