    Players Rest and recreation

    I've got a whole series of ideas for threads that I had planned to unload on you unfortunates during the quiet period of time leading up the transfer window. Sadly for me, probably not for you, this month has been anything but quiet and I've hesitated, fearing that my efforts will drop like a...

    Eat before you buy

    Following on from the "Disgusting" thread, and hearing a bit of a debate on Essex FM yesterday morning, I wonder what are your feelings on the subject of eating food from your trolley in a supermarket before you've paid for it? So many listeners phoned in and said they regularly give their...

    The Widow Jobson

    Don't know if anyone remembers Vic's Mrs & daughter 'helping' out in the club shop in the late 80's & early 90's? (Think I got £48 change once after I tendered a fiver to buy a scarf!) Was in Shoebury Asda last Sunday & happened to see what looked like a thoroughly cheesed off looking Mrs J...

  5. Heartbreaking news -

    I always enjoy the memory threads on here and was enjoying the "Why I support Southend" contributions when I saw the news about the new stadium. So the day will come where the place of focus all these memories, Roots Hall, will be rubble and a supermarket. I know its the right thing and all...

  6. Best ready-made sandwich

    Must have been the subject of a previous poll but I'm currently so taken by Tesco's Finest Chicken & Chorizo that I feel the need to tell you all about it. Having said that, I'll be bored of it in a week or so and will need to look for an alternative which will be based upon your...

    Chicken Out

    Hi guys, as red blooded football fans I realise I might be flogging a dead horse, but I'm sure as Southend fans we are all well aware of the issues of cruelty.:p I keep chickens myself and am signed up to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls Chicken Out campaign (you may have seen the progs on tv)...

    Google Your Fortune!

    Be warned. This is sad and I have way too much time on my hands. Partially inspired by today's threads and one mentioning google the other day. What you do is go to google and search for phrases including your name or someone elses. For example "Darryl will". Make sure you put it in the speech...

    In Englands Green and Pleasant Land

    An incident occurred in a supermarket recently, when the following was witnessed: A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout. When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier, she made a loud remark...

    Darryl Interview

    I had a look through the Summer edition of "Saints Magazine" in my local supermarket the other day, to see if they had any mention of that memorable day in May, the last game of the season. They didn't. Not even in the Alan Ball tribute. But they did feature an interview with our very own...

    Worst Job

    I think we have had this one before but never mind..... After being booted out of University I was lucky enough to get a job in a sponge factory. In fact they made just about every cleaning product you can name, sponges, scourers, j-cloths etc. etc. I did many jobs such as making j-cloth...

  13. Pvrs The Beginning

    It strikes me that the residents of Prittlewell Village need to form a resistance squad, to the proposed developements in our midst. 1. We do not want a supermarket or houses on Roots Hall 2. We do not want the park to lose any trees 3. We do no want the road to be widen down by the bell...

    SNOW - Not as good as it used to be.

    Following the alarmist news reports I fully expected a day off from work so (that I could panic buy milk, bread, tinned food and candles at my local supermarket) as Britain shivered in Artic conditions. Instead C2C decided to run a full service with no delays or cancellations. What is this...

  15. dead already?

    Once again it seems that the Minority will outweigh the Majority. I have lived in Southend all my life and have supported our team for over 35 years but once again it seems the backward thinking of this council and a few select groups will stop any progress as far as our New Stadium and future...

    Xmas Turkey Recommendation

    Fellow SZers, as some of you may know I have never been a fan of Turkey, and in the past I have always had Goose which of course is the traditional English Crimbo Fayre, until the those damn Yanks introduced us to Turkey. Anyway last year for a change and to mounting family pressure I agreed to...

    John from the Co-Op

    Was sacked last night. Loyal customers last night demanded an explanation, but none was forthcoming from the official website. It was suggested this was his last chance at a decent level of supermarket, and he will now struggle to find another job at one. It was even claimed he was regularly...

  19. Regarding Roots Hall

    Somebody i know, who has no affiliation to the club at all and could well be unreliable, informed me earlier that Roots Hall itself has been sold to a National Supermarket chain for a large sum. The understanding is that we are to be out by the beginning of the 2008/2009 season so that building...
