    RIP Keith Floyd

    One of my favourite drunks has died. What a shame. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8256260.stm Before I changed it to Larry Bird, my avatar showed the man himself in typical drinking pose. Stuff yer Jamie Oliver, Floyd was a proper TV chef. I hope they serve red wine in heaven or else...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend-Orient: a sensible dicussion

    Right, let's have a proper chinwag about Friday. A couple of disappointing (but all too predictable) starts to the season for our two teams. Defensive frailty and a lack of natural width seem to pervade both sides, and each of us will be looking for Friday to kickstart our seasons. From an...
  3. The Mark of a ChampiYong

    Ok, Ok, I know this is late... But I was on my travels while this happened. While your reading this, there's no doubt in my mind that Tiger Woods is on a golf course somewhere, meticulously tinkering away with his swing and clubs, trying to identify just what went wrong at Hazeltine. After...
  4. To my Dear Wife

    TO MY DEAR WIFE: During the past year I have tried to make love to you 365 times. I have succeeded 36 times, which is an average of once every ten days. The following is a list of why I did not succeed more often: 54 times the sheets were clean 17 times it was too late 49 times you were...
  5. Hangover cures

    Your suggestions for hangover cures? Heir of the dog Paracetemol Sleep All suggestions are welcome because when you down three pints through a funnel being poured from the balcony and you are down below you tend to be a bit fragile the next day particularly when you are drinking turbo's or...

    Sven Will It Go Wrong?

    In 2001, in the wake of the dotcom crash, I lost my job. For 18 months, I had been the deputy shift leader of a surly band of financial journalists, charged with staying up all night and reviewing the first editions of the newspapers for a raft of corporate clients. It wasn't much, but it was a...
  7. The I Phone and Technology

    I like to think of myself as a young pup at 23. Even since the 90s there has been a massive development in technology from the Sega Saturn and Mega Drive to X Box and Playstation and Wii. Brick like mobile phones with children lucky to have one and perhaps parents well off to almost all...

    My new favourite beer

    http://stoneandwood.com.au/blog/draught-ale/ Not bothered about all the geeky brewing stuff (I'll leave that to the CAMRA members), just suffice to say it tastes absolutely lovely and got me completely b*******ed drunk watching the FA Cup Final last night.

    Maybe Just A Shandy

    Harry Redknapp has always had a slightly jaundiced take on modern football. He doesn't care much for vitamin supplements and sports psychology, he'd rather talk old fashioned motivation than 'visualisation' and he doesn't feel bad about swearing at his players. Earlier this season I saw him...
  10. Stopping Snoring

    After 3/4 months of enjoying the single life, I've started to see someone new and, so far, it's been going great. She's attractive, had a great body and has a good sense of humour. There's only one thing getting in the way at the moment... She snores like a ****ing truck. When I first...

    Is it easier to turn down a dirt bag or a girl next door.

    Last Saturday after laying out 17 of our own supporters in the West I drove home as fast as the DtS Love Jeep could carry me as I had a works night out. Having been made redundant from the job I loved in the city last May I am currently working for a bank closer to home. The work is pretty...

    Sausages

    IRISH SAUSAGES Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro. Murphy said 'Hang on, I have an idea.' He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage. Shamus said 'Are you...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...

    United Crushed By Rampant Reds

    Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool (Ronaldo 23) (Torres 28) (Gerrard 44, pen) (Aurelio 77th) (Dossena, 90+1) Old Trafford has never emptied so quickly. Even before Manchester United were put out of their misery by referee Alan Wiley, there were more empty seats than supporters. Those...

    SZ Novella - Chapter One

    Inspired by the truly awesome work of the Shrimperzone Writer's Bureau, I've been clattering away on a full version of this dystopian nightmare, attempting to give it the depth that it deserves. MK Shrimper planted a bug in my head and I really hope that I can do it justice, not least because...
  16. Help Please!

    Right, this is going to sound a bit weird but nevermind. Tomorrow night for my uni volleyball team we each have to make up a superhero and dress up like them, the only problem is that I can't think of a superhero to be so this is where you lot come in to save me by suggesting things I could...
  17. Is Sleeping with a friend acceptable?

    This past week has been our University "RAG Week"... Basically Raise And Give Week, where all the sports team organise events to raise money for charity, culminating in a Uni organised Bar Crawl and a big night out in one of the local clubs. I was out with a few of the lads from my house and...

    How to start a fight

    My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming...

    Question Macca and this seasons expectations...

    ... Has the expectations of the fans to replicate the form of last season affected his games this season? Last season he had players such as bailey and gower playing week in week out with him and overall looked like a much better player than we seem to have seen this season.. But, was macca...
