  1. Beer festivals in Southend

    I admit I could be wrong on this. But I believe there are no CAMRA beer festivals being held in Southend itself these days. I went to the Rochford Beer Festival which was great, and I also tend to head out to the Chappel and Wakes Colne event as well as the Chelmsford and Colchester ones. In...

    More bad news for Barna

    So it seems that the UK is actually doing quite well for itself under the "Nasty Party"....What is the saying? "cruel to be kind"? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25198125

    Romelu Lukaku is a Shrimper?

    This is doing the rounds on Twitter, an article on Belgium football from supposedly over a decade ago (think that's a Twitter myth though, date clearly says 2013 in top right hand corner). But more specifically for us - is that a custard splat shirt Lukaku is wearing?

    Best man speech

    Finally breaking my duck this weekend, acting as best man for my good mate Tom. Not nervous or anything - public speaking comes relatively easily to me - but I am struggling a little for material. He's a great lad, but there aren't many dark tales from his past to which I can allude! Similarly...

  6. Pre season excitement

    I may only be speaking for my self but In anticipation of the season I am very excited about the prospect of this season. With sturrock we always just missed out whether that be against Crewe in the play off semis or on play offs itself last year. Personally I'm a huge fan of Phil Brown, the...
  7. Southend fans summer survey

    Hello all. All At Sea has put together a survey to get a taster of what Southend fans really think about things from ticket prices to the new stadium. It takes about five minutes to fill in and we've had a good response already after advertising it on Twitter. As it's Friday and therefore...

    iPhone 4s Charging Problem

    So my missus has an iPhone 4s. It is not even a year old and up until yesterday was charging fine. For some reason now, It wont charge via the mains using a proper iPhone charger. But it will charge if I plug the same charger into the PC and charge via USB. I have tried two different chargers...

    Prodrive Factory Tour

    Now this is only going to appeal to petrol heads and car lovers really but hey ho, never mind. A couple of weeks ago a load of other speed junkies and myself got together and took ourselves off on a tour of the Prodrive Motorsport factory in Banbury. At £27.00 a pop it's not cheap but if like...

    The Rail Network

    Now, this is something that's had me thinking for a while. I'd say it's pretty obvious that the current rail network isn't that great. Too expensive, too much overcrowding, lots of places isolated etc. So, what's the solution? In the early 60s Beeching was appointed to look at the financial...

    Spectacular days out!

    A bit of self-promotion but I'm looking for other stories as well. My day has involved conquering my mortal fear of heights by doing the Skywalk at Macao Tower (google it). Started off badly when the daft bint I went with decided to tell me just when we'd handed over ferry tickets that she'd...

    Lets save Spain

    Being deeply concerned by other posters comments regarding the current economic state of Spain as the Euro implodes on itself, I do not intend to stand idly by and watch things get worse. What is needed is a 'robust plan', put together by Zoners to save this once mediocre country from poverty...

    Damaged Wing Mirror

    Some **** (a neighbour actually) ending up damaging my wing mirror on my Focus last week. So I now need a replacement. Well, only a few bits of it to be honest. The mirror glass itself needs replacing, along with the black surround and the indicator light cover. The actual shell is fine. It...
  14. Phone contract question

    In June last year, I decided to get the HTC Desire S from T-Mobile, as I was with T-Mobile before. I thought I was getting a good deal for it, £25 p/m on a 24 month plan, unlimited texts, unlimited internet and 300 minutes including the phone for free. Problems have started come up and I don't...

    Rangers going into administration bad news for the English?

    The Scotland football team, the Scottish rugby team all repeatedly fail on the world stage. The Royal Bank of Scotland had to be bailed out by the English tax-payers, now Glasgow Rangers is in administration as the only way it could sustain itself was if it joined the English Premier League...

    Alternative view point

    I was listening to 5 live last Sunday just before the Swansea Arsenal game when whilst listening to various summarisers something one of them said made me think. Basically they were talking about the Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers and how he has fitted into the set up and style of play at the...
  17. Too many evening games for a 'family club'?

    Saturday games I wonder is anyone else has the same issue I do about the amount of games that are being played in the evening.... My son is 10 and I work in South London so getting to an evening game after work is difficult for me and I feel my son is too young to attend any outside school...
  18. BBC Essex Commentary

    Anyone else think its awful? Very little description of what is going on, you never know where the ball is or which team has it and every now and then you get goals from nothing due to the lack of any descriptive build up.I'm my opinion the main problem is that they spend far to long talking...

    PC help please.....

    Since Wednesday, for absolutely no reason at all as far as I can work out, my PC has decided to log itself out of my regular pages so it doesn't retain the passwords and stuff any more. I don't think anyone has done anything to it to make it do this, and I've re-selected the option for IE to...

    Warning for those driving to the match today via Sadlers Farm junction.....

    For the second weekend in succession, work is going on at Sadlers itself and the junction is operating as a traditional (left hand turn only) roundabout. It's causing huge congestion in the area so if you've not left already and usually go that way, maybe you might want to think about...
