Cheers

You're welcome

Now I'm thinking I might want to watch the England game tommorrow where is it being shown on the telly I Just assumed it would be on the BBC but the beeb website suggests not...is it on Sky or something?

ITV 7.30pm

Wow. Good luck to the lad. I just hope he doesn't get injured.

I may even watch it now.

When my nipper was starting to drive, we added him to his Mum's insurance on her little Fiesta which wasn't too expensive and he was allowed to build up his own NCB.

Thanks. Food for thought.

Went to an open day at VT in the late 70's. I was so impressed with the drawing office that I fell in love with TD & wanted to be a draughtsman.

Slightly off topic, but loosley related. In just over a year my eldest will be 17, he's already babbled on about driving, but the insurance will be crippling. My cunning plan, is to buy a cheap motor bike/scooter when he's 16, insure him for it, but not let him ride it (I think I may be heading for the divorce court if he did), thus earning himself a year of two of no-claims, which he can transfer to a car whenever he chooses to buy one.

Is this feasible (or even leagal)?

 

When I phoned them up to cancel they offered it to me at the rate I'd sourced. Turned them down on the principal that they shouldn't of tried to rip me off in the 1st place.

Well done you. Exactly what I do. Don't let the bastards win.

I think we need to know if they are Saints or Man U fans. Clearly if the latter there isn't a problem with them getting a "bit of a slap". Is there?

I'm being facetious.

Congrats to her.

Will we get a gold post box?

Ah, but would it be a tape, or would you use a rule? Might get a bit of a catenary bend there with a flexible tape, even with near-zero gravity.

At that distance there may be a hint of catenary in a rule.

Definitely let the junior do the travelling, although at 45p per mile, the expenses might kill the job, I think I'll let someone else work out the logistics.

I reckon 4.73 x 10 ^15 km to 3 sig figs. I took a year as 365 1/4 days which is not dead accurate but I think close enough for the sig figs in answer.

 

May have to pace it out to be sure though!

That's what I've got (4.73364x10^15 actually).

If you take the tape, I'll hold this end here.

 

MARVEL!!

As in comic

Amazed no ones mentioned Stuart Ripley yet?

Or Kerry Dixon.

Wasn't Wilde or Crouch something to do with Trant: that were advertised on the new pitchside electronic thingy on Sunday

That would be Patrick Trant.

Seems to have worked for me.

. The era when players could get away with smoking and bad diets etc is long gone now ... .

I think quite a lot of players smoke, especially foreign ones, in Italy & France it's almost their national pastime. Personally I could never understand how i) a youngster wishing to be a pro sportsman decides it's a good idea to spark-up, and ii) an established pro-sportsman chooses to smoke later into his career, Gazza for example.

is there a Winter Paralympics by the way. I'm sure there is, I just don't recall ever seeing/reading about one.

Apparently there is, it's mentioned here in Richard Whiteheads write up as he competed in it in 2006;

I went yesterday & saw an SFC union flag hanging in the corner opposite me at the goalball.

Anyone on here?

I mentioned this thread to Mrs Geezer, her top tip was don't bother with shop bought baby food. We used to cook-up extra with the sunday roast, liquidise it & freeze in ice-cube trays, defrosting as required. Everything went in, a bit of meat & all the veg. It was gobbled-up in an instant, on the rare occasions we did use the shop bought stuff, they hated it. They still love brocolli, sprouts etc.

Certainly hope so. I'm looking forward to it.

Perhaps we should give the nickname of Kendo! (Those of a certain age will know who I'm on about.)

must be getting old as I knew as soon a I saw Kendo.

Think I must be the same vintage. I remember his "unveiling".

I agree with the others. Friends of ours had their first with them untill she was 6 months old, she was having problems settling well into her teenage years. We decided we'd put out kids into their own room at about a week old, first was sleeping through at 4 weeks, 2nd at 6 weeks, neither have had any problems going to sleep. Also put them in a position where you can see them, but they can't see you, and when they are older, be strict with a bedtime routine (quite time-teeth & toilet-reading time (very important)-lights out. No messin'

Yes, man up, it's easy. Biggest tip is to make them sleep in their own room right from the start. That was the best advice we received from the midwife. Don't put too many bed clothes on them, make sure they sleep on their back or side. Enjoy the projectile vomiting....that is really spectacular when it happens!

Ha Ha I'd forgotten about that. When it's coupled with simultaneous diarrhea & p1ssing (without a nappy on) it can be awesome.

The trick is not to worry, it comes pretty naturally, just be prepared for a heap of verbal & physical abuse at the birth.

Good luck.

Ok so I'll be going to St.Mary's for the first time next Saturday and I am planning on walking there since last season I kept seeing a good number of fans walk back through Portswood which should mean it's feasible. So I was wondering if anyone (who's done it before or not) could suggest to me the best way to walk up to/from the stadium?

 

I know there's a way along the Itchen which could do it now while the sun is up for long but I'm a bit worried about doing it in Winter when most if not all of our matches will be over in the dark.

 

 

So yeah, help is appreciated.

That's the route Scally has described, and the one I use. I've never had a problem after dark, as there are plenty of others going the same way. The only problem with this route is the bloody dogsh!t on the boardwalk.
