  1. 3:00 minutes in. LMFAO.
  2. I thought you were meant to be old. I'll stick to my wax cylinders, thank you very much.
  3. ...incidentally, this is what got me thinking about the Blast Furnace one...
  4. Excellent, many thanks dinger. :)
  5. A question for the older farts on here. Who recorded that single, "South of the river"? It was back in the late 70s/early 80s, and recorded by a rock journalist with a session band. I think it was meant as a pop at Lydon and the Pistols, but I could be wrong about that. A kind of blues-rock number, with harmonica backing. The opening line was "little brother, I don't think you understand the rules of the game". It wasn't a mainstream song, and I don't think it even hit the charts. Been driving me mad trying to remember who did it.
  6. 4- possibly. 15 and 18- certainly. The rest- nope. So I suppose that makes me 2.5 at age 52. Has a pleasant symmetry, imo...
  7. The speed with which that William Hague story got buried was a wonder to behold, what was it, a couple of days in the papers? then nothing. They can usually kill a story if they really want to.

    Wooden Floors

    Dont get parquet tiles. Wood expands across the grain, never along it, so with plank hardwood flooring you only need to allow plenty of expansion gap along the sides. Parquet expands every which way. The hardwood stuff from screwfix is excellent, get the heavy duty solid one, they do a couple of oak types.
  9. No, that was an urban myth. It was actually more aerodynamic going sideways.
  10. :lol:
  11. May have been instructed to do that. I didn't see the whole game, but my reaction from what I did see was that he'd probably been told to get rid asap by punching them out. There were several instances such as the repeated corners where you'd have thought he would at least try to gather the ball, but punched it out for another corner instead.
  12. ^ ...which I suspect will be one-nil.
  13. My ex had an allegro 1100 which I rather enjoyed driving, for some odd reason (everyone else seemed to hate them at the time.) A few years later, (post-girlfriend I hasten to add,) my mrs wrecked her renault 5 and the bodyshop loaned her an mg metro, which I detested. So, its a big to the allegro for me in this crucial poll. May I say I'm on the edge of my seat awaiting the final result.
  14. You must have been some devoted husband if you sh*gged her boss. Respect.
  15. Hey Bob, how about your cheating two-timing lying ***** of a soon to be ex-wife? Any comments to make about her?
  16. I feel your pain. Years ago, when this had happened to me once too often, I simply said my goodbyes, told her I'd be in the car, and waited in it. Half an hour later she hopped in and said "lets go then". I said "another few minutes and I'd have already gone." She just laughed. The following family occasion, I did the same thing but gave her 20 minutes and f*cked off home without her. She got a lift home off her sister and came in fuming, she said "you were supposed to be waiting for me", I replied "no, we were supposed to be going home." She hasn't done it since.
  17. We could if we hadn't abolished capital punishment.
  18. That rather depends on one's religious beliefs, I'd say. And the nipper supermikey doesn't strike me as the type, he'd probably use all lower case for "allah" as well, he's hardcore. As to your OP, if you are genuinely interested in the animosity between the two clubs, sign up to SaintsPlayer and watch the cup game at SMS when they beat us 4-1. Then take a look at the last league game between us at Fratton, and watch the crowd. They are complete f*cking animals, and deserve absolutely everything they are currently getting, all of which they have brought on themselves without aid or assistance. My brother-in-law is a builder and often works down there. Any sign in their vans that it is from Southampton invariably means that the van gets trashed, and that does not happen up here in civilisation; the only incident I can recall was a couple of thugs chasing a car with a pompey badge in the window, and that was such a rare occurence that it made headlines in the Echo. The so-called "rivalry" was entirely initiated by pompey; when I was a kid back in the sixties, most of the Saints fans I saw at the Dell were pleased if the half time scores on the tannoy said that pompey or bournemouth were winning at half time. A few seasons ago, bournemouth attempted to start a similar thing but gave up when they realised nobody at Saints had even noticed them. Reading and brighton have tried it as well.
  19. I can supply the piano wire.
  20. This made me feel sick to my stomach. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-26957478 How anybody could even consider doing this to an animal is beyond my comprehension. Utterly vile. And she'll be out in 18 weeks or less. :x
  21. Think you'll find that's a typo tokes, as he already has that.
  22. lmao, yes we probably have #proudtobeasaint
  23. Not so odd really, with the team already pencilled in for 8th/9th and nothing more to play for, and the summer transfer window swiftly looming.
  24. Get off the fence.
