    Any Subaru owners on the Zone??

    Very random I know, but with Southend being somewhat of a car mecca (yes, a vast majority are heaps of course!) at the weekends, I was wondering whether any other SZ members owned the beautiful Japanese beast that is the Subaru Impreza?! If you do, let me know and we can compare geeky notes! :D

    Celtic v Rangers

    I'm told by my Scottish friends that when it comes to excitement, you'll have to go a long way to beat an Old Firm derby between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. I've always been a little dubious of that claim. After all, I've been to Tottenham against Arsenal. Could it really be anymore...

    New ideas for TV shows

    Our five-a-side game at Mile End was one player short tonight so someone suggested having a reality TV show to find an extra player. Part of me found this so funny it needed sharing, part of it is undoubtedly self-indulgent but a big part of me is hopeful of getting more ideas from the good...

    A dark day looms

    In a couple of Sundays time, for the first time ever, I am going to have an Essex post code. I'm leaning towards traditional Japanese hara kiri, but any alternative suggestions of ways to top myself would be much appreciated. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

    Fell asleep watching Consadole Sapporo

    I feel it is important to remind Southend supporters how lucky they are to be able to watch their team. Passion, excitement, drama, atmosphere, quality!?! This weekend I watched Consadole Sapporo (my new second team) draw 1 -1 with Ehime FC in the Japanese second division (J2). Consadole are...

    Proud to be British?

    Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything...
