I prefer to use a sight, preferably the PSO-1 with individual SPTA set mounted on a 7.62-mm SVD Dragunov. Accuracy with stopping power at maximum range.

Did you know that the word "martyr" comes from the Greek word "martus" which signifies a witness who testifies to a fact of which he has knowledge from personal observation. Ironic, huh?!

No doubt you will find 3 dozen examples, provide links to them on here and prove me wrong, which just about proves my theories right. The theories being that a) unless it's Mike's view it must be a wrong view b) Mike has to have the last say.

Theory a) is in the balance. Theory b) is almost certain to be proved right.

Indeed. I didn't know what Scriv wanted me to do? Prostrate myself at his feet for the podcast initiative or something?!

s pathetic and unjustified. Scriv has come on here many times and dealt with comments and criticisms fairly. Where are the quotes to justify that allegation?

well read Americans and Scrivs comments and attitude on this thread for starters Pram ,if I had the time I could name some instances in the past but all this tilttle tattle deflects from the real points that I made at the start which were not only about this weeks ticketing but IMHO the poor service supporters are recieving in some aspects of the "matchday experience" . Maybe you feel the service is good enough , I for one dont and thought this would be a good place to find out if I am alone

 

[Prodigal Son]

I don't think Podcast James is in the little circle of friends. He contributes, watches matches, goes home (to London) end of.

 

[prittlewellshrimper]

No nor do I !! Never said he was , did I ? Dont even know who he is and have no interest in and little idea what a Podcast is .

Going back to the 'farce' on saturday. Yes, I ended up in three different queues to collect my tickets, partly my fault as I said I would arrive around 1pm and It urned up after 2pm. The lady in the hut by the East stand did as good a job as she could in the circumstances, when I gave my name she actually remembered seing my tickets (I do have an unusual surname). Ok so I and my two kids got in too late to see the pre-match entertainment, but we all enjoyed the game and it cost me £12 instead of the usual £32.50.

At least the club is making an effort, no they are not perfect, but then neither are some of the to$$ers who spout their 'wit' from a far.

Yes Mr. Shrimper that is indeed an unusual surname , can I ask were you born with it or did you change it?? also how far away do you mean by to$$ers from afar ??

 

[Colchester Shrimper]

Yep, I can confirm that a) my surname is unusual and b) I was born with it.

Furthermore, just to clear up any misunderstanding, 'Col******r Shrimper' is not my real name, otherwise I would have had it changed.

Very smugly!

Personally I think its time to draw this s%&t boring chat to an end.

I think Scriv and Co have done a super job brining more information to the blues. The programme has got 100% better , new club magazine sounds good and basically any additional Blues news ( podcast ) is good by me.

I dont personally care if we were 1st of 92nd to produce a podcast I have never even heard of it before we did it and now I really enjoy it.

 

[Xàbia Shrimper]

Just about everyone enjoyed the podcast - even me when I could finally listen to it - so WHY have Scriv and James pulled the plug because of ONE person?! It simply doesn't make any sense at all ...

[Prodigal Son]

XS/Mike, the bit I can't understand is that if Spain is so good why do you spend so much time on here on a wind up? The stats suggest you make an average of around 32 posts a day and they are never exactly two words replies.

Do you get spurred on by booze or suffer from OCD like me?

And to answer everyone on the Podcast I think James has gone on holiday and I guedd Dave does'nt have time/resources to do it on his own.

Your still proving me right on point b)

I think I agree with Dave. Time to (pod)cast a line in other directions and close this thread methinks.

Any volunteers yet for the FAQ sticky thread or is my idea too sensible ?

The use of a PC is part of my job here in Spain so I tend to sit here in my naya overlooking the orange groves down to the sea banging away at the keyboard; I could think of no better place!

So James might have gone on holiday?! Might explain Scriv's eagerness to lay the blame for not doing a podcast on me. Why doesn't he just tell the truth ... ?!
