  1. Might just be losing my marbles, but I'm sure we've never had a 7.45pm kick off at the Reebok before? Summat rings a bell about the planning for the stadium with traffic etc meant that we had to kick off at 8, but there again I might have just imagined it.

     

    Or perhaps the TV company dictated the kick off time?

  2. They do Cassie, and if you give them a bell beforehand they'll give you a tour of the factory!

     

    Is it the owner of Morgan who will refuse to sell a car to someone if he doesn't like them? I'm sure he refused a big name celeb a few years ago.

  3. It's a sign of a good upbringing to hold doors open, offer seats etc for other folk. The guidelines are basically women pregnant or not should be offered a seat followed by elderly gentlemen. The holding of doors can be done for anyone but the seat guideline applies.

     

    It's when you hold a door open or offer a seat and don't get a thank you that really pisses me off. I tend to shout THANK YOU very loudly at them.

  4.  

     

    Saw him at the comedy store in Manc, free entry.

     

    About 2 months later he was on live at the Apollo and has got more popular since there.

     

    Will have a look how much he is charging for his next gig, has to be worth a go.

     

    I saw Micky Flanagan at The Lowry at the back end of last year and the programme on Saturday night is the OUT OUT Tour which is excellent.

     

    I think he's now doing the MEN at about £35 a ticket.

  5. I've been working tonight and just watched it on the iplayer. If you only want to watch the bit about Fab then go to 1:18 but you really should watch the whole programme.

     

    We were talking about Fab tonight at work and the triage nurse I was working with just happened to mention that he was registered as a patient at the practice she works at. Small world eh?

  6.  

     

    But isn't every comedian the same but with different jokes/gags etc, I mean if Chubby Brown took a break and came back, he'd still do racist jokes, if Bernard Manning came back alive, he'd still do racist jokes, if Frankie Boyle took a break, he'd be the same controversial person, Michael Mcintyre would be his jolly self, etc etc,

     

    There were loads of new stuff in that tonight, but with classics and what he's known for mixed in but used different, not quite sure what he needs to do to be known as doing something different, if he changes his style, doesn't mention family, doesn't mention things used in everyday life and things in the past, it's not Peter Kay.

     

    Diddles is talking sense revelation!

  7. Very sad that he has had to retire but health before football every time. He had the makings to go on and be a great footballer and play at a higher level but he's alive and that is what is most important.

     

    How does it work regarding insurance etc as I assume he was insured by the club. Do we get a payout to replace him and who decides his worth?

  8. and the other Stockport bumbandits....

     

    My boss is coming up from that there London next week to see me (I've not actually ever met him, despite having worked for him for 14 mionths now!), so he's coming up by train.

    I suggested he gets off at Stockport, mainly because it's easier for me to drive there rather than Piccadilly etc and I didn't think it fair to subject him to the delights of Burnley on his first trip.

     

    So, where can we go, other than Wetherspoons a for a reasonably quiet chat with some wifi thrown in?

    Preferably fairly close to the station too.

     

    He's coming up to see you after 14 months? You're fired!

     

    If he isnt going to sack you could you not get the train and meet him in Manchester. You can then have a beer with him.

  9. We need to teach the folk on these feral estates to earn their benefits in some way by doing some sort of social work. No work = no benefit. They should also have to keep their houses and gardens in good presentable condition and if this isn't done then they lose their home.

    They see benefits as an easy way of living. 12 months maximum benefits in any five year period should be the way to go.
