  1. Question £80 million ?

    Since the 2000 article in the Independent Newspaper [see Other Owners thread at Fossetts Forum], what has changed ? RM/Owners have not "demanded" rent for RH and have already written off a sizeable sum, yet there remains an equally large sum, still technically due or payable. Suppose 20% p.a...

    Question Have you ever helped catch a criminal?

    Midday today as usual decided to go for lunch. Lunch when you work locally rather than in town is a sombre affair and usually consists of a Boots Meal deal and a call to Mrs DtS to check how things are going. Today however was very different......... Came out of Boots meal deal in hand and...

    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...

  10. 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...

    Car Resprayers

    Anyone know if it is possible to pick up second hand acros/ceiling props locally. Apparently they need to be 13 foot ones. Any leads appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the website where we got our smilies from has gone down - either they have gone bust, or been switched off, or are having technical problems. The smilies that everyone can see every time are the generic ones we got with the messageboard. Those ones are saved on our server and...

    Alun Armstrong

    Former Ipswich striker is without a club at the moment, trialling with Oxford after being released by Darlo. He's still only 30 and is quoted recently on the Ipswich site saying: Living locally, a free agent, must be worth a look in our current (lack of) striker situation.

    Neil Harris

    "Personal reasons" were cited, however this is what is being reported locally: Nottingham Evening Post 13/7/05 Innocent until proven guilty, but no smoke without fire. Maybe he is not the kind of player Tilly will be after, local connections or not.
