    Food For Thought.

    I've been a bit quiet on here for a while, frankly the whole political arena is depressing. Even so, I've busy doing what I do. I thought I'd share some thoughts.... The Recession The recession was caused, in essence, by the collapse of the banking industry that took a gung-ho approach to...

    Protests in Barking

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ovXtHsr0k8&feature=player_embedded When will the police learn to treat both sides of a protest equally? I fear that there will be more civil unrest brewing. :( Shame that there is a certain dicksplash on here will support the bearded mob :dim: - but I suspect...

  6. Dont vote for these .....

    Aside from that horrible website, that im finding almost painful to read . A replication of the separation of 50% of humanity (again why ??) Repetitionof figures to the point of nonsensical rambling. Deliberate attacks on the other parties that Libs and Tories dont seem (unless their hidden...

  9. Ref Watch ..... Charlton away

    Given the difference in the respective squads, in theory we should be hoping for the worst referee imaginable to turn it into a lottery giving us an even chance. Well step forward, Danny McDermid, ex Army Captain based at Aldershot, but now listed as a Middlesex Civil Servant. He will be...
  10. Ref Watch ... Franchise Friday

    The man in charge is Darren Deadman who comes from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and is a civil servant in Peterborough. In his fifth season as a League referee he is just one feisty match away from 500 yellow cards. He is on 494 - will he go for it tomorrow night ? His red card count is above...

    Rambling musings when you wake up slightly hungover with not enough sleep.

    Damn, it doesn't matter what time I go to bed (2.30am) and how much I've had to drink the night before (plenty). I still wake up at 6.30 even on a Sunday and well before the alarm clock which is set for 8.30 to wake up a girl I was out with last night as she is going sailing all day today and...

    If there was a Civil War??

    One of Glasgow’s comments on another thread prompted me to start this one. Imagine that Civil War broke out in the UK and you were put in charge of a unit of 10 men/women. These 10 men/women would be the elite of the elite and all hand chosen by yourself from fellow Zone members. You...

    Coincidence or something more???

    Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living...

    I Heart Peter Crouch

    I have to confess to a guilty pleasure. I love Peter Crouch. I really do. I don't want to go and choose curtains with him, you understand, or look into civil partnerships or anything like that. No, my affection towards him is more of a paternal love. When fortunes turn against him, it burns me...

    I'd quite like to buy a flat with my girlfriend, but it's (almost) literally impossib

    Having watched house and flat prices soar now for about 15 years, I kinda always suspected they'd have to come down again at some point. And indeed they have of late. Yet STILL it's practically a dream for a first time buyer. Having had a chat with a financial advisor, we've got a few options...

    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.
