Sheaf Saint

Think yourself lucky. Here in Sheffield you can only put paper and card in the recycling bin and it only gets emptied once a month. It's lucky for me that I live right near a supermarket that has a recycling centre so I can take all of my plastic, cans etc... without needing to use the car, but it's still a shockingly bad service considering how much my council tax comes to per month.

Yeah cos we've been getting these big freeze-overs every year for the last couple of decades or so haven't we. Oh, hang on......

I've been accused of many things in my time, but being middle class is not one of them. And who the hell is Kenneth Barlow?

My GF drove up to her parent's in Cumbria today. They live in a tiny little hamlet in the middle of nowhere a few miles outside Kendal with single-track roads as the only access. Just had a txt from her to say she is stuck right near their house - car won't grip enough to get up a hill - and that her dad has got one of their neighbours who is a farmer to go and rescue her with his tractor!

I remember going with a mate to one of the midnight showings of this at the cinema at Ocean Village some time in the mid-90s during their 'banned' season. The problem we both had was that we had both already seen Repossessed - the spoof with Leslie Nielsen - and it was so similar (even had the original actress playing Nancy) that we just couldn't take it seriously. I couldn't really see why it had originally been banned but then I guess audiences are a lot more desensitised to those sort of things nowadays compared to the 70s. There was only one bit that I thought would have come across as particularly disturbing, even though I wasn't bothered by it myself, and bearing in mind there is no way that i can describe the scene on a family forum, I will let you use your imagination as to which part I am referring to.

It's been a lovely sunny day here in Sheffield. Still quite a lot of snow around from yesterday's dump though.

Asking what is my favourite christmas song is like asking what is my favourite sexually transmitted disease. If I absolutely had to choose one that I don't mind it would be The Pogues' Fairytal of New York. Can't bear the rest of them. It's not because I'm a grump who hates christmas, it's just that I am admittedlky a bit opf a music snob and they are invariably just cheesy crap.

I started watching this film but didn't stick with it because I felt no emotional connection with the lead character. Nicholas Cage is another one of those actors who has somehow managed to make a massive name (and fortune) for himself despite being extremely one-dimensional and actually a bit wooden.

Anyway, happy Yuletide (which starts today) to those who don't celebrate christmas.

Which is why he said after today

Let's look at it objectively.... We know Leeds are a very good side (easily the best in this division) and it was always going to be a very tough game. We know that our CB pairing is not as strong as we would like it to be so to only concede one goal against the league-leaders is, I think, very praiseworthy. A bit disappointed that we couldn't gtet at least one goal but it sounds like we gave them a real run for it and had them hanging on in injury time. To know that we gave them a real go and were only very narrowly beaten is heartening. Will be interesting to see how the Leeds fans saw it.

Bugger!

Double sub. Beckford going off!

Half time

It could just as easily motivate them to push on more.

Free header for Leeds, over the bar

Bugger. Why couldn't you have posted that 5 minutes earlier nefore I finally accepted defeat and signed up to Saints Player? :mad:

It doesn't work Not for me anyway. Is anybody else having any joy with it?

Still no commentary though

I found this... http://www.streamingan.net/?ida=4939/watch-leeds-united-vs-southampton-live-streaming-online-free-full-video-December-19-2009 Just waiting til KO to find out if it works or not

Indeed. Some scholars believe his birthday is in april, whereas others say september. Nearly all are agreed that it definitely wasn't december 25th. It's just that the christian church didn't like the idea of the world's favourite festival being a pagan one so they hijacked it for themselves.

That was his re-birth (and if you believe that then you are a poor, deluded idiot - but let's not turn this into a theological debate!)

Well that's annoying. I called at about 5:50 to be told that there will be no sales to visiting fans on the day and that the tickets had been taken off sale at SMS so there is now no way I can get a ticket. I had to wait until today when I got paid, I decided not to buy over the phone this morning in case the game got called off cos of the weather, and now I can't go unless I buy a ticket on the day in the Leeds end, which I'm not sure I want to do. Still, I seem to be a curse on the team anyway, the only game I have managed to watch all season is the Brighton game and look what happened there!

I appreciate this may be the worng forum to be making such statements, but yes there are. Especially when you are the only Saints fan in a workplace full of Weds/Utd/Barnsley fans.

Only a small percentage of them did in all fairness.
