does his registered email on nuts start with an m? anyway, never ending arguements will not get you banned on here, otherwise it'd end up like nuts quoting 12 posts in a reply might though no one is re-reading all that it's just noise

Did he find one? If not, go back in a few months, I hear there is one moving into the area shortly... 😉

I’m starting to see why

Charnley was very much the hero of the most notorious story to involve him. As one of Partick’s assorted rogues and rapscallions, presided over by enduringly oddball manager John Lambie (a man who once hurled a dead pigeon at a player, and dropped a medicine ball on Charnley’s head), Chic and teammates were training in Ruchill Park – not-so affectionately known as ‘dogshit park’. The club’s lack of a training ground meant they had to train on whatever loosely-termed greenery they could find, leaving the players open to the occasional interaction with their adoring public. On this particular morning in 1990, they met with a torrent of abuse from some local ne’er do wells. Charnley invited them to take their leave and to come back in an hour if they wanted to continue the ‘conversation’; the duo took him at his word, and returned a short while later with a carving knife, an Alsatian and a samurai sword. At this point, most of the squad wisely took a powder. “I’ll argue with a player all night,” said Lambie, “but I’m not arguing with some fucking nutter with a sword”. Charnley and a couple of teammates however, remained to face down the would-be ronin. When the dog blinked first and scarpered, causing a distraction, Charnley’s mates acted quickly to take down the man with the knife. That left Charnley with the swordsman, and he bravely charged towards him, inexplicably taking a stray traffic cone as a makeshift weapon, only to see a flash of the blade and blood pouring from his hand. That his assailant dropped the weapon in the process allowed Charnley to deliver unto him an absolute pasting and drive him off, but he still bears the scar to this day. Just another day at Partick Thistle.

its fans fault its got to this stage mate, we had mass protests when they announced the super league same should and still needs to happen over this shit, it's destroying the game

Blackburn Rovers

My best memory was the Cross Cup Final between Little Hulton and Daisy Hill at Walker Institute. The ground has now gone of course. Little Hulton had Mudassar Nazar and Daisy Hill Javed Miandad. I can’t remember the scores but I know that both dominated both the batting and bowling. Daisy Hill won. Again, the brown outfield is a vivid memory. Both players went on to play for Pakistan and had a record 451 run partnership together.

The Oval that photo I was playing for Bradshaw U-15s that year. Was like playing on concrete. I was a 12 year old fast bowler nearly 6 foot tall which was why I was playing above my age group. Got formally warned and pulled out of bowling against Eagley or Heaton for slinging it past batsman’s heads. Not my fault guv, it’s the hard pitch. Honest

You say if folk don't want to read your posts then use the ignore function Why don't you follow your own advice and ignore Masi who may or may not be an imaginary person from Nuts You'll be doing us all a favour

More blitz spirit from the boomers who never lived through it

Am I reading this thread all wrong? Folk like me remember 1976 as hot. And it went on for a long time. And it was quite a bad drought This current heatwave is hotter. And a lot more humid. But not as long. So far Am I missing something? Maybe I’m “too old”? Or is this the new politics thread where folk argue about fuck all that’s actually important? Anyway you didn’t just stick to the seats of your Dad’s car they burned your legs and left a fucking red mark 😁

Guarantee most of the players we sign will not have been mentioned; and when it does inevitably leak, the deal will have already been finalised.

Yeah but all squirrels are cute, I could never kill one. I gave it all up when I learned about how killing rabbits would lead to the starvation of their young and also how some birds have such a family dynamic they mourn like we do when one is killed. Not for me now, death and pain we all experience so that's why I chose not to bring that on any other soul anymore. But to kill intelligent animals just seems worse to me, must be getting soft in my old age.

I follow a couple of people on Facebook from America who are over here right now and they can't cope with the heat. They get mid to high 40's in summer but they get respite in their AC homes. While over here l, they don't feel the need to dip their toes in the the local canal or drown in a reservoir like in the good old days 50 fucking years ago. Honest to God it's insane how much reverence we give to some older folk who do nothing but talk their younger generations down. Those younger generations will never receive such riches, on such a scale anyway.

She was tasty in The Beverly Hillbillies to be fair.

3 years 6 months for the bloke who violently assaulted 2 female police officers and a member of the public. Not sure if they took his culture into consideration when giving him a piss poor sentence.

I can imagine, please don't bring them here

I see the man baby is filling his nappy again and asking for 67 billion to help with the war in Iran that he’s now won 14 times since day 2. Only the most puddled, retarded Trump nonces can be backing this now?

Our NHS is easily the greatest institution this country has ever produced. Yes it's a money pit, but Christ it's the envy of the world. If you think changing things would stop the corruption and hemorrhaging of funds at the top you want to see the state of USA and the sheer scale of corruption and profits made by the big pharma and insurances companies. It's utterly mind blowing what goes on there.

remember, if you want to not see S̶l̶u̶f̶ someones posts (i.e ignore) , click/press on your username (top right), click/press on ignored users and put the name of the poster you don't want to see anymore in the box.

Would that be the TA that would have been immediately mobilised if the shit had hit the fan, or another TA? I'm guessing that you haven't served, either as a Reg or TA.

If its increased to -24 it might give us a chance of staying above them 😀

Reading this has finally convinced me to listen to her indoors and finally retire at 70, that and visiting yet another pal with terminal cancer lying in bed in a grey room in a hospital. Someone offered to buy Dimron Towers last week and we've had an offer accepted for a modest house near Whitby, so I intend to get a new(ish) dog and enjoy my remaining mobility before Mother Nature takes it off me. Still a bit scary though

Small world, my daughter went to Uni in Sheffield (still lives there), lived round the corner from the Crosspool for a short while and went in now and then. Lives near Hillsborough now

Hot water bottle in the freezer, for once a daft "life hack" tip found whilst doomscrolling has actually come in handy.

@athywhite1958 - sorry to hear things have got worse for you pal. Good on you for opening up but can't imagine how tough it must be. I know I'll be speaking for others on here when I say you'd never be fucking burden to anyone on an away day. Pitch side view and skipping all the cues. I'll happily come along with you another time. Always harder for folk who are fiercely independent to let got an take the support. Can understand why you'd be reluctant. But it's there in heaps if you need it.

Not the best photo but not much green on the outfield

That's fucking horrible Ours was a stray for the first two years of her life. Fuck knows how she survived as she's the most timid creature going Saw pics of her when the rescue place took her in and she was lucky to be alive So happy to have a shit cat

At the risk of starting something, didn't these rules already exist just in a slightly lesser form? And nobody had really noticed? My guess is that with a bit of creative accounting we'll be largely unaffected.

Still going and thankfully a lot better these days, went a bit wayward for a few years but now seems to be back on track.

Indeed. What Test cricket is all about and why the 5 day format for me is still the most fascinating

You can stick your Queen Elizabeth crockery right up your arse along with your modern day Werthers. Nothing later than George VI here and barley sugars by the bagful

No, 76 was a great summer for all involved. That has about as much relevance to June in 26 as the cold winter of 82. Folk who should know better just can't help themselves and look and sound a bit silly.

Good day today. Decent bowling at last Superb century from Duckett albeit lucky after the dropped catch NZ fell into the same bowling trap as us and were shite Love their keeper btw. Properly restricts us by standing up to the stumps Got to get a big score as that pitch is going to be a mare towards the end when we bat last

Thanks for that... the displacement from what I know is the scary bit but I've been dropping into the local pub as our caravan is nearby. Spent a couple of hours at the hospital having the criach with a mate dying from cancer today and I'm off to recover his various personal odds and sods from his flat tomorrow... as you say if we don't do it now we ever will

Well that’s balls then

Absolutely hammering down now. Very good. Apart from shops and some offices, Air Con definitely isn't "EVERYWERE". Anyway, you old cunts can argue otherwise all you want and pretend you're war heroes, but it's still hotter today than it was then.

If those comments about Watson are entirely how he feels, then presumably we have other midfielders on the radar. The level he has been playing at is higher that what our current ones have been. They may be seen as capable of stepping up and preferred starters, but I'm far from convinced that is the case. I'm intrigued to know how the pitch to the player went, as I doubt SS convinced him to quit the SPL with "I see you as one for the future..." Can't help feeling SS is taking pressure off-particularly with his comments about Conway.

Sentencing guidelines - community service up to 5 years maximum. Given he’s spent almost a year on remand, 3.5 years seems at the upper end of those guidelines. Or you could just tell yourself it’s because he’s Asian if you like.

Reserved an £89 Ibis on an industrial estate for Swansea. Wasn’t going to bother with Pompey but 2 nights in the Best Western at Gunwharf Quay for £70 has changed my mind. Who said romance was dead?

It's like wading through glue on here now. It really is

Yeah but but but it was hot a couple of times since 1905. Thinking our climate isn’t changing is just another attention seeking position taken by folk who don’t actually understand anything unless a screechy Twitter account tells them how to think.

I think if you look at the squad as it stands today, keeping us in the division would be an achievement for SS's coaching and Fergal's recruitment. We've sent back most of our best players and the next worst team in the division finished 20+ points ahead of us last year. I'm not saying we can't hope for more, but it's a big job with not much margin for error.

I'm definitely in the 21st will do camp. Iles and a couple of people on the Team Talk podcast not long after promotion were suggesting we should be aiming higher, top half even, but I'd be more than happy to build slowly.

I've not paid much attention to these new Squad Cost Rules but taking a brief look, basing any sort of relative cap on revenue generated seems to be similar to me to the issues I've always had with the existing PSR rules in that it just protects the status quo for the big boys that either already have huge revenue streams or their owners can artificially generate them through sponsorships and money moving amongst their different entities. Any cap like that, whilst I understand the desire to protect clubs from rogue ownership, only ever seems to limit competition in my eyes.

If they can get wound up enough to try a pitch invasion to beat to death an 8 foot Lion they can definitely get wound up by a song about SJM .

In that time we've become a nation of little Englanders, painting roundabouts, hoisting flags and abusing anyone who looks different, whereas we should be in Europe, shedding our outdated colonial views and ways and driving real change and improvements.
