Gemmill 42458 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I can accurately predict anybody's age. I use their current age and the single assumption that they age one year for every year that passes. It has yet to let me down. Would you like to hear my prediction for how old 37 year old John Ruddy will be 5 years from now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrokendoll 8541 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) best transfer window (or whatever the fuck they were called in the olden days) you can remember? only time I ever worked night shift was a temporary job for about 9 months starting in the autumn '94. caned the overtime and along with the shift allowance was feeling particularly flush when it came to an end in may '95 me, mrs tbd and the then mini tbdette headed off for a month to the little portuguese fishing village of alvor at the beginning of june. every lunchtime I'd head off to the local shop a £1's worth of escudos in hand to buy the previous days daily mirror in a whirlwind of excitement. dur8ng that holiday we signed ferdinand, barton and ginola.

I lived in Portugal for a year as a kid. Place called Carvoeiro. I was 10 so I don't remember loads about it, but if my memory is right, it was just fucking pools and beaches, interrupted during the week by school. I think my mam just treated it like she was on holiday for a year. Think that would have been the last time I had an escudo in my hand. Usually to buy a Calippo or knock off cassette tapes from the stall in the town centre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42458 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Fucking LOVE a proper peri-peri. The local bar in Carvoeiro was called Smiler's and Ruth Madoc had a house in town so was a regular in there. This was 1986 so she'd have been near the PEAK of her powers at the time. Used to go there for toasties. Think it was the only place in Portugal with a Breville. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 29419 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 This kid is the next Declan Rice. Not in that he's going to be worth £100m but in that if he's half decent at all he's going to dump us and declare for England. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
