Think he means exporting implants rather than ones Gazza would have in his suitcase 👍🏻

At my school we’d have read Smash Hits but it would’ve been reading a copy one of the lasses had bought on the sly. You’d never actually go into a shop and buy it. Even though it was decent and would feature some bands you liked. Also one of the few decent things about getting old is you can like any of the stuff you liked growing up. I really liked loads of disco/post disco at the time. Talking early 80s I guess. But I wouldn’t have admitted to it a few years later in the 90s. And probably didn’t really like it for a while. Especially stuff like Shalamar and all the stuff Bernard Edwards and Nile Rogers did. Most of which is fucking sensational imo. But now I don’t give a fuck because I’m an uncool middle aged dad. That’s another good thing re the Chart Music podcast. I.e. it’s the absolute perfect time in my life for me to be listening to it with the attitude I have to music now where I just like stuff and don’t have any hang ups about what people might think about my taste.

Not Top of the Pops but this might appeal to the Chart Music lot /pop-crazed youngsters. Shalamar (who I unashamedly fucking love) performing live on The Tube:

I haven’t, no. Thanks, looks interesting. I love that era and that specific subculture

On the subject on Xmas (-ish), there’s a house on my estate and they have a themed wreath on their door, which varies throughout the year, which seems to be a bit of a trend now. They also put themed decorations up in the small tree next to their house. So Easter, summer and so on. It’s on my way to the metro and I also often go past when walking the dogs. This year I noticed the Halloween stuff replaced the summer theme on September 1st Even better the OTT Xmas decorations, including tinsel wrapped around all the lampposts nearby were there on the 1st of fucking November. I went past on New Year’s Day and they’ve put up a pink wreath and pink heart decorations up in the tree for Valentine’s Day. Seriously, what are people like?

I mean I’m not condoning what he did. But at least with Jenas you could see how a former premier league footballer might think they’re god’s gift to women. But Wallace’s ego seems to be largely based on being an overweight middle aged bloke who lost a couple of stone and started going to the gym. The fucking state of him, man. Mind, I doubt there’s much between them in the who’s the biggest cunt stakes.

I think the words you’re looking for are: Jason Tindall

Aye. I think it’s fuelled in part by Anita Dobson* being disingenuous about it because his job is on the line. But you’re right in that it still shows an ignorance of the rule. Which was interpreted absolutely correctly. *That’s one for the kids.

Oozing Blud 👍🏻

It’s quite an ambiguous statement anyway, so it’s not like repeating it several times clarified anything. I don’t know why he just didn’t say he thought they’d created enough to win. I don’t think that’s true and we shaded it in terms of xG. But he just comes across likes he’s trying to con people into thinking Spurs were hard done to. Feel a bit sorry for him as he seems alright but his style of play has seen him found out a bit.

Full kit wanker

It’s his latest grift. Our election periods aren’t fixed so he’s trying to engineer a campaign to call an election here. I don’t even think he knows what the aim is. Despite being wealthy beyond anyone’s dreams he’s bored with everything, hates just about everything and at the core of that is his own, putrefying sociopathic ego. A lot of humanity, unfortunately, deserves him though. Most, unfortunately, don’t

That’s the rule. It’s not a boundary until the ball either lands over the boundary or touches it. If the fielder is in contact with the ball and touches the boundary or steps over the boundary whilst fielding the ball or catching it, then it’s a boundary. So in this case he stopped the ball landing over the boundary, even though it’s apparently crossed the line. Applies whether it’s a four or a six. You can flick the ball back to another player too where the same rules apply. Obviously if you do it when the ball has already bounced inside the boundary you’re only preventing a four. If he’d flicked the ball back but had failed to catch it before it bounced inside the boundary, he’d still have prevented a six being scored. This sort of thing was virtually unheard of until fairly recently but the standard of fielding is incredible these days.

Deeney seems to have carved out a bit of a media career for himself. Also seems to turn up on loads of those podcast clips you see where players relate ‘fascinating’ anecdotes from back in the day. I must have caught about 5 or so with him on and on every single one he’s had a fallout with and threatened to chin the manager / one of the coaches. Even allowing for BS maybe he was the issue a lot of the time?

She was later though I think. Not that I particularly liked her, probably due to an aversion to the show in general. Although I do remember the lily pond catfight she had with Alexis / Joan Collins

Just realised I meant Lynda Carter! Wonder Woman not Krystle fucking Carrington

In an innocent ‘crush’, long before my balls dropped-type of way, I would’ve been into Secker, Linda Evans and Floella Benjamin at various stages in the late 70s / 80s.

You tried this one @Gemmill ? Got a nice retro feel to it as well 👍🏻

I just thought I’d chuck that killjoy spanner into the works. It felt like it was what your little brain teaser really needed it’s all fairly arbitrary anyway. Given Jesus was probably born a few years before 1 AD (King Herod died c. 4 BC). Fucking hell, I’m boring myself now.

Despite all the millennium 1999 stuff this century and millennium actually started 1st January 2001. The first year of AD or the Common Era was year ‘1’ not a year ‘0’. AD 1 came immediately after BC 1. Although obviously they were not regarded as that until later.

Also could be a bit of a history rewrite to make him look less of a rat. Especially since it went so deliciously badly for him at Man Utd

Could’ve probably gotten away with giving him it as there’s a good chance a young lad receiving a diary (a fucking diary in 2024 ) would never have opened it

Flattering scoreline for Man Utd

Wore the number 99 shirt iirc

I did like this interaction on page 1 of a thread started by wschmidt about Jason Tindall:
