  1. Another factor is that he´s not in a job at the moment, so no compensation to pay. We are skint and so will continue to appoint the cheapest manager (Marti, Rowett) and sign the cheapest players, with the inevitable outcome
  2. Two comments: 1. As you say, it´s interesting that they´ve sold 22k STs and that 4500 of them are to new ST holders 2. Next time, take your car to a different garage
  3. Thanks I'll go over there some time, with my binoculars
  4. If we add a Latin phrase, perhaps It should be "Promovemus"
  5. Thanks. I prefer the traditional badges like this one, especially if they include a Latin phrase. My favourite is the Blackburn badge, simple yet elegant
  6. I've never seen that Wolves badge before. Is it from many years ago?
  7. 😃 Thanks Now I'm going to watch a documentary about the terrorist attacks of 11/9
  8. The use (even on British web sites) of the American date system: month-day-year Even year-month-day would be more logical That´s it. I´m officially out of things to say. When do the fixtures come out?
  9. Thanks for the info. If I´m in the area, I´ll look out for it
  10. Thanks. It seems there aren't many people who have a knowledge of Prince songs and the original members of the Football League 😃 The map you posted made me think about the original members
  11. Is that for Bonfire Night? Perhaps I´ll drive over for a look. I see Sence Valley Forest Park and Kelham Bridge Nature Reserve are near Heather and Ibstock. Anyone ever been?

    I stayed on to the 6th form and one of the female students was actually living with one of the male teachers. Legal but not really appropriate! More bizarrely, one of my pals (17 years old) was "going out" with the mother of another of my pals
  13. I´m just about old enough to remember them. We used to do Penny For The Guy and go carol singing round the houses in the 70s. Didn´t make much money! I don´t suppose kids do those things any more
  14. Yes. I hope that people will see that and think twice about voting for parties that encourage and endorse such action. In the 1970s, when the NF was active, Brian Clough addressed a political meeting and someone shouted that "we should smash the fascists". Clough responded "No. We should ignore them. That will hurt them more."
  15. According to that man´s t-shirt, "Britain" now includes Northern Ireland. Also, the Isle of Wight is missing. They won´t like that in Shanklin. In the background, lurking near the bushes, is a lad recording it on his mobile. Probably an intern getting some practice in for next season. I believe that the far-right, left, Greens etc. etc. should be allowed to demonstrate, peacefully, without any counter-demonstrations.
  16. I got mixed up. I´ve never been to Leominster! But Ledbury, Worcester, Tewkesbury, Ludlow etc. are nice
  17. We were there a few years ago. The town is pleasant and you can walk along by the river. Nearby attractions include Lord Hereford´s Knob (Twmpa in Welsh, but no so funny!), a peak in the hills from where the views are lovely (watch out for the sheep). Also, Hay is not far from Brecon (lovely countryside) and within 30-40 miles are a number of nice towns like Leominster
  18. And they say there is a green woodpecker in Bradgate Park.......comrade
  19. They´re going to party like it´s 1889
  20. I mixed up my doves! I meant to say collared doves. Good job you posted your comment. Turtle dove numbers have increased on the continent in recent years so they may do so in the UK

    At my old school, I´m not sure who was worse, the teachers or the pupils. Among the pupils, there were different kinds of fights: one to one, A forms against B forms, "upper school" against "lower school" (they were separated by the sports fields) and our school against another in the town. The teachers included: Mr. Cooke - part mild-mannered geography teacher, part psycho, who would grab pupils by the hair and bang their heads against the desk Mr. Parker - the headmaster´s enforcer, who once punched me in the stomach when trying to find out who was responsible for some naughtiness (not me!) Mr. Boden - maths teacher and Hells Angel. He came to work on his "hog" and any naughty boys that the other teachers couldn´t deal with would be sent to him. He took them into the corridor and imposed his own kind of "discipline" Mr. Clements - if he saw you yawning, you had to do 10 press-ups Probably pretty lightweight stuff compared to other schools.
  22. Wood pigeons and turtle doves are quite common in parks and gardens
  23. I wish we had finished 10th or 15th last season 😃 The Swansea fans thought he did well on a limited budget
  24. He also did well at Swansea before that
  25. Well said. I don´t like to see people on Foxes Talk swearing and using words like "hate" and "despise" when talking about the club, its owners and certain players. We are all bitterly disappointed with the events of the last 2 years, but let´s stay classy.
