Two frustrating (rain effected) results In the last two days...

Couldn't believe yesterday, the rain was heavier at the end of the fifth over, and we were ahead on DL, Glamorgan hit a boundary to go ahead on DL (whilst the rain had eased off) next thing the umpires take the teams off

Because Somerset will now fail to qualify or empty words from both parties?

 

Your opinion or 'in the know'?

My opinion based on things people connected with SCCC have said to me

But he will be back for the knock-out games and finals day!

No he won't - don't believe all the PR bullshit from Taunton

And now it's announced Gayle won't be playing Saturday against Glamorgan due to exertions over the past 12 months!!!

Of course nothing to do with the fact he has been on the piss for the past week and spent the past 24 hours out with KP

Strange how he is fit for tomorrow night but not for Saturday

Ohh Lancy Lancy...

Whose Lance?  

Blimey you guys even make Somerset look half decent !

Gutted for him as always a top bloke off of the pitch.

Like said above, it was a freak accident - remember when it happened it seemed pretty inocuous.

Like when Mark Boucher was caught with the bail, seemed nothing in it at the time, but sadly cost the careers of two great players!

Anyway on to tonight, anyone going?

Will be with the noisy bunch in our usual space in front of the electric scoreboard

Sadly missed today as in IOW, but can't wait to get down Taunton Friday

Need to win, after tonight PNE will have 2 GIH on us - that could give them a real sniff if we don't win tonight

Pull further away and pyschologically it will be massive on the others

I don't see how performances by a completely different set of players under a different manager from earlier years has any bearing on how well they would do in the play offs this year.

Would expect it to make the supporters more tense and in turn would affect how they support their side during the game. This in turns will rub off onto the players

It's Hell to be Old  

OLD people have problems that you haven't even considered yet!  

An 85-year-old man was requested by his Doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. 

The doctor gave the man a  jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.'  

The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the  jar, 

which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.  

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this--first I tried 

with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing..  

'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with 

her right hand, then with her left, still nothing.  

She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in,

then with her teeth out, still  nothing.  

She even called up Arleen, the lady next door 

and she tried too, first with both hands, then an 

armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.' 

The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbour?'    

The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get the jar open.'

A man goes into an upmarket restaurant consults the menu and orders Aylesbury Duck. The chef had run out of these so sends out an ordinary duck instead. The customer picks the duck up, looks at its backside and says to the waiter, "This is not an Aylesbury Duck. Take it back!" The chef rearranges it on the plate pours on some more gravy and sends the plate back. The customer picks the duck up, looks at its backside and says to the waiter, "This is not an Aylesbury Duck. Take it back!" This happens several times. The chef finally concedes defeat, goes to the Cash and Carry, buys an Aylesbury Duck and sends it out to the aforementioned customer who once again looks at the ducks backside. When he has finished his meal he says to the waiter, "It took time to get there,  but in the end it was an excellent dinner. Ask the chef to come out. I would like to congratulate him." The  customer says to the chef, " You had one or two false starts but when you eventually got there it was an excellent meal. Most enjoyable. By the way, where do you come from?"  The chef dropped his trousers, bent over and said, "You tell me!"  

TWO OLD  MEN FEEL THEY ARE CLOSE TO THEIR LAST DAYS AND  DECIDE TO HAVE A LAST NIGHT ON THE TOWN.

AFTER A  FEW DRINKS, THEY END UP AT THE LOCAL BROTHEL  THE MADAM TAKES ONE LOOK AT THE TWO OLD GEEZERS AND  WHISPERS TO HER

MANAGER, 'GO UP TO THE FIRST TWO  BEDROOMS AND PUT AN INFLATED DOLL IN EACH BED.

THESE TWO ARE SO OLD AND DRUNK, I'M NOT WASTING TWO OF  MY GIRLS ON THEM.

THEY WON'T KNOW THE  DIFFERENCE.'

THE  MANAGER DOES AS HE IS TOLD AND THE TWO OLD MEN GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE

CARE OF THEIR BUSINESS. 

AS THEY ARE WALKING HOME THE FIRST MAN  SAYS,YOU  KNOW, I THINK MY GIRL WAS DEAD!'

'DEAD?'  SAYS HIS FRIEND, 'WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?'

WELL, SHE NEVER MOVED OR MADE A SOUND ALL THE TIME I WAS LOVING HER.

HIS  FRIEND SAYS, 'COULD BE WORSE I THINK MINE WAS A  WITCH.' 'A WITCH  ??. . WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY  THAT?'

'WELL, I  WAS MAKING LOVE TO HER, KISSING HER ON THE NECK,  AND I GAVE HER A LITTLE BITE, THEN SHE FARTED AND FLEW OUT THE WINDOW..... TOOK MY TEETH WITH HER!

These people need "stupid" signs!

Number One Idiot:

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control centre. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to 
mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.

Here's your sign, lady. Wear it with pride.

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Number Two Idiot:

Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon that 
activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing.

 Here's your sign guys. Don't get it wet, the paint might run.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Number Three Idiot

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, "Put all your muny in this bag". While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America  and crossed the street to the 
Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbour, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America 
deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.  Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left.  He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Number Four Idiot:

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car.  Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.  He immediately mailed in his $40.

Wise guy ... But you still get a sign.

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Number Five Idiot:

A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21". The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

This guy definitely needs a sign

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Idiot Number Six:

 A pair of robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!".  When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

 This guy doesn't even deserve a sign.

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Idiot Number Seven: 

Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the 
window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass.  The whole event was caught on videotape.

 Yep, here's your sign. 

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Idiot Number Eight:

 I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local Township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore".

For those who didn't get tickets a serious question should be asked why there are so many unused seats in the away section today

Flint was outstanding for the third league game in a row and is stepping up to the mark already this season.

I thought we edged the first half last night but seemed to be short of ideas in the second half.

Orient are no mugs and maybe a point against a side of their quality should not be deemed a bad thing?

Seemed a few tired legs on the pitch, and was surprised how late we made the changes, but in all honesty Orient never really looked liked scoring last night, so maybe it was the safer option to not make any changes too early.

All in all we have to be happy with 7 points from 3 games, keep that up all season and we will be up next season, added bonus of a clean sheet which is something to build on - now onto Rochdale for another 3 points

Just put my Hoover on ebay , well it was only collecting dust anyway.

Guess you've been reading the papers today !

 

I've not lived in a city for quite a few years

To me this has gained more profile in the past few years - maybe Leytonstone may not be so accomodating today?

Nobody has mentioned Pizza Express !

I'm not threatening you with anything. I'm just pointing out that a number of Rovers fans have found themselves in an inconvenient position when making allegations they couldn't substantiate, even when doing so on a theoretically anonymous forum. I doubt that Geoff Dunford reads this forum anyway.

Perhaps we will find out the truth now.....

If there are libelous comments in this thread am sure going on the previous track record you talk about Mr D will soon be in touch?

But if he doesn't ?????

Redfred, your lot have been saying it for years. But just remember

'YOU 'LL NEVER GET RID OF THE GAS.

Unless someone lights a match !

Look what happened last time someone tried that !

I remember hearing all this noise when you was going to redevelop the Memorial Ground, everything was all set to go ahead, contracts had been signed to move to Cheltenham, season tickets even went on sale and the ground was never touched.

Blimey I had forgotten about that fiasco!

I was flying in a group of about 8 Go Ahead Eagles fan's on the Sat, for the game on the Friday, so this works out better.

What are you on about ?
