Neither can I, stuff of nightmares but we`re not twentysomething footballers with great wads of disposable income.

Personally, a nice barn conversion in Epping Forest or up towards Saffron Walden would be nice! 

very true,i fully understand why he would go,if the fig top ckub offers are true bournemouth would surely have to offer him a better deal because as things stand,looks like they will need him next season in the prem.

So you reckon a player is likely to turn down multiplying his salary many times over (he would have been signed on a relative low wage for the prem), plus the recognition and likely affect on his career playing for a prem mid to top club rather than a yo - yo one, as Bournemouth is a nice place

depends which club it is doesnt it, norwich,newcastle,burnley,,watford and leeds,would make sense to hang on.  personally cant see the appeal of living in london,  he might not fancy it either

Let's hope so . A few million would be a huge help right now. If it is West Ham then Kelly might want it too.

wouldnt have thought a london club would be too desirable at the moment,bournemouth is  quite a nice place to live and Kelly has a very good chance of being back in the prem next season. could see him hanging on for 6 months

Mum used haze this Christmas. She's done it a few times. Rather delightful. I'd rather drink gold than haze so it's not totally wasted. 

for a nasty minute i had visions of her spraying air freshener on it but i think im confusing myself with glade? easy done now im getting old

Well, I've just tasted the ham. It'll be resting in tin foil for another 45 mins... just because.

However, I couldn't resist having a little chunk. Sensational. The Thatcher's cuts through but doesn't overpower the ham. A stunning success.

Next time I'll find a smaller pot which means less Thatcher's needed!

why not just get a bigger lump of ham?

mrs nearly in tears friday night as i couldnt get heroes or roses. budgens to the rescue in injury time,two tubs of roses on the table,no heroes about.  

which is your favourite of the big four, mine in favourite order are

1, heroes

2, roses

3, celebrations

4 and never buy,quality street. cant get my nose past them,the wrappers in the  tub stink 

can players be made redundant or laid off if clubs cant afford their wages?

Joyeux Noël.

Happy Christmas .

 I hope you all have a fantastic day. 
On this day spare a thought for those  less fortunate than yourselves and go on to the Basement Rovers thread. 
I have cosy toes in my mohair socks, anyone know what a ‘ Mo ‘ looks like? , and brand new slippers. 
Mrs Isewater was thrilled to bits with the new ironing board cover I bought for her or at least I think she was as she hasn’t said a word since she opened the package, bless her. 
Thank you all for the moments shared on this wonderful forum of ours , particularly a big big thank you to the mods who keep it all together.

years ago,son gave my mrs a washing up bowl,she was pleased with that, following year i gave her several marigold gloves to protect her hands washing up. still havent heard the last of that at least 10 years since

It was national robin day on Tuesday. Seeing this picture of a Robin kicking a Blue Tit off a bird table, I thought might inspire us to suggest some appropriate captions:

Happy Christmas and "Mind the gap"!

Even a modest stadium of say 20,000 would cost at least £50m. How are the developers going to recoup that money? They'd have to charge a hefty rent to cover the outlay and interest on such a figure. Not sure what the normal return figure and period is for commercial deals, I believe they'd be looking at paying off the build costs in less than 50 years, That's £1m per year plus interest which would be charged to their tenants.

The stadium outlets would be in their name and any other events staged there, so Rovers would be looking at matchday income only. The words white elephant spring to mind.

On another point, How many dwellings could they fit on 11 acres, depending on density/height, I'd wager several hundred. And as we're still being told we have a housing crisis in Bristol, wouldn't it be more profitable to build housing. The site at Totterdown bridge is about one third of the fruit market, at a guess, they're building 150 dwellings there. So if there were say 400 dwellings, 25% affordable and 300 at £200k that's £60m, pocketed straight away less development costs. This is where my fears of behind the scenes negotiations are taking place with Marvin's Rovers supporting deputy Mayor to give the developers a profit from the outset. I expect there's big wedges of council owned land in the form of riverside warehousing and council yards, being lined up to be transferred to the developing company.

you are of course absolutely right in the real world but this is that lot,  how much for a big new go outdoors centre wth a roll of fake grass laid in the existing tarmac? 

blatantly obvious a developeris going to build a budget ground,rent to cover all costs and initial outlay,let the wallys pay all that off for him while he obtains planning for x amount of houses then turf them out to build them
