It's not just all of a sudden although the last time I followed the England team abroad was to Frankfurt in the world cup (absolutely fantastic few days). I just can't be doing with all those pre madona, over paid players. I'm still as interested in the national game as the players seem to...
I'm working on a side step and reverse body swerve so that I can jump the toilet queue at half time, buy a pint and still get back to my seat before the game starts again.
I blame it on the water companies. When water wasn't safe to drink water everybody drank as much beer as they wanted and it was the only way to stay reasonably healthy
Aren't we all losing sight of reality here? What other club has sold ALL the available ST allocation? Just because there may be some extra tickets available for non ST holders doesn't mean there won't be the demand on a game to game basis.
That's easy to say with hindsight but imagine if punters were just limited to tickets for two events and there wasn't the level of interest - it would have been decried as a flop. As someone said earlier, the demand for tickets was not expected. I agree that there are too many tickets for...
At least you know where you stand with a straight ballot. That's NOT what happened with the olympic tickets. They were sold to the highest bidder. Those that gambled the most or could afford to gamble the most stood a far greater chance of getting tickets. It would have been far simpler if...
Man city or Man Utd. To finish top I couldn't give a monkey's but Bolton deserve to go down to show that another cheating, debt ridden club must operate within their means. Mind you, a trip to QPR next season would be nice.
If the accoustics in the east stand are the same as the West stand, the ESU will need to be loud and proud and not depend on the lower section. You won't hear them even if they are singing.
Is this actually new legislation or just LOUD publicity for a new piece of equipment? There is already a power of arrest if a police officer suspects that your driving is impaired through drink or drugs without having to subject you to a test of any kind.
Random breath testing is good...
If you are looking for classical songs other than opera you have to look first at Lieder of Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven.
For an English Opera suggestion try Dido and Aeneas by Purcell. Dido's lament is up there with anything that followed.
That's what winds me up about local elections - they shouldn't be based on party politics. You should be able to vote for the person who will serve your local community best regardless of what political party they shoe horn thems into.
I stayed to the bitter end and applauded our players off the pitch at West Ham (god knows why) and I boo'd the ref off at half time at the Watford game What's wrong with that!!!!!
I'm not normally one for football facts but while sitting in a garage waiting area today I flicked through a book and saw a story about BHA. Evidently on Christmas day 1940 Brighton played Norwich. They travelled with only 5 players and made up the numbers with Norwich reserves and spectators...
I was born and raised in Swanage so I am a little biased. If you want walks to consider;
1. Swanage to Studland over ballad down and stopping at the Bankes Arms.
2. Studland heath over the NT land.
3. Swanage to Corfe along 9 Barrow down and eat in the square.
4. Swanage to Durleston / St...
