The Year Of The Fox

I’d take Louis Walsh and Billy Elliott

Coalville Ibstock (the same thing really) Ashby

Those were the days Bert L1 rocking, 8 friends in a row together

Golf. Have been since the one man Rodgers protest walkout Haven’t looked back, can’t see me ever relinquishing my golf membership in favour of a ST again. Even if I’m fcuking shite at it

Once got sent to a job in London lodging out. Got told to meet the others at the hotel early next morning Arriving at the hotel (Premier Inn Barking FYI) I took a turn left too early and ended up in an empty Tesco car park. I drove under the barriers into the car park, and could see the hotel through the trees. Did a sweeping big U turn and went under a different set of barriers to exit. The barriers must’ve been at a slightly different height to the ones I’d drove under initially and my roof rack gets snagged on them, almost pulling the barriers out their stanchions 🤣 I’ve jumped out in a blind panic, stood on the rear bumper to see the damage. Rear bumper falls off under my weight 😂 Ran back to the drivers door to call the others, and the van door handle came off in my hand 🤣🤣 You genuinely couldn’t write it. Two of the lads turned up and the barrier arms were linked with about 6” of chain. One of the barriers had gone under my roof rack, and the other had gone over it We had to cut the leg off the pipe rack, one lad hanging off the barrier that was under my rack and another stood on the roof pulling the other barrier up, whilst I drove forward. Obviously Tesco staff started arriving at this point- it was probably about 7am I work for a small firm and word had got round all the lads by approximately 0730. Told my boss my door handle had come off, but didn’t say why. Told me to take it into the garage on the Friday. Asked the mechanic to whip the roof rack off and straighten out the huge dog leg in it Thought I’d got away with it, until another blokes van broke down the same day mine was in for repair He wasnt ITK as to what had happened that week, so essentially grassed my roof rack up to my bosses. Nothing ever got said to me though That was 2012, and I still work for them now This probably won’t sound funny to anyone else, but I’m giggling over it as I type

PSG Football > Pep or Pep II football Beautiful to watch

I’m still not having it mate There are probably 10 players you could shift on who are worse, more problematic, or who’ve never shown the levels Wilf can reach, before you get to Wilf himself.

People going on as if Wilf, the DCM with the greatest stats in Europe one season, is one of the main reasons we’re in the state we’re in. 🤦🏻🤦🏻

Frustratingly the camera cuts away from the away end a split second after you see the mayhem Still think it was better than the 5-3 United game, and the Sevilla home game

It was pretty much a sell out wasn’t it? I know a mate of mine got one the morning of the game, but there were scant few available IIRC

I don’t think it’s because they want to be entertained as such For those of us lucky enough to have been a part of the period of time between say 08/09 and 2021, there’s literally nothing tangible to strive for now. That’s how I feel anyway Yeah, you’ve the younger lads coming through now who didn’t witness what we did at a ‘drinking and have the money to do so’ age but I think a certain amount of them have seen how our atmosphere used to be, want a part of it, but don’t realise they have to do something about it. Another factor (in my opinion) is the youth of today are more sensible than we were. 10 pints on a Saturday and maybe something else too, was part and parcel of going to the football. It led to some raucous atmospheres. Lads of the same age these days generally drink nowhere near the amount we used to, in general life, not just at the football. (Which is no bad thing really)

That Cardiff away end in the playoffs was very very special

Used to clean offices as a part time job during my A Levels. A PC had been left on so I logged into my MSN Messenger for a bit Logged out, but unfortunately for me it kept my username saved, which had my first and surname in it. Hook, line, sinker

Melbourne?
