It's lucky there was an artist on hand to capture the event on canvas.

That makes a lot more sense.

Probably true, especially as he left the band in '94 (Paul Rodges has been back since 2009).

Wow. Brilliant stuff, but can you imagine the carnage if something had gone wrong.

Since we got relegated from the prem they haven't removed them in the family section. I took 3 into the Cardiff match, bag was searched as usual, the steward asked if I had any cans, I told him just bottles - no probs.

I think the naval ensign (the one with the rays) has the sun disk offset towards the pole, the old imperial flag had the sun central to the flag (again with the rays). It can't be seen from the picture which type it is. As it happens, I was at the game last night with a WW2 veteran who was actually tortured by the Japanese, he had no problem with the flags being there, it was him that pointed them out to me.

Based on last nights performance I doubt Connolly has much of a future here, I thought he was poor & ineffective yesterday, and will be a way down the pecking the order once the others are fit/bedded in.

I think NA is more than capable of giving a "good" interview, but I believe he likes to keep his cards close to his chest. I'm not really bothered about what he has, or has not, said. As far as I'm concerned it's what happens on the pitch that is the important thing.

At half time I thought we'd be lucky to get a draw, but at the end I was disappointed we didn't win. teriffic second half, Puncheon played the best I've seen him play for a long time . From what I could see KD was held down when they scored & we should've had at least one other pen, when Lalanna (I think) went over in the 6 yard box & the ref gave a goal kick. Thought Lee looked promising, lt looks like he got a bit of pace about him.

Lowe was just incompetant (& possibly egotistical), not deceitful or crooked.

WTF it's my son.

Does a 15 year old count as a child, or a concession?

I should have read what you'd written. The park opposite the coffee shop is Watts Park, with the Cenotaph in it. I think the Titanic Engineers memorial is in East Park (next to where the bird avery stood).

IIRC wasn't that a gyratory system? I was told it was so called because it had six roads coming into it, any idea if that's true?

Was that what that small brown timber clad building was? The park behind the coffee shop is called East Park, the one that used to have the bird avery in it. I remember you could give the minah birds money through little slots cut in the cage.

I sed to collect loads of junk when I was a kid, badges, matchboxes, stamps, PG Tips cards, sadly I still have them all in the loft . All I actively collect now is Queen Fan Club magazines & Saints matchday programmes, I have one for every game I ever went too - with one exception - that being MLTs testimonial.

All the parks in the city centre are still there. I recall the IB at the top of the precinct, so you would need to go down Pound Tree Rd to get to the parks, Palmerstone is on the left & Houndwell on the right.

You're right about the name of the shop, but everyone I knew/know always called it "the coffee shop". I loved the smell, but I never went in there, I guess it was the ancestor of Starbucks, Costa etc.

Or let them through his legs or bounce off his chest ala Bart?

Sounds like worms to me, more active at night & you probably wont see them yourself in the mirror, they are only about 2-3mm long, get your wife/lover/sex slave to take a look in the dark (with a torch). If you have them, every one in the family will need to be treated, the bed linnen will need to be changed daily, as will towels. Aaah, the joys of having kids - enjoy. :lol: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/threadworms/Pages/Introduction.aspx
