  1. Tilly on Look East

    A short report and interview with Tilly this morning who sounded very upbeat. Seems to think the hearing today will go well and is aware that we are suffering short term pain for long term gain. Didn't sound like a man ready to chuck the towel in. Feels very confident about the future.

    A Pig 36 Hours

    We all get them, we all have those days when you wish you could turn back the clock and stay in bed but where would be the fun in that. I knew it was coming because I had prior warning that there was no cover for sunday night and I had already been asked to help out. Not a major problem, I...
  3. Why I Own A Green And Gold Scarf...

    I’m not a Manchester United fan. When Freddy Eastwood dispatched a venomous 25-yard free kick past Tomasz Kuszczack in the Carling Cup, I was as ecstatic as every other Southend supporter crammed into Roots Hall. I do, however, own a green and gold scarf. Supporters are funny groups of people...

    LOST: The Final Chapter

    The sixth and final season of 'Lost' premieres on Sky One tomorrow night, and your humble entertainment correspondent R Shackleford esq was lucky enough to be invited to an advance screening. (Alright, I downloaded it from EZTV after the Tuesday premiere in the US). I became a huge fan of the...

    Blair: Gaza's great betrayer

    It's more than a year since Israel launched its immoral attack on Gaza and Palestinians are still living on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. So what has Tony Blair done to further peace in the region? Virtually nothing, argues the historian Avi Shlaim Comments (98) Buzz up! Digg it Avi...

    Blow Me, Duckface. I'm Sick of Hicks

    Is it nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them? A question posed 500 years ago by Hamlet in Denmark was emphatically answered this weekend by club director Tom Hicks Jnr in Liverpool. It seems...
  8. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 2 (2005-2009)

    1st April 2005: Southend United 2 – 0 Bristol Rovers (League Two) The second half of the decade began with our beloved Shrimpers surging up the league on the back of a series of virtuoso performances from new signing Freddy Eastwood. From the second week of January we went on a long unbeaten run...

    Blocked ear

    Chaps. I am currently suffering badly with a blocked ear. It feels like a build up of wax. I am going away for the weekend so could do with some home methods to relieve me of this pain and build up in my ear. There isn't enough time to get an appointment at the docs, so homebased remedies only...
  10. Powercuts

    Anybody else having them? Looking out of my window, I can see huge areas of Rochford are suffering from a complete black out, half my street is without power but, touch wood, I'm only recieving intermittent black-outs at the moment. If they disturb FlashForward for me later, I will not be happy.
  11. What Becomes of the Broke and Shafted

    Someone great once said that Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more than that. Which would explain the pain felt by those when their football club is ripped away from them. As a Southend United supporter, I've had the good grace of never witnessing non-league football and...
  12. Trescothick Suffers Groundhog Day Again

    The news that Marcus Trescothick failed to overcome his demons to compete properly in the Champions League Twenty20 Trophy is desperately sad, but all the more tragic is how predictable this was. Trescothick is essential to any hopes of success Somerset harboured this Summer and went to great...
  13. Man flu

    right, i've been suffering from the mother of all colds for about a week, dragged myself to work and tomorrow I'm presenting to about 50 doctors so enough is enough, I need to get it sorted, I don't want to bail at this late stage. Even though I work in evidence based medicine, I'd happily...
  14. Setting up a charity website

    Last week three of my colleagues in the London area were tragically hurt in an accident. Two of them were so badly burnt and have undergone operations and skin graphs whilst the other was less badly burnt but is suffering mentally. Now I would like to start a charity website along the lines of...

    Howard Southwood

    Is he right? WAS very surprised to read in Echosport (July 10) Andy Thorne’s (who he?)comments about former Blues supremo Vic Jobson. To tie Jobson in with Anton Johnson was grossly unfair and, although he was an outspoken and controversial figure at times, he still presided over one of the...
  16. Random Unplanned Nights Out

    Last night I went out for a meal with some mates of mine, kind of to celebrate the fact we'd all graduated and kind of just an excuse to have a few. I ended up walking in to my front door at 5:30am this morning, having consumed a stupid amount of alcohol and I am now suffering. Hangover aside...

    New Season - Hopes and Expectations

    This season for me is all about survival in OD, going to be up against it but hopefully we can hold our own and even if we come 5th or 6th, I’d fancy our chances in a play off with a III team as long as my morale isn’t shot to pieces. FC will be tough but if we can field a strong team in every...

    Nice joke

    Some random woman stopped me in the streettoday and started telling me a joke. It had all the ingredients of a good joke: child abuse, incestual rape, tears and suffering; but I didn't understand the punchline. Something about £2 a month?

    Similarities

    A last minute goal at Stamford Bridge giving the away side a 1-1 draw meant that, as we know, Southend and Barcelona are as good as each other. Chelsea suffering last minute disappointment in a cup tie, sounds familiar. :)

    Ron's Blog 6/5/09

    Haven't seen this anywhere else yet...... Chairman's Blog What a good day Saturday was and with nothing to play for I thought that the team performed well and remained committed to the cause right to the end. It was also a day to celebrate the success of the Club’s youth policy which, I...
