egg

Admiral wanted another 35% or so this year. Went to Chaucer and got it cheaper than last year. Result. Hastings were also competitive. I renewed Mrs eggs through them recently and got a cracking deal. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

Bit of a strange thread tbh. Whether someone is apprehensive depends on their expectations. I am not apprehensive, but I do not have high expectations. This should be a season of consolidation before we fine tune next summer ready for a real promotion push. Anything above that would be a bonus. My view is that we are in reasonable shape to achieve that. We are a top half side with a small chance of sneaking a play off spot, imo. If I had expectations of promotion then I would be apprehensive as I think that's unrealistic with our current squad and the quality of other teams.

3. The guardian article in the press predictions thread highlights what we are up against. I don't think we're going to be too far away from the play offs but I think this will be a season of consolidation, followed by fine tuning next summer.

Maddison is a coach at Darlington. Banger is the Marketing man at Aldershot and doing rather well. He also has fingers in other pies, ie bits of property etc.

You are plainly in the "I am always correct" group of people so instead of helping you understand a normal persons perception of racism, i am off to the pub. In the meantime have a little look at your definition and, perhaps, compare it to to a proper definition.

Please read the second paragraph of your definition thread. Your words are clear. Your definition is wrong.

Joined nothing mate. Just highlighting your warped opinion of racism.

What utter bollo cks. Racism can exist without violence and/or impulsive behaviour. Ffs. Of all the carp posted on this thread that is up there.

No. To suggest otherwise is like saying maize is different to corn.

Not easily. Most landlords want assurances the rent can and will be paid. I am a landlord. I also represent landlords. References, and credit checks, and bank statements are standard. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

You're priceless/clueless. They would never pass the checks for mortgage or renting. That is before we get into the why they should have to conform with your view of a normal way of life. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

So every traveller has the cash to buy a house? Wow. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

I'll tell him that I heard a rumour that we're bringing his dad out of retirement the fill the number 5 shirt. Interesting to see if that starts trending on twitter.

I've established that. I've also established that travellers are perceived as not being "normal" by the likes of delldays (seemingly because they are a minority group - bless him) and should give up their traditions and live in non-existent houses with non-existent money. It seems that some posters think that the behaviour of a few means that all travellers are appalling individuals. I mean, if the behavior of a few reflected the whole it would be easy for a casual reader of this forum to form the view that all saints fans are fascists. Surely nice people wouldn't be so judgmental though...

You can't just say "I don't care where they live". That's like a kid saying "just because" when you ask them why they don't want to do something. Yes, some travellers step out of line and I'm not condoning that, but they have to live somewhere.

That's fine, just try answering questions with reasoned answers if you want to get involved debate.

Do you mean Asa? Can't imagine he would be itk.

I'm not talking about asylum seekers. If you can't give a credible answer stay quiet.

I said sensible answers. Which houses? There is a long list of people wanting social housing. Government and Councils have no money to build more. Where would they get the 35 % deposit to buy one? Who would lend the mortgage? How could they satisfy a lender or a landlord that they could pay a mortgage? Why aren't they "normal" - is it because they are part of a minority group.

I thought that the lounge was meant to be for reasonably sensible discussion, not a billboard for bigoted views and stereotypes. I have asked twice on this thread where people suggest that travellers are supposed to live. Someone please give me a sensible answer, ie not the usual "would you want them in your garden ?" or "in a proper house" rubbish that has been posted.

Silly me for not seeing that glut of social housing going spare, those readily available mortgages, the piles of cash for deposits, the well paid jobs, and the obligation to give up a culture. I'm not condoning the behaviour of some travellers but people need to think about what the realistic alternatives before posting utter bolloc@s.

That team would more than hold it's own in this league. Nigel is going to have to work very hard to keep the fringe players happy.

Ui I'm not prepared to defend your allegations. You tar (no pun intended, honest) all travellers with the same brush. I know many travellers and showmen. They have Families including kids and elderly folk. Are they also to be classed as drug dealers, thieves,vandals etc ? For completeness, please also tell me where you say travellers should live.

I think they could be a decent partnership but think it unlikely that Nigel will start with them. We have options though. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

Good post. We're only a CB short. De ridder offers pace up front and a move to 433 would give countless options. This could be an exciting season. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
