Morgan's Manor - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

In the far-off past when I started as a junior lab tech at Winchester Hospital, we had a chap called Ernie working there. Every day, whoever made the tea in the afternoon would have to go and shout "Tea Ern!" to all in the lab, to resounding guffaws and cries of "That's a good one!". The ritual lasted the whole 2 years I spent there.

Bryson (the travel writer) said that the British laugh more than other nationality (even when things aren't funny). For example, how often have we smiled when someone says lovely day when it is pissing down.

Alfredo Di Stéfano has died, aged 88.

Didn't get to see the end of the World Cup.

Alfredo Di Stéfano has died, aged 88.

Doesn't seem right that one of the best footballers of all time didn't play in a World Cup...

Hi Guys,

Just signed up for twitter. I was wondering how you can tell the real twitter accounts from the Wannabe attention seekers? I guess those with 12 followers are unlikely to be real, but is there a directory for the Saints players or whatever?

Most of them have a little blue tick, but you might as well go through the people the Southampton twitter follows and they'll all be on there, filtering through some other ones: https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/following

Haha, according to the Americans, Fable is "predestined for a Grammy" - which is nice - https://www.facebook.com/360Magazine?fref=ts

She has to thank us in her acceptance speech. Remember that.

By name. None of that "you know who you are" crap.

I committed to going out tonight and I'm now wondering why. Oh well. Too late now.

If we win a Grammy, I promise to you now, I'll get her to say "thanks to Joe and Dan"

I'm holding you to that. Also the signed album, I've not forgotten about that.

Grammar lessons with Godders.

Damn and I am so pedantic on things like that. My excuse is that I was bashing away furiously thinking of Kylie .... on the keyboard obviously!

I'm the opposite; I have a strong aversion to paying professionals to make/build/fix something for me. Maybe it's the Jew in me. I'll always have a whack at it first.

Good for you.
