  1. I think the past that British right wingers lament the passing of mostly did exist, it's just they are not particularly honest about why that's gone away, or how and to what extent we can get it back.
  2. Looking forward to someone saying Challinor "knows the club" because of the 2000 League cup final
  3. He's going to rename the month of April after his mum isn't he
  4. We were massive in the 90s - even had a LCFC shirt on the Jarvis Cocker cardboard cut out on TFI Friday.
  5. Er, Pearson was the manager when we won the third division no?
  6. People praising Fryatt, Kingy taking over, nostalgia for Pearson.... really getting ready for the third division eh.
  7. It's also a bit messy because there are probably tens of thousands of EU citizens that were settled in the UK and had kids and then left, and those kids are technically British citizens and now need a UK passport to come for a weekend in Liverpool...
  8. Sure I wasn't saying you're silly, but our wonderful government. It's such a ****ing pain in the arse. I thought my daughter qualified for British citizenship through descent, not that she was automatically one. Thanks for the link. This part interests me which I assume is for dual nationals: The Home Office confirms: “If you have a valid passport for a nationality that can get an ETA, you can use it to travel to the UK without an ETA or a certificate of entitlement.” But if you don't have a UK passport or certificate of entitlement how do you prove you're a UK citizen Jesus... Having said all that I understand this won't be enforced before Feb 25th...
  9. He was a Peter Taylor signing that was actually good, so the guy is clearly special.
  10. The more I think of this the sillier it is. Let's say an Aussie (Bruce), 50 years old, lived in Oz all his life and with an Oz passport, wants to come to London for a week. His Dad, long since deceased, was born in Manchester, so Bruce is technically a dual Oz/British citizen but didn't need a pommie passport. Are you saying he now needs one to enter? For a start, how are border forces going to know he's a British citizen when he walks up to the kiosk? I don't really see how this is practical or feasible.
  11. I don't think Farage is that interested in actually winning the election. Wouldn't be good for the grift.
  12. Apes are magnificent creatures?
  13. Does that make them friendlier to us then?
  14. Thanks, that's how I understood it. Pain in the arse.
  15. When I'm walking through a field in gloucestershire and step on something warm and brown
  16. You're right about the AR theme. I'm just imagining it now and a wave of melancholy is coming over me
  17. I was thinking this the other day. I'm not even working at the moment and Sunday evening still kills me...
  18. Anybody on here au fait with the new UK immigration/passport rules for dual nationals? My daughter is obviously automatically eligible for British citizenship as my kid, but doesn't have a UK passport as she lives abroad and we thought she could for now just come back for her six months as an EU citizen. However now I'm reading that from 26/02 British 'dual nationals' must present a UK passport at the border. On the gov website on 'check if you are a British national' obviously children of Brits are listed as automatically Brit citizens. This all seems a little absurd to me especially as she's a baby and if she flies with her Mum only who tf is going to know she's a UK citizen anyway?! I realise it's probably better to email embassies etc but I thought with our wealth of foxes fans in other countries there might be someone who has recent experience or who has also been researching it. I know for example there are lots of Aussies who are technically Brit citizens through parentage but don't have the passport, and are now wondering whether they need to get one to travel to the UK post 26/02. Of course none of this mattered til Jan 2021, but hey ho....
  19. Looked this up after reading your post and... wtf is this insanity? Nearly puked just looking at still photos.
  20. Is Kingy a happy-clapper KPFC flask of coffee kind of player? Just because my Mum (who is very much pro-flask, pro-M&S wrap) just text me with "what would we do without Andy King" and now I'm worried that supporting him will damage my street cred.
  21. I find it really interesting how people will attach significance to the most mundane things as if they say something important about wider society or a specific group. Like 'latte drinkers from London' but ever more niche and bizarre. "I saw someone buying an LCFC mug for their 78 year old uncle who lives in Australia which really tells you why this club is in decline." "Your Sarahs and Emilys from Richmond driving Nissan Versas with their husbands drinking pints of London Pride and holidaying in Puglia and enjoying the films of Greta Gerwig and who ride on the District Line wearing sunspel jumpers are exactly what's wrong with this country". Is this a new social media thing or has it always been a part of English culture, like "Daily Telegraph readers think...."
  22. If we'd finished let's say 4th in 2016, and lost to Utd in the 1/4 final in 2021, we'd still be where we are now because the management structure would be the same. So yeah obviously better to have won something and ****ed up than not.
  23. I expect even Ayew would score a few in league 1. Or then again maybe not.
