  1. Next time you're in your local supermarket, make sure you keep an eye on the checkout girl's tits. In these tough financial times,can you really be afford to be overcharged for fruit and veg? Not only will it save you money, but it'll make grocery shopping that little bit more enjoyable. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-11710712
  2. Are we going to have 8 pages of moans because of the Mayflower ticket tax?
  3. Reading some posts on other forums, the people behind the scenes at AFCW dont want to deal with Franchise FC, with ticket sales and other stuff that goes with Clubs meeting in the cup. The wounds are so deep that they are going to really struggle to do any normal day to day stuff with them. A lot of AFCW people really dont want the game to happen.
  4. I bet the ones who had great excuses not to make the game, will be free for a third round game against The Skates or Man Utd.
  5. Had the British people realised what the EEC would become, they would have voted to come out back in the 70'S.We were lied to by Grocer Heath and the rest of the Euro loons. I bet the leftie BBC want be ramming home the point that an unelected body is telling us who can vote in our elections.
  6. What a joke, pubs are one of man's greatest inventions. Millions of people enjoy a drink in a harmless friendly way. Just because a very small percentage of people who drink, do so to such an extent that they ruin lives does not make in comparable to hard drugs in anyway. How many Heroin users lead normal healthy lives taking a bit of Heroin with their friends and family to relax?
  7. How did he get on in the PR European elections? Second above Labour and the Lib/Dems, which goes to show a lot of people share his opinions on Europe.
  8. Can someone with a contact in our squad, find out the Notts County team for me?
  9. Didn't Storrie claim that the chants of "One Peter Storrie" convinced him to stay on.
  10. Fantastic to see the great man getting a bit of publicity, thanks to that old queen Elton( who personally I cant stand).How on earth the Rock and Roll Hall of fame can continue to ignore him is unbelieveable. Since seeing his performance of Jumping Jack Flash in The Concert for Bangladesh I've been a great fan of Leon's and he's spent too many years in the wilderness. The hippy looking Father Christmas you may have seen lately played with Ike and Tina Turner, Joe Co cker, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Jerry Lee Lewis, BB King,The Beach Boys, george Harrison,Herb Albert and Frank Sinatra amongst others. His songs covered by many many artists, "Song for you" can still be heard on prime time TV. He also wrote Delta Lady, Superstar,Hummingbird,This Masquerade and countless other hits for other artists to perform.He was also a great performer in his own right. If you get a chance check out his performances on stage in the Mad Dogs and Englishmen film (although he does look a bit like that TCWTB) with Joe Coc ker and a band of world class musicans. He's not very trendy , I realise I'm a bit of an old dinosaur, and this is a bit of indulgence on my part, but I feel a tribute to Leon is in order before he passes away. Forget the old man you may see with Elton, this is Leon in his prime.The quality of the pics isn't great, but the quality of the band and performance is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjy7RAu8TJ4&feature=related
  11. Dont bother with Consumer Direct, just take legal advise from the off. I had dealings with them and after 4 months of their advise,I got nowhere and they said they said I should speak to a solicitor. They said they had a list of local Solicitors who specilaised in the field I was in dispute about. Gave me the name of one, really local to Poole, Newport. I said that's the IOW, miles away, to which the lady replied Newport South Wales. They were a complete shambles. Pay a Solicitor for an intial interview, it'll be worth it in the long run.
  12. Did anyone hear Duffin on Talksport this morning. If I was a Skate I'd be worried about what he had to say. He said that Chanari was now out looking for finance, but also that he (Duffin) understands that next season's parachute money has already been spent on running the club this season.
  13. If anyone has any doubts about Trade Unionism nowadays, ask yourself why London Fireman are going on strike on Nov 5th. That tells you all you need to know about the Trade Unions.
  14. Yes, to commercial radio. Good point Why should I pay a poll tax regardless of whether I watch their programmes or listen to their radio stations?
  15. Ask him why I have to pay a poll tax , whether I want to watch his programmes or not?
  16. Jim Steele
  17. I was at the England V Argie friendly in 1980 where a young Diego Maradona showed a glimpse of what was to come. Dalglish was proberly the best player season in season out I saw. He had such a high standard every game. One of the best performances I can remember was Gunter Netzer against England in about '72/'73.
  18. Funny how he's devoloped into a better player under Dinosaur Redknapp than Walcott has under Prof Wenger.
  19. The Govt are only reducing spending back to 2006 levels,this is still way way too high.Browns talk of reforming welfare was just a con designed to apease the floating voter. The time to reform welfare was during the good times and the Labour Govt had no intention of ever doing it.The Govt spent too much of our money and taxed us too much during the boom years.
  20. One player who never gets a mention because he didn't really play too many games was Trond Soltvedt. Must have been around the end of the 90's. Never rated him at Cov, but he really surprised me when he turned up at The Dell.Mickey Evans was another one who I liked but didn't stay around too long.
  21. 70's and 80's we were a different class to the 90's. That said I enjoyed a lot about the 90's. Obviously their was Le Tiss, but I enjoyed the rest in a funny sort of way. We had players who gave their all and really cared for the club. Even the Branfoot era had some great memories, from Barry Horne's strikes against Bolton, to Le Tiss against Newcastle. The best time of the 90's was Bally's 18 months in charge, winning at Newcastle, his first home game in the snow,and obviously Le Tiss in his prime.West Ham away last game of the season was one of the best games I've been to and then the following season we played some pretty decent stuff.
  22. Forget about Healy, he hasn't played enough lately and is pretty one paced. There's obviously something wrong about Healy, even when banging them in for NI, he couldn't get a game at Leeds and has struggled to find a team willing to pick hm up. He's even stopped scoring for NI lately. We're not going to pick up a ready made League One striker on loan unless its a club trying to offload his wages. Premiership fringe players are going to be picked up by Championship clubs as the gulf is getting wider and wider.Perhaps there's someone out of favour somewhere like Puncheon was at Plymouth and hopefully our scouting network will be aware and working on it. On paper Lambert,Barnard, Guly and Connely look ok, but the reality is Lambert has been poor, Connelly is injury prone, Guly untried and Barnard has this issue hanging over him.Personally I'm not convinced Lambert's form is a blip, I hope I'm wrong, but I just have a gut feeling we've had the best out of him.Certainly we need someone in a similar mould to put pressure on him so he cant take his place in the side for granted.Where we are going to get him from I dont know, but NA's and the scouts should, that's what their paid for.
  23. We should cut the overseas aid budget by 50% at least.
  24. I didn't know they still had the charts, surely its a bit pointless without TOTP's.
