  1. Jimmy Carr: Natural Born Killer

    Now, I like Jimmy Carr. He’s very, very funny in my opinion. Pushes the boundaries, doesn’t give a fuck, takes comedy where it should maybe go

    This is utter, utter shite. Not remotely funny. Nothing to make me laugh at all. Real shame

    Leave this sort of challenging cancel culture thing to Gervais. He’s way better at it

    Wife's grandad had a merc, and it seemed to float over bumps; it was really smooth and comfy.

    Her parents have a b class merc, and it is obviously good, but is a much firmer ride than the older one.

    I am not sure the AMG line or VRS will be particularly soft riding for your folks tbh but might be fine if you avoid the plethora of potholes these days.

    The Merc looks nicer inside and out but the Skoda seems to have a good reputation for reliability.

     

    Aye. Both are firm rides but the Merc seats are way softer. Only driven Skodas a couple of times but those seats are hard

  3. Favourite Bolton keeper - Seamus - edges out Barry Siddall. Jussi was class but didn’t have to cope with the pitches that they did

    Favourite international keeper- Buffon

    Best saves- Jussi at Blackburn

    Iconic moment- Branagan vs Reading

    Icon- Schmeicel - took keeping to another level

  4. It’s a great idea but, realistically, with the approach from the station, the hotel entrance, the car park, is there enough room for one that’s worth it. Not against the idea at all, just wondering if it’s workable. And then add in GMP…

  5. Great performance. But not quality enough to finish them off. I’ll take a positive though. We didn’t do our usual - sell loads of tickets for a big game in front of a nearly full house and completely capitulate

    Happy Clapper in me says Derby are more than capable of completely fucking up their run in. Them and Peterborough took advantage when we threw away our games in hand. Both are now having a bit of a wobble. Reckon its final day stuff this

    I do miss Youri but, to be honest, he got a bit tedious towards the end

    Have to admit that by the time that he disappeared I’d come to the conclusion that he was a massive bullshitter after a load of conflicting stuff on some posts that I was discussing with him. Cant remember what they were so can’t refer back to them

    If he really was genuine then I hope that he’s OK

    Guess that depends on your age

     

    Yep. And your dad. I grew up in Sharples and my dad in Smithills. Short hop over the hill to Blackburn. He never missed the chance to take me to Ewood from a very early age. That promotion game we were on a dad and lad ticket in their riverside stand. Blackburn always a rival for me from that day

    Turning point: The Bomb and the Cold War on Netflix is an excellent watch.

    Finished that last night. Brilliant. Scary to think about how much stuff I was oblivious to. Particularly in the 80s. Also how much I didn’t know about Putin’s rise to power

    Pre internet, so schools playground talk was we will do it next season ( 12 years old) no idea about pubs obviously. We did. However as of 1976 we went on a run of games where we couldn’t score. And lost games to relegation threatened teams.

     

    Might be remembering wrong but Greaves got a fair ride from the Burnden crowd in Div2. Think it was a “here we go again” attitude. Only turned nasty second season in Div 1

    Foden really is the bollocks

    He really is. Just hope that Southgate doesn’t piss about and puts him in as a starter rather than trying to fit him in or use him as a sub

    the Morrisons Rhubarb pies are Amazing 

    but like you say its Hit and Miss if they have them in

    They are always by the front door and never in the bakery section so are always gone early

  12. Absolutely love rhubarb and Morrisons do a decent rhubarb pie but it’s hit and miss when they have it in stock. Better with crumble though

    Apple pie every time. Never crumble. Hot or cold. Custard, double cream or ice cream. Park Cakes near me in Ashton have a factory shop that knocks out rejects for £1. Lovely!!
