    Good to see him walking around with no crutches, no plaster cast and smiling yesterday. Really hope that he is one of the out of contracts that is re-signed.
  3. DIY/New Plaster

    Had a room skimmed, and going to paint it later today. Plasterer said to water down the first coat (50/50), second coat (80/20) and then it'll be fine for a top coat. Do I need to do anything else? Sand/wash the walls??? Cheers pubes
  4. Building/DPC help...

    Ok, just had a quote for some work that needs to be sorted on a house we're buying. Spoke to the guy and he reckons that it's 1 days work. Does that price seem reasonable?? Any help/advice gratefully received. j

    Question Football related injuries?

    On Boxing Day over here I went to see Brisbane away at Gold Coast. In line with many away days watching Southend it was a cracking day out (however I've never drunk beer overlooking a beach like Surfers Paradise whilst watching the Mighty Shrimpers) spoiled only by the football (we got beat...

    The single greatest moment in your Blues lifetime?

    What is the single greatest moment in your Blues supporting lifetime? A second when the joy supporting Southend gives you can never be eclippsed. More me personally I think it was Juppys goal. I dont think anything has ever been as significant to me as that moment when he slammed the ball home...
  9. Haye Prays For A Giant Killing

    When I was at School, there was a bully who was a freak of nature to everybody else... Primarily because he stood at least a foot taller than everybody else with arms bigger than most peoples legs. One day, he took offence to my football hitting him and pushed me to the ground, So I know a...

    DIY Help

    Right then, unfortunately I've been roped into some ongoing DIY projects around the house (and as I've posted before this is in no way my strong point). 1) I hired a steam wallpaper stripper last weekend and got all the paper off the 2 bathrooms we're doing up, however as the head of the...
  11. Complaints to City Council

    Complaints to City Council. 1. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it. 2. He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore. 3. It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow. 4. I want some repairs done to...

    Good Post Mortem of our season

    Borrowed this from the yahoo list (with the original authors permission). This guy used to contribute to the SUFC fanzines in the 90's. ps: Didn't realise the Railway was showing the West Ham game on Saturday!!!! ------------ This was probably my sixth/seventh relegation so, as well as...
  13. Wallpaper Stripping

    Not quite as exciting as DtS's Polls on who you'd like to sh@g on EastEnders but still..... Just moved in to an old 1930's house and it has manky wallpaper over what looks like the original wood chip paper. The Manky stuff comes off fine but the wood chip stuff is coming off like...

  17. Training question

    Not sure if anyone knows the answer, but how do injuries affect training? I know that if a player is injured in a game and are substituted then they will ordinarily not receive training. However, one of my defenders played in the SZ Cup and got injured and was replaced by another defender. He...
