    We Are Facing a Drought

    According to those who know these things, we are facing a drought that could rival 1976. Here's an solution, who agrees or disagrees, like I don't already know. We currently have an energy shortage, a water shortage, and a need to reduce our carbon footprint right? So shut the hippies up and...

    It's that where to go for a stag weekend question again

    Yes I know this must feel like we are reinventing the wheel again but I could do with a bit of help. A pal of mine has been asked to be best man to his pal but has the travelling experiance of a house bound recluse. Guess who has been lumbered to act as tour guide. I thought Belgrade but on...

    Where do you think we would be today had the consortium took over from Ron?

    After seeing a thread I am still very much in the camp of not being Ron Martins biggest fan but where do you think we would be had he stepped down and let the Consortium take over? Would Tilly still be in charge? Would we be top of the league? Would we have ever got Sturrock? Would we have...

    Chariteeee

    I must admit I am confused at the moment.....so many people are doing runs,cycle rides, jumping out of planes,cutting their left arms off. What is going on? I am all for helping out wherever I can but seem to be inundated with these causes.. Is it due to the recession or people suddenly having...

    Inheritance Tax

    I've been looking at Inheritance Tax on the HMRC website but can't find what I need to know, so now I'm consulting the all-knowing oracle that is SZ. Anybody know what happens if you're inheriting from abroad (my dad lived in germany) - I'm sure the amount will be under the inheritance tax...

    How many grounds have you seen Southend play at?

    Knowing how footy fans like to tally up their grounds, I thought I'd share a decent site I stumbled across. It's by the same people who run the Facebook's (ask your kids Cricko) footballground app. I also thought it would be nice to do something that wasn't related to Ron, or finance, or the...

    I'm just going to make something up, let me know what you reckon...

    So I'm sat here a little drunk, not knowing whether it really is time to hit the hay so I thought it's high time I set the rumour mill in motion. Now I reckon that Moshni is going to be used as a makeweight in the next move that Ron has up his sleeve to get us away from Roots Hall, as has been...

    Gunners Fire Blanks

    How Arsenal could have done with a win here. With two disastrous results behind them and a foreboding clash with Manchester United waiting on Saturday, this was a perfect opportunity to boost morale, on and off the pitch, but it wasn't to be. Fenerbahce, much improved from their humiliating...

    The 'Stan

    First of all, I'm writing this from my perspective of the last six months, I'm no hero, but plenty of my collegues are. Hopefully no one will think I'm writing this is order to show off, or to earn rep. Indeed, please don't rep me for this at all. I realise I'm probably not the only serviceman...

    Attention Matt the Shrimp!

    Last season, you may recall that we had a pint after the Blackpool fightback and basked in the glory of knowing that promotion was just around the corner. There we were, singing Tilson's praises and reflecting on our progress, when I went off on a tangent. "You know what, Matt?&quot...
  15. Dave Cusack's Nose

    Loving you on Britain's Biggest Loser mate. Has become must-watch tv on a Wednesday, even usurping seeing the Tims get stuffed. One thing that concerns me is how much you sound like Spotter. Similar voice (not a massive surprise bearing in mind geography) but the phrases you come out with...

    Hull, Hell And Happiness

    18 hours of hell, 1 moment of ecstasy ..... 4.00pm - get up from bed (I work nights), showered, breakfasted, watch greedy tart crying because she only won a tenner on Deal Or Sod Off, Noel. 5.00pm - can't afford the bus fare to Billericay station, where Chipper is being dropped off from...
  17. Gutted I'm missing Man Utd game

    The Carling Cup draw was a strange experience for me knowing that I'd be away in Brazil for the fourth round. Watching the draw on the SSN tickertape I was hoping selfishly for us to get a minnow so when Southend v Man U came out my heart sank. Of course normally I would be jumping for joy...

    My story

    I've never been that lucky with holidays: - Away for Grimsby game two seasons ago (ok, not so bad in the end, I scheduled that to make sure I was there for the play offs) - Away for Bristol City game last season (bad, though at least I was at Swansea) - Away when SZFC played at Roots Hall (no...

    S*it Story....

    If this was me, I think I'd be quite proud. Alas, it's taken from another messageboard: No personal experience of this since about the age of three...sorrryyy but I did see this story online.... Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me. A couple of weeks ago we decided to...

    League attendances!

    The team that's top has just made a press announcement thanking their supporters for their faith. Apparently their last home attendance was 64000. I can't be bothered to check but knowing that myself and the next closest rival get about 35000 between us, I think it's fair to say...
