    Laptops

    I've just finally lost my sense of humour with Dell. I placed an order for a laptop five days ago and heard nothing. I received a phone call yesterday telling me that the order was on hold because it had been placed by a 'Mrs S Currie'. "That's not right," I said. "It was placed by me." "No...

    My first league game

    Hairdressers

    Now for some reason I've never felt at ease in having a woman cut my hair (maybe stems from childhood when my Mum as frugal as ever got the old dear next door to cut it). Obviously the hairdressers can be a haven for lots of dolled up hotties so simple really, which gender do you prefer to cut...

    From todays Echo

    Chris Whelpdale has signed for Posh and Billericay manager Matt Jones has admitted a tinge of disappointment that he chose them over Southend. He said that Blues could have moved in earlier and had the whole deal done and dusted before other clubs got involved, and he doesn't know why that...
  7. Single life in Southend

    I reckon there must be a few other zoners out there who are in a similar situation to me, so I thought I'd share my feelings and see if there are like minded people out there. I'm a 28 year old single guy and a few years ago went out in big groups of guys locally, got wasted, had a laugh and...

    This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters. Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot. At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards...

    The fbm view and ratings - Barnsley

    HANDICAP FOOTBALL LETS BLUES DOWN AGAIN Southend slipped to their 10th home defeat of the season as another nervous display at the Hall handed a huge boost to their visiting relegation rivals. In the early stages there was little to separate the two teams. Barnsley were missing several first...

    Could lesbienism be considered as a form of Art?

    Some of you no that at the age of 41, I consider myself a man of the world, and someone who is attempting (for the last time) to drag his sorry carcus round 26.2 miles of london in under a monthes time. Whilst competing in a half marathon at the weekend, I was aware of to two quite preety girls...

    Ghosts - are you a believer?

    Last night I watched the Channel 4 documentary "Interview with a Poltergeist" which sparked off a bit of debate in the office this morning. I believe I saw a ghost aged about 5 in the semi-detached house in Leigh we lived in back then. It was there for several minutes going in and out of a room...

    Red Riding Hood - The PC Version

    There once was a young person named Little Red Riding Hood who lived on the edge of a large forest full of endangered owls and rare plants that would probably provide a cure for cancer if only someone took the time to study them. Red Riding Hood lived with a nurture giver whom she sometimes...

    Report on Rochford Council meeting

    There is a very good report on the historic Rochford Council meeting at the Rochford Lib Dem web page (http://onlinefocus.org/): We knew it was going to be a pretty unusual evening when we heard that fans were hiring coaches to bring them from Southend to the match , er, committee meeting. Some...
  17. dead already?

    Once again it seems that the Minority will outweigh the Majority. I have lived in Southend all my life and have supported our team for over 35 years but once again it seems the backward thinking of this council and a few select groups will stop any progress as far as our New Stadium and future...
  18. a christmas panto part 3

    when we left off, the land of blue and white was facing a dilemma, what to do for the best?? in fact it was split into 2, one half white and one half blue(or not so blue depending if you lived around hamlet court road,then you were a nice shade of brown) many many times the masses had seen these...

    Your favourite country

    Plenty of bile and hate on the other topic, but us Southend fans are a pleasant lot really. So what's your favourite country and why? Doesn't have to be a 'foreign' country, you can of course pick the one you currently live in. I'll kick off with...Spain. Great food, great...
