He did indeed run The Sun in Romsey. My dad worked for Strongs Brewery at the time and Dennis told him how Terry Paine was Ted Bate's blue-eyed boy. When they arrived for training John would get a curt "Morning, Hollowbread" from Ted whereas with Paine it would be "Good morning, Terry how are you today, son?" Apparently he could do no wrong in Ted's eyes.

Mrs ecuk268 has a Fire HD. She's not particularly tech savvy so finds it good for e-mails, web browsing, books and BBC iPlayer. You can borrow e-books from our library and fairly easily convert them for the Kindle. There's also loads of free e-books on the web, some legal and others not so legal.

Terrific player who benefited greatly from two excellent wingers (Paine and Sydenham) who supplied him with crosses.

Our best midfielder and a worthy replacement for Steve Williams. Branfoots biggest mistake in letting him go.

Courtesy of NewsThump: The future of the Mail Online has been thrown into doubt following calls to ban websites that promote hate and intolerance. The online version of the Daily Mail could be closed down following an incident in the Cotswolds in which a Guardian reader of ‘questionable gender’ was snared in a beartrap. Although no one group has admitted responsibility for the attack, anti-happiness organisation Christians Against Moral-Free Godless Sodomites have called for people to ‘take to the streets’ in the fight against things that don’t really affect them. Speaking of areas with a high density of Guardian readers, anti-hate campaign spokesperson Nigel Wells warned that the streets could soon be running with hummus and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar unless something is done. “There is a war coming,” he insisted. “This war won’t be fought in some far-flung country thousands of miles away. It will be fought on the streets of Britain. “On one side you’ll have people who are adamant that the cause of the current economic crisis is the fault of Thatcher and Reagan, Page 3 models, processed food and people with a slap-dash attitude to recycling. “On the other you’ll have people who insist that it’s down to immigration, homosexuals, homosexual immigrants, women in trousers, aggressive homosexuals, aggressive homosexual immigrants and aggressive transgender immigrants in EU trousers.” “Why can’t people just hate each other in peace?” I think, therefore I am (not a Daily Mail reader)

No profits for the arms companies if they did that. Where would retiring ministers go for their cushy directorships?

No, two Englishmen did it. Both born in the UK, educated in the UK and one from a strict Christian family.

Our cordless house phone did a full cycle in the washing machine. Left it in a warm place for a week or so and it recovered although it wasn't as loud as before.

True, but they don't use sirens after about 8.00pm and you don't really notice them after a while.

Died today aged 92. For the benefit of the youngsters, ITV used to show Wrestling on Saturday afternoons and Mick was a well-known villain. It was all fixed of course but drew large audiences especially female OAPs for some reason.

Why are we looking at last week's table?

I think that my generation was the first that refused to grow old. Thus you still have the Rolling Stones performing to sellout crowds even though they're pushing 70. Bruce Springsteen's the same age as me and he's still doing world tours. When we were first married, we got to know our neighbours at our first house quite well. Although they were only 7 or 8 years older than us, their attitudes were so old-fashioned to us. I think that there was an enormous step-change in the mid 60's and, if you were that bit older, you missed it.

You needed to be the right age. I spent my teenage years in the 60's and I was old enough to remember how boring and repressed and conformist the late 50's were. The 60's were a breath of fresh air for those that weren't already set in their 50's ways. Young people had their own fashions, music and attitudes which I suppose you could say started in the 50's with rock n roll, but really took off in the 60's. Although my parents were everything that parents should be, I didn't want to be like them.

"Pedantic grammar" is a phrase used as an adjective and should be hyphenated.

So, because famous grown men exploit naive young girls, we should change the law so that it's legal. What planet is this woman on?

He owes it all to Saints. We beat them 4-1 in an evening game in 1986 and Ron Atkinson was sacked the next morning, with Fergie taking over. What's often forgotten was that he really struggled for a couple of seasons but they stuck with him. Doubt if that would happen today.

They had an open evening on Friday. Went down with the missus. Loads of free food and soft drinks, coffee etc and lots of samples of the fish, meat, cakes etc that they sell. Haven't been to Makro for years so can't compare but they have an impressive range of stock, even tyres. To get an individual membership you have to involved in (or retired from) certain professions like local government, civil service, education. There's a slight restriction in when you can go. Basically, the mornings are restricted to trade members only.

I went to Grammar school in the 60's (mixed) and it was certainly no bastion of middle-classedness(?). We had a wide range of social backgrounds and the message given to us was that we were as good as anyone else regardless of our origins.

I didn't vote at all as there were no elections in Southampton. It'll be interesting to see what they actually do now they've got some councilors. It's easy to sit on the sidelines sniping away at other parties but they now have to come out and state their policies on all sorts of issues as well as their usual rants about Europe and foreigners. Power brings all sorts of problems as the Lib Dems have discovered.

The Childhood of Jesus by J.M. Coetzee. About a man and boy who arrive in a new land with little memory of what went before. It's the first of his books that I've read. Trouble is, it ends just as it's getting interesting.

Brief preview from the Grauniad: Many folks foresaw Steve Clarke struggling in his debut campaign as a No1 manager but the only bother that West Bromwich Albion have been in all season came via that slapstick Peter Odemwingie skit. Still, the early-season challenge for Europe has long since faded and the task now is to ensure a top-half finish – anything else would be a disappointment given their start to the season. Southampton, however, are well equipped to leapfrog them during the run-in and fulfil Nicola Cortese's ambition of not merely avoiding relegation but doing so in style. Finishing in the top 10 may just convince Roy Hodgson to give Rickie Lambert and Jack Cork (as well Adam Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne and Luke Shaw) a chance and remind Didier Deschamps that Morgan Schneiderlin is French and fantastic.

Wasn't he Lebanese? Also Shakespeare's birthday and anniversary of his death.
