  1. Never reply to any unsolicited emails. If you do, they will know that yours is a valid one and may use it for nefarious purposes.
  2. I had an apicoectomy last year, and then when they had a closer look the tooth was broken and had to come out anyway. It's the bit of the stitch inside the gum that dissolves. Mine started falling out during the second week. The part of the stitch inside your mouth will stay in one piece. Normally you can't help fiddling with your tongue until they fall out.
  3. Of course, if Brighton turn over Watford on Saturday then their cup run will seriously derail their promotion campaign.
  4. Well they've certainly found the magic formula for this league. I went to Dean Court last Saturday to try and see what it is about these teams that gets them all the points. The style of play was completely different from ours. The ball was played out smartly from the back and the whole pace of the game was noticeably quicker. There was very little hoofball and neither side seemed to try to play posession football. I think our style is more suited to the Championship, whenever we get there.
  5. Well, that depends on who is leaving, and we could very well be without Lallana and Barnard for quite a few games. Having seen the goals from Saturday, I really think it's time to look at another goalkeeper.
  6. That would be nice
  7. Ah, happy days.
  8. Indeed. So it all comes down to the referee. If we get a Premiership luvvie-duvvie then we are in the doggy-doos.
  9. Nah, once they score four then Ferguson will tell them to ease up. He has far too much respect for us as a football club.
  10. It's because of the credit crunch. The lenders want to be sure that they can recover their money even if house prices fall by 20%, or even more.
  11. It's perfectly normal for Saints' fans.
  12. The only treatment for ankles is rest. Initially an ice pack - frozen peas are good, but wrap them in towelling. Later when the inflammation has gone down you can try some warmth. I'm afraid it's never going to be 100%, but you should be able to walk without a limp.
  13. It is the duty of every taxpayer to pay the minimum that they can. If you feel the need to help your fellow citizens, then there are plenty of charities and other voluntary organizations.
  14. Try to think of it as rent. When house prices start going back up again it will all look happier.
  15. But does 'not taking any money out of the club' also mean 'not charging extortionate interest on any loans' ?
  16. The money is paid to the pension company net of 20% basic tax, so if you want to pay in £1000, you only have to give them £800 and the pension company gets the other £200 from HMRC. If you pay %40 tax then you claim the other %20 back through your tax return.
  17. Indeed, the only one?
  18. And the VAT - if they choose to hand it over.
  19. But they would have got better seats
  20. Anything's better than the crap that's on now. (Wasn't the quote from Blackadder?) Edit: no, of course it wasn't. I really must wake up earlier.
  21. 'Personal reasons' being that he's personally not up to the job?
  22. But you might just have typed '****' instead of '****'
  23. Thanks, I'll let them know tomorrow.
  24. Indeed. I know someone who wants to go but can't make the Carlisle game. They are happy to buy a linked ticket for any other home game.
  25. I was talking last night to somebody who had a ticket for the Charlton game and did not know that the game had been moved to April. Had I not said anything she would have turned up next Tuesday to find the stadium closed. I wonder how may others there are like her?
