Stuart Williams who served Saints as a full-back in 165 appearances between 1962 and 1966 and as manager Ted Bates’s assistant in the early 1970s, has died aged 83.

RIP.
 
Think of me if I go missing after next Tuesday as I'm undergoing an angiogram. They showed me a film where they thought I'd feel better when told that the chance of a serious reaction to it was only 1 in a thousand. I'm sorry...they are great odds when buying a raffle ticket, but not when it's you on the table. Apparently very few people die either...that's all right then<laugh>

Best wishes for that Fran. You'll be just fine (we don't have a game that evening do we!!?)
 
Amen to that. It was one of the attractions of working for the NHS in the 1970's, a job for life as opposed to high wages etc. Trouble is, after three years without a pay rise and pension contributions rising rapidly now was the time to go. The only thing I'll miss is my workmates.

Congrats on your retirement Chilco. Enjoy!
 
My mate had hands on with loads on Xboxone games.
He said DR3 was great. But Ryse is the most boring game he has ever played. He said you can actually play it one handed as the button combos are so repetitive.
He also said Ghosts is so ****ed up (working wise) that he wouldn't play it until they sort it. He said it's so bad it even lags in the menu.
 
Wow. One of the youngest and inexperienced PL referees has been given Man United v Arsenal. Not sure that was a good idea.

Saw someone say that Ryse is as fun as dialing phone numbers.

My mate said basically the same, all you have to do is the same move over and over. He said it looks great but you can tell it was made for the kinect at first.
 


Me and my NZ wife took a short break in Amsterdam several years back. Being a Kiwi, she had heard about Amsterdam's red light district from very much afar, whereas I'd seen it before on a previous break while visiting a mate who'd worked in the city. So during our stay she asked me to walk her through there, just to see what all the fuss was about. We started walking though the area, and of course there are the women in the windows, and there are the people either walking along as potential customers or just curious observers. Right in the middle of this gaggle were about half a dozen Brits. Drunk as lords and loudly gobby with it, coming out with Carry On style innuendos without the censorship. My wife turned to me and remarked that you can't take the British anywhere, and I had to agree. Everyone else was looking at them as if to say... what is this..?

For the British male, embarrassing, is what it is.
 
The Dutch probably don't drink as much as we do because of marijuana being legal over there. Marijuana legalisation has led to low crime rates, apparently.
 
Saw someone the other day saying 'legalise drugs and tax the hell out of it'. I can see the logic but the moral question remains.

Not all drugs, definitely not.
