    This is really weird...you post a comment and it is posted. No waiting for ever, posting three times or lost for ever in the ether...spooky!

    Ah, I did think it was you that had mentioned this. Of course, I'd be interested in trying to get in touch with him, he will still likely prove useful to at least exchange conversation with. Seems sensible to me that we wait until the end of the F1 season though. Music journos would be less help, but Paul sounds of interest.

    Thanks LTL.

    Same. If "having a life" means "refreshing not606".

    Maybe. We're still getting that thing where you can't view the last page though.

    I got loads of coursework done last night. :(

    All very amusing, but when you think those girls probably earn about a 1000th of what he earns it's a bit of a cruel joke really. Sorry for not rolling around on the floor DTLW.

    Okay, so I just got offered a job as a journalist for the sports desk of London's fastest-growing financial website. I might be a little bit happy.

    Ha, thanks LTL. I'd still very much like to get in touch with Paul. The job offer was a bit of a fluke and totally unexpected.

    It's all performance-related pay, but it's something and it's certainly a step up from what I've done previously. I got tipped off to contact this company by someone I used to edit content and write for and it went from there. Unfortunately for you guys, performance-related pay means I will put links to articles in here. I won't let it get to absurd circumstances. First of all, this is somewhere I enjoy reading about Saints and chatting to Saints fans.

    Whoops..! That's gone and done it. The secret is no longer safe among Saints and Brazil fans, Now every football fan in the UK could know that the true spirit of Brazilian football probably started in Southampton. Bannister Court School and St Mary's FC, to be exact. The latter, later to be named Southampton FC.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24537173

    Apologies if posted earlier. I've just spent the last hour trying to pin down where Banister Court School was. I know where Banister Court Stadium was, but that was Southampton Speedway. Couldn't find a map with the old Victorian school on it. The Infants School built in the 1950's may be close to the original location. And not more than a few hundred yards from the old Dell. How history can unfold..!

    Isn't it amazing that the countries who seem to put forward these pro-life policies are also among the ones who seem to have the least empathy and compassion toward the living.

    Such countries are not really pro-life....they are anti-women. The old view of the Roman Catholic church was that women were responsible for all sin...luring men into terrible acts. These views are still held in the ultra-conservative South America. Women are too often victims in these situations. All people (male and female) tend to do better in countries where women are treated well.

    The ego on this guy. "I've pulled something, so you're all going to be fired". What a prick.

    Prostitute. Lots of time in the open air and the possibility of working at home.

    NB: The home may or may not be yours
