Exactly. This whole tournament is 100% England, with the DNA passed down the generations. All the talk beforehand about being one of favourites, and how this is the 'best squad ever', and if we don't win it's because the manager's shit. (Ok, this time the manager really IS shit, and although he...

There you go @Titanic someone does know what they're talking about! The joys of NSC's, er, 'hive mind'.

In all seriousness @Titanic, although as you can tell I have zero knowledge, I'll be interested to hear how you get on. I didn't realise it was so complex; I thought all you needed was a wooden box to keep the bees in, a hat with a net and a little smoke puffer thing.

Me too! :lolol: I was going to suggest taking out the Langstroth top bars and replacing them with Anderson points, taking care not crush the queen with the jiving treaddle. Failing that talk to Jason Statham, I think he made a film about it. But like you I haven't got a f***ing clue what...

Yes. I wasn't being serious, it was more an aside for vaguely comedic effect.

I know I'm being unduly pessimistic, and I admit Keys is a HUGE twat, ......... but he might be right. Our luck might have run out. Anyway, we'll find out soon enough.

He's turning into football's equivalent of the Stone Roses. Five year gap wasn't it between their first and second albums?

None. I must admit though I've wanted to do what you do, but I'm too scared that in retaliation I'll get even more scam/spam calls. These days I'm the same as @Bombardier: I never answer the phone if I don't recognise the number. If it's important they'll leave a message (and on the landline we...

Since when has 'Behind the Fridge' been a holiday destination? Did you research the names properly before putting them on the post-it notes?

I think I've told this before (but I'll tell it again). When my wife was pregnant with our son, we went to ante-natal classes. One of our fellow classmates was a Chinese lady who lived up our road. My wife knew her to talk to, and told me that her family ran one of the local takeaways, but she...

I agree with you, it IS a number of factors. Without wishing to get into a 'Four Yorkshiremen' type of reverse-boasting I was brought up in a single-parent family on a council estate. We survived on benefits and charity. A lot of others on the estate were also hard-up and obviously no one was...

Interest piqued I did a quick google ..... and I don't know which it was. I do know however that it was introduced in 1932 and was a follow-up product to the Terry's chocolate apple. (There was also a Terry's chocolate lemon for a short time). I also know that Terry's are now owned by Mondelez...

I obviously missed the pre-amble for this, but the Terry's Chocolate orange: plain chocolate or milk chocolate? I love the plain one, but I find the milk one too sugary. And do they still do Old Jamaica? I used to love that, but haven't seen a bar for ages.

Yeah. One more season, then he can go on a free as we've more than had our money's worth from him. Also we'll get a chance to say a proper goodbye to him.

Absolutely. With the wide-outs giving quality ball we'll need a top offense leader to slam dunk them into the goal zone.

I thought it was going to be Bozza telling us off about being rude ...

Elaine always voted for Lucas! Our votes used to cancel each other out! Seriously (and I feel disloyal even saying it), I am considering it. If the opinion polls were predicting a closer national result I'd probably stay tribal and hope we could get the seat back, but as it looks (please God)...

I vote Labour. I always vote Labour/Socialist Labour, however having read the manifestos (ok, the summaries) I was actually most impressed by the (gulp) ...... Greens. Can I vote Green? (Again. I did once back in 1989 in the Euros). As someone else said Labour's was incredibly disappointing...

I tend to agree. For me rightly or wrongly emotionally it does stick in the craw a bit when someone is just parachuted in. They couldn't care less if they were in Brighton, Barnsley, Bridgend or Bridgewater, it's just a means to an end, a base from which to launch/continue their political...

God gives all men all earth to love, But since man’s heart is small, Ordains for each one spot shall prove Beloved over all. Each to his choice, and I rejoice The lot has fallen to me In a fair ground—in a fair ground— Yea, Sussex by the sea! From 'Sussex' by Rudyard Kipling (1902)
