    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...

    Back In Business

    The roar, when the whistle finally came, was loud enough to shake the stadium to its foundations. A late Rafael strike and six minutes of injury time almost proved too much for the Arsenal fans who were in anguish at the prospect of another late capitulation, clutching their heads in their...

    Chelsea Fall To Resurgent Roma

    This wasn't in the script. Chelsea were supposed to go to Italy, ease their way past a struggling Roma side and secure their place in the knock-out stages with two games to spare. The side that had suffered five consecutive defeats and were hovering above Serie A's relegation zone were supposed...

    My weird day trip to Bristol.

    Decided to go to Bristol Rovers as its getting close to baby time and I want to be close enough to home so that I can get back incase MrS DtS decided to pop. As we have three weeks to go a look at the fixture list told me this was the last one I could aim for. I am allowing myself home games as...

    Question Scannell?

    Having not been to any of the pre-seasons games this year I heard some really good things about Damien and his ability. Dad Of DtS was literally raving about him. Non-league players always take a while to bed into professional life and I thought with a decent pre-season behind him Scannell...

    Question At what time in your life were you truly terrified?

    I've been scared many times - first time you find out you're going to be a parent (especially when you're still at school) is a frightening moment, but there's plenty of joy mixed in. I would have to say my first live engagement in the Gulf. You think you're ready after months of training but...

    Southend are more important that Liverpool FC

    http://www.crewealex.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10414~1394821,00.html Nothing we didn't already know admittedly, but it turns out that Neil Baker agrees. Football talk is dull isn't it? I know that obviously in the grand scheme of things 3 points should always be the most important...

    Worst school lie.

    Now that school's nearly upon the young people again (seems ages ago and i'm only 19), i've just randomly been thinking what the worst lie i've ever told to get out of trouble for not doing my homework or being late is. So time to share your excuses or ones you've had from students (if you're a...

    Calling all petrolheads...

    The greatest show on earth descends onto the region that is West Sussex next weekend. Aptly named "The Festival of Speed",it showcases many varieties of motorsport disciplines and so much more.Lord March opens up his " back garden" that is Goodwood and let's screaming machinery such as F1...

    The Great Technology Debate

    Its not just transfer rumours which get out of control in the ‘silly’ season but also always appearing from the shadows again is the subject of TV referees or a 3rd eye if you prefer. A referee sitting high in the sky surrounded by as many tvs as your local Dixons and making the call on a...

    Massive development in the computer world

    For 40 years scientists have attempted to make the theory become reality, and now one has 'stumbled' upon it. What 'it' is, is a little chip that can remember where it left off. I'm not really up with all the computer hardware chat so I'm not too sure how it does it, but basically the features...
  12. Snow? In April!?!

    Woke up this morning around 9ish and it had just started to snow here in Eastbourne. Come 1pm, There was around 4 inches of the white stuff settled... Absolutely amazing. There's literally no traffic on the roads on the count of it being far too treacherous and we can't open the door of our shed...

    Back from Gresty....

    ... and what a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon it was too! I thought the first half performance was the best 45 minutes football Southend have played for a long, long time... certainly the best this season. They were 1st to every ball, never allowed Crewe a second on the ball, were a yard...
  14. Grand Theft Auto IV

    Only four weeks left before one of the biggest video game releases of all time. Rockstar have just (literally 15 minutes ago) put the final trailer up on their website and the game certainly looks good. http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=videos&content=trailer4 They have their critics, but...

    Sometimes I despair

    Why would anyone travel all the way to Swindon on Easter Monday to abuse one of our own players' for the full 90 minutes? If you were one of those group of 3 or 4 grown men sitting 2 rows back from the front who literally rained abuse on Tommy Black throughout the game I would be interested to...

    Huddersfield Fans view on the game....

    Basically, it pains me to say it but it's true. Huddersfield Town Football Club are an absolute ****ing joke. From top to bottom, the awards we won the other week are just papering over the cracks. First of all, regarding the match - we weren't very good. Southend deserved to win, they played...

    Sorry Spurs

    Juande Ramos said earlier this week that the clash with PSV Eindhoven would be a barometer of his team’s progress since he took the helm, but if that’s the case then there’s a grim storm on the horizon. Most people put Tottenham’s abysmal showing at St Andrews last weekend down to a hangover...
  18. The Jobson Years

    Hi everyone I've been reading this forum with interest. I'm now ready to make my debut. Firstly, a big thank you to everyone associated with running Shrimperzone. One thing that strikes me is that most people's views on here are so black and white. So, I'm going to present a balanced view on...

    Boot Sales

    Ok, not the coolest thread title. My time as a Bachelor looks to me drawing to a close. I have amassed a collection of random stuff that i either no longer need or cannot be bothered to pack up and move. So, im going old school, and gonna see if others want the stuff i dont. Now there is a...

    Arsenal rue missed chances

    How can two goalless draws be so different? Chelsea’s blank with Olympiakos on Wednesday morning was so desperately dull that it could have come straight from Dante’s sixth circle. This, though, was so different. Still no goals to write about, but it was never anything less than pulsating. Only...
