alpine_saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 (edited) Emigrating is a tough thing to do. I fully expected my first bout of homesickness around the 6-month mark, brought on by one of the following : Missing salt & vinegar crisps, custard, decent bacon sarnies, etc. Missing the sea Missing seeing Saints play. Well, I've managed to find the various food items, found a decent stretch of Adriatic to walk along, and thanks to Rupey and Mikeys sterling efforts to wreck SFC, I am happy to say 8 months on I am still homesickness-free.. Thanks guys ! :smt023 Edited 15 November, 2008 by alpine_saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 15 November, 2008 Lowe recently said "if I can make just one person happy I've succeeded".......................... About time he succeeded at something. Wonder how he will feel if the attendance drops to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made me happy by getting Alpine to f*** off to Austria, where he can't pollute the air I breath here in God's country.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 About time he succeeded at something. Wonder how he will feel if the attendance drops to 1. LOL - simple maths makes me think that if you're the only one satisfied it will be an attendance figure of 0 which is about what he deserves. (This is not a dig - I doubt Ryanair do Southampton - Austria for £5 return.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 15 November, 2008 Author Share Posted 15 November, 2008 Well one of the Nick boys will be happy. hehehehe. In fairness, I reckon the cracks are showing in nickh's position after the Bristol game. He seemed seriously piisssed earlier this week. So it will be NickG..

Probably to fund the sponsorship deal, because it cant be bringing any money back in to Flybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys ! :smt023 Missing the noise of the sea, the cricket and the pub will get you eventually. You will then think of returning to the homeland, you will spend a wallet shattering,mind blowing,cultureless fortnight at 'home' and be cured of all illusions as to an eventual return for ever. However you will still support the Saints and scheme and save to see at least a few games a season; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You emigrated because you couldn't hack it here and your wife wanted to be closer to her mother. Now shut up and do the dishes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guided Missile Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 Cant all be "real men" like you, can we ? IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Ash Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 I wish I had paid a fiver so I couldn't become fully immersed in this deeply enthralling conversation. A bunch of moaning *****es, why you keep having the same conversation with each other is anybody's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit2 Posted 15 November, 2008 Share Posted 15 November, 2008 I would love to put you lot in a ring for 10 minutes! Then you could battle it properly without sitting behind your computer screens. For whats it worth, most people would like to get out of this country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
