Bits and Pieces

 

 

I would win against anyone on here

I bloody ruled at that......I wouldn't have a chance now.

 

Christ, I'd forgotten about that.

I'd give you guys a run for your money any time. (as long as it was 80's music)

Just a beard, then I'd go for Kelvin, but ,if we're counting 'taches I'll nominate Frank Worthington.

Exactly what I was thinking. René Higuita comes to mind

Although Higuita did his scorpion kick, after the whistle had blown for offside.

Factoid of the day:

Higuita has more international goals than Emile Heskey.

Went to one (Lyme Regis I think) whilst camping in Charmouth in 1984. Gary Davies was host & we had our banner read out. Exciting times.

stella artois et al now stop wondering

Thanks for the tip. Fortunately I drink bitter.

Yet another of the 27 club Jimi Hendrix, Curt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, always thought she wouldn't be long for this world.

Not a fan, I always thought she was over-rated, but hope she's at peace now.

Just to give you all an update:

I appealed.

I won.

I have invoiced them for £ 130.00 for preparation of letter, provision of proof, postal costs, photographs, witness statments and preparation of invoice. If they pay within 14 days, i am willing to give them a 50 % discount.

Well done, let us know if they cough up.

Two rugby players spring to mind, the first is Ian Roberts, an Aussie League player & the others is Gareth Thomas ex welsh Union Captain.

Mrs Geezer & I were sat in Starbucks last Saturday when a group of young French girls came in, they were so much tidier, elegant & better presented than English girls. As we left we were passed by a couple of English girls of a similar age, they were both in tracksuits, with bleached blonde hair, with the obligatory dark roots, scraped back into a pony-tail, of sorts, and could have done with missing a meal or two, as they passed us their conversation consisted of

" 'e's a right tw at, 'e's been on the f****** phone all morning, I wish 'eh would f*** right off". Lovely stuff. I often wonder how these women manage to get pregnant, as they undoubtedly will several time over.

Best - Probably that warm, damp grassy smell on a sunny morning after it has rained over night.

I'll go with that one as well.

Worst, my son's socks after coming back wet from cub camp this weekend. He'd put them in the bottom of his rucksack & the whole bag was rank.

Gerard Houllier OBE

 

OBE?

 

Que?

Honarily ararded it in 2003 along with Wenger.

If NA keeps it up he'll should be getting a real one soon.

Just spoke to the ticket office and they have a rouge box! I have been told to return them and then they will send out a complete set staright away - you can return them freepost too lol

Much easier on the eye than the usual brown ones.

Incidentally, the club are on to this, I've just got an email from "Liela" (I think that was it) at SFC saying to call the TO if you've got the wrong ones.

I got mine a couple of days ago & just lobbed them in the drawer without checking. Fortunately I've got a complete set.

I'm not that fussed either way. I can't understand why people get so emotive about it. It's a football shirt, nothing more, nothing less.

Rule 1

Thursday, July 14, 2011 at 04:43 PM I feel there has been enough vilification of this pair, they have been punished and I'm sure they are feeling very ashamed of their actions. I think they should be left now, to just go home and lick their wounds

:lol:

Anyone wanting to mention that this will give the club yet another opportunity to cash in on the car park charges can form an orderly queue behind me.

 

Though I should point out that if you're waiting for more than 15 minutes it'll cost you a quid .

Only if you use the car park. I managed to park for free & legally in one of the roads behind Freeborne Motors on Saturday when purchasing tickets for the upcoming friendlies.

but NC doesn't want to acknowledge the past.

I'd also suggest that if they play football that they model themselves on the player who shares that position.

There's an element of truth in this, I was a keeper & my heroes were Shilts, Flowers & Budgie.

As for my kids, for the 10 year old it's now Barney (Previously Papa Waigo), where as my 14 year old thinks Jaidi is God.

I'm Southampton born. That's it really.

I've just cancelled my wifes automatic renewal. The policy is in my wifes name, but the payments come from a joint bank account & I do all the sorting out for it. I got through all the usual security questions and was then asked if my wife was with me, to which I answered "no". That was it. I wasn't allowed to continue because I didn't have a females voice. My secretary (who is female) phoned back 30 minutes later & did it for me.

Bloody ridiculous.

Examiners are quite good at reading poor writing but some degree of legibility is helpful... If all of the teachers say that his handwriting is not a problem then I wouldn't worry, they can obviously read it.

I am worried that the examiners wouldn't be as tolerent as the teachers, but I guess the bit in bold is probably more pertinent.

Not sure where I stand on this - handwriting has always been a bit over-rated in my opinion but that's after thirty five years of exasperation at parents who can't see past the look of their child's work and totally ignore the quality of what has been written.

 

In the current KS2 SATs - handwriting is marked out of 3, spelling 7 and the actual writing (organisation, grammar, content) 90. About right I think.

Are you expressing your views as a teacher. I ask because I'd be interested in your opinion of this:

My son has always had awful handwriting, apparently this is because he is very intelligent, and writes quickly. I've often spoken to his teachers about it (going as far back as year 3, he will be starting year 10 in September), but without exception, all have said that it's not a problem. I have great difficulty reading what he's written & I really need to concentrate, although sometimes it's just impossible. My concern is that when it comes to exam time, the examiner won't be able to read what's in front of him (or her) and my son won't get the grades that he deserves. He is expected to get an A-A* in all of his subjects, and not only will it be a shame if he doesn't achieve this, but it could potentially prove a set-back to his university aspirations.

My wifes renewal was £329, yesterday I want on three comparison sites, and got a quote for M&S from Compare the Meerkat of £182, that's where I'll be going.

Incidentally, two of the sites gave me a price for M&S, one was £12 more expensive, whilst the quote direct from M&S was £40 more. All had the same information & were within about a hour of each other, so why the variance?

Will the last one out switch off the lights please.
