bert tann Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Twas a hot afternoon Last day of June And the sun was a demon I saw Speedwell Sue Resplendent in blue And it set my truss steaming She was thirty one and I was seventy I knew nothing about deviation, she knew everything So I knelt behind her bound in leather string And wondered whether Rovers would sign Liam Scales from UCD 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 On this momentous day for world diplomacy with one of the most powerful men in the world crossing the border into enemy territory, what are the chances of Sir Steve visiting the Memorial Ground?

BCFC11 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I notice this Fewer below fails to pick out the running commentary from a certain Colin Daniel fixture now that is pure porn, bollox to your ‘Poetry’ Buried within that decade long thread, is a minute by minute commentary of the Dagenham game and how we were ‘bottling it’. The moment they realise Browner scores 90+2 really is something to behold. If anyone has some time free, definitely track those moments down, it is pure poetry.

Port Said Red Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I heard this on the TV this morning and thought that maybe the Sags could make a few quid by suing Co op for stealing their catchphrase. https://www.coop.co.uk/its-what-we-do Shame it wasn't Sainsburys. Mind you if they fall out with another supermarket the boycotting could become a pandemic, eventually they might not have anywhere to shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I never knew that PSR. He had digs next door to my gran when he joined us and he would occasionally kick a ball around in the street with us even though he was a couple of years older than we were (whoops- I've given my age away now ). Nothing wrong with petrol pump attendants though. I had a part time job as one as a kid and served fuel to Gerry Gow and Trevor Tainton. I think Trevor Jacobs may have come in once or twice too.

(petrol which was leaded and came in 2* , 3*, & 4* star quality and price variants btw) . All the while the driver remained seated in the comfort of his motor and was thanked as 'Sir/Madam' at the conclusion of the transaction. Also during the fun time non PC days of the 70's , petrol station events and promotions even included on occasion ' Topless Petrol Forecourt Attendants' usually provided by well proportioned ample bosomed local blond and brunette beauties. I remember one such 'topless attendant event' at my local petrol station in Longwell Green so know its a fact that it happened . Those were the days my friends!

richwwtk Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 The last place I ever saw with attendants was a petrol station in Leytonstone in the late 90s. Although there you had to pay them first and they existed purely to stop people trying to do a runner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
