Whitey Grandad

Are you sure of that? The bus driver I spoke to said it was the first time that he could remember.

To be fair, the original suggestion was winning the title, not just promotion, and I feel that our squad is three players light. Injuries and suspensions are inevitable.

Great result. There's no point worrying about other teams. If we keep getting results then the top of the table will follow.

If they're celebrities, how come I've never heard of any of them?

Not just that, it puts up the charges for everybody else who pays what they owe.

Hire Purchase, buying something on an agreed payment scheme. It was all the rage before credit cards and is still widely used for large purchases such as cars, although there are many variants called all sorts of things.

No, the Bank Holiday is tomorrow.

It was on their website but it was very well hidden. I took the train from Chandlers Ford but on the way to the station I saw four people waiting for a bus at the Central Precinct so I was able to tell them the sad news.

Be philosophical. Don't think about it.

That's not completely true. Several of us asked the bus drivers on Tuesday what was going to happen yesterday. One said he had no idea and the other said it was the first time that there would be no buses on New Year's Day.

... and then you're dead. I know exactly how you feel, SSNortham, Sometimes it seems that you are carrying the whole of society on your shoulders. We are grossly overtaxed and overworked and all you get are comments like 'it's easy for you, at least you've got a job', or 'there's always someone worse off than you'. If only we could keep what we earned for ourselves, and maybe a cup of tea once in a while.

45) 7, Atomic Number of Nitrogen

48- C N A, 24 Y A Chernobyl Nuclear Accident, 24 Years Ago ?

31) The 1 P C (D or N D) This must be something to do with Deal or No Deal. I suggested: 'The 1 P Club' but it does not seem to have been accepted. Are there any experts on the subject out there?

The tennies?

Does it match your ankle tag?

Stay at home and see the new year in with a bang!

Very disappointing, I'm sure, but the same goes for all the other brave souls that drove there. Who is going to refund them?

Do you mean tomorrow? For a moment it was panic all round.

Not memories of them, but when I used to work at the IBA at Crawley we used to hire the tennis courts at Heath House (where the Dockers used to live) at lunchtime. There was an indoor swimming pool alongside which was decorated in traditional 1950s kitsch, complete with bar and turquoise tiling and had once been the scene of riotous partying. If the ladies were not around we would finish after the games with a spot of skinny-dipping.

That could be a plan. Sign all the good players from all our promotion rivals. Simples.

Just a reminder peeps... there will be no bus services on Saturday, so it's train, car or walkies.

I thought pawns were in chess ??? Oh I get it now

Absolutely. How can they complain about a small squad when they have players out on loan?

Either that or he's been reading these pages
