How much is "a significant" fee? It's annoying that the club rarely disclose the amount as I want something to brag about to non saints fans I know.

There's nothing about the plot size on the documentation, however there is a burial ground map that was discussed in the minutes in 2004 which i requested in the email that disapreared which i've just delivered. As for dropping people in it they were quick enough to blame the grave digger which is bang out of order and a case of dumping the blame on the little man so I have nothing tugging at my conscience in this respect. If they'd held their hands up and admitted that a councillor undemocratically took it upon himself to cram a few more graves in and apologised i'd have accepted this and just told them to make sure that they don't do it again and start the next row with a decent and respectful plot, but they didn't so i'm not going to back down. They seem to do as they like and act like feudal lords of the manor.

Right, a couple of updates. I sent several emails to the clerk of the council who told me she'd passed them on to the chairman. I received no reply from the chairman so today phoned him up and he said he'd not recieved my email and requests therein. I have just personally delivered them to him. He said the discrepency in size was nothing much (15 inches is nothing much to him) and that it's fault of the grave digger who made them smaller and tha there is no conspiracy to cram more people in. I told him to his face that a grave digger is a professional at what he does. A professional hedge layer doesn't start a hedge at 5 foot at one end and finnish at 4 foot at the other end. I then requested that when I go to the meeting I want it on the agenda and minuted as requested about a month ago. He suggested that it was discussed before the meeting... I smelt a rat. I then demanded it was minuted - can I demand this? Anyway i've just got the phone number of the grave digger (which he said he didn't have nor know who the grave digger was - yeah right) and asked him whether he would reduce a plot size off his own back and explained that he was getting the blame. He told me that a parish councillor lays out the plot and he digs it and that he would not tae it upon himself to reduce a plot size especially by 14 or 15 inches. So now I need your advice. How best to tackle the meeting? I'm thinking get them to blame the grave digger and let them waffle on for a bit and then reveal that i've spoken to the grave digger and ask them whether it's true that a councillor las out the plot. Any suggestions of how best to get them to drop themselves in it?

90% of real ales because they taste rank.

Can't believe how many of you hate marrow. I have one that is currently 24 inches and am looking forward to eating it. Try boiling diced marrow with runner beans and serving with white sauce. mmm.

I quite like the smiley face. It reminds me of a design on some Ecstasy pills from the 90's.

Rod Jackson, CEO said “We are really delighted at the launch of the new Saints home kit after weeks of speculation. I believe the aap3 logo compliments the kit exceptionally well and we feel very proud to have our name associated with everyone at Southampton Football Club. We hope it brings both the club and us much success”. http://www.aap3.com/2011/07/20/southampton-fc-home-kit-reveal/

Perhaps if you explain the difficulty we will be able to come up with a solution...

Why don't you take it out of the bag?

The new kit is growing on me.

Probably the only brand you can spell.

That's so fascinating and so relevent to the thread.

As we're minted we ought to keep him on the books and let him rot. Terrible attitude and deserves all he gets.

Try splitting journeys instead of booking a complete journey in one go. Sometimes it works out cheaper.

Saw this video when he joined us and knew straight away he was sound. [video=youtube;7jJ3Bs-lwGk]

People called Adrian really annoy me. People called Colin are cool.

Is that the crest of Islamabad United?

The entrenching of ghettos, the collapse of cultural cohesion, the fostering of extremist views and the growing challenge to traditional British values of fair play and freedom of expression were all results of Labour’s “no limits” policy. Then there is the extra pressure on housing and public services and the worsening of employment prospects for indigenous workers to consider. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/259694/Shutting-the-stable-door Will you join me in applauding the views of Labour peer Lord Glasman?

I hoped it would have a collar, but that said Nicola is smart and he's clearly targeting sales at those who live in council houses. A shrewd move.

Indeed. I have distant relatives from shirley so i'm a bit of a tramp. It'll take me back to my roots.

It's a weed.
