  1. these tales of my brother or a friend is normally a guise of it actually being the original teller
  2. it would be justice in a strange kind of way. The buying and immediate loan out was always odd
  3. piece of cake
  4. Woolstonbul and Millbrookholm are pleasant I'm told. You have to watch out for pickpockets though. Apparently the jellied hedgehog and squirrel wraps are delicious. My friends visited at night and they said the local youngsters set fire to their cars, it was traditional they were told and then the little rascals threw rocks at the firemen as a greeting.
  5. Hey mack that sailor you have on your avatar has a big pair of balls
  6. we have had other times when the site has been quiet. The times when the site was at its liveliest was during the takeovers /Burley etc. Then it was bedlam. It may be the lull before the storm. The start to the season has disappointed us and we feel very flat due to that. Having adverts would be a backward step IMO
  7. you've ruined it now, it was much better when people were being obscure
  8. Howard Wilkinson! that bore.I must give NC credit if he was prepared to listen to him more than once. IMO People like him are the reason that English football is as it is. You obviously have a real problem with NC and perhaps let that get in the way. SFC is being run as a business, not a plaything for fans and so there will be decisions that we all dislike. We have the choice to go or not, iam stupid enough to have fallen for the product and will put up with it. I was fully prepared to give the habit up when Hoddle was about to return, but at present whilst frustrated at the lack of new faces in certain areas I will let NC get on with it. The sad death of ML has implications and we are in a crucial time IMO as the family may not be so in love with the club and the hassle may become too much and they may cut and run, so I'd be careful before rocking the boat too much, unless that is your aim of course. We don't know if probate is stopping funds finding their way to the club and NC may well be running the club on the money he has at his disposal from club earnings.
  9. have you heard yet that DP has been interviewed by the Echo Lol
  10. Before you put the sarky HTH you should remember that you were certain we joined the EU at a different time BTF. The hospital only was finished a year ago and is part of a PFI so are you saying it was given the go ahead under the Tories but took 12 years under Labour to get done?
  11. I watched with dismay the report on South Today last night about the new QE hospital in Portsmouth , they are already in massive debt and lo and behold it is a PFI and interest payments of 42m a year.Another of the past governments follies, and another way to hide the real debt this country is in.
  12. Lol
  13. was he riding a sailor
  14. A nation that allowed its citizens that were unable to pay a bean,to borrow 125% of a loan. The useless government we had oversaw it and sat on their hands. Many were shouting in the wind well before Cable about the obvious nonsense of the lending. We had a credit card chancellor and a nation of people who just carried on as if there was no tomorrow. The bankers knew it was going to end in tears but their greed of getting multi million pound bonuses every year was too much to resist. The top people have made their famillies future safe for generations whilst the rest are left to pick up the pieces. The bankers and former government should hang their heads. Many decent people are going to be out of work and bankrupt due to negligence. Yes a lot of those people were not bright enough to see the folly of the debt, but those at the top did and have pulled off a massive sting IMO
  15. thats a lot to ask for on a first date, top girl obviously
  16. A very good Lol reply, but it would be the captain not the crew, i don't talk to minors unless they are hottie stewardesses.
  17. Have you or any of us, but Im sure if asked we would be more than happy to take the job. Surely the problem with football is that the football world think you have to have played it to be involved. Jimmy Hill used to drive me crazy when he would answer with distain that ,you dont know as you never played the game when he was answering questions. You only have to watch Motd and see the so called experts having a go at refs as they hadn't played football. It is a nonsense. IMO NC is well qualified to run a football club and I'd rather him than an ex-player.
  18. did you know what side of the plane to sit on? I ask this as you had problems knowing where to stand for a kick off recently
  19. the first 3 are great , and they are classic, I forgot Monty Pythons Holy Grail
  20. why do they call it non stick when patently it is not then? get out of that one big boy
  21. That is good to read and I'm really glad you are behind NC and the club. the last thing we need is the destabilization we had of past boards etc. Manji I have never met but he is also a passionate Saints fan from the bit i have read by him on here. He was defensive of RL (I was to a degree likewise)but i put myself more in the category of being defensive of the club and when push comes to shove the club wins although under Branfoot/Askham i did lose that loyalty. Saying that, I believe he could ask for his comments to be withdrawn and were at best badly worded and if he felt it in him perhaps apologise. MO is IMo a top performer and did not deserve the flak he got. I think the bad feelings stem from the period where LM and him were doing something raising money for the club and some unfounded rumours regarding payment came up. Anyway it is good that MO is not feeling grumpy at you and we all can move on, as you say forums can be lethal
  22. I did not say he was not innocent, but a FaPPT should flag up the court appearance due
  23. that is quite a worry. Steven Hawking should be called in to answer that one
  24. Listening to NA's aftermatch interview where he mentioned Holmes i suspect he has a good chance of playing. I hope he does as i think he could be a good player for us
