  1. Different, though related, subject tbh tbh tbh And I haven't started a thread for fucking eons
  2. How many sheets ? 2 for me, rainforest protectionist shitter me like. (I will admit to going up to 3 if she's bought that quilted stuff with the inbuilt tear promoting "fault lines") Unlike wor lass (judging by the shrinking of the roll between my visits), who must use countless sheets rolled up into a big ball for both front and back bums.
  3. Imagine the shit particles the standers allow to escape into the general atmosphere in the very act of standing. To be honest the very notion of standing has never occured to me in all my 49.999 years of existence, until I read this thread, fucking wierd IMO
  4. I quite like it. A footy shirt for golfers
  5. Is there only one left, or only one capable of flight left? There's only one flying, there's a few around in static displays etc. Than in itself is a shame. Surely more could have been saved as they are such an iconic part of our military history. Unfortunately it usually takes private money rather than government funding and we don't have enough interested rich people or enthusiasts, unlike the in the States - see the Confederate Airforce as an example. Look at the number of B17's and P51's etc that still fly. Dave Gilmour of Pink FLoyd owns a P51, you'd think he would have gone for a Spitfire or something !! If you watch 633 Squadron, they used the last 3 flying Mosquitoes to make that and that was donkeys years ago, none flying now (I believe) since the last one crashed
  6. Is there only one left, or only one capable of flight left? There's only one flying, there's a few around in static displays etc. Looking forward to the new film myself, Peter Jackson is the producer, should be good. Wonder if they'll have the balls not to re-name Guy Gibsons dog and therefore the mission success codeword
  7. Shouldn't scousers be banned as a matter of course for safety reasons?? They could crush us to death against our keyboards and get off with it, by blamming the Sun or the police
  8. Proof in itself that this story is bollocks tbh. Yep
  9. Lot of travelling with this London summons tomorrow for KK, Ashley etc then

    It appears that the initiation to that board is to abuse newbies then? I was mild mannered as well. 100% the wrong thing to do

    You couldn't be more wrong
  15. Word is, they're paying £500K for the loan period !!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Don't know about songs but when a mate of a mate who was a pro comedian died and he insisted on no flowers but had a cabbage in a pot on top of his coffin

    That's exactly what should have been done. But I feel more for the passengers rather than the project managers who have had a large part to play in the cock up. Thing is the PM's likely suggested caution (I would, as above) but the "management" won't have countenanced it, BUT it'll all be the PM's fault (as per your comments). Been there before myself, you're right like the passengers deserve most sympathy, but the real people at fault won't take the "hit".

    Was crass stupidity going for a "big bang" opening, should have phased the opening in, 10 flights for a few days then another 10 then 50 and only THEN if all went well and the wrinkles were ironed out go for it all. Being one myself I feel for the project managers, they won't have slept last night
  19. He would have got away with it but he was tackled by a roundabout
  20. I agree totally with what you're saying, especially the thin end of the wedge piece. Unfortunately the fans who went were the most important because they had the only money that the clubs could get their hands on by getting them through the door. That distinction is forever gone.
  21. It used to be, mainly because the only way to see the game and to establish a connection with a team was to go, hence it was local and by definition "tribal", it just wasn't accessible otherwise. How many Man U fans live in Surrey, how much of a leap is it for there to be as many in outer mongolia (if they have tellies in their Yak pens). Look at the number of foreign Toon fans who post on here.
  22. Oh they won't like it, but money talks. There'll be a compromise somewhere, no FA cup replays or something
  23. Is Football so different here these days. I've never been to a 4 hour game of football. I have, I've also been to an all day game of cricket, no difference IMO I wonder if cricket will take off in the U.S.? That wasn't the point, the point was that different sports attract different audiences. The danger for football fans is that the traditional fan is no longer the audience that is being persued.
  24. Guaranteed. For burn out they'll figure something out like have bigger squads, more substitutions, or even a series of games over a longer period offshore. Lets face it flying 23 hours to Melbourne in cattle-class like we'd have to do will fuck you over, flying in luxury I would guess is a LOT less tiring. It's not our game anymore. Our local team is simply a cog in the machine that is the EPL, and money is the oil that makes it run. IF a club can make more money from playing "away" than it can at home, what do you think they'll do. The machine was created by the clubs themselves, all the power in the PL is in the hands of the chairmen. As for Australia, hypersonic jets are not far off. It was, but now it's the owners - and how many of them are "football people"
  25. A member of the fanchised elite will never end up in the third division and the bodies comming through the door each game are of secondary importance, income income income the more the better. The only people who think this is a bad idea is the traditional supporter, and to be honest we are becomming irrelevant
