    Updated pics of OBL

    ...no, not Old Blue Lady, but Osama bin Laden. Is it me, or does the FBI (who created the above pic) really not like Jon Stewart of the Daily Show? Those neocons are still controlling the organs of state in the US of A, eh Rusty? ;)

    Best Sequence of Number One Singles?

    I recently downloaded a great music collection containing every UK number one single from 1952-2007. Obviously, there's copious amounts of crap in there, but I was stunned to find some truly incredible sequences of classic singles that hit the top spot in succession. These were my two favourite...

    York Road market

    I spent a couple of hours strolling around Southend on Saturday with my son and was amazed to see York Road market has shut down. Can anyone tell me when this happened?

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Tranmere Rovers 2-0 Southend United

    No-one bothered? Thought I'd start it as I'm likely first one up this morning - after just an hour and a half's sleep and getting in at 2.40! Huge disappointment, the team that played Friday was just completely absent for the first half, and some of them for the second too. It was like...

    Question Questions for the consortium

    Thought we could gather some questions that would be useful to ask the consortium about their intentions. Not that they will get asked or answered, but just a gathering of thoughts/concerns etc. To start the ball rolling: If you are just buying the club for £1 with no assets, what are you...

    Cost cutting measures

    Ok, so let's assume we are in administration, and, in these serious times, Let's have your best (legal or Illegal) cost cutting measures just for fun! Please NOT getting rid of the Blue belles. But any other funny, serious or downright lucrative suggestions welcome. Some, any or none of the...

    A Big Cheer For Little Clubs

    Bit of a new one this, it's for the Irish Examiner's football supplement, currently rolling off the presses as I type. Bit more wordy than the usual fare and with more Anglo-centric references. Anyway, give it a go and let me know what you think, it helps to have feedback with new stuff... If...

    Not better than what we have...

    Tilson rolling this old line out again for the released reserves. Obviously he knows more than any of us, but find that an odd statement when Khano Smith has played internationally and in a bigger league than the English league 1 - and that doesnt make him 'better' than Johnny Herd? He could...

    Slipper of the Yard

    Wonderful article here by one of my favourite journalists/commentators, Mark Steyn: “He was always affable and very much a gentle giant,” said Bruce Reynolds. “He was one of the old school,” agreed one of Mr Reynolds’ colleagues. Gentlemen publishers? Art dealers? Yes, Mr Reynolds has a...

  14. Question Francis Laurent

    Was strapped up and stretchered off with what looked a serious injury. Terrible tackle that lead to it, and straight away he looked in serious pain on the floor, rolling, screaming etc. It looked like a leg break at first. Anyway, does anyone know anymore about it?

    Players signed from rivals

    We now have everything we have all been clamouring for... a tall centre half and a full back. However, in some people's eyes this is a problem because they are both Colchester players. So, with our main rivals being Colchester, Orient and West Ham, just how much does it matter where our...

    Daydream Believer

    Hello, good people of ShrimperZone. Just had a bit of a thought while having a swim this morning, having contemplated the conclusion of the 'In A Broken Dream' pop novel that many of you contributed to in different ways. My thought was this... if you do any writing, then it's like a daydream...

  17. The I Phone and Technology

    I like to think of myself as a young pup at 23. Even since the 90s there has been a massive development in technology from the Sega Saturn and Mega Drive to X Box and Playstation and Wii. Brick like mobile phones with children lucky to have one and perhaps parents well off to almost all...

    well worth £26 quid... from the creators of The Wire, an excellent mini-series focussing on a Rolling Stone writer spending time with the Marines in Iraq. Absolutely superb! http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/7871279/Generation-Kill/Product.html
