Despite my republican leanings, I think that Liz has done a reasonable job. However, she can't go on for ever so we're faced with the affable but slightly weird Charles. if we have to have a monarch, I see no reason why the whole thing can't be scaled down a bit like the European monarchies. OK, they need a big house with an enormous garden in the centre of London. But they've also an enormous castle set in a huge park in Berkshire, another estate in Norfolk and yet another in Scotland. Do they really need all that?

Scott Parker.

Top of Hill Lane area to Hardley. Usually takes about 20-25 minutes but I have to go through 20 sets of traffic lights so it can make quite a difference if they all happen to be red.

Goals galore. In '89 we scored 4 away at Loftus Rd and the next week 4 at home v Liverpool (even King Kenny admitted that it could have been 8 ) Probably my all-time favourite game in terms of us out-classing the opposition who were, at that time, one of the best in Europe.

Still there.

Me too.

Ken Monkou for 750k was a good buy although, for some reason, Souness hardly ever played him. Only decent thing that Branfo*t ever did.

The problem with Kindle is that, if you buy an e-book from Amazon, you can't pass it on to another Kindle owner (although, in the US, you can lend it to one other person for 2 weeks and then can't lend it to anyone else). I get my fiction books from the excellent Southampton library as there are very few that I would actually want to keep. If they enable libraries to lend e-books, I may consider a Kindle.

CBP - Carlton "Bloody" Palmer.

I was at Barton Peveril in the 60s and, after school, we used to sneak into the railway works to get up close to these enormous steam engines. Fascinating place. Most of the blokes were happy to chat to us but eventually some jobsworth would spot us and sling us out.

Just the one.

You are a man of taste,sir. Closely followed by ACDC.

It's gonna be brass monkeys this weekend. That'll teach them.

Isn't that what they're paid for?

If we got rid of q, would it be Kween Elizabeth or Cween Elizabeth?

Ready, Steady, Crook??

Alpine's perfectly entitled to his opinions and anyone is entitled to disagree. It would be helpful everyone's arguments were logical and based on facts. This is not possible as much of it is subjective. Those of us who go to games get a different view of things to those who don't. But I often go into work on a Monday and, discussing the game with colleagues, wonder if I've been at the same match as views differ considerably. In my view, once you resort to insults you've lost the argument. Name calling belongs in the infant school playground - it just shows weakness of thought and immaturity.

For any non-locals, as it's not a league game, Solent are allowed to put live commentary on their website.

I found it OK but was disappointed with the ending. Nowhere near as good as The Stand.

"It’s very rare for English people to live here any more" Only 45 million in 2009. Were they too thick to realise that the interviewer was taking the p*ss?

That case had more holes than a swiss cheese, not least was the 2 million dollars paid to the chief prosecution witness and the fact that he failed to identify Megrahi 19 times before Megrahi was actually pointed out to him.

Well they did hear all of the evidence, which is more than any of us have.

Dean Hammond (as in Hammond Innes)

The judge seemed to think so.... "The gravity of this case is in my view of a different order from, for example, a murder committed by one individual upon another as a result of some sudden quarrel. There was a degree of general premeditation; it was a racist crime driven by hatred; it involved a gang of like-minded attackers; a lethal weapon was employed and known in advance to be carried; the victim was completely blameless and helpless.
