  1. No problem I was going to put a ;) but got distracted when the cricket came on the Telly.

     

     

    Dont know how old you are but the Doc was a real character a good footballer and manager.

     

     

    Once at Chelsea I think he sent most of his first team players home for some misdemenour and played with reserves

    Fair enough :) He was a bit before my time but I've heard a lot about him, fair play on that Chelsea anecdote, sounds like a no bullsh!t bloke.

  2. I apologise for posting a tongue in cheek post

     

    I apologise for reading it as serious, unfortunately it's hard to differentiate serious and non-serious in words written on the internet :/

  3. so, how exactly, does this 'clock' work?

     

    Im not usually thick and can normally work things out, but this has stumped me!

     

    Basically, scientists meet every now and again and examine factors relating to the end of the world. If say, in a year, Iran creates masses of nuclear missiles and creates an alliance with North Korea, and the polar ice caps melt, then the scientists will probably move the minute hand closer to midnight - midnight being the end. They move the minute hand as an indicator as to how well we are all doing in avoiding a nuclear holocaust/ an environmental disaster.

     

    It was created in the 40's by those scientists who were in the Manhattan project - developing atomic weapons, as they decided that what they had created could destroy everything and they should try and avoid it.

     

    Basically.

  4. Blimey, I did Late History at A-Level, studied the Cold War and that, but I didn't really think about, or realise, the implications on the general public, people like you lot.

     

    Must have been frightening to say the least, nowadays we have all these moral panics (swine flu, terrorism, feral youth roaming the streets with knives and guns) but they don't really compare to the fact two nations had the potential to destroy civilisation at any moment. Scary stuff.

     

    And hamster, I'm going to Millwall tomorrow, I'm not scared :p I'll have a look for that nuclear bunker next time I'm up that way.

  5. lol

    If you sing this and blow bubbles at the same time you could qualify for the 'Men Can Muti-task Award'....

     

    ..and a few others!

     

    Have a great match!

     

    In the eyes of some I might also qualify for the 'twát of the year award' as well :rolleyes:

  6. I've seen him play twice for Rushden and Diamonds and I think people are getting carried away. OK, he's obviously improved since then but talk of paying millions for him and him being a Prem standard striker are astonishing.

     

    He is very quick, and gets in good positions, but both times I saw him his finishing wasn't great. Reminded me of Aaron Mclean of P'boro when he was at Aldershot – loads of speed but disappointing end product. McLean has improved his finishing greatly since then, so I'm not saying Jackson can't be a good CCC player, but Prem? Sceptical about that.

     

    Might be able to get McLean much cheaper than Jackson.

     

    Personally I think we should be playing for now. Jackson may not be a Premier League quality player, but the fact of the matter is we are not in the Premier League, we are in League One, and by most accounts Jackson is a proven L1 player. If we do get to the Prem in 5/6 years or whatever, then I've no doubt that we would not hesitate in spending 7 or 8 million on a proven PL or European striker. Jackson could do a job in getting us out of this league, and perhaps in the CCC.

  7. A couple of my mates from college went to school with a lad who played for both Southampton and Portsmouth youth teams but didn't manage to progress with either.

     

    He now is in the West Ham squad at only 19 years old, and has made a couple of appearances in the Prem. He was at loan at Colchester last year as well.

     

    I consider myself a decent footballer (albeit lacking fitness) but if I was to ever come up against this lad (who is only a year older than me) then I'd have no doubt that he wouldn't just be a class above, he'd be about 100 classes above.

  8. That's what we've done for just about every other player, since the Archers morphed into the Northam.

     

    So where have all these Archers song writer/singers gone?

     

    And let's not just use the Rickie Lambert song with amended words for different players, that's gash.

  9. I remember being in the process of changing jobs during the early 1980's, and the news at the time made a friend of mine suggest that I didn't bother taking up the new job as we wouldn't be around for much longer anyway. Thankfully, I didn't heed his advice.

     

    Bloody hell, did people actually seriously think the world would end?? Obviously I was born after the Berlin Wall came down, I never really grew up with the cold war paranoia, but were people actually like that?
