At least there's some good news from Nottarf - the scoreboard operator has finally been paid.

I've just heard from someone who should be ITK on such matters that no-one will be getting off of any trains in Woolston on Saturday.. I guess none of us will know for sure till the day

A gentle rub down under. HTH

Just make sure you get the pitch fee off them before you book anything

How apt for an Echo journalist Dan Kerins is an anagram of A Nerd Inks

Looks like the recent multiple-user-name amnesty worked a treat then

HMMM even more random that that story seems to have disappeared. Maybe have to lin to the cached page then http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:hFyREYu5jI8J:www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/13/footie-wayne-and-his-vanessa-split-up-115875-21893319/+wayne+bridge+girlfriend&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a Damn that's my 3 for the day

Couldn't possibly be linked with THIS then, that would just be TOO random, what with appearing on a thread about John Terry and everything.

I also suffer from the 3 posts a day rule so I'll just post this random photo in a random thread that had Al's random question in it.

Ring Ring "Good afternoon Portsmouth Football Club" "Hello, I have £100m I don't need and am thinking of buying a football club. Can I speak to your owner please." "Certainly Sir. Ummm when you say owner, what do you mean exactly?" "The person who owns the club of course, please put me through I'm in a hurry" "When you say "owns the club" do you mean the team, or the stadium, or the land it's on, or the one the doesn't really own anything but sort of controls it all?" "I jut wish to speak to the man in charge of the club" " Certainly Sir, ummmm when you say "man in charge ....." "Forget it. I'll ring Crystal Palace"

JPFCW requires kiss of life after dying of embarrassment when Saints fans ambushed him and stripped him naked proving once and for all it's the tattoos that are fake and the blue hair that is for real.

On a similar theme (was going to start a new thread but can't.) If we beat MKD will we also set a new record as the ONLY team ever to have played in ALL five domestic professional finals ? FA Cup League Cup Charity Shield Zenith Data Systems /Simod Whatever other names it had Cup Johnstones Paint / LDV / Football League/ Whatever other names it had Trophy

That depends on whether the potential investor considers himself investing in a football club or a potential property development site

Yes, wouldn't matter if the bet was a one off or part of an accumlator, odds would drop in accordance with Rule 4C if a runner pulls out of a race after odds are declared. And in that case his accumulator would have lost. But again using the 5/1 assumption, you may have felt £1 on it to snow in Winchester @ 5/1 = win £6 if it does, £0 if it doesn't AND £1 on it to snow in Basingstoke @ 5-1 = win another £6 if it does £0 if it doesn't were worthwhile bets, surely you wouldn't expect odds of 35/1 and win £72 for a £2 bet(if done as an accumulator) because it snows in BOTH, (unless you reckon that for every 6 days it snows it Basingstoke it only snows one one of them in Winchester, or vice versa , which I would guess is unlikely)

Not really the same thing. Depending when a horse pulls out odds on others can still be reduced. But the scenario is sill different, Horse A winning has absolutely no effect on Horse B winning in a different race so the winnings from A can then be placed on B (accumulated). In the snowing scenario the odds were given to snow in those places specifically. Snow in in one area would have an effect on the likelihood of it snowing in a neighbouring area. By including them all in an accumulator he was effectively making one bet on it snowing over the whole region that included those towns, the odds of which, if individual towns were quoted at say 5/1, would be unlikely to be more than about 7/1, if any higher at all.

Quick, who remembers the PIN number? 657 ? Nope, that don't work

Perfect explanation from Rut above. It comes down to common sense really. Assume all the towns are priced individually at 5/1. Would you really expect to still get 5/1 on Durham once it is known that it is snowing in Newcastle? I doubt you'd even expect 1/10. That's why those sort of bets can't be included in accumulators, the result of one happening has a direct bearing on the result of (and subsequently odds offered) of another event happening.

Great decision . Saved Mrs Wurzel a reluctant drive over there today Just got 2 for Block 2 so looks like it's open

Go on strike for what? As PB said in his next sentence he works for a company only just making a profit. To those that can see the bigger picture keeping their job is more important than a pay rise. He may not have been happy about it but sometimes it's the lesser of two evils. Of course he could have gone on strike for more pay. He could have laid on the floor and screamed. He could have stamped his feet in a hissy fit ..... all the way to the dole queue whilst his employer reluctantly imposed an x% pay rise and laid off x% of the workers to keep their books balanced.

So my answer to them - and any other workers at any other organisation that think they not only have the right to a job, but a job where they are only willing to work on their terms - is if you don't like it hand in your resignations. You'll very quickly be replaced by a queue of people only too happy to have a job and the chance to work for a living.

Probably too late unless you're very close but Woolston one virtually giving away anything left in the shop. Just got 3 bottles Whyte & Mackay Specaial blended at £3.59 each !!!!!!!!!!

Ah the memories. Saints away to Man City 01/01/05. Nine of us staying in a Manchester hotel the night before managed to blag entry to a private New Years Eve party in the hotel. Requested Robbie Williams Come Undone on karaoke, all 9 of us took to the stage and performed Pompey Scum, word perfect. Polite requests to "stick to the words" from the dj and strange looks from a few hundred puzzled Mancunians turned into a standing ovation by the end

I've always thought the British people are better at standing up for others than they are standing up for themselves. Had the Germans invaded the mainland I don't think it would have long before the civilians shrugged their shoulders and got on with life with a grudging acceptance, much as they did on the Channel Islands. Dad's Army not withstanding of course

I feel quite insulted - nowhere near subtle enough to be me.
