This thread doesn't get any better, does it?

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff
Parafox replied to davieG's topic in General Chat
Oh, the memories... The Scot's guy that owned the place was a ruthless character and would sack any DJ if customer levels dipped. I managed 18 months and was the longest serving DJ at the time! He was also the only person I have ever know personally that owned a Rolls Royce. I met Wallington, Worthington, (ladies man), Weller, the Birch (really funny guy), and bizarrely, Englebert Humperdinck, during my time there. -
We have a very good friend who is a Christian and believes that anyone who isn't baptised will be barred from getting into Heaven and will remain in Purgatory for all time. Personally, I don't believe in either place but those that do can come across as a bit "fanatical". She's not a pushy "bible-basher" but, I just find the idea a bit odd if God is all forgiving.

The old boy leaving the M69 to join the M1 NB travelling at 40mph. He moved into lane 2 on the M1 shortly after joining. He remained at 40mph in lane 2 and I had to undertake as I was leaving at 21A. I was then stuck behind a truck but I could the old bloke in my mirrors and he was causing quite a tailback behind him as other drivers had to slow down to find a gap to overtake. I then saw him, as he was about to pass 21A, move back into the exit lane between 2 trucks and exit onto the A46. Dangerously unaware.

I personally find them all quite insipid, or at least those I have tried, green, lemon, ginger, ginseng mint. I get the potential health properties but, give me a brickies style brew of Yorkshire leaf, not bags.

Aren't they 2 of the Spice Girls?

Everyone will have their own opinions but yes, personally. The first episode was a bit dry I agree, but it does grow as the characters develop. There was a few unexpected twists in episode 2.

Just a "what if" but, what if the attack on the aid vehicles and workers in Gaza was a deliberate act designed to deter organisations and personnel from distributing aid? Netanyahu didn't apologise, just describing it as a mistake that happens in war. That infers that there's an inherent risk that this will happen again. It seems very suspicious that the 3 vehicles were directly hit and AFAIK were the only vehicles travelling in the vicinity, clearly marked as aid. If it was a "mistake" what were the IAF trying to target? There's no evidence that I have seen that there were any other possible targets. They MUST have known.

This Town. BBC1/iPlayer. Decent storyline with a decent Ska soundtrack.

I thought it was about posters giving up on LCFC, moaning and being negative no matter what, and those leaving the ground on the 81st minute... As for actual snowflakes. Who knows? Theoretically it's true but can it be proven?

Spin it effectively and the suckers will start to believe. They all do it, to a greater or lesser effect.

On Friday it will be 30 years since Kurt Cobain died. Where did that time go?

@Noahfence made the same comment in our MD thread. 18 points lead over 3rd place when were top, but he seems to have ignored the correction someone made.

Likely, as he was only out due to injury, I believe.

What about when we've gone behind?

Is spitting still banned on buses? Used to be a sign prohibiting it, back in the day. Also a sign saying "no standing on the upper deck". As if the bus might topple over.

I simply don't know what to say. Thoughts are with you. It doesn't help much, I know. I can't imagine what you're feeling or going through. I only know you from FT but nevertheless I am so sorry for your loss. Really, genuinely sorry. Really sad for you and your family.
