    Securing The Future, Letting Go Of The Past

    It’s been an emotional day. Well, it’s been an emotional day for you guys anyway. I spent the morning frantically trying to make Chelsea’s routine victory over Olympiakos sound interesting and I didn’t even know that the new stadium had been approved until Cricko phoned me up and told me. For me...

    Boring, boring Chelsea

    Thanks to Chelsea, I’m in a lot of trouble right now. You see, when I cover an away game from the television, I usually take the opportunity to invite a few people over, let them raid my beer fridge and then sit nearest the television with a notepad while they chatter around me. It was only...
  3. Friday Sexual Harrassment Thread

    Now I work in an open plan office with a collection of fat old men behind me. Usually they're quiet and mumble between themselves about train spotting and Last of the Summer Wine. Wethers Originals. The Blitz. Now every friday this middle aged woman turns up and the conversation turns to pure...

    Most embarassing moment as a Shrimper

    Further to the Pub thread "Most toe-curling moment" I thought I'd create a specific one related to your time as a Southend United fan. I've got 3 actually. First one is when I almost fell out of the front row of the South Upper after Mike Marsh's 92nd minute winner against Ipswich in 1996. As...
  5. Toe-curling embarrassement....

    We all have somewhere in our past done something so foolish or embarrassing that to think about it even now makes us hunch up and cringe..... Mr. Cockles on the Fave Car thread posted a picture of the old three wheeler disability car (and a very non-pc but funny comment) but it reminded me of...

    Why did I open my mates parcel......My dilema

    Nudity in front of ones family.

    Was out with Ben from work last night and got battered at Monument so I feel rough as a dog. Mrs DtS had her Mum over last night. She is a lovely woman and we get on well - Despite the fact she is French and speaks like Officer Crabtree from Allo Allo. Anyway I got washed and dressed well early...

    Should woman call blokes "mate".

    Right - Help me settle this office dispute. I have just come off the phone to one of the companies that we put business through. Now I wont name them but lets jsut say its not the Bank of England,Ireland or Wales. The person that I wanted was not there so I left a message. I had a bit of...

    You know you're a squaddie when ...

    Anyone who is currently serving and has served in the past should be able to identify with many of these certain 'traits'; sadly I do! You know you've been Defence institutionalised (made military) when... You use target indication to point out hot chicks. You use the term 'chicks' You...

    Reincarnation?

    Some of you probably dont beleive in reincarnation but deep down we all have our little tendancies to stray from the norm and do something completley out of character. With me its simply this.... I Beleive that I am the reincarnation of the one and only "BOB MARLEY" I cant explain excactly why...

    Stupidest things you've done after drinking?

    Bumped into an old mate last night who I hadn't seen for about 12 years and we decided to grab a quick beer. One beer turned into two, which turned into four and so on until I stumbled home in the early hours of this morning. Today, I am nursing the hangover from hell. Anyway, Steve remindered...

    Can real men wear pink

    Following on from SZBC last night and a conversation I was having with DtS. I recently purchased a rather fetching Maine pink polo shirt, which IMO is very smart. I wore this to the office last Friday on dress down day, and had the p!ss ripped out of me unremittingly. My question fellow...

    A question of sexuality

    Quite bizaare conversation with my wife last night - nothing unusual in that, except she was coherent, and not a blubbering quivering wreck of humanity because of the absinthe. Anyway she was talking about a work colleague of hers, who is frankly grotesque, she is ugly, French (not much wrong...

    Restricted Access

    Just had a conversation at work about how much access you allow your parner to have in the house to your private posessions. It seems that the office is split between those who completely forbid their partners any access at all, to the extent that they ban there other halfs access to certain...

    Who were you in the playground?

    I am sure we all had role models back in the day. You know the sort - Playing in the playground and your through on goal, you scuff it it only to run off shouting "Collymore" or whoever it may be. When I was about 14 I switched from Central Defence to Right Back which was a move I quite enjoyed...
  18. Rep points? Who cares lol!!!!!!!

    Happy birthday Star Wars

    Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released thirty years ago today. I'm sure plenty of other SZers, like me, would rank this amongst their top ten films of all time. So as a tribute, please post your favourite moment(s) from the films (not necessarily from Episode IV). A big favourite of mine...

    Receiving a "chocolate finger"

    I was out last Sunday for my best mates birthday drinks. Found a really nice pub down on the seafront and started ploughing into the drinks as you do. There was about 15-20 people and it was a mixed group. By about 6pm the conversation as you would expect turns around to sex. Now one of my...
