    Laptop question

    Help please. I gather there are some IT types on here and any help / assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of buying my wife a Laptop to replace her old PC. I know very very little about computers and, as I've recently changed jobs, I don't know the guys in our helpdesk...

    Thoughts from the East Stand.

    Right - Not going to talk about the game as there are a million threads on that however there are some other points I would like too touch on. Had a few drinks in the spread before the game as I have come to enjoy. Served by the ever friendly McNasty. Its fast becoming a Shrimperzone haven in...
  3. Downloading Clips from BW

    A quick technical query about Blues World - I am trying to watch the GWR highlights, and despite having an excellent broadband connection, it is like watching a slow slide show. I would like to download the clip, as you are supposed (and advised) to do for Blues World, but I cannot find any way...
  4. The Bank letter :)

    Following on from Sam's letter to the bank .....:p Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing the cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, some three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check, and the arrival in my account...

    Stupid Women

    I once told a secretary that the kebab that you see going round and round at 3am was actually an "Elephant's leg" which she 100% believed. She said "That is just so cruel and wrong....I think I'll have a burger next time instead." We kept it going for a while before one of the other secretaries...

Not massive but enough to start the poor fella down the road of the worst words none to dogkind...

    Stadium Plans sent to Ruth Kelly

    Have just spoken to someone at Southend BC Planning Department who advised that the plans were sent to Ruth Kelly last Friday. I think the 21 days she has to decide whether she wants to call-in the application start from the day she receives the plans, so by my reckoning that would take us up to...

    Leicester Away -

    Obviously only available to season tickets holders still. Called up and booked four for the game ( To stop my Dad moaning mainly) and the helpful lady on the phone advised we have sold just over 200 so far. She said sales really depend on how we do at QPR. DtS

    Tube Problems for QPR`

    Pinched this from "the shrimper list". TFL have just kindly advised me about services over this weekend on the Hammersmith and City Line: "No service between Hammersmith and Edgware Road due to track replacement and White City redevelopment work." There is a replacement bus...
  12. Palace Ticket Update

    I spoke to the ticket office last night who advised that 600 tickets will go on sale for Southend fans at the ground. The club sent the tickets back yesterday by Special Delivery. We therefore must have sold 2,300 tickets! Not bad for a Tuesday match.
  13. Season Ticket update!

    I brought a season ticket on Saturday and was told that the East stand (apart from Black seat "Paddock area" and restricted view) has now sold out. At present there also no more RBS familty tickets being sold (having sold out blocks Q & R in the West Stand and half of the South...

    Tomorrow's is game LIVE on ITV 4.....

    According to my Father (an avid Shrimpers fan of 54 years, no less) the game is live on ITV 4 tomorrow. Obviously,I laughed in his face when he told me this. But he says, at the end of the 'Boro game last night they advised that it was being shown as a "special game" as the...
  15. Swansea away.......

    Looking at the football league grounds web site, it states that there is only residential parking around the ground and that supporters are advised to take park & ride. What's everyone doing? Any ideas? Grim.

    Worst Thing To Happen In Bed

    Right, it's officially Friday afternoon and that means storytime. What's the worst thing that has ever happened to you whilst in bed with a lady? Or in bed with a chap if you are a lady. Or any combo, really, it's all cool. It could be a horrific injury, an ill-advised comment, an...
  17. I'm pretty gutted.....

    ....the JCR deal hasn't gone through, I really did think his agent would've advised him to bite the bullet and sign the contract today. Seems he is now out of football til the end of the season, a real shame for him and us. Usually (not that this is by any means a "usual&quot...
