    Tales Of The Ales

    With thanks to Pubey for starting 'The Beer Thread' ... this is a variant on this particular theme. Some of you may have hopped onto the 'On The Road Again' thread from time-to-time (in the 'Away Travel' forum). I would ideally have liked other good SZ folk to have contributed there and have...

    Thank you......

    To all of those very kind folk who took the buckets out amongst the people last night - you were absolutely brilliant. It's a pity that we still had to endure such scepticism from some people, if they don't want to donate fine, just no need to go into a diatribe (do I mean that word?) as to why...

    Advice needed please: Echo contact

    Hello good folk of ShrimperZone. Just wondered if anyone out there might steer me in the right direction here. I've co-written a 'pop novel' which my best mate has got into print. Much of it is set in Southend in the seventies and I thought about sending a copy to The Echo in the hope of getting...

    Slipper of the Yard

    Wonderful article here by one of my favourite journalists/commentators, Mark Steyn: “He was always affable and very much a gentle giant,” said Bruce Reynolds. “He was one of the old school,” agreed one of Mr Reynolds’ colleagues. Gentlemen publishers? Art dealers? Yes, Mr Reynolds has a...

    Question Twitter - Anyone use it?

    Well? Any of you zone folk got to grips with this yet? I was curious so made an account and it seems to me to be just a way for us ordinary folk to stalk a famous person without the threat of getting your collar felt, or am I missing something here?

    'In A Broken Dream' (a pop novel)

    I've been dabbling away on The Writers' Bureau thread for a little while now, re-working a 'pop novel' I co-wrote a few years ago with my best mate.

    Statues

    Just saw on ITV's enteratinment news that Barack Obama has got himself a Tuswords (or however you spell it) statue (or one like it, got it on low volume). It then occurred to me - why do all these statues of famous folk have cheesy grins on their faces? It's not helped by the sheen on them...

    Question Boring logistical thread - getting tickets and a pint tonight...

    So I'm guessing that a fair few hundred folk have got to pick up their tickets tonight from the box office? And that 8 or 9 thousand of our fans may well want a pre-match pint in the Spread / Nelson / Railway?
