Anthems that make your hairs stand on end..

Royal Air Force March Past ... for those Brave Boys of the Battle of Britain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwJiWBc-aws&feature=related The Italian National Anthem is a lot of fun and Vivaldi - Nulla in mundo pax sincera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08a0rxFOYrs Bo Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer Beatles - Getting Better -
I don't believe Dimbleby gave Mr Griffin a harder time last night than he does with any other politician who holds a controversial view. I've seen him give others a very hard time. Some can brush off attacks easily (Ken Clarke and Boris J for example both appear to have that 'teflon' quality) whereas others, Griffin now being one of them, have difficulty handling it. Griffin wanted to be taken seriously, his party won the seats to allow him a place on the panel and last night he experienced the consequences of holdings his views - just like any other politician. Nor is Mr Dimbleby alone in this style of aggressive questioning. How many times did Paxman ask Michael Howard that awkward question about Derek Lewis and several years ago? 12 times, wasn't it? Nope, Nick Griffin came up against democracy last night. He didn't like it and he wasn't very good at it.

A couple of years ago we were 0-2 up at QPR and won 0-3. The Ray Jones (RIP) game.

Last 3 albums you listened to all the way through
Kingsland Codger replied to Rattlehead's topic in The Arts
Delighted to see the noun 'album' being used rather than the more modern 'CD'. Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon Barclay James Harvest - Once Again -
Make sure you have an empty bladder as it wouldn't do to be caught short.

Saints 4-1 Gillingham - Post Match W00Ting
Kingsland Codger replied to Arizona's topic in The Saints
Although he was flagged a few times yesterday, there was also evidence that he was checking and delaying his runs to avoid being offside. As was said earlier - it's still work in progress. It was also encouraging to see him gettting his foot in and putting up with a bit of buffeting and barging from the defenders. -
I align myself with Mornington Crescent, Le God Third Coming, Chap in the Chapel and Nineteen Canteen. I saw a magnificent football match last night with superb support from both sets of fans. Every bit as enjoyable as some of our better Premiership matches. The fact we were defeated was due to a wonder goal that might have been avoided but had we taken the chances that fell to MS and AL in the second-half then we would have been hope and dry anyway. But even then, the chances for MS and AL were a clear sign of our new-found ability to make goal scoring opportinities; and it wasn't as if either MS or AL missed the target - they were both saved superbly by the Rovers keeper. So whilst we can curse Lady Luck with her cruel twist against us, I look foward to the match on Saturday and believe that elusive 'emphatic' victory will occur.

If Trotman's loan period ends in January and Campbell becomes available around about the same time, would he be a useful replacement until the end of the season?

Given our problems of the summer and the minus 10 points, I guess we all ought to be happy with finishing around 10 points off the play-off positions. Looking back a few seasons, finishing about 10 points off the play-offs means coming around 10th place. We have a long hard haul ahead but I am pleased with the team AP has built and am sure we will finish somewhere around 10th come May.

But in order to expand the stadium and maybe improve the rail connection some super-cranes and other types of huge construction equipment would be required. Where the heck could we get hold of some of those?

I recall reading an interview with Mr Cowen(s? ...or maybe Cowan(s) - how quickly one forgets!) shortly after the move from The Dell. Possibly this interview was on the old SFE site. He was asked why the home and away fans shared the Northam end and I'm sure he said this was decided in close consultation with our fans.

I didn't have a good view of the first penalty but it looked like a dive by Saga. For the rest of the game I was expecting the ref to give Yeovil a penalty 'to even things up'. I had a much clearer view of the second incident. Yes, it hit the defender's arm but it wasn't deliberate nor did it put James at any disadvantage. I was puzzled by the lino waving his flag and couldn't believe it when he signalled for a penalty. I was also well placed for all those offsides against Papa Waigo and the lino was right every time. Waigo has some serious work to do in coming to grips with the offside law.

I think they had a win on the opening day of the season.

A tittle, then?

Poll: Happy with our signings this season?
Kingsland Codger replied to St Marco's topic in The Saints
It's a case of many congratulations and a hearty "well done" to Messrs Pardew and Cortese (and (m)any others involved). We have a cracking squad - but the hard work begins now and we need to put several consecutive victories together. I have no doubt AP will achieve this. -
Hitting the woodwork twice sounds more of a matter of poor finishing rather than organisation.

Kayne's profile page on the OS says he was injured in February and is out until September. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10280~46142,00.html But the Injuries & Suspension page on the OS is more pessimistic predicting a return in October/November. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Suspensions/0,,10280,00.html No mention of Lee Holmes on that page.

The most 'different' place you have been to
Kingsland Codger replied to Thedelldays's topic in The Lounge
I lived in Tokyo for many years and travelled around the area a fair bit. The Phillipines was probably the most different place I've ever been to, especially up-country. It is the only country I've visited with an armed guard inside a flower shop. -
And to get an idea of just how huge a Liebherr crane can be ... http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2009/08/06 And the (unrelated) clip of the previous day, of a daredevil sliding down a water shute, is, quite simply, incredible.

New signing expected shortly (no idea who I migth add)
Kingsland Codger replied to Chez's topic in The Saints
Jaidi was refused a work permit - hardly a reflection on AP's ability.
