Gordon the Great

Should have shoved the ragmans trumpet up his .......................

I can remember the Rag and bone man coming round on a horse and cart. Shouting "Any old iron or rag, bone" and using a metal loud hailer shaped like a funnel. that would have been about 1959/ 60 ish.

Was truly just about to say the same! made me laugh out loud, have not heard that since the 70`s or so. Maybe someone will start a new thread of these wonderful but obsolete nonsense sayings from years gone by!

That`s a Great boost, really like this lad, think he will turn out to be a bit of a legend.

Blimey! At this rate the howible torwies will only win the next election by about 40 seats!

The cactus on the left of the photo obviously appreciates her!

"Those were the days , my friend"........

Could always ask for a fifth column to be inserted into the census, sounds appropriate to me.

Brilliant but............. be careful, you will be getting "No platformed" and you vill be investigated vor ze hate crime!

One man`s Gherkin is another mans .................I love `em!!

Glad I`m not the only one who is totally fed up with tuning the Radio to Test match special or Five live football and getting Woman's hour.

isn't it the same officials?

Exactly that. They will never be able to acknowledge the truth, it really is a fact. If you visit the Normandy museums you will see that they have attempted to expunge all things British from the true history everything is about the Americans ,French and Canadian troops on D-Day it is truly laughable. Around about 110, 000 troops landed on D-Day, 400 off which were French and very brave they were too, but the French have always tried to re-write History, as to some extent have the Yanks. If you wish I can point you in the direction off several books written straight after or even during the war which will give you some idea of the abject capitulation and the subsequent collaboration of the French government in the murder and subjugation of it`s own people.

We`ll be fine.

No Not specific individuals, like any massive institution it will have it`s rotten Apples. In truth I have no hatred for anyone from anywhere. I have visited every country in Europe bar 3 in the last 15 years and never had any problem with anyone whilst there. I have friends of 30 years plus in both Belgium and Holland and am a qualified guide to the First world war battlefields. I can stay in both countries without bothering about hotels etc (Covid allowing) I strongly believe that you cannot have German Bankers, Dutch Industrialists, and Italian and Greek farmers living under the same Fiscal roof.it quite simply doesn't work and I think the problems of Greece, Italy, Ireland Portugal etc are evidence of that. They really don`t want us but they want our financial clout(Such as it may be), and we ....certainly the "We" of my generation don`t want to be formally joined to them. Some of them, France, Germany, Austria to name a few, there are more, are not and have never been our so called friends. In this, I do not refer to the average Joe in the street ,but the Policy's of National Government . Sadly it all goes back to recent history which will surely slip away in time, but the French will never forgive us, the Allies in general, but the British in particular for pulling them out of their 1940-1944 humiliation. To think, that not 11 years after the rape, pillage and cold bloodied murder of it`s citizens De Gaulle and his cronies got into bed with the Germans to form the nucleus of the Common market....downright shameful in my humble opinion. However you got me off on one so I'll stop there. Suffice to say we had the Greatest Democratic vote that this Nation has ever seen in 2016 and we voted to leave. It is what it is, I truly believe that it was the right decision, some , including family and close friends voted to remain, their choice ,no problem but it`s over now, we need to move on.

Big City fan or so it was rumoured.

Brilliant woman.

I wouldn't let it eat you up..........the whole rotting institution will be gone in 20 years. Just hope I live to see it My Grandchildren now live in a free ,independent, sovereign nation .........and that will do for me.

Nah, it`s every 41 years............Thank God!!

There we go, third time lucky then!!

Could not fault one single word of what you have said but can`t understand why you would put this in the unpopular opinions thread? In my world anyone who held the opposite opinion would be massively unpopular to say the least.

100% Bang On!

This is UNCANNY! I think you have the mindset of a whole generation of City fans of a certain age and to be fair, you have exactly expressed our feelings, talk about hit the nail on the head! RESPECT!

SIR Gordon...............if you please!!

Wow! Some total classics in that list.........Das Boot......made me sweat just watching it!
