    Kids Just Don't Know Their Born

    While having a wonder around the shop today it suddenly struck me just how little kids know of the real world and what they are missing out on. It started when my missus mentioned our niece and how it must cost her mum a fortune so she can wear all the clobber and make-up yet she hasn't two...
  2. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...
  3. The end of Top Gear...?

    Rumours abound that this series of Top Gear is the final one as viewing figures have plummeted. Not a big car fan and I do Sky+ it and fast forward through the reviews, but it's still an entertaining show when they do their silly challenges (even though the art one on Sunday was cack).
  4. All At Sea fanzine

    Hello all, I'm quite bored at work so thought I would try and canvass a bit of opinion on All At Sea. Many of you on here will read it, but equally, many of you will not, and I want to know why not? We notice that our readers are mainly 25+ and are keen for younger Shrimpers to read it. I...

    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.

    Tweet That, Darren

    Have you ever Twittered? I have to confess that, like European federalism, gardening and 'Jedward', I always thought it was something for other people to worry about. Twitter, I found out this week, is a chance to spurt 140 characters of whatever you're doing at the world, or at least those...

    X Factor - John & Edward

    Just watching the X Factor (against my wishes) and have just witnessed two Irish kids murdering the song they've been given to perform - Oops I Did it Again by Britney Spears. They were absolutely dreadful but very entertaining. They are going to get my vote tonight even though they can not...

    Dwight Yorke - Born to Score

    BORN TO SCORE? What would you do if you were a professional footballer? How would you act? I know what you're going to say, you're going to say the same as me. You're going to say that you'd give it everything. You're going to say that you'd be tee-total, that you'd train hard, that you'd...

    Summer Madness

    Was football just waiting for me to go on holiday before it got interesting? I left for the sun-bleached Spanish countryside on the morning after the Confederations Cup Final and, no sooner had my budget airliner wobbled onto Alicante's dusty runway than the transfer market exploded. Every trip...

    Job Done

    Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal Sir Alex Ferguson stepped lightly across the slick Old Trafford turf, turning slowly and taking in the view as if it was his first ever visit to the stadium. With eyes full of awe and a broad grin splashed across his face, he let out a long, sigh of satisfaction...

    I wish I'd Gone To Hayes

    Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea So was it Guus Hiddink's tactics or Petr Cech's saves? Was it the referee and his failure to spot a late tug on Theirry Henry or was it Barcelona's inability to take their chances? Chelsea fans won't give two hoots. The net result of this rather grim affair was a scoreless...
