That was my response. I certainly wouldn't try to read it out in public, there would be universal ridicule and evrybody would be rolling in the aisles laughing.

www.flybe.com ? I have often passed by on our way south towing a caravan. We used to stay at Bellac. When I can face up to it we shall dedicate a day to visiting it.

Indeed, this is exactly what I have always argued. Saying 'we only expect a small crowd so we're closing over half the stadium' is the same as saying 'don't bother coming'. When I emailed David luker about this last season he said that the Kingsland was a 'large stand and expensive to open'. I also disagree about the views. Last Saturday I was sitting in row M at the Chapel end of the Itchen and my view was facing along the advertising boards behind the goal. I couldn't see a thing for the first half. Every time that there was any action the people to my right stood up to see what was happening, which only made things worse.

Concise, certainly. Precise, too.

Isn't that the gist of what I said? (I did include the link!) Edit: Ah, I see what you are saying now. My Macbook didn't show the text in bold.

I agree with you completely and I have been arguing this every time that we have an early round cup game. The Kingsland has a high proportion of long-term ST holders and the majority of them are not interested unless they can sit in or near their usual seats. They will not accept an inferior view of the game.

BBC says two yellows so yes, 1 match ban.

FA Cup rules state a minimum of £10. Charging extra on the day will not encourage people to buy in advance. Many don't know until the day if they can go. If you want to reduce the queues then speed up the selling process, by having cash only counters perhaps?

Rank stupidity. And why the £2 fine if you buy on matchday? What are they afraid of, that a big crowd might turn up?

Nah, it'll be a fix-up. One party (probably the Conservatives) will field an eejit so that the other gets a clear run.

No, strikes are outlawed in our world.

How would that help? I do agree that the system of rail privatisation is one big nonsense. How can you have competition when one train can't overtake another? The system of through-ticketing is a complete nightmare and you have the crazy situation where an operator can't fix signage to a station wall because they don't own the building.

Is that the flight that lands in Moscow?

Nothing on the OS yet.....

I've never read such wool-woofter nonsense: 'What the data shows, therefore, is not that public sector workers are overpaid, but that some private sector workers are severely underpaid.' -????? 'Labour’s increased spending also addressed workforce shortages in schools and the NHS, where more staff were needed to raise educational standards and care for an ageing population.' - neither of these has happened. I could go on all day.

If any member of my family was threatened or hurt, I'd probably inflict it myself.

It's the law of averages.

There is a small item in the Daily Mail today saying that we are going to sign him permanently in January. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1327869/Liverpool-set-reward-rising-star-Martin-Kelly-new-year-deal.html#comments

Get eaten alive by midges.

No, that's king prawn with ginger and water chestnuts.

Is Mao dead? He's been very quite lately. All I can think of is Choo en Lai, but I suspect that was some time ago.

I must have slept through it. Did it rain?

I'm very pleased for you both. Have they found some other mug for Jockland?

The last couple have been very good, to be fair.

St. Mary's is more than adequate for the next few years and if we succeed beyond our wildest dreams then it can be expanded.
