Meenzer

Got given a Scottish fiver in my change at the pub on Sunday night and I had to make a point of spending it there and then, since nobody would've accepted it dahn 'ere. That's my excuse, anyway.

Fine then. 125062[/snapback] Your grooming skills clearly need some work. 125064[/snapback] I'm not going anywhere near his beard man

Hope you enjoy the rider

'excuse'.......there was a disorderly fucking queue formed as I recall. 125060[/snapback] Ooh, if there's disorderly fucking involved then I might pass on the wedding invitation after all...

Fine then.

He should do what Terry Wogan does and start referring to her as "the present Mrs SLP" once they've tied the knot.

I felt this thread needed resurrecting for the occasion. Oh, and I can recommend some fine drinking establishments in the vicinity of the Centre for Life if you fancy hanging around the stage door (careful now, Gemmill) and entertaining the boys after the show. 125047[/snapback] Euphemism? 125053[/snapback] "(careful now, Gemmill)" Naaah.

40GB on my clunky 2001-era PC, and just got a 300-gig external to share with me fella (last of the great romantics and all).

Meenzer from an upper class upbringing, it would have to be pronounced arse-thma tbh. 125048[/snapback] Derrière-thma

A bad case of asthma and that dodgy silver away kit. I was doomed from the start. 125033[/snapback] Astma's for puffs tbh. And that silver strip was class man! 125034[/snapback] And hang on, I wasn't always last to be picked, it depended on whether Stephen Hill had managed to work out how to tie his laces that day...

Bugger. The only Trent I'll be anywhere near that day is the one in Nottingham, where one of my best mates is getting married. Oh well. I'd have chickened out of the 5-a-side anyway

He talks about everyone else on this forum as if they're one and the same person too. Strange method of attack really - "person X said this, so I'll accuse person Y of not answering the question I asked of person Z".

So you're still claiming that it's unreasonable for people's expectations to be higher when the chairman does a good job over a ten-year period, and that our benchmark as fans should still be the bad days of a bygone era regardless of what the board choose as their own benchmark. Glad we're clear on that. No, because it wasn't directed at me in the first place and it's got absolutely fuck-all do to with what I said!

Rolf Harris is laughing your arse off?

The logical extension being that our natural state is "deciding not to buy big players and running with 25,000 crowds and selling our best players instead" - i.e. we should be eternally grateful for anything above and beyond mere mediocrity, as that's all we can reasonably expect from a prudent chairman in this day and age. But is precedent really completely irrelevant here? The "Keegan bandwagon" you so readily deride stretches back throughout the entire Sky era, after all, a period which has imposed a radically different financial framework on the game. So should Manchester United fans, say, be happy with treading water given their recent history? Should they be listening to supporters with longer memories who say "it's not that long since we were in the old second division, so you ought to be grateful for what you've got", or should they be expecting their clubs to build on the foundations that have been put in place in the meantime and continue to speculate - prudently - to accumulate? Thing is, given how much you praise Shepherd for doing precisely the latter, I just don't understand why anyone who suggests that the goalposts have moved since the bad old days immediately comes under fire. What's wrong with having higher expectations and no longer being content to sit back and accept mediocrity?

No, just a bad mood.

Aww, congrats

I think Renton and SMO should come along for this one actually 124319[/snapback] Meenzer and S-O shirley 124321[/snapback] I'm electioneering in Twickenham this weekend.

I probably wouldn't have been there, no. You're spot on about Gemmill though, whatever his protestations. Poor fella can't stop talking about the food he'll be noshing at half-time, you know. It's getting worrying.

That would be class. I think they should have their reunion in the Trent. 124230[/snapback] I had visions of us both turning up to a pissup and having a moment like. But SMO's detective skills have ruined that now.

Hey baybeh. How you doing?

"DU HURENSOHHHHHHHN!!!"

I had no idea this would have such far-reaching consequences.
