Vintage buses rock! I want a Guy Arab Mk II in Provincial (Fareham & Gosport) livery, preferably with a No 2 route indicator. Failing that, an old RM would do! I used to spend a lot of time in the Preserved Transport Depot in Portsmouth .
Also, reading, music, blogging, endlessly surfing the net, driving, steam train visiting, industrial buildings - mills, pumping stations etc, and old cars and paddle steamers. Basically I like old stuff and stuff that goes - if something fits both those, even better I've just started to get into photography a bit more.
Oh yes, real ale too! |

Sky juice. | ||||||

What's your best break MM? I got 42 once. I play my mate twice a week and he's had a bad night if he doesn't get at least 3 breaks over 50. 
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Roughly 32... it's the hardest sport to be good at in the world. You either have it, or you don't! 42 is good! I don't play regularly anymore... about a handful of times a year when I get time 
|
||||||
| mc_mc |
My 42 break was the most absolutely luckiest visit to the table ever with the balls placed just perfectly. I'm usually very happy with anything over 20, I got three breaks over twenty in March out of approx. 70 frames played. |

Sheer class. In my younger days (mid '50s) we used to stay with my aunt in Fareham. Had many happy trips to Gosport on Provincial Guys and AECs.
Can't fault that one either
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Nice one, I think its a sport that you either have the eye for or are totally useless
How do you think the World championship will go this year? Anyone could win it but i'll be supporting Parrott and Davis (who meet in the first round )seeing as Jimmy didn't make it 
|
||||||
| mc_mc |
It'll be some Chinaman no one's heard of.
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Aye 
|
||||||
| Chris |
Sullivan unless he plays like an idiot. He is by far the best when he plays well, but very inconsistent. | ||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Aye best natural talent! Although he is a bit of a troubled soul
|
||||||
| James |
Who is? Neil Sullivan that goalie? | ||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Ronnie O'sullivan Neil? Oh god he must be like 42?
|
||||||
| James |
No idea. He's good though. He won us the cup. | ||||||
| James |
No idea. He's good though. He won us the cup. | ||||||
| James |
And they say goalkeepers never reach their best until they are about 35+. | ||||||
| Mamodman123 |
No, around 32 is the peak! You get some exceptions like Seaman, but reactions start to go... 40+ they are gone!. They seem to lose the ability to judge a cross. |
||||||
| James |
Sullivan is still good though mate, good for our lower league anyway.
I saw Peter Schmeichel's last ever game
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Aye! He retired at Man City didn't he? |
||||||
| James |
Yeah. I saw it at Anfield. I was there 
1-2 Man City. Dudek (my fave player for Liverpool LOL) got a groin injury in the last minute and a penalty against him. |
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Luckily Dudeks best game was the champions league final. The rest of the time he had teflon gloves
|
||||||
| MTA |
Lads, there is a designated football thread
|
||||||
| James |
Yeah I know there is MTA.
Anyway as we was saying MM, Dudek ain't THAT bad 
|
||||||
| SPOKESMAN |
MTA off topic in an off topic thread - Im confused.
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
ITs an interest MTA | ||||||
| Chris |
This is a thread of other interests.
If there was a thread of "no interest in the least" I would put football near the top. Football = 
|
||||||
| James |
If you ain't interested, don't reply
|
||||||
| Chris |
But it is an interest of mine... pointing out how boring football is.

FA cup this weekend!!!
|
||||||
| Chris |
Is it? I wouldn't know. |
||||||
| SPOKESMAN |
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Watford Man utd chelsea Blackburn hmmm Man U Chelsea final it is at the new wembly aswell...hmmmmm FIX! |
||||||
| SPOKESMAN |
Id prefer Watford vs. Blackburn.
|
||||||
| Chris |
Only one thing for certain. There will be more foreigners willing the FA cup than Brits. | ||||||
| Mamodman123 |
Aye! But it wouldn't go down well with the FA! Watford only have 10 fans, and Blackburn about 8 or 9
|
||||||
| SPOKESMAN |
What about Palace . . . . 
|
||||||
| Mamodman123 |
A fair amount for a small London club Mike
We're bigger than Watford! and Blackburn have a very very small fanbase
|
||||||
| SPOKESMAN |
OK then . . . . .
