    League one play-off's

    It would have been impossible for the ticket office staff to recognise them when they arrived. Clad in red and white scarves and speaking in broad Yorkshire accents, the Leeds United supporters who had failed to secure Wembley tickets in their half of the stadium surreptiously crept down the...

    General Studies exam

    Okay- after sitting my first General Studies exam, I cannot for the life of me see why this is a subject! The first question simply patronised anyone with a degree of intelligence in mathmatics! Changing Celsius into Farenheit (sp) and visa versa. Then we were asked to look at the average...

    Guess who?

    Have a guess who this is and how old she is? You could cheat and right click on the pictures properties but thats no fun.Others may recognise her but I certainly didnt!

    Shrimperzone: Pass a poppy...

    Hopefully the mod's will see this, and either keep it here, or stick it at the top. The idea was something that was started on one of those social network webistes, where people sent each other poppies and hopefully it would spread and everyone would have a picture etc.. I'm hoping to pass this...

    Steve Tilson on BBC Essex

    Just interviewed. Most interesting comment when asked how Collis played he said that is the best he's played so far and justifyied it by saying he claimed a lot of crosses, before only then going onto mention the good saves he made. Its very reassuring to hear our manager recognise the...

    First day back tomorrow

    At work after FOUR months of being a layabout slob. :minger: I don't know if I am looking forward to it or not. :cry: I've spent a week or so retraining myself with 6am alarm calls but I know I'll be drained this time tomorrow. First time working in Docklands for me, after years of trying, on...
  7. An open letter to Southend United

    Dear SUFC, I am posting this open letter because whenever I have emailed the club over the years I have never received a reply. I am a season card holder with my young son in the West Stand and was appalled at the lack of segregation on offer at today's match with West Ham, and...

    Eastbourne V Lakeside

    well guys and girls many of you know, I manage to contain myself through close season, with my love of Speedway. And what a great team I have been lucky enough to watch this year down at Arena Essex. But more to the point what an even greater team I am gonna have the pessure of watching for the...
  9. Formatting a hard drive

    Hello bods, Need some IT help.... I'm trying to install a new Hard Drive on an old PC and having troubles... The CD drive picks up the Windows XP disk and begins to install, but once it restarts, the whole process starts again... it's as if the PC doesn't recognise the hard drive. On the BIOS...

    Ron: The day my family home was raided by the police

    Apologies if it's already been posted, but Ron's article on the echo website makes for interesting reading... Link: http://www.echo-news.co.uk/display.var.1263579.0.the_day_my_family_home_was_raided_by_the_police.php
  11. Committed players

    I dunno about you lot but its so refreshing to hear Richie Foran talk about not caring whether he's on the bench or in the starting lineup as long as Southend get the 3 points and stay up. I know this could change if he didnt break into the starting lineup but after players such as Gutts...

    A bright new day dawns in Suffolk

    There is not a breath in the air, all is still as the sun starts its journey up into an expectant crystal clear blue sky only streaked with early plane trails off to foriegn lands (and Cole Ewe). An early morning frost is quickly burnt away - the chill dawn will soon warm up, and the first...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 5

    “Southend United Football Club needs new energy and direction. With careful financial planning and professional management there is no doubt in our minds that the club is geared for greater things.” So read a statement released by Martin Dawn plc in November 1998 just after they had secured a...
  14. Safe Standing...

    From a DRFC Forum; The campaign to allow standing in certain designated areas of stadia was given a major boost this week when the 100th. MP signed the early day motion laid down by Mike Hancok, MP on 15 November 2006. His well-supported motion reads; STANDING AREAS AT FOOTBALL GROUNDS That...

    The 10 types of drunken testing

    Shamelessly stolen from another forum but meh, it's so true... We have identified 10 distinct types of drunken text that you should all be familiar with: 1) The "fishing" text This text is normally along the lines of: "So what u up 2 later?" or "U out tonight?", or simply "Ocean?" Despite...

    So... can we actually do this?

    Dead and buried by Wolves last week, we raise ourselves to play the in-form Southampton. One exceptional performance later and many of us start to question the fast-gathering-pace belief that relegation for our beloved team is nothing short of a certainty. So, can we do it? Well, of course we...
  17. where do you go swimming?

    Warrior Square - nice diving pool, good nostalgia value, often cold though and changing rooms smell. Clements Hall - slow tw&ts in the lanes, nice steam, sauna and jacuzzi included in the price, long queues to get in sometimes and they answer the bloody phones in the middle of serving you...
  18. Relax

    So another defeat and now we sit seven points off safety. Looks like our fears are coming true and we wont have a repeat of such a glorious albeit lucky season as we did last year! The club has gone past all expectations over the past few seasons and perhaps now its time to just enjoy the...

    Match Report v Ipswich Reseves

    Hmmm, first reserves experience in 35 years of Shrimper watching. Enjoyable in an odd sort of way. The day went something like this: 06:15: alarm goes off. Bllcks it's Monday. 06:22: alarm goes off again 06:22: to 16:00: hard day at work, big important meeting stuff up in London, meeting...
  20. Stupidity When Drunk

    OK. I went out with a couple of friends yesterday lunch time and ended up having a few too many fizzy blackcurrants. Upon arriving back at my wife's friends house a decision was reached that we should dye my hair. Seemed like a bit of a laugh at the time and I agreed. My memory of the dyeing(?)...
