  1. My wallet feels heavier thanx to a pompous bloke from "Adelaide"! Came into the bar with a righteous attitude and left without his lighter. Found it while sweeping. Took it to have it appraised and as soon as they offered me sixteen bills, I almost snapped their hand off.
  2. It has been 48 days. Please post more.
  3. The mayor of San Juan! Meanwhile he was screeching, "Fore!".
  4. What about Nobby Solano? "Freddy first flew out to Argentina to sign me when I was at Boca Juniors and made it clear he wanted me." "He was a very warm and kind man. He spoke passionately about Newcastle United and how he wanted to make the club the best in the Premier League and challenge the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea at that time." "I will always be grateful to him for giving me the chance to play for Newcastle. I had the choice of other clubs but Freddy sold me Newcastle because of his ambition and passion." "I wasn’t playing in the team at the time and couldn’t get my place. It was frustrating because Lee Bowyer was playing ahead of me and he wasn’t a right-winger, he was a centre-midfielder and I still couldn’t get in." "So I told Bobby that I had to go to play first-team football. I was pushed to do that given my age at that time because I needed to play." "I was always getting texts from the lads at Newcastle when I was at Aston Villa. Stevie Harper and Alan Shearer would always ask me how I was and if I would come back to play alongside them." "Of course, Newcastle is very close to my heart and I always fancied a return. Then in August 2005, Freddy made the bid to Aston Villa and I was always going to say: ‘Yes please Mr Chairman’. Even then Freddy was ambitious. He signed me and Michael Owen on the same day and gave Souness a really good team to work with. Unfortunately it didn’t work out but Freddy had shown the ambition." "I went to see Freddy at his business Shepherd Offshore a couple of years ago and we had dinner to talk about the good times and playing in the Champions League. You could see it in his eyes even then that he still loved the club and wanted the team to do well." "The fans at Newcastle feed off ambition. Sadly, you only need to look at the record of Newcastle in this decade and the last one to see that the standards have dipped. Football has changed but if you buy the right players you can compete." "Newcastle have the right manager in charge now, so they should back him."
  5. Derby day in 1909. 2-2 at the whistle.
  6. This Lt. General should give him tips on how to accurately give a speech. This is a result after racist slurs were used in the dorms. "Get out!"
  7. The replies will give most of us a chuckle.
  8. Footballing royalty including former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, England forwards Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, and former Brazil striker Ronaldo have all signed up to feature in a documentary about football manager Bobby Robson. The feature-length film is being co-directed by Gabriel Clarke and Torquil Jones, the team behind Steve McQueen: The Man And Le Mans, the feature doc about the Hollywood icon which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. Bobby Robson will chart the life and career of the titular football personality, from his early days as football player in the UK in the 1950s, to his managerial stints with Barcelona, Newcastle United and the England national team, as well as his establishment of cancer research charity the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. A figure much-loved across English football, Robson died in 2009 at the age of 78. As well as newly-filmed interviews with figures of the footballing world, the film will also feature unseen footage from throughout his career, unearthed by the filmmaking team from various sports media archives. Gabriel Clarke also acts as the project’s writer, while Torquil Jones will co-produce alongside John McKenna and Victoria Barrell from London-based Noah Media Group. Funded by private investors and made with the blessing of Robson’s widow Elsie Robson, his family and the support of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, the team are aiming to deliver the film in time for the World Cup next year. Gabriel Clarke commented: “It’s an honour to be involved in this project. Sir Bobby Robson’s story is one of the greatest in football - from his playing career, which included twenty caps for England, to his extraordinary life as a manager.” John McKenna, CEO of Noah Media Group comments: “We’re delighted to have the opportunity to tell Sir Bobby’s extraordinary story. The response we’ve had from sporting legends, all keen to contribute their memories, is testament to what a truly remarkable man Sir Bobby was. The film will interweave classic archive with original interviews to poignantly reflect on the past and shine a spotlight on the state of the current game.” Noah Media is planning to self-distribute the film in the UK by utilising football clubs associated with Robson and football supporters’ groups. Peter Dunits of 22 Media International will handle further UK sales as well as international rights on the project. https://www.screendaily.com/news/alex-ferguson-gary-lineker-sign-up-for-bobby-robson-documentary-exclusive/5122654.article
  9. "The accounts also show that Ashley invested in an internet radio firm – believed to be loss-making Radar Radio, owned by his son Ollie, 27." "The company also cancelled a controversial deal with Barlin Delivery, owned by the tycoon's 56-year-old brother John." "City regulators are investigating auditor Grant Thornton's previous failure to disclose the deal, which saw Barlin handle some of Sports Direct's international deliveries to buyers online." http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-4923212/Mike-Ashley-s-year-gets-worse-profits-slump-300m.html
  10. https://factba.se/topics/howard-stern-interviews I never gave Stern any of my attention so I missed these except for the odd excerpt that would surface. This is a searchable database of Trump's interviews on his show dating back to 1993. Utter insanity.
  11. There can still be derby days with Boro while they languish in League 2.
  12. Portsmouth managed to do it in the 09/10 season, they scored three goals while allowing twelve.
  13. Thread bump. In depth read about the 15 October 1997 Cassini-Huygens mission which travelled to Saturn. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/cassini_huygens_saturn
  14. "Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b**** off the field right now, out, he’s fired. He’s fired!’ You know, some owner is gonna do that. He’s gonna say, ‘That guy that disrespects our flag, he’s fired.’ And that owner, they don’t know it. They don’t know it. They’re friends of mine, many of them. They don’t know it. They’ll be the most popular person for a week. They’ll be the most popular person in this country." "When the NFL ratings are down massively, massively. The NFL ratings are down massively. Now the No. 1 reason happens to be they like watching what’s happening … with yours truly. They like what’s happening. Because you know today if you hit too hard: 15 yards! Throw him out of the game! They had that last week. I watched for a couple of minutes. Two guys, just really beautiful tackle. Boom, 15 yards! The referee gets on television, his wife is sitting at home, she’s so proud of him. They’re ruining the game! They’re ruining the game. That’s what they want to do. They want to hit. They want to hit! It is hurting the game." "But do you know what’s hurting the game more than that? When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when they’re playing our great national anthem. The only thing you could do better is if you see it, even if it’s one player, leave the stadium. I guarantee things will stop. Things will stop. Just pick up and leave. Pick up and leave. Not the same game anymore, anyway."
