LOL at the mention of fishsticks. Reminded me of Kanye West. South Park fans will know what I mean

LOL what reaction is Wilde expecting by surfacing to put this pathetic tuppence ha'penny worth in the mix? How can we take him seriously when we ended up getting rid of a promising young English boss who kept us in the Championship, and we ended up with a Kwik Save approximation of Total Football? arrrrrrgggh *esplodes*

I cook a mean jerk chicken, using the following ingredients. Christ knows for amounts and stuff, just approximate every time and it comes out tasting irie. This recipe is to cover about 2-3 large packs of chicken thighs - on or off the bone - I normally only cook this when I am having a load of people over! Right..... Fresh thyme fresh coriander 2 sticks celery 1 red bell pepper 4 large tomatoes bunch spring onions 5-6 shallots 3 garlic cloves 2 whole scotch bonnet chillies (add more to make it hotter) 10 pimento seeds crushed in mortar & pestle thing cinnamon nutmeg dash smoked tabasco 500g bottle heinz ketchup half pint full fat coca cola fresh ginger (about a 1 1/2 inch cube) glug white wine vinegar sea salt black pepper Throw all of this into a blender and blend until smooth. Score the chicken thighs and then marinade them in the sauce, preferably overnight in a refridgerator. Cook the chicken slowly in the over or on the barbecue. You should be aiming for the chicken to appear black on the surface - don't worry this isn't because it is burnt, it is just the way the marinade will discolour when cooked properly. Serve with rice and peas, or with some salad, flatbreads, something like that. Make sure there is plenty of jerk sauce on the side for dipping - Grace doa particularly good one and you will find it in mosdt international shops that sell west indian groceries. Enjoy!!!

Requiem For A Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. Will put him off shooting smack for life.

My favourite Ken moment - I was sat in the Milton and Monkou made an absolute howler of a mistake, I think he basically laid on the perfect pass for the opposition striker to score. There was an old bloke sat next to me, with his flask and a blanket over his knees, quiet as a mouse for the entire game up to this point. But something in this Monkou f***-up ignited the fire within him, and he went absolutely mental, swearing, shouting, it was awesome seeing this frail old man totally going snooker loopy. Will never forget that!!!

I once had a drink with Wade Elliot's uncle in the Osborne, Shirley - FACT. Nice bloke. Always rated Wade. A few years ago Bournemouth had a good side with him, Stock and Carl Fletcher in midfield.

LOL - benjii - can you tell us a bit more about the Speedie incident? I don't remember that one!

My season 5 was waiting for me when I got home from work last night. Watched the first four episodes. I had avoided teh spoilers up to now and won't post anything here, but there are some mega shocks in store. What a series!!!!

The Wire is without question the greatest television series I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I came across it by chance - was in Crime Converters in Bitterne and spotted the first two seasons in there for a cheap price so picked them up after remembering a mate raving about it back in the day. A little over a month later and I have procured and watched the first four series - the fifth should be in my posession by the end of this week. I loved Homicide: Life On The Street - which was a similarly realistic cop drama, also set in Bodymore, by the same guys. But the Wire takes things to the next level - it is not just another cop show, it actually portrays with incredible attention to detail the whole city of Baltimore, from the petty street smackheads all trhe way up to the top of political office, with everything in between. I am already looking forward to watching the series all over again to pick up on things Imay have missed. What I will say to anyone new watching, it may be worth watching with subtitles initially, at least until you get the hang of some of the incredibly authentic slang used in the show. Enjoy. I envy anyone just starting out with the Wire. You are in for a treat.

I remember going to a match at the Dell as a kid, am sure it was a testimonial or something of that ilk - for Alan Ball, maybe? It was a high scoring game, and was the (then) current Saints side lining up against a team of old ex Saints, if I remember correctly. Of course, this may all just be a figment of my imagination, given the number of brain cells I have destroyed since I were a lad.
