Holsworthy my kind of town.

Like all places has its high and low lights and this post is just my personal view.Highlights-my bungalow is situated within easy access of town centre and its shops, post office sorting office ,2 schools,park,skate park ,leisure centre . Lowlights-transport if need-to access towns farther away due bus timetable and time of wait and journey,long walk to access hospital and health centre -20 minutes average-people are helpful and friendly and fair low crime .

Fashion not my bag,man.

I have never been a slave to fashion or latest tread.I just put on clothes i like and normally wear t-shirt,vest,pants ,joggers ,no socks if hot or mild,jumper and socks if cold.Most brands paid minim to get made-and cost alot.

How do you make a rat laugh? Just tickle it, say scientists

Happy rats love to laugh: Scientists have found that rats ‘enjoy’ being tickled – but only if they were already in a good mood

Associated with the plague and demonised in novels such as George Orwell's 1984, rats don’t have the best of reputations.

But the vilified rodents are known to giggle.

Now scientists have found that rats ‘enjoy’ being tickled – but only if they were already in a good mood.

Researchers at Humboldt University of Berlin identified neurons in rats’ brains linked to ticklishness and laughter and by stimulating them, were able to elicit a chuckle from the furry creatures.

The finding suggests the somatosensory cortex - the brain region where the neurons were located - may play some role in mood.

It was previously thought this brain region is primarily associated with the sense of touch.

The study, published in the journal Science, builds on previous work in which it was discovered tickling rats causes them to laugh at high frequencies that are inaudible to humans.

While tickling is easy to do, how the sensation reaches our brain is unclear.

History of Southend United F.C.

History[edit]

1906–1958[edit]

Chart of table positions of Southend in the League.

Southend United F.C. was formed in 1906 and played in the Southern League until 1920, when they co-founded the Football League's new Third Division; they finished 17th in their first ever season. In 1921, the Third Division was regionalised with Southend United joining the southern section and here they remained until league re-structure in 1958. Southend came close to promotion twice when they finished 3rd in 1932 and 1950, the club's highest league positions until 1991.^[1]

1958–1981[edit]

Southend United joined the new national Third Division in 1958, where they remained until 1966 when they suffered their first ever relegation, into the Fourth Division. The club had to wait six seasons until 1972 to experience the club's first ever promotion as runners-up behind Grimsby Town. In 1976 Southend suffered relegation again before taking another runners-up spot behind Watford in 1978. Another relegation in 1980 was directly followed by one of the most successful seasons in the club's history as they won the Fourth Division Championship in 1981, breaking a series of club records in the process.^[1] Despite success on the pitch and low admission prices, the club's gates were low and condemned as "a bad reflection on the town".^[1]^(p72)

1981–1987[edit]

Many of Southend United's most gifted players were sold due to a financial strain.^[1]^(p74) In June 1983 Anton Johnson, a local butcher who was also chairman of Rotherham United,^[1]^(p74) bought 44.9% of the club from the Rubin brothers.

On his arrival, Morris discovered that he had a squad of only ten players.^[1]^(p121) Bobby Moore was installed as chief executive with Andrew MacHutcheon as chairman. The club were relegated into the Fourth Division in 1984 with Bobby Moore as manager. One of the club's darkest hours saw a season read more
