  1. Sky or fawanews. But I didn't tell you that
  2. Fosse Park must be packed. That said, I'm surprised there's not more support for Kingy
  3. If you subscribe to the LM online paper, you will still get the same shite content but without ads*. *(I think)
  4. I discovered that just now. No chance. Their journo's are crap anyway.

    Fragrances

    Back in the day.
  6. Wow. I met my now wife in The Revolution in 1982 when it was an independent nightclub and she was a student of computing at the DMU when it was a "college". It was a great place back then. My friend Paul Garry was the resident DJ and I did some stand in's for him. The DJ "booth" was on a balcony where one could look down at the dancefloor. He had a snare drum which he'd bash in time with the music. Sounds crap now, but at the time it was unique and generated quite an atmosphere. On one occasion whilst I was DJ there I parked my MG convertible adjacent to New Walk only to return after midnight to find some c88t had slashed the roof and chucked half a Chinese takeaway into the interior. Also a mention for Paul Garry, he attempted the Guinness record for the longest continuous playing of disco music. He was overtaken a year or so later, but it was for charity so there's always a winner. Sadly he passed away alone in his bedsit aged 32 due to aspiration of vomit after excessive drinking after/during one of his Prohibition gigs. Ahh, the memories.

    Fragrances

    I've never been a fan of "male fragrances". My daughter has bought me a bottle for Christmas for several years and although they're nice and pleasant for a couple of hours, after that I find the scent annoying and wish I could escape it.
  8. I think that was the legendary 30 seconds when he was awake during a game.
  9. This tongue in cheek comment might not be too far off...
  10. No matter the protest songs and gatherings in Minneapolis, Trump's determination to eradicate foreign "illegal" immigrants won't stop and ICE is his blunt instrument to do just that. ICE don't just arrest and deport, they also kill fellow Americans that they see as insurrectionists because they are seen as a "threat." What happened to the right of free speech? America was never great in terms of rights for the people. Now it's even worse and will become more totalitarian. Redneck supporters of our dear friend DT are just dumb sheep and will follow the herd thinking. And that's a worry for any level headed American.
  11. Government announces support package that backs British pubs - GOV.UK Another U turn? "The Treasury has announced a support package worth more than £80m a year for pubs and live music venues in England, in a climbdown that follows a fierce backlash against plans to overhaul business rates. Trade bodies had warned that Rachel Reeves’s changes to business rates, announced at the chancellor’s November budget, would trigger widespread closures and job losses in the hospitality sector, particularly in pubs. On Tuesday, the government announced financial support to mitigate the effect of the rates shake-up, after officials admitted they had not foreseen its total financial impact". I wonder just how competent those that "advise" the government are.
  12. And now he's here on FT @davieG
  13. Hooper in American English (ˈhuːpər, ˈhupər) noun "a person who makes or puts hoops on barrels, tubs, etc".; Also Cooper: "A cooper is a highly skilled craftsperson who makes and repairs wooden, staved vessels—most commonly barrels, casks, vats, and buckets—using traditional tools and methods"
  14. I imagine his journalistic skills are worse than his footballing ones.
  15. And even then, someone else will be carrying his baggage.
  16. Did it mention the pen of my aunt?
  17. I must admit, I'm tempted.
  18. So you'd like to make Nige more unwell?
  19. Was he lied to during his appointment process? Doesn't matter really, even if he'd been given the money to bring in quality players, his tactical nous and strength of character weren't up to the job and we'd still be where we are now. On the plus side, at least he's tried (albeit he's above his skill level) and not deliberately sabotaged us like the snake, Rodgers did.
  20. I'd rather have Steve Martin. At least we'd get a laugh.
  21. But he will be remembered.
  22. I think you've misconstrued what I was trying to say.
  23. I like Piper, he says what he sees. He understands the fans. As does Matty Fryatt. Even though his voice is monotone and not easy to listen to, he's honest and knowledgeable.
