So insignificant that Call-me-Dave was forced into a coalition with them, otherwise he would have been running a lame duck minority government.

Cheers all, were only be there for 2 days so it could be a go-er.

:lol:

I have been "first on scene" a few times twice by coincidence the others by design (although not technically first as I was called as part of an emergency response team). I've been trained in first aid since a young age, through the Red Cross, Youth Organisations & at work. The first occaasion was when a player from our team had a heart attack in a pre-season friendly, myself & another chap gave CPR until the ambulance arrived, sadly he died, the second was (again football related) a player in our 5-a-side team was punched, then kicked in the head as he fell, he was unconscious & bleeding heavily, I dealt with him again until the ambulance crew got there. His attacker got put away for 3 months. I have been trained as a Hamphire Ambulance (as it was then) First Responder, this is a voluntary position, usually in rural locations. When a member of the public calls 999 & requests an ambulance, a First Responder is also paged, and immediately responds, usually arriving long before an ambulance, we are trained to use de-fibulators & oxygen, as well as the usual first aid techniques. I used to work out in the sticks & have been called to several incidences ranging from a child with an injured foot at a school to an old feller in the throes of a heart attack, he survived. I also went to a case where a decorator had fallen off a ladder, & broke his leg, someone had called the local GP, and as soon as I arrived he took a back seat saying something like "I haven't done emergency first Aid for about 30 years, I'm sure you're better qualified than me", which I found out from the ambulance crew was rather unusual for a GP, they generally pull rank, even over experienced paramedics. I also called the fire brigade when the boiler room a my local school caught fire, I was probably about 11 years old then, that was quite exciting.

I take exception with Keith Cassells, if it wasn't for him we would never had Mark Wright playing for us.

He was on the bench for at least one match this season.

The same as the one in town. It was good when it opened but has gone downhill badly. The portions have got smaller too.

I'll be fine then I'm 43. I hope they turn the music down at 9pm, that's when I like to drink my ovaltine before getting in my jim-jams ready for bed at 9.30.

Thanks chaps & chapesses, I've got some pondering to do. Brussels Saint, Thanks for the offer, if we make the decision to go, I'll pm you nearer the time.

Yep, looks that way. Good luck to them. As for Oxo drinking, isn't only illegal if it's bought for him?

Hmmm. Thanks for the responses so far. It's not sounding to positive. A re-think may be on the cards. Brixton sound appealing.

Anyone been? I'm planning to take Mrs Geezer there in the summer for a long weekend. I'm intending to take the Eurostar & stay in a hotel near the Heysel Stadium. What’s it like for sightseeing? I assume getting around will be fairly straight forward as they have a Metro system. Do they speak much English, I assume they mostly speak French. I hate going somewhere & assuming they can speak English, I like to make an attempt whilst secretly hoping the locals will help out with a bit of English. If they only speak Flemish I’m screwed. Is it expensive to eat out? Any (constructive) comments are welcome.

I use this: http://www.exp-systems.com/pdfredirect/downloads.htm it's a free download, although I'm not sure if you can produce 3 pdf drawings in one file, as you will generally (well I do ayway), use different paper-space view ports to plot from, not sure how you will link them. edit, As GM said, this is used from the plot command, by selecting the pdf redirect option from you list of available plotters.

Ah yes, of course. I was missing the salient point. It’s unfortunate these guys can’t (or don’t want to) get on. It was a shame that no players from LMs era were invited, but equally he needs to realise he isn’t the only previous manager (granted he was our most successful – to date anyway, I have high hopes for Adkins), and any one of them could’ve been asked to manage the Ex-Saints team.

I don't understand why LM feels he needs to be invited to attend a match.

I think someone on here said they spoke to him & he bought his own ticket

I did & comented to my Pa about it.

Hilarious. Lets hope he wasn't having a heart attack eh?

Chuffin' brilliant. Even my old man got on the pitch.

I'd like to see KD & Fonte substituted on 60 & 70 minutes so they can get the ovations they deserve.

saddlers

Congrats Nige. Thoroughly deserved.
