Over 30 years, yea. £165k is a lot more than I'd look to buy at though. A £150k place would be more affordable than renting here

Buying is definitely cheaper in the long run. We pay £675 per month to rent our small 2 bedroom house in Whiteley. If we had the £25k(ish) I think we need saved up to buy the same house (next door is up for sale at £165k), the mortgage repayments would almost certainly be cheaper. Gotta remember that you won't have to pay the mortgage for the rest of your life as you would when renting. The only stumbling block for us is trying to save that sort of money. I really want to buy within the next 2 years, and still need to find a spare £20k. I could just stay in for the next two years, and work hideous amounts of overtime, but I'd go insane. I couldn't do without my season ticket, an annual holiday and the occasional night out.

The half time pint is essential to avoid becoming semi-hungover during the 2 hours you're out of the pub on a matchday.

Too many to mention, all on a par. Last season, watching Rickie's 3rd hit the back of the net at Millwall. The £625 win from the bookies made the celebrations that much sweeter afterwards. When Sharp's last minute 'winner' was awarded against the skates. That was a happy time. Obviously it didn't last long. The whole 2nd half against Cov, it just got better and better. The noise was unreal at times. Going back a bit, the wins over the skates when they first got promoted were special as a 16/17 year old. Put them right in their place.

Mario Licka. And his missus

Alex Ostlund. I know he was a bit of a cult hero, but he didn't really 'do' anything of note.

Social media dweeb, tea boy, and tag-along.

^^Like^^ Bench - New GK, Fox, Fonte, Cork, Guly, Sharp, Lee. That'd do ok in the prem. Think Clyne and Zaha are unlikely though.

Fecking unbelievable, these skates. Blah blah blah, the Football League are just out to get us etc. That comment that it's going to give the other 23 teams an advantage is hilarious. So not paying any tax since 2010 isn't gaining an advantage? They're all moaning like they've been hard done by, they seem to forget that they haven't paid a SINGLE PENNY from their 2010 CVA, which means they were going to write off, £80m? Since then, they've neglected to pay anyone anything, and racked up a similar debt to what they couldn't afford to pay last time. Liquidation is the only option. You think any business that wasn't a football club would get away with trading while insolvent on that scale and for that long? Would they ****. Goodbye Portsmouth FC, once they've built a load of flats on that land, there won't be any space on that island to build a new stadium.

Can't believe I forgot about this, my worst away game ever: Crewe Alexandra 1-1 Southampton. 2006? 2007? Can't remember much about the game apart from it was dire, and Peter Madsen played. I remember that we bought tickets intending to get the train, but it would've cost a fortune, so I booked the national express from Southampton to Stoke-on-Trent. Problem was, I was out on the p*ss Friday night and it was leaving Southampton at 5am, so I went straight there from a night out. Spent the 8 hour journey via London on the verge of throwing up, then negotiate a train from Stoke to Crewe, had time for 2 pints and a sh*t game of football, before the return journey to Southampton, getting us back at 2am. Never again.

Unbelievable save that was. From C Morrisson IIRC. Was heading right in the bottom corner with the last kick of the game

Just read the thread - some have reminded me of other honourable mentions: Bristol Rovers 1-0 in the cup. Fecking Jermaine Wright own goal (was just a deflected Lambert shot IIRC, but JW was sh*t) Swindon away 1-0. Biggest cheer was when we finally made a sub after 80 mins, and we'd been 1-0 down for at least 70 of them.

Sheffield United. Can't remember the year...07 maybe? We were sh*t, got stuffed 3-0, and it took us about 7 hours to get home. Col Utd, packed in that sh*tty old terrace like sardines. I remember some fans right behind Kelvin's goal giving him abuse, he turned round and gave some back and there was a right slanging match. Depressing to watch. Think we lost 2-0? I didn't leave but 2 of our lot went back to the pub at half time

+1. Always hated Sarah Cox, and 'Grimmy' is just a male version of her. Northern and unfunny. But, as I'm 25, I'm no longer part of the target audience. That's another thought - I'm 'too old' for Radio 1, I feel I'm too young for Radio 2 (never liked Wogan, and I can't stand Chris Evans), and I hate adverts on radio shows. I think there's a gap in the market.

Where abouts? We were set to head up to North Wales for a windfarm project, but it all went quiet. There's talk of it being back on in Jan 2013. Pain in the arse being on the road all the time but sometimes it's necessary for continued employment.

Gone in 60 seconds is on in a few mins. A film I liked a lot a few years ago.

Love it. How does that feel you s****s? They do seem to have gone quiet.

I'm an electrician and working at Fawley refinery. I don't mind it, but don't 'love my job' (does anyone?). Currently trying to think of a decent way of doubling my salary without having to work 60+ hours a week. Pay is decent enough but I'd like to be well off rather than just 'comfortable'. I think I probably need to specialise in something then go out on my own. Would quite like to move abroad at some point to live/work/travel as well so that might be a good way to do it.

Nah, I'm 25 so not sure if I'd qualify, and I was never a student so didn't ever really have much reason to use a lot of public transport.

Cheers. Looked through all that, the tickets are cheap on the saturday but the singles back to Euston are expensive and it costs about £30 return to go from Southampton to Euston. Robbing b*stards. £332 to get four of us to Manchester and back. Looks like we could be drawing straws for who's driving home on the sunday, or stay till Monday.

Anyone know where to look for cheap deals on the trains? We're going up saturday morning and back on the 7.36pm Sunday evening, but the cheapest train ticket I can find is £83. There are 4 of us going so it'll be much cheaper if one of us drives, but with the game being moved to the sunday, it would be a sober away day for one of us, which is a bag of sh*t.

Sky Sports infobar is saying that Vitesse have confirmed we've bid £3m. Doesn't go into any other detail.

Some people can get away with eating what they want. Most can't. If someone enjoys crisps and isn't fat, fair enough. Crisps never bothered me much, rather eat fruit. I eat properly and go to the gym regularly, and it's still not easy to keep weight off. I guess that's the main reason. As for the 100 calories a bag arguement, as has been mentioned, what a load of sh*t. They're still all salt and saturates, with no nutritional value. Same as McDonalds. Why someone would go out of their way to eat that sh*t is beyond me. It doesn't even taste good.

Would you want to get into a swimming pool that you know someone's just p*ssed in? Same applies here IMO.
