  1. Maybe a cynical view, but one which I share. Those rednecks won't put up with Obama for long.
  2. And these people are the self appointed protectors of the free world.
  3. Not many are 'Real Eastleigh' people though in my estimation.
  4. You complain about people waging a so called 'class war' with reference to RL and yet, as one of his 'chosen few' you have the obnoxious temerity to take a 'class war' atitude to others who have not! It's a shame because you spoil what might otherwise be viewed as fair points of view.
  5. Thanks for the good news Tim.
  6. Wait till Baj(i) sees this!
  7. Professori, you fail to remember that Lowe is part of what went before and was the catalyst to the unrest!
  8. You mention LM getting the vitriol. He has made mention of it in describing the walk along the touchline to the dugout. And boy, did he used to get it! I'm also from that era Nick and like you I have 'seen it all' both the highs and the 'Lowes' (pun intended). Relegation didn't hurt any less this second time but, as you say, we are older, more battle weary and were resigned to it. Like others above I would be glad to see the back of RL but, at this moment, he is all we have and, at least, he does seem to be taking a lower profile!
  9. Those of us closer to him knew him as 'Dear Johhny'.
  10. Hmmmm . . I remember a guy in Lordswood who'd probably be up for that sort of job. UKIP anyone?
  11. Looks more like the Munsters sidecar on their motorbike!
  12. It seems to me that the important issue here is that the team is playing with some style. That mixed with a passion (and some guile from our older players) should see a pleasant season compared to recent years when we lost game after game with little or no style or passion. Let's give these young men time, let's not expect the earth, mid table will make me happy this time out. Let's support them.
  13. How exactly are these 'empowered people' going to stop you from walking away, when even the PCOs cannot? I'm sure it will not be too long before some officious trolley collector from Tesco tries to remonstrate with a motorist for parking one millimetre outside of his bay. Then guess what? Who'll get their ticket punched?
  14. Red and black have not been used in twin and earth for quite a few years now. Although it obviously exists in homes wired prior to the change in colour coding.
  15. Oh yes it does! Over 30mA and you could be stiff before you know it. The lighting circuit has the same oomph. It's at 230 V ~ the same as the ring main. Lighting circuits are protected by (normally) a 6 amp trip. The ring main by a 32 amp trip. Irrespective of those two trips, if you don't have an RCD (Residual current device) on your incomer, rated at 30mA, then you could be frying tonight. If you have all reds and blacks hanging from the ceiling then one of the blacks should have a red sleeve or tape on it as it is the 'switch' wire and could be at mains potential. that's why when ***s put all the blacks together and throw the switch, the fuse blows. Always, always, always turn off the lighting trip to work on a lighting circuit. Always, always, always try the other lights on the same circuit to check there is no power present on that circuit. Always, always, always mark the black one on it's own with some red tape or anything to differentiate it from the other blacks before disconnecting those other blacks. If in doubt, call the sparky out! The £10,000 pound I charge for a call out will be cheaper than losing your life! It's the Volts that jolts, but the mills that kills!
  16. God bless you 'Windmill', here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery for the two of you.
  17. This picture was taken by a bald paedo, 3 months ago when the train stopped for a change of driver. About 11 a.m. on a Tuesday
  18. Why? We have no oil. Therefore not worth invading.
  19. The spotter plane has been circling overhead for the last hour and a half. I wondered why.
  20. I'd hazard a guess that you are running IE7. Techies will be able to tell you more but all I know is that IE7 allows tabbed browsing which is an advantage over IE6. However, I use Firefox (that allows tabbed browsing also) and just find it easier to use than IE7. Some sites however are less easy to browse with Firefox. I end up using IE when I go to Windows update for a look around as I get redirected to download and install IE.
  21. Too right Barfy, why worry about a pet when you can go cream your pants over the latest fool's gold from Apple? That's our Essruu for you, all style and no substance.
  22. And if it fails? Put it back together with vinegar and brown paper . . . . bags?
  23. Presumably both London & Manchester would come ahead of Southampton? If so, what about Nottingham? Birmingham? Other areas of Manchester, Oldham,Burnley? Like the pun Benjii!
  24. Loose Wine. You could get it from quite a few cafes back then. None too sure if you can get it these days. We used to go to the cafe on the corner, armed with clean, empty wine bottles and ask for loose wine. So the owner would go out the back, take the lid off this massive vat and immerse the bottles until filled, wipe them off and return them to us with a cork in the top. Thinking back, I was only about 7 or 8 at the time, the bottles were probably about the 70cl size? Two shillings to fill it up! It wasn't the best quality, probably Marsovin, but just right for meal times.
