    Famous(ish) people who follow Southend United.

    There have been a couple of threads on here recently where Colchester's stadium has featured along with Elton John. Whilst Elton is not a Col Ewe fan (not many are), it got me wondering how many famous/well known people follow, or pretend to follow the Blues. The only name I can think of...

    Breaking News Sturrock's door is open!

    Well well, having just seen this on the OS I wonder if Gary Glitter and Elton John will be tapping on Sturrock's door at some point. What a funny headline! http://www.southendunited.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10444~2092668,00.html With a couple of suspects in our team I expect they will take...

    Songs you have an irrational hatred of

    We all have music we don't like and there's some pretty obvious stuff out there for all of us. However, sometimes, even from a band or genre you like, there's a song that just rubs you up the wrong way for some particular reason. So much so you have to turn off whatever media device is...
  8. 3 biggest news items of the day?

    According to the BBC homepage at the moment the 3 most important things to have happened in the world today are: 1) Obama issues warning to bankers 2) Airline plot trio get life terms 3) Elton cannot adopt in Ukraine And people dare to suggest the BBC is dumbing down.

It has 13 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms, 15 reception rooms, squas courts, gyms etc and is currently on the market for 70m. This all seems insane, even if you have that much to spend on a house...

    Stroke of inspiration (I don't get them often)

    If we ever suffer the misfortune of playing Col Ewe again, here's a little ditty to the tune of "I guess that's why they call it the blues" by Elton John: Oh I guess that's why they call you inbreds, Scales on your hands, extra ears on your heads, Speaking like yokels...
  20. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...
