  1. Time to let Blair go?

    I know this is going to upset a lot of Southend fans, but I really do believe this. We are looking at more firepower according to Tara Brady, but have to work within the wage cap. We now look like a team full of goals home and away. This is, and always will be the way to go. Strikers with no...

    Tenerife Cost of Living

    I've just come back from 10 days in Tenerife. On the first day my wife and I took a taxi to the supermarket to buy a few bits for lunch. One of the things we bought was 4 5l bottles of water. Each 5l bottle cost 0.79 Euros. How much does the same thing cost here? Also I noticed diesel was about...

    RIP Kenicke

    Always far more appealing to look at in Grease than Travolta, from my perspective anyway http://uk.news.yahoo.com/grease-taxi-actor-jeff-conaway-dies-60-192549811.html

  5. The Guardian, Tax Avoidance and Hypocrisy

    Giving that The Guardian is an oft referenced publication on this forum, I thought it would be worth highlighting some hypocrisy in their editorial stance. We know that they are very much against tax avoidance, especially the use of offshore trusts and entities. Surely they would never use...

    Question Police convoys

    My commute this morning was once more rudely interrupted by a police convoy. The convoy consisted of two unmarked, brown, presumably armour-plated vans flanked by two police cars in front and a further two behind, plus some motorbike outriders. The convoy was heading East out of the City. The...

  12. Fight In Tottenham

    Anyone see crimewatch last night? Absolutely shocking. In Tottenham High Road, a few guys are hanging about after a night out, some are sitting down, looks like they are waiting for a taxi. One is staggering about and clearly drunk, he steps back without looking and knocks into a coloured...
  13. Local Taxis/minibuses

    Hi all, I need to hire a couple of minibus taxi's in Southend. Ideally ones that look like It'd be great if we could pay in advance, or even give them card details and settle up a couple of days afterwards. If anyone knows a decent firm then please let me know. Cheers Jon

    The Driverless Taxi

    See the bbc website for video footage and commentary. There is no direct link that I can find on BBC. This is weird! A taxi that reaches up to 25mph which reaches its destination by computer control and laser sensors. This was only a matter of time. This is being tested at Heathrow Airport and...

    Gothenburg

    Going with the missus for a weekend in a couple of weeks. She doesn't know yet, so no blabbing those of you that know her!... Anybody been? I've heard it's lovely, but it's very pricey? Any places I should visit? Crimbo markets any cop? Price of taxi/bus to city centre from City...

  17. The Grand Final

    So after three weeks of intense battling, here we are at the final. Fatshrimp's Steven Speilberg takes on Brettie Angell's Martin Scorsese for the ultimate prize..... So will it be ET over Raging Bull? Indiana Jones over Goodfellas? Jaws over Taxi Driver.... There can only be one, so let the...

    SZ Novella - Chapter 8

    Chapter Eight - The Reduced Hypertherpia of the Closed Mancharia Osymandus pulled on a pair of heavy trousers and sucked the fetid air in through his teeth. Behind him, Rick Astley's body congealed silently on the floor, but of all the contributory factors to the awful smell in the room, he was...
  19. Martin Scorsese's best work?

    As per Cricko's Tarantino thread, a Seany's quite insane (:stunned:) score on 7/10 for Goodfellas, which, in the opinion of the SZ public is his best work? I can't decide between Goodfellas, Taxi Driver or Raging Bull.......Hmmmmm
  20. Latest Rumours Transfer Window shutting ....

    With the transfer window about to shut in less than 17 hours. This is around the time that the good old fashioned rumours start coming out and spread. Hopes getting raised and then dashed when they realise that it is a load of crap. We need defenders. That is obvious and our solution is near an...
