    The Pub

    Not this on-line pub but "the" English pub. RIP? I guess most of you guys visit the hostelry occasionally. For how long is that going to be possible other than via faceless characterless town centre mega-pubs? There was a programme on the radio last night about locals taking over their own...

  10. What or Who is more important? Southend United or Ron Martin?

    We continue to discuss the merits of boycotting Roots Hall for the purpose of venting our feelings to the Chairman. But I'm not convinced for the follwing reasons: (1) I think he pretty much knows how the majority of fans feel. (2) I don't think he gives a toss. (3) Would any such a...

    In Ireland, a Picture of the High Cost of Austerity

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/business/global/29austerity.html Ireland has slashed its budget, abandoned infrastructure and raised taxes to pay off with the deficit - with the result not only of deeper recession but an actual increase in borrowing. We're hearing a lot about the fate of...

    Metro Article

    A very good read in the Metro this morning on Southend United written by Dave Filmer. Did anyone read this? An article that talks about Tilly and Southend going into Administration. A few days old as it talks about our taxes costing 690k as opposed to the 2.1million. All the best, Greg p.s...
  18. Legalise drugs article.

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...
