    Three biggest frustrations of your job.

    JOB - MORTGAGE BROKER / IFA. Biggest frustrations are as follows. 1. Underwriters - They are basically all failed mortgage brokers who seem to spend there lives pulling wholes in perfectly good deals. Touch wood I dont get many declines now as I have done it for so long but you can get so...

    Citizens Arrests?

    It occured to me the other day that I have never ever made a citizens arrest. I saw a bloke give his Mrs a jab the other day just as the train was pulling out of Brighton station and its got me thinking that it would be quite nice to make one so I have added it too my list of things to do before...

    eBay - Advice

    Right, another of my pet-hate topics. I had an auction on eBay which ended last night but the item didn't sell for my minimum price. I've had 2 messages from people offering me slightly less than my original price but the to55ers at eBay are blocking me from messaging them back. Anybody know...

    Live Music Experiences.

    After Shrimper James's thread about your festival line-ups, it got me thinking back to the last festival I went to in 2005 and it's one I'll never forget. We all love live music no matter what music we enjoy, there's just something fantastic about hearing and seeing your favourite...

    European security warnings

    In view of recent terrorist activities in United Kingdom and elsewhere there has been an increase in international security levels The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon though, security...
  6. Unnamed JJ Abrams film

    I saw the new Transformers film in New York last week ( :cool: ). Before it they ran a trailer for a film coming out next January from the guy behind Lost, although they didn't say what it will be called. Paramount keep pulling trailers which have leaked online but they've now put this one up...
  7. The jontosh2001 DEFENCE analysis!

    DEFENCE The good (or bad) thing about football and being a football fan is that statistics tend not to lie. Often you hear people saying that the stats "don't tell the full story", or "we are better than our position in the league shows", but this is often only justified in the very short...

    Is she really going out with him?

    "Pretty women out walking with gorilla's down my street" moaned, the ironically pig ugly, Joe Jackson. There are many examples of tiny ugly little rock stars like Rod Stewart pulling fabulously fit women. Go ahead and post your most odd coupling of ugly bloke with fit bird. The one that comes...

    level of support

    Given that we've been written off and almost consigned to relegation for a few months now, the level of support at home and away has been pretty good I think throughout the whole season. Assuming that a few new fans have been picked up over the last season or two, I thought it likely that...

    I can accept defeat.......

    I can accept defeat and being out played no problems - Its part and parcel of the game and especially Southend. When we lost 4-0 to Brum you have to sit back and say fair call they are a top top side at this level. What I cannot accept is being out fought and yesterday with the possible...

    Micky Adams - Who's for the drop?

    "Beating Burnley on Tuesday was a big result for Southend as they climbed out of the relegation places, but it is the next game against Leeds that is the key match. Win and they make it three victories in a row as well as opening up a six-point gap on Leeds, which can give them the confidence to...
  12. Colchester and proud!

    Well done lads

    You are out of the relegation zone now stay out! Your boys are really pulling together at present and look like you could stay up, something I bet a lot of you thought would not happen a couple of months ago. We on the other hand are very poor at the minute too many players are not on form...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 3

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...
  14. Saturdays opposition -

    I thought Spurs were looking quite good until the little genius Fabregas started pulling a few strings - I wonder if the result will have them more or less motivated for the FA Cup - The Spurs guy at work thinks Robinson has completely lost it which is encouraging - I think MacCormack can...

    Charity Game This Sunday

    I hear that there is a charity game at Basildon United this Sunday featuring a Basildon ex pro XI and Dave Cusack, Peter Taylor, Bill Garner, Justin Edinburgh, David Crown, Gary Nelson and numerous others are pulling on their boots for a good cause. Kick off is at 1 o'clock.

    The view from Tufnell Park...

    My neighbours will never speak to me again. When I awoke on Wednesday morning to find my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth and an empty bottle of white wine in my bed, I was dimly aware that something incredible might have happened. It took another 30 seconds for the memories to filter back...
  17. Still hasn't sunk in

    I've just got back to Brum after my trip back to the homeland, and I still can't believe what happened last night. I was at the Hall, I've watched the tape of the match, I've seen the highlights and interviews too many times to count, stood in WHSmith reading all the match...
  18. On way home...

    ...well, only just out of Elland Road car park actually.  Oh, the joy of having a wireless network card! Where do I start?  We were unbelievable.  I don't know how the f@ck we lost that and it was quite possibly the most unjust defeat I've seen in nearly 11 years of watching Southend.   Dennis...

    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...

    Slipperduke meets...

    When I caught up with Adrian Clarke in London's trendy Camden, it was raining. "It's raining," he said with a wry smile, as the water pounded against the windows. He glanced outside at the widening pools of water on the pavement, the reflected lights of the traffic turning them into...
