    Fresh from capturing the signatures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, Florentino Perez is now bent on global domination, according to reports in Spanish football newspaper, AS. It has been claimed that the Real Madrid President is rapidly drawing up plans to shift his club's kick-off times from...

    Southend festival of the air

    Did anyone go? I thought there was a poor collection of planes (with a few exceptions) and with the exclusion of the Army/Navy/Air force there were far too many stalls selling tat. A good advert for the towns tattoo artists and off licences though.

    Christmas lights and crap celebs

    For me, the really special thing about the run up to Christmas is hearing of which Z list celebrities smallish towns manage to get to turn on the Christmas lights. I read in this week's Uxbridge Gazette (a publication that makes the Evening Echo look like a contender for Newspaper of the Year)...

    Question English City or Town you would least like to live in.

    Was watching the Sunderland vs Newcastle game with my mates up in Bristol yesterday. It suddenly dawned on me that I would hate to live in either of those towns. A lot of people say that Newcastle has got better but the one time I have been there is seemed like a toliet. Sunderland again I have...

    A Southend statistic of note!

    For any fellow geeks who are interested, I was browsing Wikipedia earlier (as you do), and found out that population wise, Southend is now the 8th largest town in England, and the 30th biggest when counted amongst all other cities, with a population of 160,257. That is significantly higher...

    According to the BBC site, the administrators at AFC Bournemouth are about to close the club for good. Sad enough to see a club go to he wall, but it raises a couple of points for you all to discuss. 1) Football, no matter how emotive, is a business, and therefore, needs to be run as such...

    Once again it seems that the Minority will outweigh the Majority.

    Essex or London

    It's interesting peoples different views of towns that were traditionally part of the county of Essex - typically within the boundary of the M25- such as Romford, Barking, Ilford etc, which are, legally, not part of Essex at all these days and are London boroughs. Do you think of these areas...

  17. Stupid decisions

    Many moons ago, so long in fact it feels like another lifetime, I went to Dover to see The Blues in a preseason friendly. Incidentally we won 1-0 and then the towns chippy gave the team food poisoning which impeded our start to the season. The ground was basically a park and during the match the...
