Oh no I'm being drawn into debate with Alf Misanthrope. I consider that you are making-up about him shouting abuse, and that he was a "dicker" for the PIRA (no account suggests this, and I saw a photo of his coffin with only a football shirt on it) and thirdly you made-up that I read an IRA...
I have made a rare exception and unblocked your comment; I note that you say nothing about the official Police Service Northern Ireland (not known for their republican sympathies) report. I have never read "an phoblact" in my life as I do not believe in terrorism, but nor do I believe in state...
Just a quick Google search revealed this:
"In October 2008, the Police Service of Northern Ireland investigation concluded that Jonathan Holden's gun (GPMG) required 9 lbs of pressure to pull the trigger, and that the soldier's account of the events was highly unlikely. It described the...
So it appears that only regular Joe England fans have gone to Russia, you know the ones who aren't going to get p1ssed-up and sing pathetic songs in the local square about German bombers and not surrendering to the IRA before chucking the furniture about. And funnily enough there are no...
Yeah but apart from the aggro there was a fair chance that if you got arrested you would be treated correctly. I wouldn't want to be an England fan in the hands of the Russian police, legal or prison system.
The reputation of England fans abroad is now less about violence (fans of other countries are now better at that) but more about extreme twattery. Look at the Amsterdam match in March and the obnoxious behaviour by the canal (see YouTube). If England fans act in this usual extremely twattish...
So it's better that with thousands of people struggling with City Thameslink's lack of service that 12 carriages are taken out of action. And better when there's a lack of carriages when getting to and from Falmer?
Agreed Wilko; I've been on it 3 times due to visitors staying with us and they all loved it, as did I. But hey, I don't want to spoil the moaners fun...
I was having a drink after work with a German, a Croatian, an Italian, an Aussie, a Gibraltarian and an Englishman and whilst no one wished the nice young couple ill-will, there was a general feeling of bemusement at how in the 21st century so much importance was being placed on a third tier...
It's simple to be part of the solution: instead of walking past a plastic bottle or a can lying in the street pick it up and put it in the nearest recycling crate. I do it every day.
"The amount of chewing gum spat out on the streets beggars belief and as it can’t be cleaned up it makes the pavements look like a dirty dalmatian"
It can be cleaned off - Brighton Council bought a machine for doing just that but stupidly sold it a few years ago...probably cost cutting
