  1. Judging by what I saw his mum said, I doubt he's EVER been grounded or had his favourite teddy taken off him for being a naughty boy.
  2. The Apprentice, as an arrogant, know it all apprentice who gets found with a fake CV
  3. I thought he'd resigned
  4. Several years ago I started a topic asking what posters imagined other posters looked like It lasted a while and some of the avatars and photos were quite amusing. Sadly I can't find it now. Found it. Although is archived now. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/101804-do-you-have-a-mental-image-of-ft-posters/?do=getNewComment
  5. We have made a considered choice to buy farm produced food, meat, veg, salad, fruit eggs etc from a farm shop within 30 mins drive. All the fruit is grown on site and the fresh meat is from local farmers and then prepared by butchers on site. The grain food like porridge oats and muesli is local in origin. They sell wines from UK vineyards, and much more that is not produced in huge factories/processing plants. It is more expensive, no doubt, but the quality and taste is so much better. And I feel like we are supporting local suppliers who need it. I know that we are fortunate to be able to afford these things and it's sad that the majority of people, even those that aren't on the breadline choose convenience before anything. And yes, I do still shop regularly at supermarkets but it's not the be all and end all. BTW, I like Clarkson's Farm as a bit of TV and I like how he has exposed the utter ridiculousness of the hoops that farmers have to jump through to meet the regulations imposed on them. As for visiting Diddley, I'm not a fan of going along with mass crowds just to be able to say "I've been there".
  6. Sorry, Not a patch on the real Phil:
  7. How are you watching? I can't find any links
  8. Or maybe she's just a hater and a racist who genuinely believed she was justified, and not a product of every failure you mention above?
  9. C'mon mate. He doesn't take risks. He is just inept. Being out of position as defender, losing the position/movement of an attacking player, hacking clearances to the opposition, turning his back on a shot at goal. Failing to cover a defender out of position, poor distribution from defence to midfield/attack. That's not taking risks. That's ineptitude, .
  10. Himself.
  11. In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Pandora had a jar containing all manner of misery and evil. Zeus sent her to Epimetheus, who forgot the warning of his brother Prometheus and made Pandora his wife. She afterward opened the jar, from which the evils flew out over the earth. Hope alone remained inside, the lid having been shut down before she could escape. In a later story the jar contained not evils but blessings, which would have been preserved for the human race had they not been lost through the opening of the jar out of curiosity. Exchange curiosity, for "experimentation for the Good and as a by-product, Bad". Greek myth = No going back on history. What did they know back then?
  12. I was born in 1955 10 years after WW2. Rationing had just ended 3 months before I was born. That for me is a cat's whisker from the subsequent effects of WW2. It also makes me feel very old.
  13. Is there any other player in our current squad who exudes greater arrogance than WF? I can't think of one.
  14. Yet another mis-spelling of his name. I saw him called Fatuwa in another thread. It's really not that difficult. It's not like it's a Polish or Slovakian name with 8 consonant and 2 vowels.
  15. Which players would rock the boat? And if they did talk openly about the club, themselves and their motivation, aspirations, their thoughts about relegation, promotion, their motivation and aspirations it certainly wouldn't be done in front of national press or even the LM.
  16. Ok then. I tend to agree that a team should be competitive in a competition but where do you think the actual priorities lie. Sure a win may have improved the morale but our main focus is playoffs at the least. I don't think for one minute that MC and the players are all that bothered by the result. As fans of course we want to see a good performance but ultimately there are greater priorities for this club. As for the wedding analogy, let's say it's a company function that you really can't be bothered with but you're contractually obliged to attend. You'd probably not really get involved and would sit, sullen and disinterested, just doing enough to let people know that you're there but wanting it to be over and then go home to better things thinking thank God that's over for another year
  17. Nobody forced them. You pay your money, you take your chance,
  18. Why celebrate a goal in a nothing, meaningless game that MC and the squad probably cares little about? It felt like they were just fulfilling a commitment or obligation. A bit like when you're invited to a wedding you'd rather avoid but you have to go because you accepted the initial invitation and when you get there you really don't want to dance.
  19. Nah. Long term recovery from knee ligament damage. It's right to rest him. Plus Everton have reportedly pulled out of a transfer deal.
  20. Pretty impressive given that the joke seems to have made it's first appearance her 8 years ago.
  21. Cleese: Brothers... (voice off) and sister.... Cleese: and sister.
  22. Airheads and grannies. And the sort that buy OK and Hello magazine.
  23. Parafox

    Pillows

    Nice one
  24. What?
  25. I've got a mate who's Hungarian. He's a sound guy. I've got a Czech one, too.
