    Morning all! thanks for the caramel latte Ak :). It's a walk day today, so hopefully it won't rain, otherwise it won't be a walk day, my walking partner doesn't do 'getting wet' lol.

    Sean Dyche will be on TalkSport between 12 and 1pm if anyone is near a radio :)

    Nooooooooo, I agreed to do some painting and ended up spending 6 consecutive days painting 3 rooms last week. Always put off today what you can do when the football seasons over. <laugh>

    Now thats a surprise. the Upset At Being Jilted clan are out in force (you know the ones who wouldnt dream of moving on if their employer was in the state WFC are these days, nor try to get known and trusted staff to go with 'em)....course not.Best of all. although Mackay did much sterling work for a long time as player and in management,usually in pretty difficult circumstances . HE should show gratitude to the CLUB !!Well thought out Daniel.

    Theres always hope tho as long as we have those with not so closed minds,cos there obviously shouldnt be foreigners like those Welsh invading our football leagues,nearly as bad as those 6 headed monsters rumoured to lurk in Bedfordshire, Its enough to make you go around patting Little Women on the head!
    (Moderators swearing and suggesting injuring Birmingham players ??BBC wouldnt have had it

    She has no idea that men need STUFF in the garage, spare bits of wood, packing boxes (just in case) at least 2 tool boxes, 1 normal 6 step, step ladder, 1 x 3 step step ladder (she is short arse), extendable ladder for doing the gutters etc (not that I like doing it) jars of screws, stuff in packing boxes that have not seen the light of day since they were packed (but your not going to get rid of, just in case) This bloke Justin has a lot to answer for<laugh> his and her golf clubs (not that she has played for years) Booze that really shoud be going to a party that you don't want to see back, but you won't waste;)

    Anything I have missed, oh yeah a Chimnea that needs to be fixed, a garden table and 2 bicycles!!!! I need to get some more cycle hangers, mine is ok off the ground but her lady jalopy is a heavy beast;) (Oo Er Mrs)

    Morning all, Damp, grey and mild here again. We have crocuses and daffodils in flower ahead of the snowdrops this year and the roses are in bud. All very strange.

    Been doing a spot of reading and see that according to one informed source we want £7.5 m for Marriappa. (I assume that the Star is an informed source).

    Looks as if the troubles at Pompey deepen. The winding up application is due to be heard in less than a month and they have no way at present to pay off the £1.8m overdue. The last preferred owner turned out to be a clown wanting to build under-sea hotels and casinos, but he was potless. The local newspaper has called a meeting for tomorrow to see if local business, council and fans can get together to save the club. Seeing as it is believed that £30m would be required to buy it, and what would you get, it looks bad. The only remaining option without a temporary loan from somewhere seems to be to sell some players. They have some who are believed to be earning £15,000 pw +, but it seems that no other club is prepared to take them on. The whole situation is moving very quickly at present and something could change, but at this moment it appears that they are going through a painful death.

    My garage problems are all caused by Mrs W_Y - she collects and brings home all sorts of rubbish and dumps it straight in the garage as it might be useful (at work, in her current hobby, her next hobby, for #1 son, etc etc.) It means clandestine visits to the "Recycling Centre" (the scummer who works there gets the right hump when I call it The Tip) when she is out to clear it all out. Sometimes she struggles to get her car in - mine has had to be left out for years...:emoticon-0101-sadsm:emoticon-0120-doh:

    I used to have a soft top, which just had to be stored in doors otherwise when it rained the passenger seat got ever so lighlty wet<laugh> I loved the car and so did ever other girlfriend except my current wife<yikes> When we first met she hated it, I kept it for about a year before I had to get rid a very sad day:( Even when I did not have a garage I had to keep a cover over it, otherwise there was a puddle<laugh>

    Some very very happy days and nights in the old rag top<laugh>

    I bought my first ever car from the garage on the corner of Occupation Road. It was a sit up and beg Ford Popular with a forecourt price of £75. I managed to get it for the princely sum of £70. The windscreen wiper was one of the old vacuum ones that would slow whenever you went up hills. After a period the floor on the passenger side developed a bit of a hole, so whenever I was out with Mme. on wet days, I would look ahead for puddles so that she could lift her feet up out of the impending shower that would come up. Eventually after we were married the car was traded in for £100, a good bit of business as far as I was concerned. ;)

    I see that Sarries planning application goes before the committee on February 2nd. The officers recommend to the council that it should be approved, but who knows if they will get the go ahead? I do hope that we are really caning them for playing at the Vic after some of the things said before.

    Funny thing is that if Portsmouth go out of business the Hornets are a loser, because Bristol City haven't taken points from Pompey we will drop below them courtesy of our 2-0 home win. We would move closer to the bottom three as Portsmouth beat all of them.

    The bigest winner, ironically, will be Southampton as they lose a point for their draw against West Ham's six for beating them twice. The Saints would return to the top of the table, which will remain much as it is now, except Burnley would go up several places.

    I'm with you on this, OldNick. I don't do animosity...especially over ancient stuff...a waste of energy better spent elsewhere...

    Why didn't you just fix the stilletto heel hole then tell her to take them off next time? ;)

    Garages...where else do the box of old videos, the broken chairs, the iron bed head, the Singer sewing machine, the spare wheelie bin, the leaking galvanised buckets, Mrs H's grandmother's wardrobe and the assorted wine bottle boxes go?
