Here's one from 3 weeks ago, didn't make the nationals: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8259022.Man_arrested_after_woman_stabbed_to_death_in_city_home/ This is local to me, my son went to school with the couples lad. Rumour has it that Mum was having an affair with a colleague, Dad got his revenge is the most apalling way. The real victim in this is the 9 year old son, who has not only lost his mother, but pretty much lost his father also. To make matters worse (if they can be), the family moved here from Hungry 2 years ago, the nipper was fully intergrated into school making plenty of friends along the way. He has now gone back to Hungry to live with his elderly grandparents. I really feel for this poor lad has had his whole world turned upside down through no fault of his own.

You can't justify a claim by repeating the said claim. It's like a parent telling a child "because it is", that's no explanation at all. Pikey isn't a racist term, it is used to refer to people in a lower social class (underclass), it can be used against Africans, Chinese, Gypsies or even poeple from Portsmouth. For all I know the travellers parked opposite the Luz could be Japanese tourists. The assumption that they are a bit dodgy, or on the rob, would imply the term "pikey" is correct. If this assumption is wrong and they are thoroughly decent, tax paying Japanese tourists, then they should be refered to as "holiday makers". FWIW my wifes great-grandmother was a Gypsy, my wifes dad refers to gypsys as pikey & he has Gypsy blood, does that make him racist towards himself?

Just heard on Wave 105 that James has left. The Skates have 'withdrawn' his contract offer. Oh dear.

Why can we refer to the Pompey lot as "Pikeys" without chastisement, when in reality they are probably no more "pikey" than you or me, yet when it is used in its proper context it is deemed racist. It’s not even used to describe a race, the term is used to describe anyone who lives in a caravan or shares the same values and "culture" of "the travelling community", so it says here: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pikey

I've managed to vote twice from the same pc, once at 54% & again now at 62%. It won't let me do it again though.

Two flaws in this, firstly the magnetised board would be attracted towards the steel pipes, therefore clamping the board to the ground, secondly, metal (cast Iron) are seldom used anymore, most pipes are either plastic or vitrified clay, therefore not at all magnetic. You must've been dreaming.

You are, frankly, correct. I realise it's your ball and you can do what you like with it. It just appears there are inconsistencies with what administrators are saying, and in the interest of fairness and impartiality (because that, after all is how this forum is run) should be cleared up. As, I’m sure you are aware, that’s my third post for today, and I’m metaphorically going home, you guys can keep on playing with your ball ‘til it gets dark.

So did SRS approach you, as a collective of mods, as stevegrant implies or was Stevegrant working unilaterally, therefore you were unaware of it?

He may be now, but Dave Benson-Phillips first post was on 14 June, StuRomseySaints last post was 26 June. Dave Benson-RomseySaint was therefore posting for 12 days as 2 users, one of which was on a blocked account.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, and I don't mean to come across all self-righteous but like it or loathe it speed limits are there for a reason, and for the sake of the little'un you should improve your driving skills & awareness.

Glad I wasn't coming the other way, maybe you should concentrate more, that way you'd have seen the red light & 30mph signs all through Belbins. I've managed to drive twice a day for 2 years at the correct speed. FYI the mobiles get down by Hunts Farm sports ground, by the burger van lay-by, when you get your licence back, bear this bit in mind as well.

Used to get 'Delirium tremens' in one of the pubs in Bevios Valley (cant remember the pubs name, it's the Dungeon now). Also there was 'Bishops Tipple' (that we hilariously re-named Nuns Nipple), the Frog & Frigate used to brew their own 'Frog' (or maybe 'Frogger'), the strap line was 'one pint of Frog & you'll never frigate'. Also I recall 'Old Codger' & 'Moosehead', (or was that the slappers I got off with at the end of a Friday night after drinking this lot ).

Sorry to hi-jack this thread, but I'm too tight to pay a fiver I'm going to the T20 match tomorrow, this will be the first time I've been to The Rose Bowl. Where is the best place to park that's not too expensive or too far to walk. I assume that on-street parking will be a no-go & the car parks at PC World, Sainsburys etc will all be locked & un-available. Thanks in advance.

Phew!!!!!!!!

Obviously another thug, attempting, to justify violence, who has the inability to string a coherent sentence together. Well done you also managed to find the caps lock button. If you can manage it, can you please explain how I’m deluded, (if you don’t mind I’ll ignore the capitalised insult & let the mods deal with it if they should so wish).

When was I speeding? But yes if the law said that if I got caught doing 40 in a 30 I should be locked up & the key thrown away, then so be it if that was the maximum punishment I could receive & that is what I got sentenced to, then I couldn't really gripe. I was going to apologise for mis-representing you, but the I re-read this bit. So it's only wrong if you get caught, and throwing a coin into a crowd of people should only be punished if it actually strikes someone, lets just hope that whack doesn't cause any damage then. It doesn't, it would appear that particular little thug got lucky, but you're right on one thing - far to inconsistent.

LOL at the wannabe Green Streeters up in arms at criminals being caught & punished, once again lead by chief thug apologist SRS. I read the first page, but can't be bothered to trawl through the rest, it's all been said before. They may only have chucked a few hub-caps or coins, what would have happened if one of those hub-caps had struck someone on the head & caused brain damage, or even killed them, what would have happened if one of those coins had struck someone in eye and caused them to go blind? Good riddance to 'em. I couldn't give a toss whether they were or were not known hoolies before this it doesn't make them any less innocent. I haven't checked, but I don't believe Peter Sutcliff was known to th OB before slicing & dicing prostitutes in Yorkshire. Maybe they'll think about it the consequences before doing it a second time. Mongs the lot of 'em, as are those on here defending them.

Until recently Mr F was running the newagents/convenience store at the Oaktree Rd/Copsewood Junction. It closed down a couple of months ago.

Was going to say both "The Saints Marching Jazz Band" & "Ken Bailey" (didn't he get done for Kiddy fiddling? Apologies if not true), but someone beat me to those two, I''l go for: Players not taking warm-ups seriously. I remember MLT in goal for some of these & MLT, Shearer, Ruddock & Flowers deliberetly kicking balls into the Milton. Also: Getting vouchers at the turnstiles for up-coming all ticket matches. And: Players running onto the pitch from the er.. tunnel (well down some stairs & out of a door) in the corner of the pitch. Only us & Man U did this I think.

I have developed a huge respect for those young men (some where not much more than boys) who fought in this war. As I've got older I've come to realise just what a sacrifice they made, not only those that paid the ultimate price, but also those that came back. Both of my grandfathers, like many others, were conscripted, one refused to talk about the war, the other died when I was too young to realise what he'd been through. However, my step-grandfather was evacuated at Dunkirk & was also involved in the D-Day landings, and loved (probably the wrong word) telling me stories about what he'd seen & done. I have nothing but admiration for what they did. We will remember them.

For someone not that bothered about the match thats going on in front of you, why do you get your arse in such a cramp about things. Surely if SFC isn't being run to your satisfaction, why not shut the *uck up and spend the time down the pub with your mates. Clearly SFC comes forth in you list of priorities, behind getting ****ed, being chief apologist for thugs & whining on this forum. Ok it may be fifth on your list, I forgot about being a attention seeking t***. Fwiw I think the arrangements for the season tickets this year are a joke, and will cause me problems. Both my lads have reached the age thresholds for price increases, and the 3 of us will cost aroud £500 this year, a lot to find this month, on top of of MoT & holidays. However I have been kindly offered the loan for the cost of the tickets, by my parents, which I have declined as I've gone down the intrest free credit card route.

I like that, what a great idea. Can't see the boot manufacturers going for it though.

Don't slag off the company or any individuals. You may want/need to work there again one day. Good luck, it can be quite daunting walking into the bosses office with that envelope in your sweaty palm.

Most of the MOD staff in Liverpool have seen Abby Clancy performing um...... lets just say, interesting things on Mr Crouch :smt038. The office overlooks their old appartment they had in the 'pool, and they neglected (maybe accidently) to draw the curtains during afternoon shenanigans. Needless to say the internal 'phone system in the office was red-hot. :smt040

I usually get hayfever from March right through 'till August, aren't I a lucky boy. I can cope with the sneezing & snivelling, it's the sore eyes that cause me misery, but so far this year I've not had eye-agony. As for medication: Loratidine tabs, sodium-cromaglycate drops & funisoloide nasal spray. If the eye-drops don't work I find that rapid rubbing followed by poking with something blunt offers a limited distraction from the soreness. :smt072 Bizarely, I always sneeze 3 at a time. :smt102
