Good on them. Others should follow suit. I imagine that would be a massive help for a lot of people.

My Norwegian colleague today played me a song called ‘Gary Speed’ by Norwegian artist Lars Vaular, it’s apparently quite popular. Lyrics translated for reference:

 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed

There wasn't too much football on TV 
Det va ikkje for mye fotball på TV 

When Philomen Masinga and Lucas Radebe 
Når Philomen Masinga og Lucas Radebe 

Took the trip to Leeds in from Kaiser Chiefs 
Tok turen til Leeds i fra Kaiser Chiefs 

An ordinary day in my father's life 
Helt vanlig dag i min far sitt liv 

But for Simon Rix and his band, changing their name changed everything 
Men for Simon Rix og bandet hans endret det alt når de endret navn 

Had success with his first record 
Fikk suksess med sin første plate 

Masinga never got a permanent place in the team 
Masinga fikk aldri fast plass på laget 

Lucas got the job in central defence 
Lucas fikk jobben i midtforsvaret 

Captain of the club and the national team 
Kaptein på klubben og på landslaget 

Nelson Mandela arrived on the training field
Nelson Mandela kom på treningsfeltet

Said "Lucas Radebe that's my hero that" 
Sa "Lucas Radebe det e min helt det" 

Lucas said no to Man. 
Lucas sa nei til Man.

United 
United 

Makes me think of Andrew Whitey 
Får meg til å tenke på Andrew Whitey 

And his bum who liked to jump 
Og tjommien hans som likte å hoppe 

On the BMX bike in eighty-eight 
På BMX sykkelen i åttiåtte 

A little rascal named Alan Smith 
En liten rakker ved navn Alan Smith 

Who ten years later debuted in the Premiership 
Som ti år seinare debuterte i Premiership 

Away game two hours drive 
Bortekamp to timer kjøring 

Smithy scored on his first touch 
Smithy scorte på sin første berøring 

The whole of Anfield Road fell silent
Hele Anfield Road ble stille

When the boy in the heavy shirt started playing 
Når gutten i den svære skjorten begynte å spille 

The favorite of men and girls 
Favoritten til menn og piker 

Was sold to United as a traitor 
Ble solgt til United som en sviker 

Because Ridsdale screwed up the economy 
For Ridsdale ****et opp økonomien 

While the players got drunk out on the town 
Mens spillerene drakk seg fulle ute på byen 

Ended in a typical violent fade 
Endte i en typisk voldsfadese 

A boy was beaten to death and bitten in the face 
En gutt ble banket til blods og bitt i fjeset 

Duberry had many awake nights 
Duberry hadde mange våkenetter 

Testified against his teammate after 
Vitnet mot lagkameraten sin etter 

The racism in the case left deep marks
Rasismen i saken satt dype merker

People came to the door wearing Finnish caps 
Folk kom på døren med finlandshetter 

Clifford got six years as the only one 
Clifford fikk seks år som den eneste 

Woody received one hundred days of community service 
Woody fikk hundre dagers samfunnstjeneste 

Bowyer walked out a free man 
Bowyer gikk ut som en fri mann 

He sure as hell had never been better on the pitch 
Han ga faen hadde aldri vært bedre på banen 

He lied so much during the investigation 
Han løy så mye under etterforskningen 

He paid a million in court costs 
Han payet en mill i saksomkostninger 

A million pounds in dirty Leeds 
En million pund i skitne Leeds 

God how they miss Gary Speed
Herregud som de savner Gary Speed

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Gary Speed Gary Speed there is only one Gary Speed 
Gary Speed Gary Speed det fins bare én Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed

It started with Tony Dorigo on the back 
Det startet med Tony Dorigo på backen 

The ball passed to Gordon Strachan 
Ballen gikk videre til Gordon Strachan 

Strachan left the back on the spot 
Strachan la backen igjen på flekken 

Took a cheeky one up to Lee Chapman 
Tok en frekk en fram til Lee Chapman 

The keeper thought the father was awake 
Keeperen trodde at faren va vekke 

Got his hand on the ball thought he escaped with the fright 
Fikk hånden på ballen trodde han slapp med skrekken 

But the speed was great, the suit was white 
Men farten va stor drakten va hvit 

And on the return came Gary Speed
Og på returen kom Gary Speed

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 
Å Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed 

Oh Gary Gary
Å Gary Gary

Supermarket cafes generally do a great job of providing food at affordable prices/free during school holidays. 

 

But it's absolutely ****ing woeful that it's needed in the first place

Had another bike stolen... fvck it!

[UniFox21]

Was listening to a podcast with Jenas on.

If you had no idea who he was, from the way he spoke about himself you'd imagine he was the greatest player to have ever played football and was robbed of success by others

[grobyfox1990]

Interesting to see this forum and social media at large isn't awash with...

 

'VAR is the worst thing to happen to football mate'

'The game's gone'

'VAR just bin it'

'They have taken our game away from us mate'

'When did we lose football'

'It's not football anymore mate VAR shambles ticket office disgrace'

'The game's gone mate'

'Ticket office are a shambles mate'

'VAR is an absolute shambles mate games gone games gone footballs dead mate'

I actually don't think it was such a bad decision. The one in 2021 was worse.

Fair enough, the game is about opinions after all. And in mine that is never a pen. It's a normal coming together on a football pitch.

If that happened against England/Leicester, the ticket office shambles crowd would be out in their hordes. With long rambling posts about how the game is gone and they don't watch as much football as they used to when they were 6 years old because of VAR decisions like this and tippy tappy possession s***e

Is Joe Biden even alive, he's moving like a robot 

[jgtuk]

So, after the death of my father in law in April, his wife wanted the house,shed and garage clearing of all of his belongings pretty much straight away. I went over 3 times with car and trailer - most stuff was boxed up so I moved it all to my house without knowing what it was. He was an ex-raf engineer so I got a lot of memorabilia and good tools, a load of golf stuff and gardening tools.

There were also two computers, one an expensive gaming PC (I know of the value as I built it for him last year, he spent over £5k on the parts) with controls for flying (he was a massive flight sim fan) and the other an iMac which he used for his photography.

In the boxes were all of his personal things, like toiletries, cufflinks and some random RAF stuff but also a box of about ten watches, the nicest an Omega Seamaster. Also some old cameras and lenses, two of them Rolleiflex, and a newer Canon digital camera and lenses, filters, tripod and cases.

Some of the golf stuff went to the club where he used to be a member and I got £2200 which went back to his wife. The older golf stuff is in my barn awaiting collection from a mate who wants it for his son. 

I've filled the charity shops with his other belongings, clothes and shoes, lots with tags on, never worn.

It's been a full on job so I'm glad it's nearly over...

PS. I'm keeping the Omega.

Travellers knocking on my door and when I answer ask me if I am selling my car even though:

 

- my front hedge is overgrown

- they are wearing a top labelled "landscaping" or similar

- they have a leaflet in their hand which advertises landscaping/gardening services

- their van states landscaping or similar

 

Dishonest feckers aren't they?

I had a couple of them ask me if I was interested in fencing.

 

I said, "**** off, I don't even have a sword".

 No, but his hedge needs a trim if you've got a few hours spare.

I'm sensing a "casing"/reccy of your property and/or your car. If you have a car with keyless entry, I'd suggest you go to bed with the key under your mattress from now on.

Third time. Each one the same situation, clearly about to offer gardening services but change tact to ask about my car which isn't for sale (2009 merc so nothing sought after).

 

If she answered or an elderly person I suspect the conversation would be about the hedge and the services they offer.

You ought to live with Ulcerative Colitis that is constantly affecting you. Basically just like a fire hose most of the time. Pellets sound great!

We've got an office in Farringdon and the first thing I do whenever I go there to mark my territory is an absolute rip snorter, one you could see from space. I'm sending flowers to the bereaved families of cleaners on a monthly basis

A real rogue's gallery of character's this ep – the first one with Rosie Fox in, Eddie Santini doing some casual flirting, we all know how this ends
