Ohio Saint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 That's you, me and (I think) Hamilton who grew up in Hythe and ended up in Canada. Clearly, we knew that 'progress' would see Hythe High Street being closed to vehicular traffic and The Croft ending up as a Tesco Express. Hold on. I grew up in Harefield, but lived in Hythe a good number of years....my favourite place in the world.........The Croft is a WHAT!!!!???? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! What about the Hilltop? What about the Old Mill? You gotta fill me in!!!...........Gently please.....It's all gonna be bad news.
Ohio Saint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 The Lord Nelson will ALWAYS be there, yes? please? At this point, I am actually considering dumping atheism if it will help.
Shanghai Saint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 Shanghai previously and Singapore since September
CanadaSaint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 Ohio, I think the Nelson's still there, not sure about the Old Mill, but I sh*t you not about the Croft. I headed there for a pint and came out with a chocolate bar and a lottery ticket. This stuff makes the loss of The Empire pale into insignificance. Best not to think about it if you grew up there.
Easty Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 The Lord Nelson will ALWAYS be there, yes? please? At this point, I am actually considering dumping atheism if it will help. Where from in Harefield!! Lived in Fritham rd from 60/78 Moorhill boy??

Ohio Saint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 I sh*t you not about the Croft. I headed there for a pint and came out with a chocolate bar and a lottery ticket. I honestly think that it is quite possible that I am the saddest person on the planet right now. Just for once, I am not being ironic or funny. Just sad. I can now see how it would be painful to have the 'Gift" of eternal life......Unless, of course, Tesco Express can get you drunk and laid while including fun for the kids all in a single night.

Ohio Saint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 When anyone here asks me what I miss about the UK (They do that often) I can honestly say, and always do, I miss the pubs......That's it then! I have nothing to go back for!!
Cherrypicker Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 Brisbane, Australia. Sunny today, perfect tomorrow.

Yeah, I was in the Lord Nelson last August. I usually come over to Hythe on the ferry from Southampton and drop into the Lord Nelson for lunch and a pint (or two). Then walk up into Hollybank Estate to visit the bungalow I lived in from 1960-68.

OttawaSaint Posted 11 January, 2014 Posted 11 January, 2014 I live in South Western Québec, just across the river from Ottawa. We are having a freezing rain storm at the moment, like an enormous skating rink out there at the moment.
LatvianTolix Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Still in Riga. Arrive to my beloved Soton once or twice a year.
Mystic Force Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Is it true that Oregon is the meth capital of the US and it rains more than England !!! I think you will find that Ottumwa, Iowa is the meth capital of the world thanks to the sister of the actor Tom Arnold. I fortunately live in a nicer part of Iowa. We dont get that much rain but its bloody cold.
Bobbyboy Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Cincinnati, Ohio (Matches all watched on the other side of the river in Covington, KY) So, can I give you an order for Jungle Jim's?
NI Saint Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Berlin, Germany. I stream the matches or madly refresh the match thread and BBC. Saints are never on in the pubs here unless they are playing a top 4 team or united and as long as there are no Bundesliga matches on at the same time.
HK_Phoey Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Since leaving Southampton in 1995, I have lived in Edinburgh, Ottawa, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and now back in Singapore.
bally37 Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Toronto, Canada, and get back at least once a year to watch a game or two.
hutch Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Most of my time now in cold wet and miserable Kuwait, with occasional trips "home" to Pretoria, and even more occasional trips "home" to the UK
Bermuda Saint Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 you might disappear if you came here, more golf courses per square mile, smallest draw bridge in the world, pink beaches and funny shorts, you will win an all expenses paid vacation if you can guess where I am from.
MbaleSaint Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 Currently living in Christchurch, New Zealand. Went to see the local team, Canterbury Utd, play against WaiBoP Utd in the NZ national league today and the visitors' goalkeeper and captain was Andrew McNeil, who was in the Saints side that reached the FA Youth Final in 2005, with Walcott, Best, McGoldrick, Lallana, Bale etc. He played a few games in Scotland (Hibernian, Raith, Livingston) after being released by Saints, without playing a first team game, and is still only 26. He didn't have a lot to do today but was beaten by a screamer for the only goal of the game. One of the players for Canterbury was Danny Boys and in the programme it said Southampton was one of his two former cubs but I've never heard of him. Anyone?
Dark Munster Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 It's not easy braving the chilly 70F winters here, but someone has to do it.

Cincy USA Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 So, can I give you an order for Jungle Jim's? There are two JJ's now!
Bobbyboy Posted 12 January, 2014 Posted 12 January, 2014 There are two JJ's now! I heard, and one opening in Indianapolis where we used to live. They waited until we moved south. :-( A magical land of wonder and delight, three yes THREE British aisles and an entirely separate Indian section. And the best toilets this side of St Mary's. *sigh*
