Oh yes, we all remember that and some people wonder why we despise them so much - the fact that they tried to drive us out of existence just so they could steal AG is a bloody good reason in my view.
Never forgive, never forget.
As a council, they do have a moral duty to help those less fortunate though, people that are struggling to make ends meet and whose homes could be at risk, that kind of thing.
The g*s meet all these criteria easily.
Personally it`s not for me but unfortunately what TV wants, TV gets.
Give me a test match any day (or a decent competitive 50 over game) - can`t wait for a week Wednesday when the first test starts. Mind you, just watch the weather change for the worse then!
I hope the two that were escorted out by security had their pockets checked and the builders had a look to make sure no equipment was missing.
Mallets, tentpegs, groundsheets, that kind of thing.
In their bitter and twisted minds I`m sure us dirty teds are in some way responsible for England`s exit from the World Cup.
`It must be to do with them teds, stands to reason dunnit? says one of them down the pub` to be greeted with rousing cheers and a hearty rendition of that dirge of theirs from the assembled few.
That`s a given mate. Most of them haven`t got a clue how to use a toilet properly anyway - where they live it`s just something the dog drinks out of and the bath is what you use to do your business.
I expect they`ll say they snuck their own beer in so they`ll be seen as heroes for sticking it to us as our staff would have had to pick up the empty cans.
Anyone want to pop over there and tell them we`ve spent the thick end of £10m in the last fortnight - that`s 25+Tillsons if they can`t visualise such large numbers.
I did like the one who said they could replace their entire squad x 17 if they had 17 million quid. He`s obviously deluded though - it would be more like x 34.
And we have just re-invested around eight Tillsons in a replacement. Unlike them, if a player leaves we get someone in who has a reasonable chance of filling the gap left rather than someone on a free who`s played six games for Dover Athletic or some similar footballing powerhouse.
