  1. I'm after a real Lacoste Polo at a good price. Can anyone vouch for good place that sells them online? I'll be steering well clear of ebay, as it's full of fake rubbish. That said there are some superb King Apparel polo's on there for £17 (unknown brand so doubtful they'd be faked) and I can vouch for the quality and fit of this brand. Really classic un poserish designs IMO. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KING-Apparel-Streetwear-Celeste-Polo-Grey-S-M-L-/220748266138?pt=UK_Men_s_Jumpers_Cardigans&var=&hash=item7914552e9d http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KING-Apparel-Streetwear-Celeste-Polo-Green-S-M-L-/320665368995?pt=UK_Men_s_Jumpers_Cardigans&var=&hash=item76c00020c3
  2. Let's make it a picture contest then. My (first) contribution.
  3. Some restaurants let you take your own wine. I think that's a great idea.

    Grave lengths

    Thankyou. As stated I have asked for set dimensions, but will also check the documentation for the plot.

    Grave lengths

    It's a parish council, as oposed to a town or city council, so doesn't have much information on the website. I knew he was trying to waffle his way out of it because he got quite rude when I got down to the specifics. I have asked for the set measurements. My suspician is that the councillor I spoke to (who was until recently chairman of the parish council) told the grave digger to cram a few more in by reducing the size of the plots. I intend to contact the grave digger and to ask him why the plot size (length) has been reduced by 14" because grave diggers are professional people and do not take it upon themselves to dig holes as they see fit - he must have been instructed to reduce the size - and my suspician is that it was the ex chairman of the council who instructed him to do so. If and when I get to the bottom of this there is going to be fireworks at the next council meeting because it's not for councillors to make decisions off their own back and the said councillor has already rubbed me up the wrong way over a footpath dispute. He told someone it'd be ok to gate off a footpath a while back and myself and others kicked off about it and he ended up resigning as chairman so we have a bit of history and I don't like his attitude. At the council meeting on this matter it was decided that the gate was not legal and it was supposed to have been removed. However it hasn't and has since then been permanently left open. The said footpath has been a public right of way dating back to the middle ages and when i'm at the next meeting to let rip over the burial ground I will also want to know why the council have not had the gate completely removed.
  6. This must have been the cultural highlight of the year. The Caravan Gallery needs your help to create a growing participatory exhibition celebrating the unique character of Portsmouth, not just the obvious things but unfamiliar, overlooked details and hidden secrets. Go for a walk, take some photos, eavesdrop a few conversations, make notes, collect things. An entire wall will be set aside for your observations. Come along and complete an unusually entertaining Portsmouth survey, make a postcard or souvenir, record a video portrait, add something to our map. Space gallery will become a centre for urban exploration for a month, an alternative visitor information centre. This is your chance to help The Caravan Gallery create The People’s Guide to Portsmouth! http://www.strong-island.co.uk/2011/04/17/the-caravan-gallery-exhibition-launch/
  7. Does anyone have a photo of the banner draped accross a footbridge on the route into Southampton from one of the derby games? PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CARAVANS AT THE PARK AND RIDE
  8. Nice lot. I'd love to own it and can't believe you'd want to sell it.

    Grave lengths

    I'm currently in dispute with the parish council and am in no mood to back down. I've just been down to the cemetary, after a heated argument on the phone, and a councillor informed me that the distance (length) between graves is 101" but then I measured another row and they were 115". I'm not happy because someone has put a cremation stone in "no mans land" at the feet of my father. He thought he'd won the arghument until I measured graves in another row and then he got quite agitated. I've now asked for the official council length and that the matter be raised at the next parish meeting which I will attend. He tried saying grave yards are not dead accurate and said who cares when you're dead to which I replied that he should care or he shouldn't be on the council. Does anyone know if there is a set measure or not?

    Deppo

    Just checked who's following him on twitter and noticed nineteen canteen is. He was banned early 2009 and Verbal joined soon after. Totally unrelated of course.
  12. I was justing reading the "Caravan Times" (as you do) and notice that Alan McLoughlin and Guy Butters are raising funds in aid of the Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation. Please give generously to this worthy cause. http://www.caravantimes.co.uk/news/people+and+places+news/mpcp/2466975-3-10/
  13. This is not a good reason to boycott the programme, but the hike in ticket prices on top of the £3 ticket tax is a good reason to boycott the programme.

    Amsterdam

    Check out hotel prices on here: http://www.myamsterdam.co.uk/ I have found that http://www.mygibraltar.co.uk/ far undercuts the prices offered by travelrepublic etc and the agents represented on travel comparison search engines such as travelsupermarket.
  15. Coventry away. We'll win 1-0. Ostenstad will score.

    Deppo

    It wouldn't do any harm if he did though. It's only an internet forum when all is said and done.
  17. Baj has always been fair so I don't buy this for a minute. I got banned (due to some very petty infractions from DSM) and he was decent enough to sort things out. There's some really harsh comments being made by a lot of people that haven't got a clue.
  18. If Deppo is reinstated then the same rules will have to apply to everyone. I would suggest letting him back on 3 posts a day for a set period and then if he behaves he is reinstated back to normal.

  20. Spot on. Going to the football is a habit, and fans are taken for granted, but once you break the habit of going regularly you soon get used to it. Throughout life you have hobbies that you are keen on and then you move on. That is not to say you can stop following the club, you just get used to doing it in moderation, and then ultimately don't go at all. There's always the match thread.
  21. Not necessarily. If the bin man has a wife (that doesn't work) and kids then this reduction might push him into becoming another benefits scrounger. He might be better off with his rent and council tax payed by the state. This is why i'm totally against pay freezes or reductions for those who are already on the breadline. These people are a nats arses away from milking the system and that will cost more than giving them a small pay rise which they deserve. The council should think again and instead cut back hard at the non jobs in the council offices. Bin men are far more important than the town twinning comitee.
  22. Ah right, see you've started a thread with your stupid post 1976 and there was me not quoting you when you posted it in the hope you edited it. You're well out of order with that comment. I would suggest you apologise if you're not banned by the time your hangover wears off.

    Don't talk like a **** 1976 (I haven't quoted your post to give you the chance to modify it). Some of you found Deppo funny, I didn't. StuRomseySaint was a far bigger loss when it came to humour.
