  1. Unless someone lights a match ! Look what happened last time someone tried that !
  2. Blimey I had forgotten about that fiasco!
  3. Don't forget that this period is BEFORE they are released in the public domain
  4. I would disagree with this, you are assuming that everyone has access to FB / Twitter or any part of the web, and also live locally enough to hear the radio or read the paper - the club told us earlier this season that they were checking everyone's contact details - now is the time to use it. I work with a Polish Dr, who just took delight in telling me his son was flying over next Friday and would be seeing his first City game - you can imagine what he reaction was to the news (though will need a tranlator for some of the reply). The craziest thing was he phoned up YESTERDAY for the tickets, surely someone could have warned the ticket staff that there was a possibility of the game moving ??
  5. Isn't this just the icing on the cake for all the disasters off the pitch that we have all had to put up with since the summer last year !
  6. To me one of the biggest own goals with this is screwing themselves over The community trust are cycling back from Lands End raising money for the Botswana trip and was geared up for them to get back for the game on the Saturday
  7. You have to be on a wind up ? Cookie, any ideas?
  8. Still won't believe it until I see the work starting - too many false dawns with Rovers
  9. Nothing stopping us both being away on the same weekend. They will probably be expected to change to a Friday / Sunday in the event of us both being at home. If we are talking about 4 fixtures, liklihood that would be 2 games, fully expect Rovers to move to their Friday night slot.
  10. Tact, as taught by the Marines A young Naval Officer was in a terrible car accident, but due to the heroics of the hospital staff the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained in the military and eventually became an Admiral. However, during his career he was always sensitive about his appearance. One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a Marine Sergeant Major for his personal staff. The first Master Chief was a Surface Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" The Master Chief answered, "Why yes. I couldn't help but notice you are missing your starboard ear, so I don't know whether this impacts your hearing on that side." The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his office. The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same question, answered, "Well yes, you seem to be short one ear." The Admiral threw him out also. The third interview was with a Marine Sergeant Major. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, but went ahead with the same question. "Do you notice anything different about me?" To his surprise the Sergeant Major said, "Yes. You wear contact lenses." The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly tactful Marine. "And how do you know that?" the Admiral asked. The Sergeant Major replied, "Well sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with only one ear!
  11. Recently, a female police officer arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year old white male, fornicating with a pumpkin in the middle of the night. The next day, at Camborne Magistrates Court, Lawrence was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency and public intoxication. The suspect explained that as he was passing an allotment on his way home from a drinking session when he decided to stop, "You know how a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around for miles or at least I thought there wasn't anyone around," he stated. Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his pressing need. "Guess I was really into it, you know?," he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an approaching police car and was unaware of his audience until P C Brenda Taylor approached the side of his car. P C Brenda Taylor evidence was as follows : "It was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said P C Taylor. "I walked up to Lawrence and he's just banging away at this pumpkin." P C Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence ... I said: "Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin??" He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he looked me straight in the face and said: "A pumpkin? Shit... is it midnight already?" The Courtroom erupted with laughter, the Magistrates could not contain their mirth and deferred sentencing until someone can be serious
  12. But assume that they must have some new evidence to take forward?
  13. Out of interest how high can they go with these appeals? With both developments, we've seen and heard this all before -waiting for the first brick to be laid
  14. Peter Reid told it better
  15. Don't tell me that this backward City might actually be encouraging a sporting development !!
  16. I think Timothy means as in, how many times has he made reference to how good "he is". More and more quotes since being with us referring to me rather than us
  17. Round pegs in square holes again? Don't know why we need El Abd in with the defence, they were much settled as a three before he was chucked in
  18. Both Correct Tranmere won there in the league cup in 1973 but never played there since
  19. Name the FIVE French players that have scored 50 or more Premier League goals? What footballer, who is currently playing in the Premier League has played in all four divisions in England, the Conference, the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup ? Which team has won every time that they have played away at Arsenal? Who has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League but been on the losing side twice? Name the THREE players who have come on as a substitute, scored, and never played for England again? Which THREE players have played in the Old Firm derby, Manchester derby and Merseyside derby? Which two league teams - one from England and one from Scotland - don't include the letters a, b, c, d or e in their names? Who are the lowest ranked international team?
