    The Pub

    Not this on-line pub but "the" English pub. RIP? I guess most of you guys visit the hostelry occasionally. For how long is that going to be possible other than via faceless characterless town centre mega-pubs? There was a programme on the radio last night about locals taking over their own...
  2. AGM minutes

    Uncle Albert, boots shining like a cyclists tail light,strode into the foyer of the Palace Hotel. As he did so a smartly dressed youngman hesitantly came forward to greet him. His job was to welcome all the Bluesshareholders as they arrived for the clubs AGM and he’d obviously beenforewarned not...
  3. Mad Cyril

    A sad day for Southend.

    Todays Echo reports that the Mac Mart have lost their alcohol licence.
  4. Drunken Disorderly Inn

    An interesting slant on alcohol overindulgence from Manchester Police http://www.gmp.police.uk/live/disorderly.nsf/index.html?readForm

    "Jesus Christ fasted for 40 days and everything went well"

    Interesting story... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/10266485.stm Siyabulela Makunga, the executive director of Safsa (South African Football Supporters Association), said he was also making other sacrifices in the belief that this will help his national team. "I'm absconding [sic]...

    Mills Spendiff Lost and Found?

    The Brockster and I have just come back from a "lost" 3 days in Inverness. Great time, great pubs and some mad football up there. During a lull in alcohol intake we went to Ross County FC, finalists in the Scottish Cup next week. Took a blue voice flag and took a load of photo's of the ground...

    Harry's Nostalgia - North Bank Memories

    With the imminent return to the North Bank, albeit for two games I thought I'd share a few memories with you, while I still have them that is. Firstly though a big well done to Smiffy, TrueBlue and all the others who have worked hard to achieve this. :clap: From the first day I stepped into...

    Why don't I feel Christmassy yet?.....

    .....because I've realise what a ******* Santa is, that's why. I mean, aside from the dubious idea of an elderly man entering the bedrooms of sleeping children and emptying his sacks, what else does he do? Think about it: 1) Parking offences - how many parking tickets must he pick up with his...

    Brighton tickets

    Just realised that its all ticket this weekend and I havent got mine yet!!! Anyone who is on the SOL coach able to do me a massive favour and pick me one up tomorrow from the ticket office and will sort out the cash on the coach?? Naturally there will be alcohol offered as an incentive when...
  11. Legalise drugs article.

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...
  12. Question Pub for Ooze fans - suggestions

    Ooze message board wants to know where they could all meet up, mob-handed like, best would be the Cornucopia on the seafront, unless anyone knows of a phonebox with an alcohol licence........
  13. The I Phone and Technology

    I like to think of myself as a young pup at 23. Even since the 90s there has been a massive development in technology from the Sega Saturn and Mega Drive to X Box and Playstation and Wii. Brick like mobile phones with children lucky to have one and perhaps parents well off to almost all...
  14. Random Unplanned Nights Out

    Last night I went out for a meal with some mates of mine, kind of to celebrate the fact we'd all graduated and kind of just an excuse to have a few. I ended up walking in to my front door at 5:30am this morning, having consumed a stupid amount of alcohol and I am now suffering. Hangover aside...
  15. Fans detained under Section 27

    Quick request - I'm writing an article about Section 27 legislation - the powers given to police to move or detain any individual or group who they believe pose a threat of alcohol related disorder, and I'm looking for Southend fans to tell me about their experiences. If anyone has been a...
  16. What Did You Learn From University?

    Earlier today, I put the finishing gloss on my last ever University assignment. Ever. It's been 3 short years really, I've gained 18 lbs in Alcohol, I'm ridiculously in debt, but I'll have some letters to add onto my name. I've learnt a lot though, hardly anything journalism related, but more...

    Top 10 things we lie about

    Apparently this is the top 10 things we, collectively, lie about. Thought it would be fun to see which on here has been lied about most - anonymously, of course! 1. Age - funny one this, at Eggheads, young Hutton turned round to me and said I thought you'd lie about that! Never occurred to...

    Maybe Just A Shandy

    Harry Redknapp has always had a slightly jaundiced take on modern football. He doesn't care much for vitamin supplements and sports psychology, he'd rather talk old fashioned motivation than 'visualisation' and he doesn't feel bad about swearing at his players. Earlier this season I saw him...

    Gambling vs Alcohol

    £20 spent at the casino and lost, or £20 spent out on beer and getting very merry?

    Where can I buy Carlton Dry?

    Guys and Girls, I need your help. In August, one of my school friends is coming back from Australia for 3 weeks to visit everyone. The last time she was back was 3 years ago, and when she was back we was all drinking corona back then with her. Now I was chatting to her on FB the other day and...
