I really wouldn't believe a word they tell you, they are not experts at anything except selling, In fact I'm sure I'm correct when I say they don't need any professional qualifications to be one. When we were viewing houses to buy, I pointed out to the EA that the flank wall was bulging because the wall ties had failed, as a Structural Engineer I've a vague idea what I'm talking about. His reply was "you don't need wall ties" - priceless.

You're probably right, if I were a professional sportsman, sadly I never made it out of the Junior leagues, so that makes me someone that goes to a match to be entertained. To be honest I'm not enjoying it a great deal at the moment, and I don't really get entertained by van Persie scoring a hatrick, Fellani making us look like mugs & our defence being ripped to shreds every week.

There was a piece about this on tv recently, possibly the One Show. Only in Britain could we be so amateurish, it would make an ideal plot for an Ealing comedy.

Aren't they the tear off strips at the bottom of a bill, that you fill out & hand in at the bank with your payment? I don't think they are of monitory benifit to yourself.

Wrap up warm chaps, it's forcast to be chilly at the weekend.

But if this place is such a cess-pit why on earth would you want to move back here? You clearly despise the place.

Wow. There are many things wrong with both the BBC & Britain, but to call them both "cess pits" is plainly ridiculous, there are many countries a lot worse off than our own, where you can't walk the streets in relative safety, or can't express views without the fear of a bullet in the back of the head, these places are cess-pits. I will bet any money, that if life goes tits-up in sunny Austria, you'd be on the first plane back claiming your rights to use the NHS & have your kids educated for free, then complaing that you had to wait to see the Doc & there are more than 20 kids in the class. Sometimes Alps, you talk utter sh!te.

Nothing wrong with a bit of gallows humour, we won two world wars off the back of it.

It's always good to have an ambition.

What concerns me is the hardening of Adkins attitude. He appears to have become inflexible as the “we play 4-3-3” comment illustrates. Unlike some, I don’t purport to be a football expert & to be honest the intricacies of differing systems is sometimes beyond me. However, even a thicky like me can see than if it aint working, something needs to change. I worried that his intransigence, will see him out of a job. Evolve or die. Having said that is it 433 that’s doing for us, or is it a case that the defence isn’t up to the job.

Don't understand why Gazza was dropped in favour of Boruc. However, it does illustrate one of two possibilities, 1) We have three inept keepers 2) We have inept defence. Personally, for me it's the second one. Maybe, just maybe KD isn't quite as bad as made out by some. It matters very little how good the keeper is, if the defence is sh!te, you will leak goals. Unfortunately it's always the keeper that kops the flak.

ffs

Ultimately, it's your responsibility, of course you can ask the builder to organise it, but don't just assume they have/will do. It's your property after all. Also I assume whatever this wall is supporting, will still need supporting after it's gone, this would more than likely need a steel, which will need designing. No matter what a builder will tell you, it' not just a case of looking at it and saying "It just needs a bit of 8x4 rsj mate".

Same people, I believe.

M J Adams, in the FMB, & is local (Bassett). Did some work for me a few years ago, was quick, efficient & a good price. Btw, have you sought Building Regs approval, or are you wanting the builder to use a Bulding Notice, either way, it would be wise to get a Structural Engineer to take a look before letting a builder loose with a sledge hammer, I believe to have Tim's details.

Rip and ......ahem.....thanks.

To add insult to injury, a Southampton based firm of Structural Engineers are designing either this place or the Passenger Terminal.

No I've definitely never had issue eating breakfast but I've had issues running a couple of hours after a meal, so I now run before I eat. but a banana etc would probably be ok. Cheers.

Ok chaps, I need a bit of advice, as I mentioned I've ducked out of the 10 mile & I'm doing the 5k, which, Spurs match aside, that was the right decision, as when I get to about 2.5-3 miles my knee is shot & stays shot for about 5 days, 10 miles would have been near on impossible, I digress though. The advice I need is when to eat breakfast. I usually train at about 6-7 pm & haven't eaten since about 1.30 pm. The run is about 10 ish. Will I have problems eating a light brekky, say a couple of bits of toast, a couple of hours before race time?

That was probably the most incredible thing I've seen, for me, it was similar to watching the first ever Space Shuttle landing, and to land on his feet was awesome, I fully expected him to land in a crumpled heap. I nearly didn't get to see it as my wife dished up tea as he was running through his checks. Myself & no.2 son wanted to watch it live, the others capitulated, so there were four of us huddled in our tiny computer room with roast dinner on our laps (almost literally in the case of my youngest). It's what I imagine it was like for the moon landing, all huddled around a small screen. With regards to the chute opening, it said on the Red Bull streaming that his visor had misted, and he was unsure of his exact altitude, so he deployed his chute early. I hadn't realised until this morning that the Comms man at mission control was none other than Joe Kittenger the last crazy guy to jump from space, and also yesterday was the 65th anniversary of the first manned supersonic flight, nice synergy I think.

Sorry mate 'twas too subtle for me.

Personally I'd have given it to Hart whilst he still has an umblemished reputation.

Never been to a match then! As Lighthouse, I went to the local comp & played rugby, my sons also go to the local comp & play, both at school & for a club, they are coached (amongst others) by a kitchen fitter, a groundworker, an ex-squaddie and bloke that installs hoists for the disabled, none of which went to Eton .

I'm wonder if his drug taking caused his cancer?

He must have enjoyed it, he finished it. Did no one really notice? I reckon they (the parents) thought it would be amusing to give the kid some booze & when he became ill got all panicky and blamed the restaurant.
