Is there any better way to spend a hot, sunny afternoon?

I love this guy. I thought he was great first time around, now I know he is great. Fantastic player, a little over enthusiastic some times, but plays with passion, and you can't fault that. Unlucky not to score today. I seem to remember that his Mrs is a bit tasty too!

He left us with some gems. Rip.

I'm not so sure his wage demands will be particularly high, surely getting a low wage (in football terms) is better than not getting a wage, as he is currently. I agree with others that if he if fit enough & his attitude is right, he would be a good back-up for Lambert.

Bloody ridiculous. I can't believe how bitter some people have become. I'm not sure how asking people to pay their way in life can leave one bloke open to such vitriol. As far as I have seen NC has done nothing but good for this club. I've enjoyed the best 2 years of SFC that I can remember in a very long time. I hope NC doesn't waste his time reading these forums as it would appear their are some very bitter, petty & ungrateful people around. Markus didn't need to throw his millions our way, but the fact he did is down to NC. If it wasn't for NC & ML we'd have some bloke who still lives his mum in-charge & I've no doubt we'd be in League 2, not pushing for promotion to the prem. Some of the mong supporters this club have are frankly an embarrassment. Go & support Portsmouth, you deserve each other.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he persuade ML to part with £15 million or so to buy the club?

Bearsy & SFCDan. Just click on the "View Poll Results" button & it tells you.

You've got a stalker - be very careful

It's taken from Saturdays matchday programme, the Mirror this morning did the same.

That pic was my favourite. Can someone post it back up?

Whatever you choose, make sure the initials don't spell anything contentious. For instance I used to work with Timothy Ian Tonner. It is common place for draughtmen to initial their drawings, Tim would only use TT.

Probably not as much as you thing. We've paid more than about £35-40 to have a standard room (not landing or stairs) carpeted. They are bloody quick as well, never taken more tha 30 mins.

Bloody brilliant. I felt the score flattered us a little, they did miss 2 sitters, hit the post & have one cleared off the line, but so what. I'm enjoying being a Saints fan.

Took my nieces today, both U11 & got the tickets for free with my season ticket. Will probably do the same for a some of my sons mates in a couple of weeks for his birthday.

Easy, 1919. The Police are currently banned from taking strike action under the Police Act 1996, and have been banned from striking since 1919.

Just heard the latest news on the radio, no news really, DS is having a scan today, don't know when he will be ready to play etc etc.

It's attached by bridges, which pass over water. The bridges are man made, therefore geographically it is an island. It would only take a couple of medium sized explosions to cast them adrift.

********, that's going to screw up my kids rugby.

I admire you guys, it's not a job I'd want to do at any level. My point is that the more dialogue (dare I say it even banter) that a ref has with the players, the more they respect & respond to him. I played parks football from the age of 18 to about 35 & the refs that got the least hassle were the "friendlier", less aloof types. I'm sorry to say that some are on a power-trip and come across as complete c()cks. Also they generally bugger off after a match, with hardly a word to anyone. When My kids got involved in rugby about 8 years ago & I got dragged kicking & screaming into the vets team, whilst the standard of reffing is no better than parks football (ie they miss a lot & get things wrong), they will give the required signal, and generally reinforce it with "No12, you can't use hands in the ruck". It helps justify their position, whether it's the correct decision or not. Then after the game the ref can usually be found in the clubhouse, with the players from both teams, having a bevvy or two. The best footy ref I encountered, was actually partially blind. When he missed something once, a player turned to him and said "are you blind ref", his reply was somthing like "yes I am in my left eye, I'll give what I can see".

One of the other differences between rugby & football refs is that rugby refs will always justifty a decision. My experience of football refs is that they are generally aloof and won't enter into dialogue with a player, many a time I've heard footy refs come out with "I'm the ref, my descision is final", it's unhelpful & often inflammatory.

Not quite a cosmopoliton as the above offerings, but myself, Mrs Geezer & the little geezerlets were holidaying on the IOW. We had some spare time so thought we would go to Fishborne to find the Roman Villa. We couldn't find it on the map & when we got to Fishborne there were no brown tourist signs to help us. So I decided to ask someone for directions, only to be told I'd need to get the ferry & go to FISHBOURNE, Sussex.

Found this: http://www.yourdrivinglicence.co.uk/what-happens-if-driving-licence-has-expired.html So your lady friend could be facing a £1000 fine is she drives without a valid licence.

1) Man on the moon - I'm too young to remember (I was 2 at the time) 2)Live Aid 3)Death of Diana - Didn't affect me, but a lot seemed upset about it. 4) 9/11 5) Berlin wall and the genaral fall of communism in Europe 6) Interweb - although not really an "event" as such, which is why I snuck it it at the end.

I see what you did there.
