    Question If it came to an end, could we really cope?

    I have just finished reading The Day of the Triffids for the umptenth time and it got me wondering. If civilisation as we know it came to an end how would those left survive and due to the technical world we have been brought up in, would that leave us even more worse off. Let me explain. That...
  2. Hands Up Who Paid for That...

    I'll admit it. I paid the full £14 to watch 76 seconds of boxing last night. I was fooled by a Jewish New Yorker who talked a good game, but failed to mark his words with any kind of action. After taking two attempts and a stripping to make the 10 stone weight limit, Dmitriy Salita informed a...

    Your starter for ten.

    Did anyone watch this last night? Mildly entertaining but it really annoyed me that the parts set in Southend were actually shot elsewhere (Jaywick - Clacton). Also, if you are going to shoot scenes set in Southend but filmed elsewhere it is probably a good idea not to feature any piers.

    Hang on a minute... (rose tinted post alert)

    Look, rule 1 in business is always try and use someone else's money rather than your own. By deferring the tax bill, especially as HMRC charge interest on unpaid tax currently at 0% (or very close to it) it becomes a very cheap loan. I genuinely believe that RM was hoping to defer and defer...

    Just suppose...

    Tilly believed Heath and White were going to stay. When they joined, Col U had a different manager. They've done well for us and have now been recalled, leaving us just one weekend prior to the window closing. Left back is the real problem position and Tilly is in talks with an out of favour...

    Question Most annoying posts?

    Posters on here appear to get wound up about a whole variety of things - particularly at the moment! My question is: what, for you, has been the most annoying/pointless post/poster of recent times? As a starter, I'd put forward the guy who got really wound up by the supposed...

    iPhone Apps you'd recommend

    As there are a few of us on here now with the things, thought it'd be worth seeing which apps people have got and would recommend to others? Here's a (highly predictable) starter, and one I use all the time: iFooty - Free Invaluable for those days when you can't make the match or your fantasy...

    Your First ****.....

    You may have been eleven, twelve, thirteen, maybe even a late starter at fourteen; but at some point all us boys spilt our load for the first time (and don’t say “nah, not me, never touch it"). Anyway, you may have been thinking about the girl next door, your mates mum or some celeb. For most of...

    Fancy Dress - Please help

    Hi all, My girlfriend and I have been invited to a fancy dress party in September, with the theme 'Pop/Rock Stars'. So, does anyone here have any inspired suggestions? Either something as a couple or for me individually. Im guessing things such as Beatles (Mop Top / Sgt Pepper era), Rod...

    Bailey replacement - Lee Frecklington?

    Right chaps - Bailey has gone, there's no point crying about it, we need to deal with it fast as on last night's showing Moussa and Grant is not a Central Midfield pairing to strike terror into most League 1 sides. I am assuming that Ron may be prepared to splash a little cash on the...

    Worst advert on TV at the moment

    Whilst BAG tries to celebrate all that is good in our ad breaks, I'm being more negative. Starter for ten: Roger Federer, Thierry Henry and Tiger Woods in that Gillette advert. Bunch of nonces.

    Would Leon Clarke be welcomed back at the Hall ?

    It was said a few weeks ago that Tilly could still be interested in Leon C . He knows the team and how we play - could combine well with Barnard maybe ? Worth another shot on loan while the wrangling over the agent's fee is settled ? Or would his sulky performance at Doncaster mean he...

    Most exciting game PRE the 'Tilly Era'

    Right, so we have had a million threads recently asking for the most...... whatever you can think of, so as it's Friday afternoon, and I have never done one of these before, I thought I would put a slightly different slant on things. I am interested to know what people consider to class as...
