    Sickening

    Today at work a guy come in to buy a couple of trousers and started to tell me he had no money. I immediately thought as he must be in his 70's - 80's it might be because of his age. But no. He said that his wife is in a care home (bearing in mind he WEEK, for her to be in this home. And as...
  2. Most disappointing games ever made?

    Following on from the 'Best game' thread, have you ever been looking forward to a game so much, but when you actually got it, it didn't meet your expectations at all? My ones, GTA:IV. BIG letdown for me. After all the hype i literally couldn't wait for this to come out, but was proper...

    I'm in cold water!!!

    Literally....it seems I have no hot water. Now, we have economy 7 bloody rubbish storage heaters, so although the system did 2 baths last night it should have had ample time to replenish. Ok, admittedly daughter has been cooking this afternoon and probably had the hot tap running as she...

    Worst date ever?

    Come on then ladies and gentlemen. We have all had some pretty terrible dates - so give us your horror stories. Mine dates back to 2006 time. I was doing a mortgage for a SZ poster who I wont name for fear of dating the data protection act or something similar. We met up at London Bridge where...

    I'd quite like to buy a flat with my girlfriend, but it's (almost) literally impossib

    Having watched house and flat prices soar now for about 15 years, I kinda always suspected they'd have to come down again at some point. And indeed they have of late. Yet STILL it's practically a dream for a first time buyer. Having had a chat with a financial advisor, we've got a few options...
  7. Sawyer, Hunt and Harrold

    Went to see Darlington v Wycombe last night with 3 ex-Shrimpers involved on the pitch. Sawyer and Hunt started and Harrold was on the bench. At first Sawyer looked like a boy amongst men - almost literally given the height of many of the other players involved. But he got more and more involved...

    Support at Huddersfield....

    Had yet anothger enjoyable away day with the Blues yesterday in West Yorkshire, and thought the performance, and result, were absolutely top notch. However, just curious - I can honestly never remember going to an away game where the atmosphere was so quiet - it was, literally, awful...

    Essex Senior League Derby - Southend Lords Of The Manor

    Not long back from Southchurch Arena from a superb local derby. Southend Manor 3-2 Hullbridge Sports. Hullbridge cruising it 2-0 up at half time. An early second half piledriver from 25 yards, though, swung the game. A poorly defended free kick left a free header in the six yard box for the...

Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Nurofen is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful...

    Coldplay in the Bushfire concert

    I find myself in a bit of a quandry here. I've been a bit anti-Coldplay in the past and I'm actually very cynical when it comes to charity concerts by big name acts, always wondering if it's because of the charity or their own careers. However here is a YouTube clip of Coldplay playing Fix You...

    Your Favourite Fighter?

    Following Joe Calzaghe's retirement, it's clear that he will go down as an all time great, not just a British boxing legend, but one of the best fighters of his generation. With this in mind, who's your favourite all time fighter? Are you a fan of the sweet skills of Leonard, Ali and Robinson...

    Question Best chants of the night?

    Heard some belters: "Stand up if you beat Man U" (to which 9,000 people did) When the light in the West / North corner went, quite literally, on the blink: "Lets all have a disco, la-la-la-la..." "Are you Man U in disguise?" "Where's your Drogba gone? Where's your Drogba gone?" "We support...

    The Strife of Riley

    You have to take your consolations where you can in life. On an evening when he was bellowed at by Southampton's manager Jan Poortvliet and widely abused by over 30,000 home fans, Mike Riley should draw solace from the fact that he lives in Leeds, some 205 miles away from the St Mary's Stadium...

    How cool is this

    Literally started my tumblelog a few days ago, and signed up to Graham Linehan's one. He's just responded to a post I made about getting inspired. Blimey.

    Question What's the worst joke you've ever heard?

    Looking for the worst joke ever that literally brings about a reaction from you, one that means you cant speak or start to put into words how attrocious it was. One that has this effect on me: Job vacancy: Mind-reader. The correct applicant will know what we're looking for.

    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - - Sid Broomfield has passed away RIP Sid

    When I suggested we should have on SZ a Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United, I wanted us to recognised those individuals who helped build the club. In Sid Broomfield's case he did this literally. Sid Broomfield might not be the most famous name in Southend United's...

    Jockey wins race after 28 years

    A Dorset dairy farmer has ended his 28-year losing streak as an amateur jockey by finally winning a race. Even Anthony Knott's children poked fun at his efforts but the 44-year-old proved them wrong by romping to victory in the 2.30 at Wincanton in Somerset. After achieving his lifelong...
