    Essex transfer news

    Looks like we've signed John Maunders the former Leics opener. Not a bad signing, although I'm a bit bemused as to why Jaik Mickleburgh has been dropped. I seem to recall Maunders was considered quite promising at one stage, although he seemed to lose his way big time. The main thing going for...

    This Summer's Transfer Targets

    This Summer's Transfer Targets Christoph Metzelder You only had to watch the last 20 minutes of Arsenal's defeat at Stamford Bridge to appreciate how much the Gunners need a big man at the back next season, and it's not going to be Philippe Senderos. Christophe Metzelder was once considered...

  3. Bentley's Absurd Greats Weekly Choons

    Following the format of Metal Monday, Tunes from Left Field etc, I present Bentley's Absurd Greats - dedicated to tunes that are, as Ron Manager once said, uncategoriseable. Many of these great songs are being thrown together on compilation albums marked as 'Guilty Pleasures', but I loathe this...

    BBC News

    Just at the present time the BBC seems to have a penchant for employing extremely weird, affected/afflicted, incredibly ugly news correspondents. Current example of this are Evan (look slightly to the left of the camera) Davis, presenting his economics reports in a camper manner than would...

    Another thing I can't stand.....

    ....and that's the likes of splinky Brian Glanville and James Richardson when commenting on Italian football insisting on saying names of players/managers/teams in a stupid Captain Bertorelli Italian accent. Glanville was on Breakfast on BBC this morning, and I've never liked the pompous old...

    I'm suicidal at this news.....

    ...... the poor little lamb :cry: Maybe that's a symptom of you actually coming from Devon but speaking in some stupid fabricated mid-Atlantic whine plus being culpable for some of the blandest ear-numbing musical pap ever released that hasn't helped you has it Joss? Silly little tart!

    Worst School Trip ever.

    Mrs DtS neice is off on a school trip today. This got me thinking back to my school days (Yes I did go to school) and about some of the crap school trips we went on. I think possibly the worst one I ever went on was when I did A-Level Geography - a field trip to Whitby. The trip itself was a...

    If you had to pick a SUFC player to join you in your workplace....

    Who would you go for and why. I think for some reason that Clarkey would be ideally suited to the cut and thrust world of mortgage broking. I imagine that he would be good banter in the office, a genuine hard worker and would be able to build a good rapport with new clients. My only downside...

    They just showed a documentary on our cable Television here in Sao Paulo called the Real Football Factories with Danny Dyer.

  11. My first day at work, by Cheltenham Shrimper, aged 23 and 51 weeks.

    Started my new job today working as a Teaching Assistant at one of the Schools in Cheltenham. It was eventful, to say the least. In one class, Year 9's, 4 of the students decided to fight one another with the underneath of the chairs (The legs poking out of each other), a couple of the...

    Summer in the Sun - A Vacancy

    Some of you will already know that one of my many projects out here in Spain is a TEFL teacher for a local company in Javea. During July we have a residential summer school teaching English to Spanish kids of all ages. (Granted, most of them return home speaking English with a very slight Thames...

    Nathalie off The Apprentice

    Simple really. Would you? Not sure why, whether it's the glasses or I'm just pining for a good old Essex accent but she brightens up my Wednesday evenings. Oh and before any smartass says anything yes I know she's not ginger!

    If you could un-invent one county in the UK.

    Who and why? Personally I would like to get rid of all knowledge of Yorkshire from living memory. The only person that I have ever met from Yorkshire I have liked was Si from Yorkshire Blues. In contrast things I hate about Yorkshire as follows. * Thick and proud of it. * How they all go on...

    Just got back from Tractor land..

    Fantastic performance from the lads today. Back four and Flavs I thought were immense! They really battled for every ball and just like Jim Magilton has said on BBC website, the players would rather have died than lose today! Ipswich were poor to be honest and only really troubled us the...

  16. 'Pikey' an arrestable offence

    Whilst on this topic, thought I'd let you in on an incident which occured at West Ham on Saturday. The usual banter was flying across from the chicken run to the City end and vice versa. One chant went up from our end of you're just a town full of pikeys. I get a tap on the shoulder from...

    What would you do?

    Picture the scene.. It's 7pm, Tuesday November 7th 2006, and you are walking towards Roots Hall. You're excited because you are on your way to watch Southend in one of their biggest games ever, against Man U. Out of nowhere, a Man U fan approaches you. He says he's a genuine Man U...

    Leeds away

    Anyone know when the ticket office will start selling Leeds away tickets? I am guessing we will only get the smaller corner allocation as they won't want to shell out up front for 7,000 odd tickets to get the full quota for behind the goal (in fact, so far I think only Sunderland have asked...
