I see Dom Ballard scored another brace tonight for the away win.

Arse! Drat! ****!

Bugger! I'm going to have to have an extra celebratory pint.. Support your local (Pompey) pub! 🙂

My local pub!

There's no type of house that is unsuitable, since an inefficient, badly insulated property will be so regardless of the heating source, although individual circumstances might prevent an ASHP. But most talk is about wet systems where there are issues, particularly trying to adapt an existing installation. It might be worth looking into Air to air (A2A) where you could dip a toe in the water quite cheaply and simply from an installation point of view. Perhaps just start with your main living room as an experiment. I hope to go A2A this summer, keeping gas for the first winter and then removing the rads and gas meter (and standing charge!) should the experiment go well. My 3 bedroom property is well insulated and I'll probably only go for a split with one emitter downstairs and one upstairs. The latter would be more more cooling in summer heatwaves, which is of course the other advantage of A2A. I also have PV but no battery and this should certainly help during the shoulder months.

I thought it was £76, but either way... just the once.

South coast line to Victoria?

Full of druggies and expensive rent, and the snow at Whistler is crap; I've been there a couple of times!

I think I'm going to confiscate your batteries..

I think you'll find 10.00hrs is four bells and 8 bells would be 12.00, so I hope you get your drink!

Ladies and gentlemen, from New South Wales I give you......The Moreton Bay marvel, The Toongabie terror, the Emu Plains drifter, the Fort Macquarie wanderer, the Norfolk Island... What's worse is that I'm sober..

Well, let us know if you find a decent stream for Saints otherwise I'll watch here..

Look on the bright side: Portsmouth and Leicester losing at home..

I went a few years ago to the Friday night season opener and had a good time in the city before heading on to friends in the north the day after. The trams weren't working so I went in to a pub after the game, got chatting and some local fans gave me a lift back to my digs. It would have been a long walk! We need a different chant: We all hate our owners, we all hate our owners, la la la la, la la la la! Probably not nuanced enough, ours just seem incompetent..

Last night I thought bringing him on when we were comfortably winning was a good idea as there'd be no weight of responsibility and he might play better as a result, but oh dear.. Bring on a youngster instead for their development in a winning game.

You made the train then? 😉

That's a strong bench at this level. Wouldn't it be nice if they weren't required at all?

I believe it can be quite effective, but I can't remember I saw Saints 'pounce'.. Can't help on the bus front, but for me it's less than a half hour walk, although I appreciate others may not be as mobile. Google gives 31 minutes and I've always found it pessimistic against my speed.

Is anybody going to sign up to their forum to er... empathise and also warn them about RM, who is at least as inflexible as Jones..

I'm over that way so would normally go up to Victoria except there are works on the Sunday (but not on the Saturday). Having to go via Waterloo they rush you another £10, or £17 if you get a travel card, due to the fragmented nature of our railway system, plus a potentially longer wait at Havant. Losing my enthusiasm now..

Same on the Brighton line. After the delightful journey home on the bus last Saturday I'm definitely driving this week..

Quick glance in the newspaper: do they have any players _without_ a yellow card? Jones may be entertaining at the end..

Yes, but how are they doing against Portsmouth?!

Dunno, our youth team players didn't do so badly.. Mind you, Pompey went years without an academy so no idea what it's like now..

Think there's no dissenting by anyone about Archer. I saw him alongside Larin at one point and thought maybe that would help, but not to be. On Romeu I thought he looked fitter and quicker than his previous cameo appearances, and was making a bit of a difference unlike previous appearances this season. Maybe it was that yard in his head that all old players think they have! Long could have done better with their goal I suppose, but he didn't worry me like Bazunu does all the time, although we can do better for a first team keeper.
