    It would be so annoying if everytime you walked down the hall of your house you actually had to go through/around a turnstile.

    The dugout is kinda cool. Put a big screen on the opposite wall, hook your monitor up to it and then put on your nice suit and go down there and play Football Manager. Realism!:emoticon-0102-bigsm Make sure you shake hands with the doorknob before and after the game.

    Think it's cool. That turnstile is a real antique. To seem real though, he would need to spray the smell of urine around.

    I think that's quite sweet. Nice to see that someone cherished it. I have occasionally wondered where all the big memorabilia went from The Dell. Like a lot of others, I had some of the pitch. It's still in the garden, though it is thoroughly integrated now. I suspect I'd have to searched under the turf to see where my soil gives way to the much sandier consistency of the football pitch.

    Exactly my thoughts! Hilarious! I thought it was near Israel somewhere.

    We have an Egypt Point on the IOW (named after a gypsy camp).

    What brought that admission on..?

    As it happens, when sailing over to the island, one is occasionally off Egypt Point. It's the northern most point of the island, IIRC. What you don't want though is nearby Gurnard Ledge, especially at low tide.

    What? If that was me, I'd have the area fenced off (no matter how small) with a little plaque and a sign saying, "please keep of the hallowed turf" :(

    Dig it up, i'll collect it and look after it properly for you :D

    There is a place called California near Reading and a Philadelphia near Bristol.

    Palestine is actually near Grately and The Wallops.

    Come on you should know these things.

    He is the only Saints fan and is surrounded by Pompey supporters who were moved there after the administration. He takes refuge in his basement dug out.

    What he needs now to complete 'The Dell experience' is to have a walled ceilingless open to the elements room with no door for visitors to piss in.
