The Hornet's Nest

putting mobile phones in liquid probably wont do them much good

 

Which reminds me, heard a true story yesterday concerning a friend....
He was at a festival, camping. Woke in the middle of the night realising he had a touch of something probably related to the consumption of festival food. He knew he wouldn't make it to the bogs, so scrabbling round in the tent he found a plastic storage box, which he hurriedly emptied, and proceeded to use for the rest of the night, both ends burning, so to speak. In the cold grey light of an unpleasant dawn he thought he should phone his son to come and rescue him... now, you know where the phone was, don't you?
When he told his service provider they politely declined to take it back in return for a new one.

Hope I haven't put you off your tea, folks.

 

Thanks for that Gordon

 

Thought I'd share it

 

Not sure they'd survive a pie or a crumble either

 

If I can break into this happy conversation - made me laugh though. Sitting here listening to Clannad being very emotional and giggling away at the thought of needing to use that mobile

But serious folks. Been working and haven't sorted me reading ticket - that's the place not the library - and just wondered if anyone knew if you can turn up and get a ticket to join the see of yellow. Any thoughts please 'cause this is my best fixture of the year - I live down the road and get to travel in with reading fans on the train. Always good banter. There not a bad bunch really

 

All I can suggest KC is to ring both clubs

 

Tx Norway. Yeah I'll give Reading a buzz tomorrow. Just always have the fear of collecting a ticket and discovering I'm a yellow blip in a sea of blue - thinking about it I guess the sea should be blue I had to suffer that at Newcastle two years ago. Although I had a great seat and the 'orns where way up in the sky in the corner I still wanted to be with them.

The vic, no matter how many sides it has, is great and home but to be with the traveling faithful I think is more special. To go away is an investment in time and money. And I guess it is a bit like the Alamo but you get to go home afterwards

But for you Norway all games are away I guess

 

Indeed KC and I miss it years ago was a season ticket holder and had done all 92 league grounds at that time ! now am I try at least one game a season! that said I will be at the saints game

 

Ahh so will I. looking forward to that one. Hopefully we will have shrugged off early season blues by then.

Hope you're enjoying a glass of something. Here I'm knocking back a bottle of Cava. Enjoy amigo.

 

I have a bottle of lindemans on the go

 

Will be in Southampton for 5 days if you fancy a beer somewhere in southern UK!

 

Norway would be good to meet you for a pint or even two. seems odd never to have met, as far as I know, anyone from here. I'm between Basingstoke and Newbury but can get to most places in central southern England.

How about a pre-match and perhaps we could get a few together? Spent a few evenings and saturdays with you over the recent years. It would be good to share a pint. Perhaps we should try to get it together here after the reading game.

 

Norway - I might be staying in Bournemouth after the game at Soton, so If I am, we can have a few after the match?

 

This has to be perhaps the worst penalty kick i have ever seen!!!

KC and W-y will be up for all although will be with Hornette and the crew from the group for saturday afternoon /evening!
I will be in prem inn southampton city centre from 29-2nd flying in late on 28 sept leaving on oct 3! be good to meet as many as possible in that time!
the hotel is close to a train station ! so that might help some logistics!

 

Oh dear, another database error.

 

good to be back now!

 

i've sent it! Ooer..fingers crossed!
