  1. Thanks for the info Spud.I will try out your theory with the defibrillator on the Co op wall.Just need a willing volunteer/victim now!
  2. The best bit is that even though it would have been extremely funny if they didn't get planning permission, it is even funnier that they did and this is the best they could come up with.
  3. I guess I am speaking for most people that dislike the central because we feel the badge should aways be placed above your heart
  4. Got to be honest, I thought he should have been subbed when he got the yellow. Fair play to him though he toned it down a bit after his booking.
  5. Nearest I have got is watching football when I'm hungry.
  6. "West Ham may be missing out on their winter break due to this fixture, but to be fair their keeper might as well be on the beach somewhere."
  7. The Whistle Song -Frankie Knuckles
  8. Kayleigh-Marillion.Lead singer-Fish.
  9. Friday I'm in love.......The Cure.
  10. Is there an instrumental version?John Squire sounds amazing as ever.Imagine the song that the Stone Roses could have made out of that.
  11. Never ones to be left behind, "Everyone's favourites" have announced plans to stage a rival extravaganza at the Memorial Stadium. Getting the jump on their cross town "rivals" they have even announced the first act,one that is sure to be close to both of their loyal supporters hearts.
  12. I think I have told this story here before but when I was a kid,Alan Dicks was at a school fete. (QEH.My cousins went there.I only got to St George!).This was when City were in Division One in the days before Sky invented football. I won one of those paper thin footballs that when you kicked it,it went about three feet forwards,then the wind took it half a mile behind you.I got Sir Dicks to sign my ball and proudly took it home.Once home I jumped out of the car and me and my chums prepared for a kick about.First kick the ball majestically glided forward for three feet then boomaranged back under the car with a still hot exhaust. The knife trick was never going to work on this one as once I had peeled the ball off the exhaust what remained was more hole than ball.
  13. Sadly it is also the same circumference.
  14. Good idea Dave.They have those free paper tape measures too.
  15. Another useless fact.... My n*b is the same length as two Argos pencils. Another useless fact.... I am now banned from Argos.
  16. Just to clarify, I have no problem with Liam,just the manner of his appointment which is obviously no fault of his own.
  17. We will never know what would have happened if NP was still here so not sure how you can say that .
  18. Dreadful news that couldn't really have come at a worse time for his family and friends. Far too young too.Condolonces to all that knew Chris.
  19. I would rather eat the caterpillar.
  20. Disgusting.They are Satan's testicles!
  21. Again,thank you both for your kind words. The saddest part is that she went from a very poorly paid job to a job that really didn't pay that much more but was enough to satisfy the building society that agreed to give her the loan for a mortgage.
  22. Thanks for both of your replies. I am indeed proud of her.I am not one for bigging up my family but she was very good at doing a tough job that I certainly couldn't of done.It was a job that gave her a lot of purpose and satisfaction too.A real shame and I am sure there are many other similar stories.
  23. My daughter spent several years working in a home for adults with a variety of mental and physical health issues. These included people that couldn't even eat.They were fed through pegs in their stomach. Obviously the place was understaffed so she had to do cooking and cleaning on top of her duties. Days and night shifts.She loved it.When she wanted to buy a house with her boyfriend she couldn't get a mortgage on her earnings. She had to leave the care home and go selling home insurance over the phone as it paid more.Absolutely shocking.
