Here's one: I seem to recall from my goalkeeping days, the 6 second rule, ie the GK can ony handle the ball for 6 secs, otherwise an indirect free kick is given against, I was the victim of this a few times until I wised up. It seems that nowadays, keepers keep hold of the ball for a lot longer without fear of punishment (or own Super Kelv is often guilty of this). Has this rule been recinded? Incidentally, when I started playing in goal, you could bounch the ball around the penalty area ad nauseum.

We? Man Utd aren't in the championship!

Shilts, no contest. When he was with us he was rated as the best keeper in the world, and despite being great keepers in their own right that's not something that was ever said about Niemi orFlowers. Much as I like Super Kelv he's not in the same class as the aforementioned. We've been very lucky at Saints to have had some magnificent keepers through our doors, some (like Budgie, Grob, Woods & Bessant were on the wane when they played for us, although on their day & certainly prevoiusly in their careers they were fantastic keepers.

Charlies on the Triangle for me, a lot less greasier than Andys & Mikes at Midanbury. Good portion sizes too, 2 lots of small chips is enough for the 4 of us.

Bit of a shame, as he showed a lot of promise, but he was never going to get past the 3 in front of him. I wish him well for the future, and I'm sure he will do well.

Sorry to hear of your predicament Alps. Get well soon.

We have played with 3 Marks at back, Wright, Whitlock & Dennis. Mark Whitlock was known as "Albert", as in Albert Tatlock of Coronation Street.

I noticed it a couple of times, when we left 3 up, they left 3 back.

She's a Chelsea fan & writes about it quite often in her column in The Daily Mirror.

Why would you call your son "House"?

Bloody 'ell. I didn't expect that. What a game, shame about the pen, didn't look like one where I was (about as far away as you can get). I always said last years team would be ok this year & with the exception of Cork, that's exactly what it was, and they didn't look at all out of their depth, Leeds are no mugs. I'm confident about this season. Bring on the Skates.

It would be more helpful if you could rate them with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Stool_Scale For your delight & delectation, I'm generaly a Type 4, but due to a rather unfortunate, yet sometimes quite spectacular, bowel complaint I can occasionally get to a Type 6 at short notice. Before diagnosis I was doing a 7. You really don't want to be either in my way, or following me in to the thunder-box when I have a flare-up.

My god absolutely not. There is no way I would put my delicate white a rse on one of those p iss drenched seats. Especially when you factor in the lack of locking device on the door, or more worringly no paper & having to resort to using my (glossy) programme to wipe with.

As a tourist attraction, Liverpool has a lot more to offer than Southampton. I wonder if they (Liverpool council) are hoping this would appeal to tourists & they will spend a bit of time (and money) in the city. However, if I'd just disembarked from a cruise & had two weeks of luggage to lug around I think I'd jump straight into a taxi & get home.

Sorted. Time to lock this thread before it degenerates into the usual slanging match between the liberal elite & the far right.

Hopefully someone in admin will come back to me on this (I've already pm'd but had no response). I am changing my email address to an @btinternet.com address, when I visit my settings to do this, I get: Unfortunately we do not accept email addresses from your domain name/email provider - in particular, we block access to known "free" email providers to prevent users registering multiple accounts.

Nothing wrong with being poor. It's people who are too lazy to look after themselves & have no respect for others who are the pain. Wealth has no bearing on politeness, the ability to bin litter or keep your living accomodation clean.

All I know is that my 'Y' plate fiesta failed on Monday costing me £250. To compound the joy, the sump is leaking, that will cost another £250, but as it doesn't form part of the MoT, it can continue leaking on the road & in my parking space at work, until I can sell one of the kids into slavery.

They'll be gone by Sunday though. There were travellers on Riverside about 9 years ago. They pitched up about a week before the fair arrived. Rumour has it that the Coles (running the fair) had a "quite word" and they moved on sharpish.

What support do people expect? I manage to keep my property clean & tidy. No one has ever knocked on my door and said "Well done Mr Geezer, you're garden is looking very tidy today". It can't be financial support, because as tenants, I would assume they are not responsible for the upkeep of the fabric of the property.

Townhill Park isn't quite as bad as people make out. The private area from Woodmill Lane up to about the bus turning area is relatively nice, there are some skanky flats from the bus turning up to Townhill Way, but it's not a violent area and I wouldn't have any qualms about walking through there at night. I would guess this is the same with all areas. My in-laws live in Lordshill & although it's gone downhill in the last 20 years, I wouldn't fear it. Unfortunately, and this can be said for all areas, it's the chavy/lazy minority few that let the area/estate down, and these people generally live in rented accomodation and have little regard for the community, other people or property.

As long as your "mate" feels better, that's ok then. Still a coward. I would have thought a military man like yourself would've felt nothing but disdain at the actions of a coward, guess I was wrong.

Sausage & egg Mcmuffin is the best, but I usually go for a for the Big Breakfast meal, on the premise that it's easier to turn the pages of my newspaper with a knife & fork in my hand, than a mcmuffin dripping fat.
