wakey

All wasps? Wow. That's fucking waspist that is.

that's the headstone inscription sorted

LustySince63 does have a ring to it ...

No doubt it was ace. Wasn't around for the before, but the after was a shitshow. Overwhelming feeling though is of a massive missed opportunity and virtually bankrupted us in the process. The 2 clubs that came up with us stayed up for donkey's years, and in Spurs' case have been there ever since. On second thoughts, thank fuck we're not Spurs.

That's when my dad started taking me as a little kid, and it's probably the era I have most affection for. But it's a stretch to call it one of our most successful eras. If anything, it was a failure to re-establish ourselves as a top flight team and led directly to the disaster that was the 1980s. A tale of what might have been. Still probably my favourite era though. Magical times, mid to late 70s.

we still talking flags?

Just given me a flashback to how exciting it was the morning your weekly comic popped through the letterbox.

at least you've moved on from selfies

we must be 30 pages deep in utter gash. And completely, utterly, totally fucking pointless.

"really old people having sex"

Bolty's fucking fuming

Filled with dark chocolate Bounty's, panic over. (it's why you can't buy them anymore)

if you rub a balloon on it first it works a treat

depends on the exchange rate

it's £18m nominal value of Twixes, which has sweet fuck all to do with the value of the Twix or what anyone paid for them. Or roughly 22 million Bountys.

neighbour recorded mid 40s in the shade yesterday. Our thermometer said about 49, but it's up against a wall in direct sunlight. Our lass is still convinced our back garden's set a new record for France though. Nice and cool early 30s today, so carefully followed medical advice by not drinking water, cycling up a big fuck off hill with 14% ramps in order to have a couple of 7% beers at the village at the top.

board: here's your budget Fergal / SS: ta nowt else needed.

I said the opposite, but you just had to prod him you scamp.

Fuck's sake. No I don't. Convinced you're just on a wind up now so I'll leave you to it.

pretty sure I've never been on Nuts, and 100% sure I've not been "on your case for a decade or more", but if it rocks your boat to say so, crack on. No intention of wasting time being today's person you try to have a row with, so I'll leave you to it. So yeah, unnecessary virtual handshake accepted.

you seem to think everyone has some form of historical issue with you. Couldn't possibly be that you're pretending to be knowledgeable in areas you're clearly not and boring the fuck out of us all in the process. Doesn't help that you seem keen to pick a row with anyone you can and play the victim.

feels like the blind leading the blind this. The (just shy) of £18m is the nominal value of the shares, nowt to do with what they're worth or what was paid for them. e.g. there were roughly 11.3m new A and C shares issued summer '25 for a total of just over £29m. And the point about the share ownership is broadly correct, though more accurate to say the holders of the A shares and the C shares are the same people (haven't checked if the proportions are the same cos I really can't be arsed). This stuff is tedious as fuck in the first place, but at least be accurate instead of speculating what may or may not be left in the pot. I'll trust they know what they're doing unless something indicates otherwise ... and nowt has so far.

that's a very long way of saying "I don't know"

Not sure it was a passing rivalry. Following each other up in the late 1970s and then all the way down in the 1980s, were some feisty encounters then. Remember my dad saying there was a bit of a rivalry late 1950s too.
