Remember him saying that, at the end of the Man U game when we were relegated, the fans still applauded the team off. He said "We didn't deserve that, we'd let them down."

The Winston have shown the last couple.

Why did he have his photo taken in the toilets?

Is his head already in Southampton?

The legendary Jack Bruce, bass player in Cream has died age 71.

A Tory MEP was being interviewed about this on R4 this morning. When asked when they first knew about this, all he would say was "It's a disgrace". The interviewer asked the question 3 times but got the same answer.

According to the latest IPSOS-MORI poll, while UKIP support has been growing in the polls, the percentage of people wishing to remain in the EU has grown from 41% in late 2011 to 56% now. Those wishing to leave have fallen from 49% to 36% over the same period. There is also a majority that wish to stay in among the supporters of the 3 main parties. https://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3463/Support-for-EU-membership-highest-for-23-years-even-as-UKIP-rises-in-the-polls.aspx

According to the Met Office, the rain should die out at about 1.00 and not start again till about 6.00, which should do nicely.

It left at midnight last night.

Saw it from work as it came up Southampton Water. Had my camera ready but it was too foggy for any decent shots. It's big!!

As you're in SO16, go and see Pete King in Salem St (just off St James Road). Decent, honest bloke and a Saints season ticket holder. I've used him for years without any problems.

That's a bit too blatant. Just loosen the valves a bit, leave it for a an hour or so, then tighten them back up. They'll come out to flat tyres but no obvious cause.

I lost my brother to lung cancer last year. When we were discussing funeral music, I thought about the old Holllies hit "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)" but we got distracted on something else so I never suggested it. I was annoyed with myself later but, by then it was too late. A week or 2 later I was helping sort through his things and when we'd finished, I got into the car to go home, switched on the radio and this song started. It wasn't half way through or anything, it was as though they were waiting for me to turn the radio on. Obviously a coincidence, or was it?

Didn't he score in that snowy Monday night game against Liverpool? I think it was Alan Ball's first game in charge after the departure of Branfo*t.

Solent Sky, down by Ocean Village is also worth a visit. Doesn't look much from the outside but inside is a Sandringham flying boat that you can wander around, a Spitfire, a Supermarine S6A (Schneider Trophy) and a host of others. Loads of exhibits concerning the history of aviation in the Solent area. http://www.solentskymuseum.org/

Perhaps he's heard that Pete Waterfield's from Southampton and is hoping to get some lessons.

I'll bet his missus has got a big smile on her face this morning.

There is a bus.

The thing that always struck me about evening games was coming in off a dark wet Milton Road and always being surprised at how green the pitch looked under the lights. Other memories for the oldies: the Albion Band and that big canvas pocket thing that they carried round the pitch at half time for the crowd to throw coins into. And waiting for them to hang the half-time scores on the board between the West Stand and the Archers, then you had to look in the programme to decode them.

One of the best things about being short (I'm 5ft 7in) is being reasonably comfortable in Economy on a plane.

As the Tories are pretty much universally hated in Scotland, probably not a good idea for Cameron to start lecturing them.

If the Yes lot win, will you be Scottish on the basis of residency or of birth (or some combination of both)?

A long read but a good explanation of the cuplability of the Saudis and Qataris in the funding of ISIS. http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2014/4134wahhabi_terrs.html So, what action are we taking against them? Bug*er all because they might stop buying weapons from us. Morals have no place in politics.

Never happened when Cortese was in charge.

If you actually read the report, it appears that the "troops" ie the Child Protection Officers on the ground had flagged up these issues ages ago. It was their managers who did nothing and in one case completely suppressed a report. Many of these have since moved to senior posts in other Local Authorities and the then Council Leader is now the Police and Crime Commissioner and sees no reason why he should resign. The current Council leader did the decent thing and stepped down. What do Local Authority managers have to do to get sacked?
