    FarSide - Gary Larson

    One of the few pleasures of working was that each year some kind soul would buy me the Far Side desk calendar for Xmas. Sadly Larson ran out of steam and decided enough was enough and the desk calendar was no more. For those of you that haven't a clue who I'm on about I've added a couple of my...

    Energy bills

    Boring subject but I am paying around £150 a month from British gas for gas and electricity in a four bed detached house with cavity and loft insulation. Sounds miles too steep to me unless my neighbour is running a cannabis farm off my supply. Is anyone getting a better deal?

  7. Alright you happy people?

Only get along every 2 years or so when I'm back in the UK. My last game was last January, vs Cheltenham (lost 2-1...

  10. Memory Lane Pubey's trip down memory lane

    I don’t know why, I guess I’m just getting old, but yesterday I had a real sense of nostalgia. I spent the evening thumbing through our wedding album with Mrs Pubey, a regular pastime, and my eye was drawn to a family who have been ‘family friends’ all my life. They were...

    Question Old football programmes

    Having a mass 'loft clearout', you know the ones where your back is on the verge of giving way, your sweating profusely and you've smacked your head on the same f**king wooden beam 3 times over. Half the time is spent being nostalgic the other half shouting 'What about this? Do you want this...

    I currently have a very old Sky box. I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to either Sky + or Sky HD. The problem I have is that I have a non standard installation.

    Southend Match Day Magazines

    I have a rather huge collection of home match day magazines that goes back to the season we won the old 4th Division. The collection isn't complete by any means, and there are also a load of away ones from the early 90s when we were in the old 2nd Division. At the moment they're all in my loft...

    Useless Kitchen appliances

    To cut a long story short last thursday after debating what to have for our tea, I decided that we would have 'proper chips' rather than oven chips.
