    Things that aren't criminal, but should be.....

    ....in your opinion. In mine (sentence in brackets): 1. Any congregation of more than 5 people under the age of 18 after dusk (round them up and put them in the services) 2. Walking a dog without a lead (dog to be immediately destroyed) 3. Old people at cash machines (all assets to be...

    Political Correctness. What gets you back up?

    Prisoners who do half a sentence because they have behaved well. Since when did you go to prison to behave well. What a joke.

    Clare Tomlinson - Sky Sports

    Not sure if it's been mentioned on here already (apologies if it has), seen snippets in the press about this in the past few days, apparently Clare Tomlinson has been signed off for 2 months by Sky Sports and has been checked into the Priory. She's been singled out for blame for failing to...

    You know you live in Spain when ...

    1) You think adding lemonade, fanta or even coke to red wine is perfectly acceptable. Especially at lunch time. 2) You can't get over how early bars & clubs shut back home - surely they're shutting just as you should be going out? 3) You aren't just surprised that the plumber/decorator has...

    Subtitles for the hard of hearing

    You do often get classics on the subtitles for the hard of hearing on the TV, such as in last years' World Cup Clive Tydesley's shouted 1-0 Spain was translated with the subtitles as 1-0 Sinn Fein. However, one I saw today while waiting in a queue at The Nationwide was a belter. IT was on BBC...

    An English Test

    After the thread about poor use of English these days here's a little teaser that you may or may not have seen before. Can someone write a sentence using the word "AND" 5 times consecutively please I've seen it, and it is perfectly correct and an acceptable use of language (Jokes involving...

    Danny Dyer - Cool or Tool.

    Following on from Bazza the Dog's britains hardest away days thread I am still a little undecided on Danny Dyer. One the plus side I really liked him in Mean Machine, Football Factory and the business and while he is a little type cast I think as an actor he is good. I also like the fact that...

    Death Penalty

    I just saw this one the BBC site.....Make me feel sick to the pit of my stomach. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6763817.stm Now personally I think where the evidence is so over whelming and there really is no element of doubt that this bloke is guilty would the death sentence not be a sutiable...

    I realised I was turning into my Dad when...

    Inspired by Rich's quote on another thread: ...that made me think "Ahh! There's a good old Friday topic." _ _ _ _ _ _ _ So, complete the sentence: I realised I was turning into my Dad when ...I went and bought a chamois leather, washed my car outside my house, and realised I'd lost none of...

    Spurs vs Southend

    BRAVE BLUES BUCKLE AS CUP RUN ENDS Southend’s wonderful Carling Cup adventure ended at White Hart Lane tonight, but they can be immensely proud of the performance they put in against the Premierships in-form team. Tottenham had won their previous 10 home games and had dented Manchester...

    Ambition

    I had a strange thought earlier today while looking at what Ron Martin said. I made a post on rivals after someone suggested an inferiority complex that it was a brand of realism based on the size of our club. We've only played at this level once in our career and hardly threatened the...

    3 Word Story

    Since we haven't had a 3 word story thread for a while, I thought we should get a new one up and running. The rules are simple and I'm sure you all know them but for the uninitiated...... .......someone starts with 3 words of a sentence, the next person adds their three words and so on...
  15. Great news for Essex

    clicky Foster's injury worries not being as bad as first feared, pales into insignificance when compared to the final sentence!
  16. OS Match report vs. Norwich

    Opens with "If you see a more exhilarating game of football this season then you need to come down to Roots Hall" Can anyone explain this sentence to me please? I didn't bother reading on to see if any of the rest of it made sense.

    Thatcher

    Sky News saying that the FA have come down hard on Ben Thatcher by extending his 4 match Man City imposed ban by another 4 games and a 15 match suspended sentence. Not sure they've 'come down hard' on the thug.
  18. Most encouraging.....

    .....sentence in the OS match preview for tonight? "Meanwhile Michael Ricketts achilles injury gets better by the day....." Ah sweet music to the ears of all Shrimpers!!

    Peter Taylor

    Finally (!) getting round to reading the Sunday papers whilst keeping an eye on the cricket. Bliss. Anyway, there was an interview with Peter Taylor in the Sunday Times, in which the following sentence caught my eye: "...Taylor who, in 1973, had been plucked from Southend's...

    Two things re the radio

    Firstly, when did TalkSport suddenly start talking about politics. Not only were they talking about politics but they were talking so self-righteously that I couldn't carry on listening to their crap. First up was saying that arranged marriages should be made illegal. Fair enough as a view...
