  1. What a bunch of nancy boys! What's wrong with wire wool and sheep fat?
  2. Is it a true story??
  3. Imagine the half-time queues at St Marys.....
  4. Chrome - faster than IE although I occasionally come across sites that will only properly work with IE.
  5. Obviously admirers of the McCanns.

    New York

    Brilliant place. We were there for 5 days - not nearly long enough. Loads to see and do, the natives are quite direct but very friendly. Went on a Virgin package and stayed on West 34th St near Macys and the Empire State. Not a place to go if you're on a diet as the portions are huge.
  7. We've often used Geeves in Shirley. Always reliable and very reasonable. 02380783270
  8. I believe that she did attend in 2007 but 1976 was the last time that she handed out the medals. Obviously she thought that after Saints everything else would be an anti-climax.
  9. Now on The Echo site. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9744892.Criticism_for_Saints_over_tickets_for_visually_impaired_fans/
  10. On Radio Solent. Don't know if there are any concessions.
  11. Announced this morning. Penny-pinching or hard-headed commercial sense??
  12. Bring Out the Bodies by Hilary Mantell. The sequel to Wolf Hall continuing the story of Thomas Cromwell as chief advisor and fixer for Henry VIII. Henry has his eye on Jane Seymour and Cromwell has to come up with a way of removing his present wife, Anne Boleyn.
  13. Not good news for Gary Barlow according to the Daily Mash: Gary Barlow trapped in Queen's arse SURGEONS are working to free Take That toady Gary Barlow after he became wedged inside the Queen. Barlow wore a special shiny suit to reduce friction. The singer and organiser of Buckingham Palace’s Diamond Jubilee Concert had been fawning over the monarch during a meeting about what colour trousers Madness should wear. When she fell asleep, he clambered into her backside. Unfortunately his passage into the Queen’s body was blocked by antipodean lickspittle Rolf Harris, who already resides in her colon where he has a permanent studio. Surgeons now have less the 24 hours to remove Barlow from Her Majesty’s lower intestine before jubilee celebrations begin. Doctor Stephen Malley said: “Barlow has somehow become wedged sideways in the Queen, I think because he was trying to punch and kick Rolf Harris. “We’re trying to get a rope around his torso so we can drag him out like a calf.” He added: “Ordinarily we would let Gary Barlow pass through the Queen’s body naturally or with the aid of mild laxatives, but given the impending celebrations we have to be more aggressive. “This weekend the world’s media will be focused on the Queen, and were she to give rectal birth to a middle-aged man in the midst of it all there would be an absolute furore. “Also of course Barlow would then technically be a prince, and the Queen would have to give him a county and a special soldier outfit, neither of which he deserves.”
  14. So was Phil ****ging his sister-in-law or was the dad someone else??
  15. Steve Baker, especially after the 2-0 home defeat against P*mpey at The Dell where he was at fault for both goals. To be fair, he always gave maximum effort and could probably had a good career a league or two below the top flight. Oddly enough, my nipper is now mates with his son.
  16. I'd be careful if I were you........... http://newsthump.com/2012/05/28/sol-campbell-warns-england-fans-at-euro-2012-they-risk-seeing-team-play/
  17. Sorry. Wrong thread.
  18. "A Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England". Following on from the previous one about medieval England, it's a fascinating read. When I did history at school, it was all about Kings and Queens and battles. This book looks at the life of ordinary people. What they ate, how they dressed, what work they did, how they travelled, crime, sex, religion - it's all in there.
  19. If you like Indian, the Jehangir in Winchester Road at the top of Hill Lane is top class. Nice atmosphere and surroundings and superb toilets. http://www.jehangir.co.uk/
  20. No, foreign consortia were going to build 5 new plants but the Germans have pulled out and, with the change of government in France, the 2 French ones are also looking doubtful. In Parliament earlier this week, the Energy Minister could not say if any of the planned plants will be built.
  21. At least I can stop worrying about Season Ticket prices....
  22. Soul Limbo by Booker T. Synonymous with the BBC coverage of Test Matches.
  23. Only £8.00 to get in. Are they taking the ****? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturenews/9274597/Empty-plinth-and-blank-piece-of-paper-to-feature-in-exhibition-of-invisible-art.html

    Euro Banks

    True, the ordinary customer shouldn't be affected but banks lend to each other so, if Spanish banks go under, it could affect UK banks profitability (if they've got any).
  25. Rayures rouges et blanches.
