If ever anyone showed they are living in the past, it's the F.A. The game needs a radical overhaul but the FA don't want to expose anyone to mistakes, including themselves. There is the attitude that...
Every time I see Seb Coe, he talks about "a major cultural event taking place in this country in August". I always thought the Olympic Games was a sporting event where participants tried to...
On my way back from York this afternoon, I stopped at Hartshead Services on the M62. I went to look at the memorial to those who lost their lives in the coach bomb in Feb. 1974. One of those was a...
On 6th April 1974, ABBA won the Eurovision with Waterloo. Chelsea drew 1-1 with Leeds Utd in the usual fisitcuffs between them. An IRA bomb went off in central Manchester and the city centre was...
What a bunch of two-faced hypocrites professional footballers are. This game shows just what a load of 4rse holes they are. Start with Kenny Dalgleish. A fantastic player in his time who still...
I want to thank those who responded. Even those who clearly think I'm crazy. Freedom of speech. Nothing wrong with that. Freedom to smoke? Not for sanctimonious tw4ts eh? The link below is my latest...
All kinds of comments are made about the dangers of smoking and in the previous thread on this I mentioned the historical argument. I make no apology for mentioning it again, as follows; In 1949, a...
I notice the current poll is running at 77% against. That is similar to the poll we had in Manchester a couple of years ago. Nobody wants toll roads. We pay through the nose for being motorists as it...
Are we going to see a minutes' silence at football grounds this week? It seems to be the norm these days. Everyone has to act as though a close member of the family has died. Sad business for sure but...
If I was that underdog on the TV ad, I'd be suing the medical people just now cos he's been in fkn plaster for the last 3 years! Never mind the claim. What about the treatment? Doh!
Just been on Red Spotted Hankey. The fare to Plymouth from Manchester, one way is £140. I could drive there and back for less than that. Headline fares on the site are advertised as £5,...
Really enjoyed it. No problems. Went round in 83. Had a birdie in that and could have had a couple more with a bit of luck. Still, not far off my handicap so looking forward to next time.
There were some articles in the papers this week about the email that's doing the rounds about childhood in the 1950's. I was one of those children, but I'd hate to go back there. Sure, we did lots of...
Here are some things. 1. The Weather Forecast. 2. Traffic news. 3. Football pundits. 4. The importance of religion. I'm sure lots of people have their own favourites. What are yours?
Did you know that since 2006, some car manufacturers have been selling cars with smart keys but not telling the buyer? The key is chipped up and can be examined to trace the cars movements if there is...
When they talk about Milan on the football/sports progs, it becomes Meelan. It's never that on anything else. It's just Milan. The same with the name David. On football progs it becomes Darveed; and...
