Many years ago myself and a colleague had to give a demonstration of some technical equipment to Terry Duffy who was then leader of the Engineering Union and was visiting the company. He was a very affable bloke and when we finished we said jokingly "Don't we get a tip then?" He said "I'll give you a tip. Stay away from women, they're nothing but trouble".

Breach of the Peace is a very wooly law. You can be arrested if, in the opinion of a police officer, you remaining where you are is likely to cause a breach of the peace. It's not a criminal offence, more a preventative measure.

Jolly decent of them to show their respect on Armistice Day. Near the Cenotaph as well.

Presumably this was the infamous Portswood Link - a motorway standard road into the centre of town. It was eventually modified and downgraded and became Thomas Lewis Way but for many years in the 70s a lot of properties in Portswood and St Denys were virtually unsaleable as it was planned that the road would pass nearby.

I think it's late 80s. The chocolate boxes had gone and the Milton was one big terrace. Also the other picture I posted from the same time shows the Lower East Stand when it was divided between bench seats at the Milton end and terraces at the Archers.

He can't be in the EDL because his neck isn't wider than his head..

What's your wife like then?

Bit of a revolution when they first opened at Eastleigh in the mid 70s. No other retailer had such a range at such competitive prices. Unfortunately, when they got absorbed into Currys, PC World etc they became box shifters and they dropped the high-quality brands.

When in opposition, Theresa May said: "Ministers must stop blaming officials when something goes wrong in their department"

Back in the Dell days there was usually a reserve game on Saturday afternoon when the first team were away. Free to season-ticket holders. If you had small kids, it was a good way of seeing if they would be interested before taking them to a first-team game.

32 wins, 27 by knockout. Only lost to Ali and Foreman. One of the greats.

If you get that wound up over a TV news programme, I think that you should seek medical help.

And another one...

Nostalgia is not what it used to be

I too have a weakness for Sugar Puffs but as a token gesture to healthy eating, I mix them with Special K or muesli.

You certainly went the long way round.

Back in the 90's when my nipper was small we used to go to the display at Wordsworth School in Shirley. They had a huge bonfire and a really good display along with hotdogs, burgers etc. Only a couple of quid, always very well attended and raised a useful amount for the school. The the 'elf'n'safety lot got involved, the bonfire was banned and they had to take out very expensive insurance. It was therefore no longer viable and so they gave up.

Under the East Stand after we'd conceded a soft foul. "C'mon ref, it's a man's game, not a poof's game. If it was a poof's game, I'd be out there"

I'll send you a copy of my spreadsheet.........

We used Cookerburra. They're a franchise and the local operators were excellent. It was about 2 years ago and cost about £50. Very thorough. Dismantled the cooker as much as possible and took the bits out to his van where the nasty chemicals were.

Not an annoyance but I'm amazed at how much time some people spend on here. Don't they have any work to do or other interests in life?

Half-time against Villa at The Dell, we were 2-0 up. Bloke behind me on the East Stand benches: "West Ham aren't the team they were." Well, the shirts are similar.

Not built for comfort, but built to last..

We used to get a lot of callers at work asking us to answer a survey. I always asked how much would they pay me, which seemed to mystify them. I explained that they were getting paid to do the survey but, without people supplying the raw data, the survey would be useless so we should be paid for supplying it. That usually shut them up.

If there was any truth in the transcript, I'm sure that the NOTW would have tapped a few phones and dug up some dirt on him.
