    Long story, power cuts and a water dowser.

    If I had posted this when it started, it may have had the legs to match MK's fridge post. So i'll keep it short but you may get bored. Earlier this year, probably February time, I saw some damp patches on the left side outside wall of my house. Thought they would dry up but they didn't. We...

    Wages

    Skimming through a few threads, there seems to be a suggestion that wages haven't been paid. Does anyone have anything concrete on this, or is it just total speculation like Paul Sturrock's rapidly failing health?

    Fighting idiots

    Went to the game at Burton yesterday looking forward to keeping the unbeaten run going. The worst part of the day though was having to watch 2 apparently drunken idiots punching each other and scuffling in the Southend supporters end. Claims were made by one offender that he had been upset...

    Rumour (only): Boxed Fruit Drinks from deepest darkest Africa

    I am hearing, from a fairly reliable source, that our signings are, at present, on pre-contract agreements (similar to Sturrock's 127 signings 2 seasons ago) because of a currently imposed Cricko's favourite boxed fruit drink due to payments owed to former players. Anybody got anything concrete...

    Complete contrasts: what's your experience?

    Tomorrow courtesy of some corporate thing I am off to the Emirates to see Arsenal v Man City. Top of the Premiershite stuff with two clubs who have everything to play for, and putting the overpaid egotistical attitudes of the players to one side, a game packed full of players with immense...

  10. Question What are those tall white concrete things on the seafront?

    Made one of my rare trips down to Southend at the weekend and noticed about half a dozen very tall white concrete things on the seafront that stand out like a sore thumb. How long have they been there? What are they for?

    The Price Is Wrong

    I think it’s time to have a look at that Fit and Proper Persons test. The existing document focuses heavily on issues of past fraudulent behaviour, but that’s not good enough.

    Cut Terry Some Slack

    I still can't believe it's true. I still can't accept that the captain of Chelsea, nay, the captain of England, could ever act in this way. What would Bobby Moore say? He'd be shocked and rightly so. What kind of man cheats on his wife with Alicia Douvall? It's one thing to bonk your way...
