He'd have to drive (or run) from Highfield to get a better view :-)

Well done Jimmy, my vote goes to the Air Ambulance: http://www.hiowaa.org/

So does Schneiderlin http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14497908.Schneiderlin_left_out_of_French_Euros_squad/?ref=mr&lp=3

Probably the ideal game to take kids too, no away fans means it'll be a friendly atmosphere & it's cheap. Let them bring their phones/ipads etc & if they get bored let them play Grand Theft Auto (or something :-) ). Take plenty of sweets.

Rip. Last one out, please turn off the lights :-(

No wind up, Lallana says "I hope you have a great day & I'm looking forward to see (sic) so many familiar faces"

If only she had two guns, she would have been in a position to defend herself.

Definitely still there. I spent a lot of my childhood in Riverside, my kids would ride the train most weekends during the summer & I run (shuffle?) past it a couple of times a week. It's certainly reclaimed Whitey, I was always lead to believe it was an old rubbish tip, which was leveled to form the leisure space, which is borne out by this: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/heritage/archives/9543150.Post_war_push_for_Riverside_Park/

Just found this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-15258893 I've no idea where the Coach House Club was.

I think they have a picture of Marley on the wall at the Fleming Arms, but I believe he actually played in the now demolished pub, just up the road in Wessex Lane, on bend opposite the railway station. I think it was called the Masons Arms.

That was a response to AussieDog's post about Colin Clarke.

You beat me too it. Yes he did, against QPR I think.

Now lectures at Solent Uni I believe.

I have a mate who inherited an apartment in Spain, I remember him telling me that when dealing with the locals, utility companies, tradesmen, local officials etc, you need to be able to speak & understand the lingo. Whilst many can speak English, and will happily speak to tourists in English they will make no effort to speak to foreign property owners in anything other than Spanish. He has just sat & passed his A-level in Spanish. So if you don't speek-a-da-lingo, it's well worth learning.

This: My nipper & his band of pre uni time wasters are waiting until Thursday, there's nearly 20 of them, a mixture of STHs, members & non members. Pleased they won't be sat near me though :-)

This is the nub of the problem. They are the bane of a Structural Engineers (and many other professions) life, they usually have very little concept of the effects of their constant meddling.

What a genius Burt Bacharach is. I don't think there was a song in that set that I didn't know, now watching it for the second time, fabulous stuff.

It's good for my son who has been a STH for 10 years, but is intending to go to uni in September, so hasn't renewed, it means he will have first bite of the cherry for matches when he is home.

Nice effort, but not up to the standard of the guy who told Radio Solent that we need Redknapp back as manager.

That is a bit weird, laying there with your old man being pulled around by a bloke (in my case) & chatting to a female nurse about holidays, weather, kids schools etc.

Used to go on Friday nights from about '88, loved the place. I'm looking forward to getting along sometime soon(ish). The only problem is if I get ****ed nowdays, it completely wipes me out for 24 hrs :-(

So far I have : Judas c**t S**thead w@ nker prat c**t bear f**khead Yid tw @ t scumbag and Hiya.

Maybe, but it's worth making a plan. We had 6 night & didn't get to any of the museums, that's for next time without the kids, but do get the NYC pass I mentioned, we saved a small fortune.

I built an extension on my place, like you at weekends & evenings, all I needed to do was inform them, they didn't ask for details, but did add 30 quid onto my premium.

Went in August & stayed at The Hamilton Inn in Manhatten, pretty basic, much like a Premier Inn, but it does do a breakfast within the price, which is quite unusual in NYC, and is only a block or 2 from the subway. If you're doing the touristy stuff, get one of these http://www.newyorkpass.com/En/ it'll save you a fortune. Get to The Empire State early before about 9.30 & you'll go straight in, much later & you'll be queuing for ever, same with the Statue Of Lib. Do the Top Of The Rock after dark & you get a spectacular view of The Emp State. Be prepared for a lot of walking.
