  1. Have they got listed building status? A blessing and a curse. They might be able to preserve a few metres of the timbered facade. I suppose any building site in a city has some value but it's in prime retail shed and workshop territory and not a posh flat location. Obviously worth more than the repair costs, mind..
  2. Like it. As an English teacher I'm going to steal, rob, swipe, rip off, pinch, poach, borrow, and liberate that.
  3. I think you should cut him some slacks. Gawd, I can see we're all bored waiting for the next game; how are we going to manage the summer? Endless transfer talk, no doubt.
  4. Hmm, I wonder who they're playing? ;-) Good luck and hope your record continues.
  5. Nope. And yes, if you are fit and reasonably young it's quicker to walk/jog. But some aren't so young, have health issues or even Sunday footie injuries! So Tony F is indeed right, and now the club is re-established I think the terms should be reinstated. Maybe it'll have to wait until ground expansion... but it must be a good thing to get people out of their cars.
  6. I'm cackling like a mad witch. It gets hit harder in low level women's football!
  7. Who will pay him what he wants then?
  8. No doubt we'll get a full report from The9! ;-)
  9. So you think dead ball delivery only consists of shooting on goal?
  10. The forum's limpet, more like.
  11. Checked.. Flashscore
  12. Some betting site which I've now closed. No stream as far as I can see..
  13. It appears to be 2-0 but no idea who scored.
  14. Don't wish injuries on anyone, but a precautionary rest for Kane next week? :-)
  15. Saving me a fortune in beer costs!
  16. I know we have some ******s on our boards but mainly they're just vicious and bullying with their tongues. I do hope it's not anyone we know, and I don't just mean the PTS thread.

    TV Tax

    If there was still a radio licence I'd have to pay it, and willingly too, but I haven't got a TV licence for the simple reason that I don't have a TV and indeed have never had a colour telly (back in the 80s I had a very small B&W one). The biggest problem is disposing of the threatening letters and the additional expense of beer when I pop out to watch footie down the pub or even.. gasp.. live. I'm glad the BBC is there (imagine a world of Fox News or Berlusconi's channels), but maybe a different funding arrangement is needed that doesn't rely on Capita assuming dubious powers and victimising vulnerable people.
  18. On the train to Paddington. Wish I'd brought an extra blood pressure pill...
  19. In 1976 I think I stayed on a bit! In 2003 was with friends in a stretch limo and we watched Arsenal lift the cup before hitting the packed roads. [Who remembers the sign in a Saints coach "Cheer up Aresenal, you won"]. This time I'm on my own so who knows what will happen..
  20. The question is, how long will it take to get away from Wembley with the transport clag? If we do win I've got to remember I'm staying with my very-aged mum...
  21. If the service is as good as the marketing.. ;-)
  22. Thanks for the suggestion of Harrow, guys. I'd forgotten (never realised?) how close it was and as I've a friend there who is heavily pregnant I can pop in and say hallo before getting disreputable. On the real ale, natch..
  23. What did Anthony Pulis and Tommy Forecast retire _from_? It certainly wasn't playing football.
  24. You could do the reverse bet and then not have any.. Either way, as soon as such a bet exists you're going to disappoint someone and be had up by the FA, expecially if your name isn't Barton. Perhaps a sweepstake as to how many you'll have throughout the day might be an idea?
