Thursday it is then, cruise missile factories must be running short on orders. Hope they've not something nasty in the woodshed that pitched up from Iraq in the 90s then.

but Southampton being a seafaring city you can understand why tow is more natural to some than toe when associated with line. only a mild smack on the wrist offence in the 1988 Spelling and Grammar Police guidelines...Southampton edition.

what like last year ?

you obviously went to Valley Parade in 76 then.

Advice on travelling through France please
Window Cleaner replied to bridge too far's topic in The Lounge
look I don't know why you are all arguing with me over these things, I've lived in France for nigh on 30 years and i know the law. Alcotest are obligatory but their absence is not sanctioned for the time being, it's nothing to do with Sarkozy though it's to do with reliability; Sarkozy is a lawyer, his family are lawyers, they don't make alcotests. Hi-viz vest 1 is obligatory for the driver, after that it's not obligatory for anyone who doesn't get out of the car in case of breakdown or whatever. You can get out of your car on a quiet country road for a slash and won't get sanctioned if you're not wearing your hi viz vest. It's more on the motorways and main through routes. -

Mercedes have everything that you need apart from the illegal refrigerating gas in the Air Conditioning. I did hear tell that you couldn't register quite a few Mercedes models in France because of the said illegal gas, don't know where they are with that now. -
don't you have to say vertically challenged in our day and age ?

clash obviously, Steely Dan perhaps

I think it's more a case of muslims not attacking other muslim countries, there is absolutely no reason why the Turks can't do this. The Turkish army has about 80000 professionals and 30+K conscripts, they are right next door, they have the aviation necessary but as per usual they want the non-islamics to be seen as agressors. The Syrian army is probably so fragilised by nigh on 2 years of internal combats that if any sizeable arab nation put their mind to it it would all be over in a few days but that would put them in bad standing with Iran I suppose. We need to stay well out of it, let them sort themselves out for once.

Still think we'll start Gaston and Ossie, need to get them clicking before Saturday, otherwise we probably won't score against Norwich.

probably need a new mascot.

indeed, it's a we'll buy your latest plane/missile/frigate if you show how good it is by going and duffing up our enemies with it.

which is exactly how I see a reserve, traditionalism really i suppose, when you read in the Echo that Sid Bloggs was going to be promoted from the reserves to the first team as a replacement for Joe Super who'd scored 90 already this season your heart sank and you did not look forward to Sat afty as much as usual. We had quite a few of those at Saints, scored shedloads in the reserves but were totally useless in the first team, what was the name of that fellamelad Les something or other. Harwood perhaps

signal zones and not points where there are radars both fixed and mobile. For instance that treacherous one at Blincourt on the road to Amiens from Paris, my GPS shows it up as being somewhere within the town (well it's a field with 2 barns really) but not at it's exact location which is about 20 metres before the town exit sign on a straight line with no houses or anything. -

no it's permitted providing it's not a stand alone radar early warning device, those are illegal.The GPS system has to be corrected (a ptch available from the makers) to signal radars in a zone and not in a specific location, mine shows up radars with about a 1500 metre radius or something like that. Back to the hi viz vests. No Whitey it's 1 per car, I think some unscrupulous purveyor of said vests has taken advantage of your good nature. Obviously if you've got one for everyone so much the better but legally it's one for the driver. -

As per usual they have to catch you doing it first. It's all a job creation scheme in the provinces, the habitual alcotests are said to lose their efficiency if stored at above 30°C and thet's frequent anywhere south of Dunkirk in the summer. They're obligatory but non-possession isn't sanctioned for the time being. On the vest and the triangle it's 90euros per missing item. On the Satnav, no that's bollix radar early warning devices are in theory illegal but if the device is installed as a driver security aid it's acceptable. You can find lists of the type of appliance accepted and not accepted but all those integrated originally usually pass muster. -
ah but for me those are first team players, it's a squad game as I keep getting told.

no just for one person who's likely to have to get out in case of an emergency. Mine's under the seat, never been used but quite a few ploucs actually drive around with the vest permanently hung on the seat. oh and by the way i wouldn't worry overmuch with the headlights, nobody else does. Truckers don't stick bits of plastic on their headlights when the cross the channel in either sense, neither do I. -
do we in fact have any reserves ? We have the first team squad, a handful of dissaffected players and the U21s who played yesterday. We'll have to go with quite a few first teamers if we want to be sure of avoiding an ignominious defeat, say 4 or 5 at least.

did you know that the Moroccan army outnumbers the British Army ? And yet I don't think they're involved in Afghanistan or Iraq . Seems to be just a fictious solution to local unemployment, probably a conscript army which as we all know is worth the square root of sod all. My boy says that their Navy officiers were of about the same value.

don't need a first aid kit...I haven't got one. In theory you need an alcohol test but non possession of one isn't punished for the time being. You need a red triangle and a flourescent yellow vest plus the aforementioned alcohol test if you want to be totally kosher. -
correct, I see that the Turks are now demanding action, why don't they just go and get on with it then. It would seem to me that they have had no scruples in the past when pursuing airstrikes on Syrian kurds so if they want action just let them go and get on with it, no-one will mind and they can always trump up an excuse, them being neighbours and all. All that I can see here is the US just itching to provoke Iran and an excuse to go after them..some history of red line or other.

probably just found out he's playing with a bunch of U18s against Barnsley tonight.
-
especially with that Campbell bloke (ex MU of course) winning against Citeh all by himself. Looked a much better player than Lambert in respect of agility and physical impact. Still can't see Lambert being dropped just like that. He'll be in this time but needs to start getting on the PL scoresheets from open play cos penalty kings are not much in demand.

Mata criticised Mourihno's decisions at Madrid methinks, Casilias perhpas.
