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.

How cruel. Just because he's a carrot-top and looks nothing like the rest of the clan, that's no reason to cast aspersions on Saint Diana.

He obviously realises that the Royals are far superior to him. Some of us aren't so gullible.

I think that opinion may change when the Queen goes to the great palace in the sky. Charles is by no means universally liked, and the other two aren't exactly the brightest sparklers in the box. Once Lizzie's gone, there may be more searching questions asked about their role and value to the country.

As long as I can opt out of paying the proportion of the price of goods that is spent on the advertising that funds ITV. (I think that we've had this argument before).

Presumably your MEP voted on it. He's accountable to the electorate (although we seem to hear very little from them).

Kate Bush did a great version of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing"

I do like Walking Dead but what annoyed me in the last episode was why, when the zombies were approaching the broken down vehicles, the people didn't just run away. The zombies can only manage a snail's pace. Bit like when someones being chased by a car, they always seem to run in the middle of the road instead of darting sideways up some alleyway or narrow path.
