England is a catholic country with a bad memory

Lent is very important of course, but I think the British struggle with the concept of consuming less and giving something up. Can't do without the slop for a few weeks!

It'll be May 2nd. Written in the stars.

When do we play Blackburn and Oxford at home? Oh. Oh, right.

With my dad used to park at a car park near to de Montford uni I think. I used to call it the 'Carl Heggs carpark' because I thought the guy running it looked like Carl Heggs. My Dad used to say it looked nothing like him. This went on for a couple of years. Became a running family joke. One time we rocked up to park and the guy wasn't there, somebody else was. First time ever I think. We asked where the guy was and his mate said, "he's gone to watch his brother play football"...

🦊 What is a “happy clapper” on FoxesTalk? 1️⃣ A long‑standing insult for over‑positive fans One FoxesTalk member responds to someone complaining about the term “happy clapper” by clarifying that the phrase has been used “for decades” and is usually “used as an insult to fans who object to booing their own players.” This definition comes directly from debate within a match thread, where users argue about the meaning and relevance of the phrase. 2️⃣ Fans who are relentlessly positive, no matter what Another user in a Twitter‑related thread reinforces this idea: “Aren’t happy clappers meant to be fans who are always positive and never have a bad word to say about their club?” [collection....vam.ac.uk] This aligns with the common forum usage: supporters who refuse to criticise the club, players, owners, or decisions—no matter how poor things are. 3️⃣ Often contrasted with critical or negative fans On FoxesTalk, the term is typically used pejoratively, to contrast: “Happy clappers” — too positive, too forgiving “Moaners / doomers” — too negative, overly critical The phrase appears repeatedly in arguments where users accuse each other of being too soft or too harsh about the team's performances. 4️⃣ Also used sarcastically or humorously Some posters — including grobyfox1990 — use it jokingly when describing predictable or formulaic fan reactions online: “I prefer happy clapper content… I’m in a happy clapper death hole.”

The Mandela Effect isn't just 'having a bad memory'

I need to see a screenshot of a baby squad member and ukip councillor posting on Facebook that respect is very important in Thai culture. I need this in my life.

I have to say I find happy clapper discourse incredibly confusing. I thought they were generally seen as being an older, M&S wrap eating demographic now I'm hearing they're Labour voters. These happy clappers do seem like a very contradictory and interesting group quite unlike others, we must study them.

KPFC happy clappers are definitely Tories from the shire, let's be honest
