Crab Lungs

I'll always remember Ken Monkou telling me in a deserted Dell car park that if "you don't ask, you don't get" with a big beaming smile. :-o I only asked for an autograph

Hmmm, sounds similar to what many people say. Allegedly the US public had a rather indifferent attitude towards the wars raging overseas, a kind of 'it's not our war' mentality. Then of course there is also the viewpoint that a war is 'good' for the economy, though I do not know enough to comment intelligently about that theory. From what I've read and seen, the US did do quite a lot provoke the Japanese if I was to believe some theories. And, worringly, when you do look at it from this somewhat morbid perspective sometimes you get the feeling that there is always an ulterior motive beyond our knowledge...

One for the conspiracy theorists. You may have heard of this terminology before. The only way I can describe it is that it is allegedly a government ploy to turn the world into a police state. Create the problem, generate a reaction (outrage) from the populace and then provide an already mooted solution (approval because of the incident). Case in point was at the turn of the year. Rumours about that airports will be trialling body scanners, which some people believe to be intrusive. Within days of the news of the scanners, some nutter trys and blows up his pants on an airplane. Then, strangely enough, a solution is offered - body scanners! Now, because of this incident body scanners will become a mandatory thing (as if they weren't already - the were already on order!) You may or may not agree with the thinking behind this theory but having listened to alot of Alex Jones' (prisonplanet.com) shows recently it has certainly got me thinking. Whilst he is notably vociferous with his tirades, it does make you think - what if this is how governments act? What if there are agendas beyond our own knowledge? The example above was one of many and I'm sure many of you on here will have heard of many similar incidents which could be categorised as 'Problem, reaction, solution' - manufactured problems to create hysteria amongst the public so that governments can push their ideas and plans through - but how many of you believe it? FWIW, anything that makes the public safer is a great idea but is there more behind what we are commonly told? Over to you, theorists!

Oh great... fly out next Monday... :-o

I really hope this is the start of the very last, suckering breaths from a despicable, disgusting club.

Bloody Radio Solent.... they're even making out that Portsmouth are like some sort of downtrodden, hard-done by sickly child "fighting against the odds" No, BBC RS... it's all their own making... ****ing skates...

Charlton fans are amongst the most deluded fans in the country, alongside Pompey... so it would be sweet to beat them.

haven't seen her yet but i'm going to make the generalisation that she has orange skin and little between her ears?

Damn, how do you explain that!?

That UFO footage is insane! Thanks for that...

Now that is clever, cost effective marketing.

Interesting... though I thought you were based in Spain? Or am I getting you mixed up with someone else?

Oh yes, I have to... Glad you're on board, Scott.

Working for a social networking company...

prob best I email you if you've got a spare 5-6 hours...

Sadly, young Pete, not everything is smooth running in life. How is your leg? PS: Back from Spain now, jacked WW in...

Why the feck do they always reiterate that they are a 'true footballing city' ? lmao...

SHAMELESS PLUG... Hope you don't mind Dear all After a 2 year hiatus, I have almost finished rebuilding 'FC Santos' - a football team I used to enthusiastically play for before injury/motivation/relocation arised. The home/away kits, training equipment, potential sponsors and players have been sourced, as has all the paperwork. It's fair to say we're almost there. However, whilst we have sought to 'professionalise' the club as much as possible, there are still a few loose ends that need to be tied up before the end of the season. Most important of which is the position of first team manager (or football management consultant, whichever title you prefer!) So, before I go regional with my advertisement I would like to offer the position to anyone who might be interested in taking up the role for next season. Traditionally this is a thankless position that requires a lot of time, effort and management. However, we've devised a unique set up which allows the manager to just go ahead and 'manage' and 'coach' the team whilst all administration duties are shared between the chairman, secretary and treasurer. From an organisational perspective, it's pretty easy going - we've just got to find the right person to take us forward on the pitch. The team (pending readmittance) will be playing in the Meon Valley Football League for 2010-11 season and will be based in Hamble. Most games are Sunday afternoon kick offs (2pm) so if you like your 'Super Sunday' games on Sky it'll probably be a turn off for you. FC Santos currently have 16-18 exisiting squad members though with a couple of additions to it we could really achieve something next season. They're all good lads and the overwhelming consensus is that they wish for the club to source a manager who comes from outside our 'clique' or 'circle of friends' so that is what I am doing right now... putting it out there! There are very few pre-requisites for the position... Previous coaching/management experience is preferential but not essential. The basic requisites are pretty simple, really. If you feel you could commit one Thursday evening and a Sunday towards the football club and truly relish the challenge of managing your own team. Serious applications only please.... I know what you lot are like. There are a few more details to follow but these are the basics for now. For more information or to register an interest, please email: club@fc-santos.co.uk *** We are also recruiting players for next season, though the manager will obviously determine where he feels the team needs strengthening. We intend to have trials during pre-season (July/August) so if you'd like to be kept informed as to when these take place, please also email: club@fc-santos.co.uk

I'm sure Christer Warren had a pop somewhere local, non-league, Dorset way too...

Brilliant summary... +1
