    Southend United Big Brother 2009 - the final run in

    After just over 6 weeks, and 89 pages, we've whittled our original 30 players down to a final 3. To find our Big Brother winner, we'll run a simple poll to eliminate the 3rd placed player leaving us in a head to head for the winner. You have 5 days to place your one and only vote in this poll -...

    Draw and general discussion

    Ladies and gentlemen, too long have we confined our 'battles' to The Pub. Now it is time for a Southend United battle. To that end, it's time to kick off the 'Battle of the Kits'. Over the next few weeks, every home kit worn by The Shrimpers since 1906 will be up for selection until we...

    Worst date ever?

    Come on then ladies and gentlemen. We have all had some pretty terrible dates - so give us your horror stories. Mine dates back to 2006 time. I was doing a mortgage for a SZ poster who I wont name for fear of dating the data protection act or something similar. We met up at London Bridge where...

  6. Marvellous moment this week!

    Due to a long term illness issue at work, three of us have been covering a piece of Scotland for the past month, and I have N.E Scotland. So I've been flying up, this week for the second time, and doing a route within 1 - 1 1/2 hours radius from Aberdeen. (With my SUFC mini window scarf proudly...

  8. who knew?

    I have been driving for over 50 years. I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time...I didn't...and I bet you didn't either... Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the petrol station wondered...mmm...

    Nominations

    Gentlemen - and hopefully some of you ladies - it's that time again. The Totty Cup is back and it's bigger and better than ever. As last year, we will be harnessing the outstanding intellect, wide-ranging intelligence and thought-provoking insight that exists on this fine board and putting it...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - 1st round of nominations

    For a bit of fun and to honour our club's history, I propose starting a SZ Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United. The words legend and great are bandied about a bit too often for my liking, I'd like our Hall of Fame to be exclusive and so that only the elite make it. It...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Liverpool's Slippery Title Chase

    There's a distinct Joey Barton vibe about Liverpool this week. We look at them with a grudging respect, we acknowledge the good start, but we all share a growing sense of uneasiness, as if it's only a matter of time before they fall flat on their face, or in Barton's case, re-arrange someone's...

  16. NSFW MK's Indie Club spectacular

    Though I don't ever remember this tune being played in an Indie club (far too chilled out!) it is a top tune from a band that really didn't do much else. According to YouTube it's an 18+ video 'cos it's got a BEVVY of naked ladies in it (all tastefully covering up their bits I hasn't to add)...

    Where the Country really has gone wrong.

    Well, other than the economic crisis - I want to touch on how it's treating it's veterans of wars and conflicts. Next year, 06/06/2009, is the 65th anniversary of D-day, possibly the most important day in the modern history of our country and possibly the world. That day, people like my...

    TV Shows that have been made into successful films

    I was talking to my mate about this the other night and just how many of them sucked ***. We started initially talking about comedy shows, but then veered off onto others. Can you think of many that have worked successfully? Or more importantly, the reason why they rarely ever do? We couldn't...
