The London games, Cardiff, Middlesbrough and of course ... one little city called Portsmouth.

Wills and Kate - Be Careful!! May Offend!
Patrick Bateman replied to miserableoldgit's topic in The Muppet Show
It's stupid and unfunny. Pointlessly rude. -
I'm not even going to pretend to throw anything together that uses a lot of words. You are a forum troll and a bloody irritating tw*tty one at that. At least Deppo is funny.

Adkin's toolbox - how to get out of the NPC
Patrick Bateman replied to Crab Lungs's topic in The Saints
Am I alone in not wanting to rush up to the Premier League and watching us get beaten week in week out by teams full of foreign mercenaries? Championship would be good for a couple of seasons! -
Sad news, a real character! He shouted at me for driving too fast in to the car park in about 1998

What is your actual dissertation title though? "Hooliganism in the UK" is a very broad brush, are you going to be more specific than that, i.e. "Football hooliganism and it's impact on the average football in the early 1970s vs 2010, on the South Coast"? You need to be specific. You'll probably get all the information you need from: http://www.casspennant.com/book-aggro.shtml http://www.casspennant.com/book-icf.shtml They are actually interesting books to read anyway, quite amusing - but they cover from the 60s to the 80s. Plagiarise away. What are you studying?

B*llocks, I think us ex-Hardley lot would have something to say about that!

Wow, forgot just how bad the start to our season was!! Makes it look incredible now that we're second, well done Nigel and team!!

I honestly think he will be a Saints' legend ... if we can keep him!!

Orient V Saints,post match celebrations...
Patrick Bateman replied to saint lard's topic in The Saints
Agree with that - Jaidi was a rock, I don't recall him missing a header, some were extremely crucial near the goal - the guy is so calm, just wish he was a bit younger really. I thought Aaron Martin did really well too when he came on, his height was crucial too. Dickson was brilliant, lovely cross for the goal! Just love this team at the moment, the spirit seems incredible. -
Orient V Saints,post match celebrations...
Patrick Bateman replied to saint lard's topic in The Saints
Hadn't been to Orient before, didn't realise we would have the whole of one side, support was awesome. Just got in, bit f**ked, brilliant day. LOved the little flats in the corners of the ground and the fact the kids in the one at the top to the left of us were joining in with teh Saints songs by the end, nice one! Thought we did well to weather a storm in the 2nd half, it was mostly them and we were being pushed to fend them off, if anything, our second was against the run of play, but it was a huge goal! We won without Lallana, we won under pressure and not playing brilliantly (Hammond was pretty terrible in all honesty) and that result really should inspire the boys to get up a league. -
I thought "Tool". It's amusing that people still think they are a medium or a large and make their tubbyness more obvious. Because people are deluded about their size and kids buy them?

If the last 2 weeks are anything to go by, expect to get to Waterloo 3 hours later than planned and don't expect a train home again. SWT are more disgusting than ever with their slow speeds in reacting to "situations".

Seriously?? One of the best drivers this country has ever produced and never rated highly enough. His handling of a car is awesome to watch - love his review of the 350z when it came out (it's on youtube somewhere) ... which is the one reason I went out and bought one I'm ashamed to admit!! With Top Gear now failing slightly, I think they should use him more to do some trials/speed tests/decent (but fun) reviews and get rid of Hammond.
-
Honestly, I don't get why people care so much, it's a bit sad. So long as Saints aren't playing in a totally different colour (i.e. blue), does it really matter what variety/pattern of red, white and some black it is?? Most people who'll buy the replica shirts will be squeezing in to them anyway. Footballers are ridiculously slim/lean, so the shirts will always look fine, but the rest of us just look stupid. With ONE exception, when worn by a woman with nothing else on. (Okay, and [tubby] office workers playing five-a-side are allowed)

Sushi and Sashimi in this country is (generally) sh*t. It's not fresh enough and not good quality enough. The best Sashimi I've had was in the Maldives and in the US. In this country, Atami by Westminster is very good as is Nobu at the Met. Been to both of those a few times and enjoyed their fish. As for buying it from a supermarket, b*gger off. Nowhere near fresh enough - it's nice enough to cook though, obviously. FWIW, Morrisons fish counters are usually quite good and often as good as Waitrose ones.

Have to ask, why have children if you're not going to be at home to look after them and raise them? I just don't understand this. It's not as if most people who go use nurseries are poor either, the one near us is over-populated at 7am or so (with similar parents who don't care about raising their children themselves and building decent relationship) with X5s, Range Rovers, Q7s, etc etc etc. If you can't afford not to work full time, don't drive a £40k+ car, problem solved. There are always cut backs that can be made. I'll happily get rid of my car, dump my TV channels and buy less (expensive) wine and so on. Back to the original point; I used to walk and cycle to school. My secondary school was 5 miles away ... I was healthy (back then!).

Of course they do, they are your kids. Other people may not agree of course.

No way!!!! Not another f*cking supermarket!!!! East Street was awesome, I used to love the Toy Shop when I was young, also Tandy was good and there was a really good music shop there too. I remember being young, possibly 5 or so and the place being really busy and my parents letting me buy a small toy in the toy shop. I also remember my parents visiting the weird tower block with the outside stairs ( http://www.yourlocalweb.co.uk/images/pictures/02/61/east-street-shopping-centre-capital-house-25422.jpg ) and buying a stereo system in about 1979 ... anyone know what shop was in there?? Is that building going too? Oh well, I suppose it is all a waste of space and a supermarket there would rejuvenate that area and East Street and encourage people to walk past all the small shops on that road ... not sure there are many left mind you!?

Do you not work??

I don't know, but the trains to London from North Hampshire are rammed in the mornings. Standing room only on every single train until just after 8am. Paying well over £4k a year for a season ticket, sitting (if I'm lucky) in a very small, cramped seat or standing, with trains delayed EVERY SINGLE DAY is not fun. Makes me miss my driving commuting days ...

No, he was the club kitman from 1992 to 1998.

You're 30, right? The world is still at your feet - you have an awful lot of worldwide experiences to offer now and you've probably gained some fairly technical skills from the RN, am I right? Take the money, live like a student for a year or 2 and retrain. How much is a decent cost of living, say you spend £1500/month on bills and food and some going out, that's still only just over £30k in 2 years, leaving you with some other cash to spend on lessons/qualification obtaining etc. What do you really want to do? Many ex-forces become teachers (VFTT as an example). Many get in to IT/Technical Sales, many turn to Project Management in a lot of industries (I know loads in IT, although most are ex-Signals). If you're prepared for a couple of years of underspending, why not do it?? It'll pay off later, you'd hope!

You really are weird.
