Free Falling Foxes

Bewildering to my eyes. Professional footballers who cannot deliver with some degree of accuracy, in a dead ball situation.

Not sure what you're getting at here. They may have finished 'pulling their finger out' at 5, after a days graft. Unless, of course, you don't know your AM from your PM.

Bloody awful that was. It was as if we had conceding a penalty when the opposition had a corner - almost certain to score.

Mmmmm, not a single person in that photograph is watching that mushroom cloud.

It's all so uninspiring, week in week out. I find my attention wanders from the match as it progresses. In fact, that probably means I qualify for a starting spot in the team. Tonight, for the first time ever, I was checking out topics in the General Chat part of the forum, completely ambivalent as to the progress of the match.

Just look at the majority of the posts at the start of the match thread. So many posters called it when the team was announced. How can so many fans see it but not the Manager?

Leicester - plenty of possession, no goals - City. Like a fecking broken record.

It's still early in the season I know, but it seems we should write it off and plan for 26/27. Trouble is; we are awful and have a points deduction incoming, so we might have a too close for comfort, brush with the bottom three.

The absolutely bottom line is, we are not very good.

Freeview CH75, show film of 60s (and 70s) groups giving live performances back in the day. I've seen some great ones on there recently.

I would say 60s. There's a warehouse along Silver Street that stocks LSD!

There was a debate on here recently about what exactly is 'Being British'. They used to say home is where the heart is. Sadly, on too many occasions, 'British citizens' hearts are very much elsewhere. We have the potential problem in Birmingham, primarily because of the recent Gaza situation. We had violence between Muslims and Hindus in Leicester over issues in Pakistan/India. There will be probably more such disturbances in the future too. I despair.

Local MP Ayoub Khan, an independent for Birmingham Perry Barr, who campaigned on a pro-Gaza platform in last year's general election, supports the ban - perhaps not surprisingly? He went on to say that his support of the ban is based purely on the polices safety concerns. He staunchly said, 'We should support our police. But then he completely undermined this unequivocal support for the police by adding - '.....on this occasion I do'.

What an incredible and emotive piece of film this is. The fellas emotions cause him to stagger in disbelief and unbridled joy. Very moving.

Video Plus numbers. I've not been able to record a bloody thing for years now.

Postman tw4t.

One for the, 'Birds you Fancy.......' thread?

Kasper. One of the bargains

I hope you didn't get ripped-off like I was. Tenner for two tablets that turned out to be these......... The rotter took advantage of my desperation and colour blindness.

Hard? Unfortunate word to use at my time of life.

We have a small 2' dia pond that that has had frogspawn deposited therein* most years. Often however, it can all disappear overnight. I wondered if some animal laps it up during a midnight feast, especially as a neighbour reported frogspawn (vomited?) all over their patio one morning. * One year, I was passing our pond and it looked like it was coming to the boil as there were loads of bubbles appearing. Closer inspection revealed 6 or more pairs having a proper frog orgy.

I think so these days. We had a replacement window a couple of years ago and the company asked for a 33% deposit, another 3rd just before the job was started and the rest on completion. We have just had new internal doors fitted and the firm wanted a 50% deposit, with the rest on completion .
