Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Good grief that sounds like a tornado warning siren.

 

Hmm, second only to Radio Silence

 

For me it's mainly Taylor Swift-themed network stuff.

 

Continued my Pro Evo season this afternoon, while waiting for Win10 to install, by trouncing Spurs, with the added delight of having Toby Lovren sent off in the first minute when he cut Lloyd Isgrove in half. I sent every meaningful attack down that channel afterwards and won easily. I play on the top setting.

 

Try not to laugh.

 

Had a great Sunday evening at a watering hole in Shirley in the presence of Matt LeTiss, Big Laurie Mac, lacal comedian Mike Osman plus about 50 other Saints worshipors. What really came across for me was their love of the club and all things Saints related?
Interesting also to hear their comments on Nicola Cortese, who apparently demanded all casual staff stand when he entered the room, not look him in the eye and not talk to him. Laurie also said the way that Leon Crouch, former players and he himself was treated was creul and unnecessary, but reassuringly former staff and players have now been made very welcome under the current leadership.
Matty came across as a very grounded guy that clearly loved the club, he told many wonderful stories about teamates and opponents and said the best Saints player he played with was Ronnie Ekuland, and the toughest opponent was Stuart Pearce. He thought Glen Hoddle was a twat and loved Alan Ball with a passion.
Great to see him come back into the pub at the end of the evening to sign autographs, talk to anyone who wanted a chat and pose for selfies.
Respect

 

The `GURU MEDIATION` message
can only mean it must have the Amiga OS running it

What make/model is the radio Connor?

 

Shh you can't have a go at Cortese! (Joking)

 

Surprised that Cortese wanted people to stand, thought he might enjoy temporarily being the tallest in the room.

Just kidding, but yeah, it was ridiculous.

 

I witnessed how he treated staff.

 

I wasn't surprised when I heard about the way he treated staff as a friend of mine had the job of escorting people from the lift [or stairs] some 30 or 40 yards to the boardroom which was used on matchdays by VIP's and he said that in the 2+ years he did the job Cortese didn't acknowledge his existance once, not even a nod or a wink.
He may have been great for our club but he sounds a complete arsehole?

 

Wow, King Joffrey is a complete bastard

 

Yep, I know someone who told me, in 4 years of being security for the directors' box, he never once replied to a 'good afternoon/evening Mr Chairman'.

I've heard a few others things, but yeah, it's a shame. I liked Nicola but that does rather sour it.

 

Prosecutors in Ferguson have charged Tyrone Harris, 18, critically injured after being shot by police, with assaulting police officers.

You mean Workbench! I have the image of the floppy being inserted etched I my brain.

 

But not out of me. And I watched the race.

 

Just did an oops...

Ran CCleaner as I normally do, once a week, but for the first time on Win10. All went extremely well except that when I looked in the Advanced column the box denoting Old Windows Installation was ticked. That was my old Win7. Hence oops. There's no going back now.!

 

Test post.

I was going to post about my rare purchase of a packet of biscuits, but I thought the excitement might be too much for some of you.
