yeah I'm bored and tinkering

they destroyed the nazis it wasn't in vain at all

I'm with LW saying the 80's, but that's our era when we started boozing/clubbing it etc Your era is the 90's, great era don't get me wrong. The older chaps on here will say the 70's when their drinking days and Scamps started. Ultimately, the time each person started boozing and going to clubs etc is their personal and greatest era/decade......though for tunes and E's......the late 80's will never be matched 😉

One in 5 people of working age don't work and are therefore claiming benefit of some sort. Something needs sorting to make that situation better. It would be great if things were back like the 60's where a labourer could earn enough on his own to raise a couple of kids and have his tea on the table when he got in but that is long gone. Add to that in order to survive, both parents need to work and many get benefits even though they are working because living costs have far outstripped wage growth. Meanwhile there have never been so many millionaires in this country and yet trickle down economics doesn't seem to be working, who'd have thunk it.

no decade will ever beat the 90s was the golden age of everything

The rise of Islam is as far right as you can get.

"Nic - A Wanderersways Tale In the flickering half-light of a forgotten London theatre, Nic Crawley forlornly offers ice creams and overpriced snacks to customers who barely acknoweldge his existence, his dejected voice a distant background echo amongst the murmur of of interval chit chat. Once, he had dreamed of soliloquies and spotlights, adoring crowds leaping to their feet applauding after another flawless delivery of theatrical perfection. Of stage doors beseiged by fans desperate for a glimpse of their thespian hero in his bespoke winkle pickers and silk cravat. Instead, his only stage is the threadbare carpets of a theatre in dire financial straits. The narrow aisles and crowded lobbies his only audience. Stubborn vanilla stains on his nylon waistcoat and trousers are the only costume in his wardrobe. He mutters the lines from the plays under his breath as he dreams of being plucked by the director and thrust into the action, knowing his pallid skin and slight hunch render such dreams impossible. But could he be an unlikely hero? New hope is born when the girl with hazel eyes starts a job selling programmes and romance blossoms. Her club foot and withered hand make her a perfect match not only for Nic, but for his lead role as Richard III in the play he wrote at universty - "Diversity & The Plantageneats". Has Nic's time come to emerge from the shadows....?"

Me and Mrs FW also doing the last 3 in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney 🏏

Is that a theatrical euphemism? A sort of backstage Polari, so that those in the know talk about dick sizes? Someone boasts about their Henry VIII then they really are a lucky lad. Poor old Henry I keeps very quiet.... I've heard, on the grapevine, that some new Rivington Pike offerings will be published in time for pulping at Xmas again this year. You can't fault him for effort - but no AI involved. He's old skool.

I for one am enjoying this attendnoncery spin off chat

I really don't think that is what he's saying

The "best era" is always when you were young and had barely any financial/health worries.

My WhatsApp has enough on it to justify castrating all males at birth 🙃

There was a handful of counterprotestors there. Don't know where this idea that a load of not rights turned up. There were the odd incidents, but these seem to be largely between villa supporters and Palestinian protestors. Of course that will be portrayed as far right bigots turning up for a ruck with well behaved, genuinely aggrieved protestors. Got tasty at half time too. Police have questions to answer over why these protestors were allowed so close- essentially at the turnstiles. The local pro-terror fuckwits are still out and about at this very moment.

But the difference is the West Ham fan can take his shirt off. I posted before about a Polish family in Bradford who are being forced to move out if their estate due to attacks from locals. My missus is showing folk round the house tomorrow. She has to put up the ‘barricades’ when she is finished. Ironically the only families looking round are Asian which does not match the locals. It is crazy as the Estate always seems pretty mixed.

reminds me of another Instagram comic I follow who did this recently

It makes a difference to the planning of the fixture though. And there's a reason why some club take an initial allocation.

I didn't

Let's be right, men are horrible bastards

That's all very nice. Just not for me mate. There's just some arenas in life that should be left to women. A bloke shouldn't be changing another mons kids nappies/pull ups either. Maybe I'm old school but whenever I saw a fella working at my lads nursery it just never felt right. Why on earth a fella wants to work with babies and toddlers is beyond me anyway, get a proper job ya weirdo. I see nursery staff simply extending their maternal instincts to others. Don't get that with blokes. This is a discussion that should be happening away from the sex abuse thing above btw, I probably shouldn't conflate the two.

Ace seems to be the biggest seller in town

That’s your body’s immune system fighting it pal and building a response against it. It’s not given you flu, it’s attacked you and your body’s fighting back and building itself strong against the virus Think 1970s. In football terms.Luton have piled out of Trinity Street, marched down Manny Road, given you a clubbing, and fucked off leaving you blubbing like a right Mary Anne. Millwall turn up two weeks later and you’ve learned a lesson and fucked them off as far as Darwen with their tails between their legs Have the jab next year and you’re taking the Stretford End on solo

BREAKING NEWS: VACCINES MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL ILL FOR A SHORT WHILE (as has always been the case since their invention over 200 years ago)

I just want my lad to witness a promotion. Don't really care what happens or who plays for us after that. I definitely will in the future, but the absolute focus has to be to get out of this mind-numbingly rancid division.

That’s giving the area more credit than it deserves I’m in and around Oldham every week as it’s where I live. I wouldn’t even drive through there these days.

Love your EXACT distance of 219 miles You have a good one as well pal I don’t mind a good discussion with folk as long as it’s based on experiences

Lit can happen in 24 years. i went 2weeks ago and it’s the absolute pits

Around 2001 I invited a couple of community workers wit their group of young people (who were on the verge of criminality) to come to Hindley prison to meet some prisoners who would tell them that prison life is shit. The cons who 'worked' for me told them in no uncertain terms exactly what it was like and scared the shit out of them. I got a phone call later that day from the Glodwick staff to say that they had been handed 8 stolen bank cards on the mini bus going home. Glodwick youth were feral, but, they listened to what they were told and decided crime wasn't for them

Glodwick is fucking disgusting.

I’m convinced folk on here have chosen careers in ticketing on the basis of my thrilling titbits over the years.

SB said tonight that the toughsheet fella (Dougie) has said he will sponsor the ground for as long as needed but will happily step aside for a bigger sponsor.

I get your point, however….. There are areas around here, that I’m sure that @miamiwhite would agree with, as he’s regularly working there, that, if I had brown skin, I would class as a no go area. They are maybe simply not as vocal

Home game get train to lime street and I will chauffeur ya

Quite a valid point tbf.

Gaslighting at its finest

David Ray wanted to say more but he had to hold himself back

So some of the most notorious groups of hooligans in football have been allowed to Villa park for decades yet all of a sudden they’ve banned one teams fans who happen to be Jewish.

Great. We’ll do it. I’m sure it’ll be rough. But if we can get some food, have a walk a round. Then the we can agree that the No Go Area argument is bullshit. I’ve lived & worked in other ‘shitholes’. I’m not the sheltered leftie you think I am 😉

I'd say there's plenty of areas an open Jew or dude wearing Isreal type stuff wouldn't be able to walk freely in. Not sure I'd be wandering round Bermondsey in a West Ham shirt either mind.

Piss off you lemon ☺

I know exactly what you meant you chauvinist pig ☺

The thing I'd dispute there is that the fans were banned because of a campaign by Islamist thugs They got banned because of the actions of Jewish thugs

We had quite a few arrests in the COVID season when there were no fans!

Dempsey for his graft, he's not as talented as the other 2 but their talent only shows once every Preston Guild otherwise games just pass them by. At least with Dempsey he's going to put the effort in.

Probably just society which is in the fucking gutter. Polarised, divided and full of hate. Wasters crippling the economy. Migration out of control. Cost of living and taxes and poverty through the roof. The pound weaker that it's ever been and national debt and bond markets out of control. NHS a complete money pit and one big disaster. So yeah he probably means all that. And it rains more too.

Refugees are welcome.

Think it's the most devastated I've ever been about a player leaving when Curcic left. Turned out well in the end like.

Letter that often does the rounds on the hard left and people's perception these days In 1962 I was a Conservative. I believed privilege could only be justified by service, high taxes on very high incomes were necessary to prevent an entrepreneurial economy becoming a rentier economy, and Keynesian growth would finance public service improvements and a welfare state that steadily reduced inequality. I was suspicious of ideologically driven, large-scale change. These were the mainstream policies of the Macmillan government at the time. In 60 years I have moved from centre right to hard left without changing my opinions. Dr Stephen Watkins, Oldham, Lancashire

We've never been out of it IMO. I expect us to be in the 'chasing pack' until the Christmas period is over and then really throw down the gauntlet to all these minnows who are privileged just to be able to both host and visit us.
