On holiday in normandie, france and seek nsc wisdom. We are staying in a Gite in the grounds of a big house where the landowner lives. On strolling through the grounds this morning we have discovered a coypu in a humane trap. Now apparently these things are an invasive species and do a lot of...

There's a good variation on this one where the Roman soldiers are walking waist deep in the road, and lo-and-behold, archaeologists then discover a previously unknown Roman road 3 feet below the surface. The thing is this... Your (excellent) story has several possible explanations, each one has...

Me too. It would be most embarrassing to meet all those bloody Christians I've been arguing with for years all saying "I told you so".

He scores goals like that every week :)

If you haven't seen it already, have a look at his goal vs Swindon on 'that video site'....

If they don't have "Worlds hardest creature" or "Bellcheeses at work" threads and the like, then it is entirely their loss.

I was there too, similar age. I'd managed to persuade my parents to buy me a season ticket for the South Stand, which I paid back in weekly instalments, as it was rumoured that following the huge crowds in Div 2 the previous season, that it'd be capacity every week in the 1st. It didn't quite...

"You rarely take the North Stand" - doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Our best ever away kit was the flourescent green and black stripes, in my humble opinion.

From the comments on that survey: "I love Sainsburys, It keeps the "riff-raff" out of Waitrose." Corroborates my point about Waitrose shoppers :)

Aldi and Lidl are great. In my experience, the quality is usually better than the other supermarkets. The one I hate with a passion is Waitrose. Not only is it the most expensive (by far), the quality is the poorest of all supermarkets. It seems to survive off the fact that its somehow...

Yep - Rohan Ince at Swindon for me - If I'd been at Highbury it'd have been Jimmy Case (but I wasn't).

I neither love nor hate Marmite. Its just ok.

Really sorry to hear that. I had to have my own 12 yo Border Collie put down in Feb this year. I feel for you.

Blimey - you ought to be pretty comfortable on that surely? What do you want to achieve - a private island?

Great replies so far - thanks all. Pretty much inline with my thoughts - there will be a process. Its not like the estate will be worth any more with a solicitors help - its worth what its worth at the end of the day.

In previous dealings with solicitors I have developed a deep mistrust of them. My experience of them has been that they will try to make simple things sound very complicated in order to justify their outrageous fees. They invent things that 'must be done for your own good' in order to create a...

Songs used to be ridiculously over optimistic - "we're the best team in the world" sort of stuff. Is "not going down" the pinnacle of our ambition? :)

Disagree entirely. It's ALL about our scouting network for a team in our position. We can't compete on transfer fees and wages for established players, so its finding those quality players that other clubs scouting networks have failed to find. We've been very good at this for the last couple...

The thing is, if the likes of Dunk and Knocky impress in the Prem, their value will go through the roof, so no point selling them now before they've even been in the shop window.
