OVER THE HILL

I laughed when Portillo got off at Eastleigh and asked three people what Eastleigh was famous for and they all said trains or railways,he then asked a railway worker and got the reply "I don't know ,I'm from Portsmouth "

A normally peaceful street in Calshot was inundated with enthusiasts hoping to spot a small brown bird. the Spanish Sparrow - the only one in the country http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9465085.Birdwatchers_descend_on_Hampshire/ I really like watching birds in the garden but this I cannot understand.

Construction doesn't begin until 2016 and it may take ten years to complete so the costs are spread over many years. This is not just about speed but greater capacity on the railways , it will also be connected to HS1 so the larger sized continental freight wagons can run through to Birmingham.

With Bob Crow throwing his weight behind this project I suppose this was to be expected. http://newsthump.com/2012/01/10/first-hs2-drivers-strike-scheduled-for-2027/

Sorry to build your hopes up.

HMS Daring ,the Royal Navy's new type 45 destroyer leaves Portsmouth for her maiden deployment tomorrow. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/defence/hms_daring_s_crew_are_ready_for_anything_says_captain_ahead_of_middle_east_deployment_1_3403891 According to the report this warship cost £1bn and five more are being built.

If it's just been serviced .I assume the plugs have been changed ,you could have a faulty spark plug. What bike is it ?

Good choice

D'urso obviously didn't see what happened he was suckered by the rolling about **** and Greer shouting in his ear.

Once Chaplow got injured there does seem to be a lack goals or goal attempts from the other midfielders. Has Cork ever had an attempt on target ? Also Fonte scored a few last season but, I think, none so far this.

Mack's humour is very subtle

I think you mean Horton Heath The unit behind the garage (not that I know anything about it of course)

No but I have got a superb DVD of the "Battleship Potemkin".

Agree with this.

The Queens speech for all those people that still look up to royalty.

I can't help it , almost as funny as the Pompey Takeover Saga.

This was the point of my original post and you have summed it up very well. What a shocking waste of talent (what's left of it )

The point is he is a multi millionaire now ,you would think playing football at high standard would be more important.

People on here moan about Tommy Forcast being paid good money and never playing but Wayne Bridge takes it to another level. According to this article he has been paid £4.7million since his last league game. He has had offers to go to other clubs but chooses to stay at city and take the money. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/dec/20/milan-carlos-tevez-roberto-mancini

Don't forget the 200k pompey fans to see them.

Agree with this.

Do they? I am sure the strong possibility that many of them will not have a job soon has made them really happy.

As if the troops didn't have enough to put up with. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16272560 The pink faced buffoon seems to be more interested in posing for the cameras than actually supporting our armed forces.
