Have been watching RTV and BTs monotonic soporific voice is enough to bore a glass eye to sleep

Cardiff City 'claiming £104m in compensation from Nantes' over Emiliano Sala's tragic death in 2019… https://mol.im/a/13336207 via https://dailym.ai/android I really can't believe this absolutely disgusting behaviour from Cardiff, words just fail me

They mean the sh!houses, probably/ maybe!

I'm heading down that way in a few weeks,going to the Little Big Horn battlefield, don't know why I haven't done it before as it's only an 8 hour drive away from my house. If you think the road to Montana is bad, check out my drive to work, Medicine Hat to Fort Mackay in Alberta, that's mind blowingly boring straight roads, do that trip every 14 days, ugh!

Yep, but the long straight roads here are boring as heck!

I've only ever heard it in Bristol tbh :laugh:, I could still be called that now I guess except nowadays I've got a long beard to go with the long hair

Nice, I used to like the pubs around there, especially the Half Moon ( I was a jitter who went in the biker side of the pub) many years ago now, ahhh memories is all I have left :laugh:

You must be about the same age as my elder brother, he went to Sodbury Grammar and he said the same, but lads my age, I'm in my early 60s now, definitely more Gas than City unfortunately Lucky you

I was born there many moons ago, moved to Winterbourne in 1973

Yep, I went to college/ work with alot of Yate boys they were nearly all Gas, I'm in my 60s, used to drink with them in the 002 and The Tern, I'm from Frampton/ Winterbourne and it was the same there at the time, no idea now as I left Bristol 40 years ago

I thought the same, if they weren't there then we're both losing it! :laugh:

I remember seeing Motorhead there for 50p I think it was, saw quite a few good rock bands in Tiffany's, still have my membership card in old wallet somewhere at home!

I'm off to buy an ounce in an hours time once the shop opens here :laugh:

I got up at 4:30am (-7 hours time difference) to watch this, I should've just stayed in bed!

It was at that Liverpool game that I learned to stand in front of the barricades in the East End and not behind them, couldnt breathe!

Just stroking Tinnions ego here methinks. He'll be back on X (Twitter) tonight

Worst Christmas Day for me was 2017, North of Fort McMurray, woke up with my head and neck feeling like it was on fire, went to medics at work and it turned out to be shingles, the pain got worse over the following days along with the leaking pustules etc. Best bit about it was that it was -45C outside so when the pain got too much I just doused them with water and went outside to literally freeze my head. Best one for me now is just any time I get to spend with the Mrs and our kids/ grandkids

Love sprouts, they also make the best bubble and squeek

:laugh:, unfortunately Northern Alberta oilfields, big oil doesn't give a fig about work/ life balance, we're all just a number to make profit for the shareholders. This is my last few months before I retire in March thank goodness

I've already had my Christmas dinner on 10th December as I'm now working away from home until I fly home on the 27th. Trick for keeping turkey juicy is to raise it in the pan on a rack then pour chicken stock into the pan, it then evaporates into the turkey whilst it's cooking

This could turn into a classic thread

The brains of the operation

I'm going with the "tecknical" director judging by the "disapoint" spelling

2004, I went to work in Bremen, Germany, on the weekends used to either go watch Werder or do the touristy things. One Saturday me and my mate decided to visit St Petri Dom the big cathedral in the city and climb the towers 250 odd steps to get a better vista of the city, as we climbed the last step to enter the viewing area, right in front of us emblazoned in big letters was " Germany 1 England 5" considering this was a few years after that game I was surprised it hadn't been removed, still it made us laugh and of course we posed for photos :laugh:

Could have our badge but robin sitting on a Christmas pudding, too easy for the merchandise team to figure it out though!
