    Rep going full circle

    It appears that ldnfasto has been neg repped so often that he's gone full circle and now has +50,000 rep points. Is this an intended design feature? I presume this is the equivalent of a joke so bad that it becomes funny.

    Blair Sturrock

    I'm fed up with the constant sniping about Blair Sturrock from certain supporters with chips on their shoulders. If you've actually been paying attention this season you'll have spotted how Sturrock contributes: the way he has the vision to switch play, the way he stretches defences with his...
  3. First time at the County Ground

    Going to see my first ever game of Cricket on Tues. Got general admission tickets for the Essex vs Lancs t20 1/4 finals. Any recommendations on where to sit? Do they have the equivalent of a family stand? Taking my 9 year-old son with me. Mark Mac

    Question UK equivalent of Mint.com

    Been chatting to an American friend of mine who was telling me how great Mint.com is and how it really helps with his budgeting/spending and consequently saving. A bit of digging showed me that they don't have a UK equivalent but that two alternatives are: http://www.moneydashboard.com/...

    What do you pay to go to football?

    Just though it would be interesting to find out what people pay (exiles mainly) to follow their various football teams and to compare that to what's charged at Roots Hall. Just had details of my membership (season ticket) prices for next season in the A-League which comes to $216 AUD for 15...

    BOGMISH Rd 1, tie 3 Crowny v Searle

    Haven't time for a big write-up for this one, but our third tie pits two spectacular goals against each other. With home advantage is Billericay Blue's nomination of David Crown's legendary goal against Wigan. I think this might be the equivalent of a fishing trip tale, as every time I remember...

    Picking the brains of Exeter City

    Has the trust made contact with the people in charge at Exeter City ahead of Saturday's game? My understanding is that the equivalent of the supporters trust down there took the club over when they went bust and out of the league. They may be in the relegation zone at the moment but overall...

    Things I will really miss about record shops

    Because, let's face it, they're all going to shut, aren't they? The thing I will miss most is that random chance discovery. I actually don't mind being able to buy & download music as and when I want it and think it's largely great. But I've had so many great trips to record shops where I've...
  9. Robinho: The £32.5m Advert

    When Manchester City pipped Chelsea to the signing of Robinho 18 months ago, it was dubbed as the transfer that would make the whole world take notice. It has, we’ve now noticed just how petulant a footballer can possibly be. The Brazilian forward come winger come child has had what can only be...

    Col Ewe: credit where credit's due

    I have to admit that following Welsh rugby international Gareth Thomas "came out" I've been waiting for the football equivalent. To this end it's about time we gave credit to our Essex foes that they are the first to increase the diversity of the professional footballer: So well done Col Ewe...

    SZ team of the year

    Following on from the SZ Annual Awards, here's my team of the year: GK - Firestorm, his consistency and the fact that very little gets past him makes him a natural to go in goal. RB - Martin Carruthers, his username may suggest a role up front but given his versatility across the board...

    Memory Lane Episode No 4 Season 1931-32

    In these days of doom and gloom perhaps it's better to look back than forward so here's the next episode in season 1931-32: Extracts from the "Forgotten Years of the Kursaal" by Peter William Baker Researched from the Southend Standard No. 4 TWO MORE AWAY WINS, FOUR OUT OF FOUR Southend...

    Think what you like about the BNP

    But some of what they say does make sense... The BBC has pulled an appearance by British National Party leader Nick Griffin on today’s Politics Show at the last moment out of fear that his suggestions for the control of expense claims by members of parliament would find popular appeal...

    Fancy Signature - Help!

    I am sure this is a query which others may have asked before but having looked at past threads I could'nt quite find the answer - as a relative newcomer to the Zone and not being a great techno person, I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to get the fancy picture signatures - I must...

    Beach Party at Oldham ?

    According to my 10 day weather forecast, we could be in for a spell of fine weather by the time we play Oldham - equivalent to a mini heatwave by local standards. It seems a pity to miss a nice day on the beach, so maybe we should take the beach to Oldham ?

    Wembley: A Nation(al Stadium) divided?

    As a stadium, I still feel entirely undecided about Wembley. It's most impressive outside, lit up at night - a glowing beacon calling sports fans to its central hub. And it's a very slick operation, delivering colossal volumes of food and drink at breakneck speed, being very sensibly laid out...

    More computer help

    Apologies once again for another shamless cry for computer help. I'm thinking of buying myself an iMac, my only reservation is Apples equivalent of Microsoft Office, iWorks. Firstly, how does it compare to Office, good / bad / any good features? Secondly, is there anyway of loading Office onto...

    The Xbox 360 and PS3 gamertag thread

    For those of us on here who play on Xbox live, or the Playstation equivalent, I thought it would be good if we all put our gamertags here so we can add eachother, set up some competitions etc. Mine for Xbox Live is PsychoWilson1...aptly named after our former left back :D

    This week, Nick (SpanishShrimper), from Spain answers the questions. I haven't had the time to check his answers, so hope there is nothing too embarrassing etc. that shouldn't be here.... :unsure: 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Well technically, since I left the Southend area...
