Personally I've been hugely relieved. The last thing I want to do lately is yomp along to the Amex to watch another masterclass of slowly passing along the halfway line Anyway, both teams to score + Kane to score + Engand win = £33. Covers tomorrows beer tokens. Lovely.

Well I quite enjoyed the public monstering that grasping slimeball Hebblethwaite got today. "Are you in this mess because you don't know what you're doing, or are you just a shameless criminal ?" Won't mean much in the great scheme of things unless he is forced to resign, but it was good to see...

It stems from a (frankly surreal) encounter at the first public inquiry, which I attended, when BHA were seeking planning permission to build a stadium on some designated green belt land at Falmer. On one memorable afternoon of the proceedings, an independent ecologist had carried out a study...

Hoping Poland make it through. Would love to see Jakub in a World Cup.

And I bet The Power of the Dog is absolutely all over this borefest. Without a doubt, comfortably the DULLEST film I have seen in years. I was chewing my own arm off at the shoulder after half an hour of that dreck.

The best thing about the Oscars is that it's always on at don't-give-a-fook'O-clock, so completely passes me by. I wish ALL award ceremonies were on in the small hours, by law.

I can't decide whether I want to see Wales get HUMPED tonight, or in the playoff final. Either would be hugely amusing. If they got through and played the scotch, then seeing one of them fail at the last hurdle would also be fun.

Someone who shoots at goal ? He'd never fit in here. I guess we'll drum those fancy ideas out of him in pre-season training though. He'll soon be Lallanaring it all over the shop.

No, you're missing the point. Animals do not have the cognitive processes of (most) human beings. They can be trained, but they are NOT as intelligent. They don't know "right" from "wrong" when it comes to the essentials - ie if you get suddenly angry, please don't bite that babies face...

Indeed. Just look at the House of Commons.

That could be a whole new thread - whats the most devastated you've ever been after a match. I think that Notts County game is up there for me. I just felt so absolutely sick to the stomach that we'd got within 90 minutes of the top flight, and blown it. In our scabby pink crabstick kit. Yes...

.....who cares who's to blame ? By then its always too late, followed by the predictable but useless "disbelief" from the owners. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference to a dead or ravaged toddler does it. Just REMOVE the risk. I would be deeply unhappy if a dog, pretty much most breeds of...

Perhaps I'm not making myself clear. I don't CARE about staffs looking cute on Crufts. I don't CARE about them being "considered" the best breeds around children and toddlers. And its not just staffs either. I simply don't trust a dumb animal with a brain the size of a golf ball and jaws that...

The idiots are the people who don't recognise that staffies, greyhounds, labs, rotts, bulldogs, whatever - they are ALL unpredictable animals, who have powerful jaws with sharp teeth, and who can turn in an instant with catastrophic life-changing consequences. YOU might trust them to be 100%...

Blimey, well remembered! Sadly though, Bruce flew out the back door one afternoon, never to return. Casper was/is the replacement. Unlike Bruce, who was from a pet shop, I hand-reared this one so he's far more tame. If anyone else wants a bit of hand-rearing, I'm usually available on Thursday...

Well...can't be ALL bad

In fairness, he did conduct a hunger strike outside the Foreign Office. He's clearly not going to get the remote back till around 2025 at the earliest though.

I was trying to remember that saying for my last reply :lolol: That old cockatiel is still very spritely, which gives me heart. He hears the car on the driveway when I get home, so the first thing I hear every time I put the key in the door is him screeching. Then when I walk into the room, he...

Indeed. I remember my mum and dad saying to me once when I was in my teens looking for work with an uncertain future "just remember, whatever happens in your life, whatever bumps in the road, you will always, always have a roof over your head here". I just found that incredibly reassuring, and...

Wide words. Cats are basically @rseholes who despise their owners. Any affection they show is entirely fake - they only do it to get fed. Dogs on the other hand, are thick. Their love and trust is utterly unconditional, you only have to see the reaction when you walk in the house after being...
