  1. In true Worzal Gummidge style, Fonte screws on Alex's sensible head, whilst they use his impetous one, which he has been wearing for the last week, for penalty practice. Lallana waits patiently in the back ground for Fonte to change his concentrating head to one expressing a gentle 'been there' demeanour.
  2. Just to give you all an update: I appealed. I won. I have invoiced them for £ 130.00 for preparation of letter, provision of proof, postal costs, photographs, witness statments and preparation of invoice. If they pay within 14 days, i am willing to give them a 50 % discount.
  3. They play up for the cameras. I posted on here a couple of years ago when they came blasting into my Roadworks on the M1 Junction 10 sliproad, acting like a bunch of tossers knocking cones everywhere chasing after some woman whose only crime was getting confused on the roadabout with the roadworks on and cutting across a lane of traffic to get onto the hard shoulder. They didn't broadcast me and my foreman shouting at them, and arguing about their behaviour and pointing out their Chief Inspector in our compound with our Contracts manager and senior bodies from the Highways Agency. Once the camera man got back into the car, they couldn't apologies enough.
  4. Thanks. I like where we have gone.
  5. Arn't they a Press Agency?
  6. Quick anacdote before gushing my pleasure. Watching the youtube clip on my big monitor, (actually a 50 inch plasma) at work and boss asks what I'm watching. 'Why Frank, i'm watching this feller we have just signed.' and points to the screen. He sits down, watches for a few minutes and says, 'I don't know about him. Looks a bit pedestrian. You want to be looking to sign that number 11 with the short hair.' 'That is him Frank.' and the final word from my 55 year old Half English, Half Italian ex semi professional footy player of a Framework Manager. 'Sweet.' I am very please with this signing and hope he comes up to our expectations. I can almost hear the conversation now: NA ' I would like to replace Puncheon, Mr C.' NC 'Who do you want?' NA 'Well, Puncheon really, but without the mercenary attitude and big head' NC 'Anyone in the Prem or Championship that fits that bill?' NA 'Not really' NC (reaching over to his phone) 'Right. I'll get the boys on it right away. Hello, it's the Big Corteze here. release the flying monkeys, send them all over europe with one mission - Find me a Jason Puncheon, or better, who likes buses. Start with doing that search thing on Football Manager 2011, and have a look on Youtube. But I want VALUE FOR MONEY.' NA 'Thanks for that, boss.' NC 'No problem. By the way, when you see that Chamberlain, tell him no pocket money this week and he's to go to bed early with no tea.' This is the era of not signing people for the sake of it, not selling people because we have to, sending out a message to bigger clubs that they aint so big and we aint gonna be pushed around no more, not paying big bucks for moderate players, telling agents where to go, not being held to ranson, sending a message that 'No One is bigger than the club', creating and keeping together a team, and only improving it, not creating a new one. And all this done with a big friendly smile that hides an iron will.
  7. Does anyone have a link? I do prefer to look at the Churnalism myself if possible before commenting. I just think that the timing is a little strange for all this, but he does deserve the fine for blabbing to the press in my own opinion, and the one he'll get for telling the Echo he's been fined. If he wishes to leave, fine, put in a transfer request and see what happens, but last we heard NON of the top teams supposedly touting for him have actually made a bid. So why winge about not being allowed to go if no one wants him, (at the current price)? Seems a bit of talking and advice by others methinks. Poor advice at that.
  8. Jaidi finishes his swiss model village as he has nothing better to do.
  9. I have just appealed against CP Plus for being parked in Cherwell Services for 9 hours when I visited there on my way to Birmingham and on my way home. In between I gave a presentation and won an Environmental Award and could have 250 eye witness statements to prove I wasn't parked there. I have appealed and am awaiting their answer, (only sent it on Monday). I beleive they are cowboy ****s trying to rip us off.
  10. I did once when sitting in bed and once when I was driving in some shorts. Painful.
  11. As my name above suggests i am a ...........................................................................Project Manager, (old Nickname from S4E), but I used to do secret stuff.
  12. Well, if you wanted to get back at us, sign for our biggest rivals and play the game of your life to whack in as many as possible.
  13. I had an argument with a Yank once on a joint exercice outside Dortmund who said that it comes from the nickname for the 101st Airborne going back to the second world war, (and where the name of the book comes from, apparently). I did point out that it actually comes from Shaekespears Henry V, act 4 Scene 3 and pre-dates the formation of the 101st by 500 years. He called me a Limey faggot, in the officers mess, in front of everyone. I asked my Colonel for permission to scratch his eyes out, but he would only give me permission to insult his uniform and haircut. Sandhurst 1 Westpoint 0
  14. On his move to Southampton, Jack Cork made the following comment: ' I came here because of Southampton's lack of Ambition. This is a club that has no money and the manager cannot attract players to the team. I also came here because the owners, the Family of Mr Leibherr, are selling the club and I understand that the chairman refuses to sign anyone or spend any money and I am scared of him and don't like the look of him at all. I also came here because, as I had another year on my contract with a premier league outfit, no one else wanted me so I had nothing better to do than drop a division as, lets be honest, i'm not very good and anyone could get into the U21 team.'
  15. No, I was given this on Tuesday afternoon in a quick snippit and more yesterday as I was in the Hillhead area doing a site survey, but I couldn't log on until now to pass the information. My source is one of very few snippets but he hasn't been wrong as yet, just a littkle slow off the mark sometimes as he panicks that he may get into trouble.
  16. Apparently Jason Puncheon, according to my HP, want to move to Pumpy. Just to kick us in the nuts a bit more no doubt. Or it's his agent stiurring the brown stuff as well, (to force us to keep him, as no one else wants him, as iif NC and NA are that petty.) Wouldn't wish Puncheon on my worst enemy, but the cheating blue few down the road? Willingly. Thoughts here please.
  17. In for a penny and all that.
  18. Can't comment on most of the above but works to the A27. Sorry, Rubbish, they arn't down to do anything to the A27. I know, because I am, (after a land issue is resolved)>
  19. I would like to point out that NickG quote may not prove his point, but it proves mine. Promotion next season, build this season. That's enougfh ambition for me.
  20. Do you want to know where I stand? I'll tell you. In my mind the target date for the best of the best signings isn't this month or next. It isn't either January. It's January 2013. Lets aim for the best we can this season and look to build for promotion next season, which gives us time to build a TEAM, not 11 individuals. Calm down and for christ sake, be patient. We have only just been promoted and our target for Premiership football still has a couple of years to run. The team we have now took two years to build, we aint going to build another one in two months.
  21. Pippa Middletons a r s e reminds me of a story by J.K. Rowling. Sooner or later you just know Harrys going to be in it.
  22. Oscar has left to join Huddersfield on a two year deal. Not a bad thing, but what about someone coming in? Would be nice. Perhaps this is what the press conference is all about.
  23. Sorry but I too think you have been ripped off. When I work away I live in what is called a bunker bin, which is a containerised bedroom/bathroom/living room, so I have to set up a new aerial every 3 to 6 months. The costs for an individual set up, from Screwfix is: Labgear TV Aerial High-Gain Digital £19.99 SLx Digital Signal Finder £13.99 Labgear Coaxial Cable Kit 25m £11.57 Co-Axial Cable Clip 7.0mm Black Pack of 100 £ 1.86 Labgear Metal Coax Plugs Pack of 10 £ 2.85 Labgear TV Aerial Loft Fixing Kit £ 3.95 Labgear Screened Flush Coaxial Socket £ 3.52 each Philex Signal booster £ 6.99 Or, to be fair you can get 4 Room Digital TV Distribution Kit with Infra Red Link for £41.99 (Product Code: 26992). This includes 4 way aerial amplifier, 3 x SLx link remote extenders, 25m digital coaxial cable, 4 x 1m coaxial leads, 3 x surface coaxial sockets, 3 x coax plugs, 25 x cable clips. So as said above you could do the whole lot for less than £ 100.00. The problem with you signal could be that the signal cone you aerial is picking up is only a shadow, or is not the strongest signal. It could be interference from another banded signal, or you arte still in the middle of a switchover.. Without seeing it it's hard to say, but the digital signal finder could help here. Also if you put in Freeview(it's here http://www.freeview.co.uk/availability/main) or Digital TV (it's here http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/) into google you can go to the coverage checker and find out where your transmitter is by putting in your postcode, (for me it's Rowridge on the Isle Of Wight) but there are booster stations on the transmitter group, (you can get a map that shows them for the South here http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/transmitternetwork/tools__and__resources/switchover_maps/maps/Ofcom_Meridian_May11v2.3.jpg) And if you don't want to shell out 14 quid for the signal finder, just use the map, find your house and point your aerial in the direction to the transmitter. You'll also find info on installers, the different types of aerial, when the switch over is and what channels you should be getting. Up in Rochester me and two foreman helped an old girl who was going to be ripped of £ 350 for a digital aerial and it took us 4 hours to put up a new aerial, fit 3 outlets and find the best signal, so it isn't a problem if an old Civil Engineer, a Groundworks foreman and a Chippie foreman can nock one together, i'm sure you can. Hope this all helps.
  24. I did Linda Reynolds, the blond one of the Reynolds Girls, three years ago when I was on a site visit for a couple of weeks to the Akritiri air base in Cyprus. She's the blond one and the years haven't been kind. As the forman who was sharing a room with me explained in the morning, all he could see was two fat people having sex and he didnt know where I finished and she started, but it put him off jelly for life. Dirty scouse *****.
