  1. Anyone else find these intense, circular battles over previous managers incredibly tedious.
  2. Well the development of the site will keep some of the historic zoo buildings intact, so the monkey temple will make a great stand/perch for the simian Gasheads. One good thing, the car-park will finally be big enough for visitors.
  3. A pretty sobering fact is that by the time us blokes reach 80, half of us are likely to have prostate cancer (although we won't all know it). It's a gland with a seeming inbuilt self-destruct mechanism and it's one of the reasons women live significantly longer than men. As the second most prevalent carcinomic malignancy (after lung cancer) it seems to me that very few resources are devoted into research into it, simply because most victims are elderly men.
  4. Seeing the word "Jordan" got them all excited. They thought they were billionaires.
  5. Extremely sad news. What an inspiration he was.
  6. You might be right. I thought he won it a bit earlier, but without Googling I can't be sure. He certainly is a top-level player who is playing pub darts these days, however. A Radstock legend.
  7. He must be knocking on these days.
  8. Mike Gregory? It's a funny sport, darts. When form goes, it goes really fast and rarely comes back. I gather he's still a formidable darter at pub level.
  9. Don't forget, that's just their prize money Phants. If they've been prominent in the past, they will earn more from personal appearances and exhibition matches.
  10. He's earned £236K from prize money alone in the last two years. There are more than 50 blokes who earn more than £30K prize money a year and of course there will be personal appearances and money from other events, sponsorships and endorsements.
  11. Nothing similar about our core support with theirs. For a start our core support have two less fingers on average and can read without their lips moving.
  12. He wouldn't be the first furtive fiddler to represent them...
  13. It was a VHS cassette of Gas highlights from that season. Penney recorded Gone With The Wind over the unused final three hours of the tape...
  14. Dave "bad" Penney was my favourite from that lot. A cracking 15% win ration and he never managed a league club again. Now sporting director at Conference North, York City.
  15. I wonder if "Dame Dildo" will use her political connections again to get Cheltenham Gold Cup running in 2021. Things should have just settled down nicely by then for a good super spreader event to set us all back...
  16. The usual methodology when Rovers were NLBRFC was to count how many turned up late and couldn't get in - then add 299. For League and Cup matches the same method applies, but count the latecomers then add 9,999.
  17. Hopefully it'll be one of the less aggressive forms of NHL which have a very decent survival rate. I wish him well.
  18. RIP Bobby and condolences to family and friends. Never saw him play myself, but he was remembered fondly by my dad and uncles.
  19. I had to look him up as well. A striker who played for them alongside the more famous Junior Agogo in the 2000s. Got transferred after a season where he scored 0 goals from open play. Dropped to non-league shortly thereafter.
  20. Well, it was all action, I'll give it that. Hope the football lives up to it now.
  21. More like it! Attack as the best form of defence.
  22. It's got the look of a massacre already. ?
  23. Got in bother before for various fights and affrays and also some counterfeit currency charge. He claims he was running an errand for the King of Dodgy Geezers, El Tel.
