    Crazy crazy from councils ! I know a guy who did rubbish clearance by the book,he was forced to obtain a waste license costing £150 plus,then councils ordered every council tip to stop the legal abiding clearers from using the tip.He then began to use waste stations whose fees are mentally...

    Love to hate so quickly

    Sadly I must admit to on occasion watching Tipping Point on ITV. Yesterday one of the four contestants was a lad who said he came from Essex, and he fought his way through to the final past a snake charmer from Warrington, a belly dancer from Newcastle and an arts and craft enthusiast from...

    How much coffee?

    Been having a discussion at work, after my colleagues expressed their shock, and, no doubt, considerable awe at the amount of coffee I drink in a week. I think that the other week I worked my way through a 200g jar of Tesco instant (strength 3). By way of explanation, I only drink black...

    Tipping and "Christmas Boxes" - do you, and if so, who to?

    Just following on from the discussions on the free travel thread, I thought I would open it up more for discussion. Back in the day it used to be common place to give your postman, your milkman, your window cleaner and your dustman a Christmas "box" or a "good drink", in a similar way in which...

    What are you going to do if you don't watch the Blues?

    There have been a lot of posts on here lately where posters have said 'enough is enough, I'm not watching this lot for the moment/ever again' (delete as appropriate). I often have moments when I think along those lines, but I'm still going. Of late I have been on decorating/tiling duty in the...

  8. Steve Claridge Kicks Off (about us at last!)

    After tipping us to struggle at the start of the season, I was adamant I was going to get Steve to look again at how we are doing this season and finally he got round to answering my question... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/steveclaridge/2011/03/claridge_kicks_off_16.html 7m 08 secs in. And the...

    Captains Blog

    EAST ON.... I felt we deserved something out of the Northampton game. We went 1-0 up and then you want to see it out to get the three points but the goals we lost we weren’t happy with. * We probably deserved more but we have got to be more ruthless and more professional in the way we finish...

    Plodding Snore-fest Is No Reason For Complacency

    Algeria 0-1 Slovenia ENGLAND SHOULDN’T TAKE THESE TWO TEAMS FOR GRANTED An awful game, bereft of class and style, but if England fans think that they can relax, they should think again. There was just enough in this strangely compelling display of mutual ineptitude to concern Fabio...

    Working For a ***** Company

    As some of you will know, I work for a Rescue & Recovery Company which is not your average 9-5 sort of job. Most though not all who do this job expect long hours, all weather conditions and sometimes, the very real risk of serious injury or even death. It's the nature of the job (considered in...

  14. Shrimperzone horseracing tipping competition?

    Anyone fancy a Shrimperzone horseracing tipping competition from Sunday 18th Jan to Thursday 22nd Jan inclusive. You get a virtual £2.00 stake each day so you can either tip £2.00 to win or £1.00 e/w but only on one selection per day. All tips to be posted to me by 12.00 lunchtime each day...

    Euro 2008

    If you're a betting man you'll know that, during an international tournament, there are a few simple rules that will help protect your investment. Firstly, never back England, a nation of drunks who always choke under pressure. Secondly, always expect the home nation to outperform expectations...

    Do all girls have lesbian tendencies?

    Last night, circumstances conspired such that I had the considerable pleasure of discussing the particularly interesting 'issue' of lesbianity with three lovely ladies. With one of said ladies being now exclusively lesbian herself, the debate was well balanced, two of us promoting the tipping...

    The Cheltenham thread......

    Ah the perfect opportunity to lose all your well-earned. I'll kick off the proceedings by tipping the Irish trained Sublimity to win today's feature race, the Champion Hurdle. This is more by process of elimination than anything, but I just can't contemplate the favourite Detroit City winning...

    Tipping?

    Had a debate with the lads last night and I would value some intelligent feedback. My mate went to a buffett style place at lunch with a few work mates. Bit of a non-story really but then he said he tipped the bloke £3. I asked what for as its a buffett place it is self service anyway. He said...
