What like GMTV and Blackpool Zoo only recruiting keepers who are 6ft 2 plus to look after the giraffes and elephants on health and safety grounds?

Met him once. He was the patron of Rupert's Runners Muscular Dystrophy charity, and had the chance for a brief chat and had my photo taken with him at the end of the London Marathon in 1992. Nice guy and genuinely one of the great commentators. RIP Harry.

Absolutely! Thank god they're far enough away just to post bilge on the internet and not spout utter bilge at SMS. Oh well, on to my first trip to Wimbledon.

Well said! I am heartily sick of the T W A T in Jocko land and the T W A T in Von Trapp territory,

We did. It was the first outing for the Admiral thick/thin stripes kit worn in mid to late 70s. The one you'll always picture Stevie Williams and Nick Holmes in.

Penne arabiatta tonight.

No of course not. Just musing more than anything else. Personally I think AP will takes Saints forward, but there is always the nagging suspicion that his heart is in it until something else comes along. What's Coppell doing these days?

Ok! Not big into conspiracy theories, but Warnock to QPR leaves a vacancy at???? NC ****es AP off by not letting him speak to Palarse. Spiritual home and all that? Don't know what to think. Living in the Reading/Wokingham area not many have a good word to say about AP and loyalty. Hope this is all about 2+2 = 5, but would not surprise me if AP not at Saints next Saturday. One of those gut reactions. Not ITK.

I lived in a new house in North Baddesley in 1964, and the Bedes lea didn't even exist then!

I concur

Sorry but, Alpine and Glasgow what the F U C K is wrong with you both?

I tend to agree with a lot of this also. Surely it is in the nature of web forums that all views tend to be expressed. Personally I am more than a little irritated by the negativity of the likes of Alpine and the constant whinging of Glasgow Saint and the utter ******** spouted by Nineteen Canteen,(in my humble opinion of course) but as long as they stick within the rules they deserve the right to express themselves even if people suspect their motives for doing so and disagree with what they say. I believe it's something to do with that fundamental right of freedom of speech and expression.

Enjoy yourself George. I sincerely hope a divine wind (Drew Brees) blows across Florida tonight. And yes! Who Dat! Also OWTSGMI especially for Saturday.

HMS Speaker - Bogue Class Aircraft Carrier part of the British Pacific Fleet. http://www.royalnavyresearcharchive.org.uk/ESCORT/Galleries/SPEAKER_Gllery.htm My dad joined up just before VJ Day. he was peacetime FAA. When he was at sea he was on this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Eagle_%28R05%29

Going back to Egypt in August. Staying at the Sunrise Royal Makadi Bay Hotel. Excellent AI plus free a-la-carte (bookable in advance) restaurants. Going back to do a few of the things we didn't get around to doing this year. Boat trip, camel ride in desert etc. Very relaxing. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g297550-d594132-Reviews-Sunrise_Royal_Makadi_Resort-Makadi_Bay_Red_Sea_and_Sinai.html

Has St George exploded with excitement! Who Dat!

Always thought it rather depressing. Mind you my memories of Eastleigh go back a bit. Spent first two years of my secondary education running back and forth to lessons across Leigh Road from the Chamberlyne Road Annexe to the main part of Toynbee. From what I can remember there were bits of the school all over the town. Random Science labs miles from the rest of the school. Add to that PE lessons at Fleming Park and swimming at Pirellis we always seemed to be moving somewhere. Looking back on it it was absurd to bus all us kids living in Baddesley to Eastleigh.

There's a seven foot six snow **** at the entrance to our cul-de-sac.

You may be lucky on the Algarve. Love the area around Carvoeiro. Go east for Benagil Praia da Gale and Praia da Marinha. Go west for Alvor and Meia Praia. The latter is one big mother of a beach. However given the choice I'd probably plump for Egypt for reliable, affordable Feb sun. Look at El Gouna, Makadi Bay and Marsa Alam as alternatives to Sharm. If going AI choose hotel carefully!

Started about 15 minutes ago here in Wokingham. Not heavy at the moment but is laying because there has been no thaw here during the day.

I loved Uncharted 2. but it was too short and good though the online is, us of more mature years have neither time, reactions nor inclination to perfect our skills against those more youthful and obsessesed. So my game of the year award has to be split between two games which are very similar in many ways. inFamous along with Assassins Creed 2. I can't separate them. I thoroughly enjoyed inFamous and am really enjoying AC2.

Its the School holidays, so fortunately no daily trip along A329 to Bracknell and back. Bad enough on Friday tbh. Heart traffic just said that M4 blocked both ways from J12 to M25, M3 from M25 to J8. All A roads a nightmare in Reading, Wokingham, Newbury , Bracknell and Basingstoke. Drive carefully Poshie - watch out for the idiots and I hope you and your fella get home safely.

Masses of the stuff coming down in Wokingham. Rained around lunchtime and started to melt the lying snow, ice and frozen slush. About 1:30 it turned to snow and it's been going on for over 4 hours.

2-3 inches in Wokingham, plenty of entertainment on A329M. Bloke went past me doing 60 clipped the slush and started doing ballerina impressions and ended up in a ditch.
