    Flat Battery!!!!

    Great, just what you need on a cold wet morning.......a flat car battery. It started with me clicking on the key fob and no tell tale "click" "click" from the car accompanied by flashing of the indicators....strange I thought, maybe the automatic locking system has packed up. Then the...

    A Recovery Nightmare

    It all started normally. Flat battery in South Woodham Ferrers, clutch gone on an VW Camper in Westcliff another flat battery at Southend Hospital. All run of the mill stuff. Then I got a call for an Ford Scorpio in Pitsea with a wheel bearing gone and needing recovery to Great Yarmouth. That'll...

  3. Laptop Repair

    I have a moderate ability when it comes to upgrading and repairing pc's, but I am stumped by this one. My Acer (which I have already explained is Spawn of the Devil) is now refusing to boot. When started the fan runs for a few seconds and dies, and then the light around the power switch and...

    Compaq Laptops

    Has anyone ever had one before? I bought my Presario V6000 this time last year and already the disk drive is ****ed and the battery only lasts for 20 minutes before running out. Are they all this ****, or am I just the lucky one? I've been sold a pup, haven't I? I'd never had this trouble...

  6. Worst performance you have seen and why

    For me its Derby vs Southend in the league cup around 1992-1993. 0-0 at Roots Hall then a 7-0 thrashing at Derby. Started the day by being at work for 5am, and finishing at 1pm, then picked up my two mates in my new car (XR2) before heading off to Derby. arrived at Derby around 5ish and was...

    Vegetarians

    My college are running a £50 competition for the best article for the college magazine. Whilst bored, I emailed them asking for a subject to write about - they replied with an article about 'Veggie Vision', and vegetarianism in general. Here's my effort I've just sent off, safe in the knowledge...

    Treatment of Fans last night at Millwall

    I thought that the treatment of fans by the stewards last night was nothing short of a disgrace. We were herded like battery chickens into 2 blocks when it was evident we needed more. Then when they actually did realise this (10 minutes into the game) they opened up the other block and allowed...

    Chicken Out

    Hi guys, as red blooded football fans I realise I might be flogging a dead horse, but I'm sure as Southend fans we are all well aware of the issues of cruelty.:p I keep chickens myself and am signed up to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls Chicken Out campaign (you may have seen the progs on tv)...

  10. Camera 4 Sale: Canon 20D plus battery grip

    Hi all, I've got a spare camera that I want to sell as I know longer use it. It is a Canon 20D plus battery grip and four spare batteries. It's actually a really good camera, but I have two others that I am using more and having it sit in a cupboard in the box seems a bit stupid. I won't go...

    Mobile Phone Question

    As I've said on other phone threads I made a huge mistake when I was due my latest upgrade with Vodafone and got a Blackberry. After a couple of months of various discussions about their past terrible customer service with Vodafone, I've finally realised there's no way I can get another phone...

    The Game when you questioned

    On the hole I think my Dad's decision to take me to Southend games rather than say a "big team" has enriched my life. However I am sure we can all think back to a game when you really have to questions why you bothered. A time when just in a moment of weakness you contemplated...

    Proud to be British?

    Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything...

    Any car mechanics/experts on here?

    Hi guys, wondering if any of you might be able to advise me over what I hope is a minor problem with my car. Over the last week or so I've been driving along normally but on two separate occasions the battery icon has lit up on the dashboard for literally a couple of seconds and then gone...

    Nathan Barley

    Just got round to watching Fridays first episode of the new C4 comedy, Nathan Barley. Written and directed by Chris Morris (The Day Today, Jam, Brass Eye etc) who is one of my favourite comedians - though he isnt actually in it, the script is unmistakeably Morris! His use of language is...
