  1. He's been gone too long.
  2. I've spent most of my working life winging it in various jobs. Never really any good at anything but must've been believable. Don't most people do that?
  3. I would switch off the camera! No idea what's going on in mine but not seen any evidence of chick's being fed. Have you counted from the day the last egg was laid?
  4. At least Southampton will break the 11 point barrier which is important.
  5. Dunno about that. Have you seen some of the payments CEO's get for failure, such as the water industry ?
  6. Winning the FA Cup isn't for everyone.
  7. Made an early call on this one. Not going but will have to be at the Ipswich match for the Vardy farewell
  8. But he has won more than those singing about his missus.
  9. Vardy not on MLS discovery lists as Leicester exit looms Nick Mashiter BBC Sport football news reporter Jamie Vardy is not on any Major League Soccer club's discovery list as attention turns to his next destination. The former England striker will leave Leicester after 13 years when his contract expires at the end of the season, having scored 198 goals and won the Premier League with the Foxes. But no club in the MLS currently has him on their discovery list, which gives them first refusal over a player should they want to join. Chicago Fire had Neymar on their list - and held talks with the Brazil international's camp before he made an emotional return to Santo in January - while Inter Miami have Kevin de Bruyne on theirs. A club may have up to five players on their discovery list at any time and can add or remove players. Vardy enjoys a good relationship with Charlotte FC boss Dean Smith, who he worked with at Leicester, and Smith tried to sign him last year. Charlotte are currently top of the Eastern Conference.

  10. Doesn't have to be IMHO. He IS the worst.
  11. Soul destroying. It's sucked the life out of me. Our club is broken.
  12. I'd still rather the Kop renamed with a big sign at the top saying THE JAMIE VARDY STAND so away fans can look at it the whole match.
  13. I wouldn't want the Vichai statue moved unless the expansion goes ahead. The memorial garden is tucked away at the moment and hardly anyone will see it. I do think it should be outside the main entrance though.
  14. I've shared the details with the club of two sitting in front of me via a feedback questionnaire.
  15. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cn8vdj33qglo
  16. In all my years of going down the City I have never had a moment like this one. I was in some sort of weird drug like trance. I'll take this to the grave. Unforgettable.
  17. Make it happen. Come on King Power, give us something back.
  18. Won't be awkward. I will applaud if that happens.
  19. Tribute bands my be frowned upon, uncool even, but I saw the Musical Box at Bath Forum last night. It was more of a recreation of a Gabriel led early days Genesis from the 1972/73 Foxtrot tour. I missed the original at DeMont that spawned the 'Genesis Live' album so had to see this show. Old man's music? Probably, but I was taken back to a time of whimsical nonsense prog rock played by very talented musicians. Attention to every detail was immaculate from the stage set, costumes and original instruments. A great show that I'd recommend. Unfortunately they have already played DeMont but still touring elsewhere in the UK. Heracleum mantegazziani
  20. That wouldn't be enough to pay us back but it would be a start. Glorious.
  21. A good historical explanation (not mine) of the origins of St George.... The idea that St. George was Palestinian or Turkish stems from modern misinterpretations or anachronistic projections onto his historical context. St. George, a Christian martyr venerated as a saint, was born around 280 CE in Cappadocia, a region in what is now modern-day Turkey, then part of the Roman Empire. His father was likely a Roman soldier, and his mother was from Lydda (now Lod, Israel), a town in the Roman province of Judea. Calling him "Palestinian" or "Turkish" is misleading because these national identities did not exist in the 3rd century. The term "Palestinian" today refers to the modern Arab population of the region, which is distinct from the multi-ethnic Roman Judea of George's time, populated by Jews, Romans, Greeks, and others. Similarly, "Turkish" refers to the Turkic peoples who arrived in Anatolia centuries later, long after George's era. Primary sources, like the 4th-century accounts of his martyrdom, describe George as a Roman soldier of Greek or Cappadocian descent, executed in Nicomedia (modern Izmit, Turkey) around 303 CE for refusing to renounce Christianity. His connection to Lydda comes from his mother’s origin and his later association with the town, where a church was built in his honor. These sources don't align with modern ethnic or national labels like "Palestinian" or "Turkish." The fallacy likely arises from conflating ancient geography with modern political boundaries or from cultural traditions claiming George as a local hero in various regions. For example, Palestinian Christians venerate him due to his Lydda connection, and Turkey claims him as a figure from Cappadocia. However, these are retrospective associations, not historical facts about his identity. In short, St. George was a Roman citizen of likely Greek or Cappadocian background, and applying modern labels like "Palestinian" or "Turkish" to him is anachronistic and inaccurate.
  22. I think the actual saint is symbolic. No one believes the George and the dragon story anymore than Santa Claus. It's just a name given to what should be a celebration of a country.
