    How British are you?The alternative citizenship test.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/quiz/2012/jul/02/how-british-are-you-citizenship-test In my case not very it would seem. <You scored 7 out of a possible 15 Go to your local library (if it's still open) and swot up: true citizenship may yet be yours<

    How our Parents/Grandparents coped with the War.

    Here we are it’s DoDtS’s summer saga. Totally non football related, but my attempt to understand how and what our forebears had to endure through the war in a series of extracts from the Southend Standards of the times. Not everybody’s cup of tea but if your not interested then don’t read it...

    England in the Summer (Windies and the Saffers)

    Day 2 just under way in the first test against the Windies, Broad polishing off the Windies for 243 off 89.5. 89 overs and 4 balls were yesterday. Oh, yes, and Broad is on 7-72, on a hattrick for his first ball of the second innnings and on for a 10 wicket haul. England currently 3-0.

    Fooled by Randomness

    If a test for some disease is 95% accurate,and the disease affects one person in a thousand,and you go for a test and it comes back positive,what's the probability that you have the disease? Answers and your reasoning please.

    Sachin Tendulkar

    Tendulkar has at last scored his 100th International century, against Bangladesh. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/15647684 It's a tribute to his longevity in the game, but in the wake of Dravid retiring, I think that Tendulkar will now walk away from the game, and probably like DRavid...

    What Should I Do

    I had my car MOT'd and serviced by VW today. Unfortunately my car failed the MOT because it needs a new rear offside coil spring. VW quoted £188.27 (£68.27 parts and £120.00 labour, for a one hour job) I rang my mechanic who said he could do it for £91.44 saying that it is only a half hour...
  7. Shrew in Peace.

    Hello all, Shrewsbury fan in peace. Was just hoping to get some thoughts on the game this saturday, massive game on our part as our annual poor christmas run saw us pick up 2 points from 9. Our home record has kept us in touching distance of the top 3, we are unbeaten since March at the Meadow...

    Saffers vs Convicts Test Series

    Anyone following this? Extraordinary stuff at Newlands today, Saffers doing an England from 49/1 to 96 all out, now the Aussies are 13/3 (but still over 200 ahead)

  11. Freddy to leave Cov

  12. Benefits of the EU?

    Here's something to cheer you up on a Friday. Our benefit system largely uses a principle known as "right to reside" to determine eligibility to certain benefits. UK citizens have an automatic right to reside, but for foreign nationals it is harder to meet the eligibility criteria. The...

    Lets try to crash The Zone

    Now that may seem daft to a lot of you, but as it is Tuesday and a quiet day on The Zone now seems as good a time as any to try this...As some of you are aware The Chat room has been causing problems on Match days by creating a leak on the server and eventually crashing the Zone. It has now...

    Well, and the Guardian. www.audible.co.uk/guide2 I just downloaded Jon Ronson's Psychopath Test (RRP £11.99). Never listened to an audio book before, so should be fun. Enjoy.

    Tour De France - Mark Cavendish

    Right, I know absolutely nothing about cycling (never even passed my cycling proficiency test at Earls Hall.....) but obviously know of the Tour de France and it being a huge event, and have heard of the likes of Lance Armstrong, Sean Kelly, Eddie Merx etc. I know there are a few of you on here...

    England V India

    So the main series of the summer starts today at Lords. Looks to be a pretty well balanced contest and I think we can win but will need a bit of luck with the tosses and overhead conditions. Not going to be the nicest weather for the first test and India are slow starters so we need to...

    Official Match Thread Raith Rovers v Southend (1pm K.O.)

    So after yesterday's disappointing defeat to Dundee, we now face Raith Rovers in the 3rd/4th place play-off. Which will bring our participation in Scotland to a close. Raith finished 2nd in Divison One last year, 10 points behind Champions Dunfermline. So they will provide another stern test...

    Driving Instructors - yes I know, again!

    Hello, me again, has anyone come across Drive2Us.com and used them for driving lessons? I've just come across them on the internet and they are charging £16ph, which is bloody cheap. I've just completed a disastrous 5 lesson stint with Red Driving School, who I would not recommend at all as the...

    County Cricket Tubby XI

    Currently watching the Glamorgan vs Essex game on sky, and I must of picked up the fattest pro currently on the county circuit. Step forward or perhaps roll forward - Mark Cosgrove, Glamorgan's T20 Overseas player. Dropped apparently by his state side back in 2005 for being overweight. What...
