Don't forget the Poll in the bottom right corner. What should Steve Cotterill do to rectify Pompey’s leaky defence? 39% The Mokoena - Rocha partnership is the way forward 16% Bring Hreidarsson into the side 20% Leaving Sonko on the bench would be a good start 25% Sign a new central defender Proud to be one of the 25%! Let's hope that the FA get to know about this extra loanee on the pitch though!

But you found it!

It's a practice that has been happening for years, long before the various debates about conserving energy or climate problems. http://www.spiraxsarco.com/uk/products-services/applications-overview.asp Search for Hotwells and Blowdown return vessels.

Oh yes they can, and they will if you issue such a damning statement as that!

Hmmmmmmmmm

Indubitably.

That'll do. Puncheon V Holloway would be a SKY Box office!

I like what Lawrie brought to the club but he has to move on. He did it once, when Sunderland came calling in 1985 (I know he'd left us 5 days earlier, but pull the other one if you think the events were unconnected). So it was easy to drop us. As quoted in the article, someone at the club has told him that times have moved on. He shouldn't be resurrecting this whenever a suitable opportunity arises. It's cynical muckraking and not befitting his tenure or achievements and the respect we still have for him. Don't diminish that respect Lawrie, drop it now and enjoy the present.

There is talk 'in another place' of BT signing a house tenancy locally, so there is also the obvious mullarkey of him coming on loan. Which makes me ponder the possibility of a titanic clash of egos with Puncheon and a total car crash of a promotion drive for Saints as we all watch the Puncheon Beattie show.. No to BT and certainly we need to get shot of this little fella as well. If half is true then he is not fit to wear the shirt. Ability or not.

This. More concisely, we are not a big time club, we weren't when in the PL, but I see us as the best club in the world. However, buying crepe like these scarves gives the impression that this is 'our cup final'. Well it ain't! and all those plastics 'givin it large' will love it. It's a 4th Rnd F.A.Cup tie. Nothing of real importance to us because we have a different agenda this season. Don't get me wrong, it would be great to win and send the Manchester fans scuttling back into their bolt holes around the country, but we need something more than winning a cup tie, we need promotion. I couldn't wear the scarve of another club, even if half of it had a Saints crest on it.

Presumably the sk8s believe all the crepe within that article? Lampoon certainly thinks they will.

Talk of reading from an idiot sheet! Back to Dell. They called me this morning and advised that the laptop "will be collected on the 21st January betwwen 8 am and 6 pm, can you confirm the address we are to collect from" "Yes, 23 ..." "NO NO NO sir! It will be collected on the 21st" " Yes, I know, I'm listening to you, are you listening to me and yourself?" "Why?" " Because you asked me to confirm my address, not when it will be picked up and, anyway, the 23rd is a Sunday" "Oh.....sorry sir I thought you had made a mistake" "The only mistake I made ws buying from Dell"

I can only surmise that the entity, known as PCFC, has, closely cossetted between both hands, the collective gonads of all in charge of football. And every now and then they squeeze them a tad, just so we know who is boss.

My Dell story, no not footy related. Just prior to Christmas my Daughter's netbook came up with the BSOD. I got into the onboard diagnostics and ran them. Googled the error code which indicated either an O.S. or H.D. problem. Noted it all down and rang Dell Support. Recanted my story, twice, to the geek who then took me through exactly what I had just done. He opted to arrange collection for repair but "You are out of warranty sir" "No, I'm not, we have 15 months warranty which ends in 19 days time, it says so on the web page when I enter my service tag number" "Aah! that is only 15 months for the dealer just in case he doesn't clear stocks quickly" "Don't give me that, it says nothing of the sort and, for your information and just in case you remove it, I have a screen shot which is date and time stamped" "Oh! my mistake sir, we are happy to honour your warranty" Thinks, too effing right! Between Christmas and New Year the machine returns. I load the Security and Firefox. Attach an external drive and start to reload all the data. After ten minutes it hangs and I get an error message " Running low on hard disk space". So I check, the HD has been wrongly formatted and I can only see 14.65Gb, although the bios tells me it's a 160Gb SATA1, not only that but I'm now being prompted to search for the webcam drivers (which were on the PC at purchase). Back on the blower and the geek has to connect to me, so I have to disable my security while he does it. "We'll have to collect it sir, but your warranty is out of date" "No! it isn't, it runs out on Jan 9th" "Aah yes! Do you have the discs for the O.S." "No, this netbook has no optical drive and the system ships without discs, but you have all the details on screen in front of you so you should be able to see that" "Oh sir, sorry sir, we'll collect the machine and repair it for you" "I wish to speak to your line manager" So the head bossgeek comes on and is all apologetic, don't worry we'll sort this out for you. Off the PC went. It arrived back on Jan 7th and on immediate boot it worked fine, no driver issues etc. Loaded all her data easily. Saturday evening, about ten she shows me the BSOD. They are not open on Sunday so on Monday 10th, warranty now gone but their work still covered, I call again. Blah, blah, blah ad infinitum. Sorry, we'll pick it up to repair it. Today, Jan 19th it arrived. I now refer those who have stayed thus far, back to paragraph two. Small HD, no webcam drivers. They are going to pick it up again and this time the head honchogeek is going to PERSONALLY supervise the repair to my satisfaction. In February I'll be looking for two laptops. Will I buy Dell? Will I hell Dell seem to have nobody, but nobody, to talk to about this. It's all by e-mail and the mails don't get answered. It this machine fails again I'm afraid it's time for a legal move.

Meanwhile, like us, others don't take TCWTB tooooooo seriously!

I'd rather that nobody joined them, except those who have already joined. With nobody leaving them, leaving some sat on their a553s haemorrhaging cash from the business while waiting to trigger contract extensions. This way is the way forward. Either Chinny stumps up in a valliant effort or, hopefully, he decides to call it a day and close it all down.

At last! A positive post.

It will get him off the wage bill and put £500K into the C.V.A. which is what they are trying to do in the name of 'fiscal prudence'. Right?

Put out a strong team, we would have anyway if fulfilling the league fixture due that day, give our best and see what happens. If we lose then we can hold our heads up having given a good account and there is the League to concentrate on. If we win then Happy Days, great lolage at the Plastics and more money to come into the club via another cup game. Win win situation IMHO.

You must have been dealing with a totally different set of people than I did then. I went on Wednesday for the 12.00 opening. They had a problem with the system and couldn't serve immediately (another issue I might add) but they sent a message by Security all along the queue to keep us informed. When an elderly gentleman fainted I stepped to the front, excused myself and requested a First Aider A.S.A.P. One arrived in minutes. I had our two season tickets plus customer numbers and post codes for two friends. They dealt quickly and politely with my request. The fellow behind me only had 3 of the 4 season ticket booklets with him, they sorted his problem also. All the while the staff dealt with a whole raft of differing issues and everyone I saw came away happy with their service. Please, if it was that bad, take it up with the ticket office. I'm sure they will be pleased to hear, and help, with constructive criticism.

I keep telling the kids they contain beaks and claws but didn't realise they were quite THAT bad!

Dune?
