I can't see how selling a car without MOT or SORN is illegal. Driving one may be, that is down to the buyer to check.

Sounds to me that you've given some thought to covering your tracks.

I thought Twxaco was our new african striker we'd signed on loan.

Happens to me as well, not just on The Muppet Show, but Lounge & Main board as well.

When we went top of division 1 in 1980 something, my mate cut the table from the footy echo & had it paper-clipped to the inside pocket of his crombie.

I realise your old man is joking, but would we be allowed to start a match with 10 players on the pitch & still have a full compliment of subs? I would assume not.

I really want us to go up as champions & if we should achieve promotion I'll be going mental on the pitch along with everyone else , but conversely I don't want to be in the Prem. Since we've been away, I've become increasingly disillusioned with the prem, and don't miss it one bit, the money, the players, the arrogance, the cheating & now they are on about stopping relegation/promotion. Also the cost of tickets will rocket, my kids are getting older, my youngest has just turned 11,so next season I'll have to pay for his season ticket. For myself & my eldest, this seasons tickets cost me £550, that's bound to increase if we were to go up, + paying the extra for my youngest. If we do get promoted this may be my last year as a STH.

I wasn't a fan when he came here I thought he was a bit lazy & couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo, but I'm pleased to say I've been proven wrong. I think he's one of the first on the team sheet, an he seems to be enjoying his football. I'm surprised to see he's played relatively few matches in his career, and that he has made his most appearances at Saints.

Glad to see the ref showed some common-sense when Sharpe scored yesterday. He removed his shirt to show a tribute to his son on his T-shirt & the ref didn't book him. Well played ref. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15547176.stm

You weren't alone. I thought the ref was pretty poor. He even managed to confuse the crowd at the start of the minutes silence by blowing his whistle.

Glad mini Ferguson is unhappy. I can't stand the bloke, he reminds me of a stroppy teenager being chastised, he has that cocky, slightly slack-jawed expression.

On the first day of a new job back March 1988, myself, my mate (who was instrumental in getting me the job) & 2 new colleagues went for a liquid lunch there (complete with a chilli-jacket IIRC). We were 15-20 minutes late back, I was bricking it, fortunately the boss was even later back from his lunch. My sister was the last manager of the place before it was demolished, we had several good christmas parties there, purely for family, staff & a few special punters after the diners had left. The kids loved having the run of the pub (& ball pit downstairs), whilst we had a free bar.

Was that The Hedgehog & Hogshead, originally the Style on the corner of University Rd?. I can't remember when it changed it's name but I knew it as The Hedgehog in the early 90s. Used to go there when The Frog & Frigate closed & Derek the guitarist moved to the Hedgehog. It reverted back to The Style years ago.

The cheating gits.

done my duty, he's on 52.2% now.

Damn. I must type faster.

I spotted it, 2nd word in, what's mt prize? Quality journalism.

Really? On what evidence, or is that an opinion you have formed about an elderly man who has never married?

Yes equally. These "travellers", (who evidently don't actually do any travelling) have got away with flouting the law for too long. If I had built a house, moved my family in & constructed a 20ft scaffold tower, in my back garden, without attaining planning permission, I’m bloody sure Southampton CC wouldn't take 10 years to get me to demolish it. Remember these guys who recently fell foul of the planning laws: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-15040447 I bet they would like to be treated as equally as the “travellers” and have a 10 year stay of execution.

A bit of an eccentric, but a legend in his time. Rip Sir Jimmy

It's a shame RLs volley from the edge of the box didn't go in, that would have been on to add to the list, top drawer save to keep it out thouggh.

Chappers for me as well, with Guly & RL mentioned in despatches.

That was chuffin' brilliant. Completely dominated 'boro ro most of the match. Gutted Guly didn't get the hatrick, an inch to the right & he'd have had one in about 35 minutes. The third goal was awesome, a propper team goal, Boro didn't touch the ball for about 5 minutes & what a lay-off from Rickie. We've now beaten the 2nd & 3rd teams playing well on both ocassions. Good times. Chappers motm for me (again).

I'm no legal eagle, but I don't think an employee can be sacked for being off sick, no matter how the employee was injured. I sort of speak from experience. I had the snip a few years ago & was off work for 2 days (1 for the op & 1 for recovery). My employer told me I had to take 2 days leave as it was my choice to have the op. I queried this with a barister friend, he told me that as it was elective surgery I should take the first day as leave & the second as sick, as I was unable to work. He actually said, to paraphrase "you can phone in sick with a hangover, it doesn't matter how you get sick or injured, the fact is that you are". So I would be surprised if Saints could sack a player for getting injured in his free-time. Now if he was disobeying club orders that may be a different matter.

The look on the seal face as it was dragged from the ice was a picture. It looked so dejected & resigned to its fate. There were a couple of lol moments, like the sealion & the penguin chase & the young bison being accidentally charged by the fleeing adult, he took a hell of a wallop.
