bridge too far

Aah - thanks for that GM. I didn't realise it wasn't the same club

This - I was a regular fan in my teens when they played at North East Road.

Sob story coming up - my goal is to get my poorly knee able to walk properly. Starting physio next week. I can at least bend it 45 degrees now so some progress.

Is it - male brains are stored in the former?

Particularly when you learn of stuff like this: http://anotherangryvoice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/contrasting-fates-turing-sempill-war.html

Very sad - it says 'short illness' but I'm sure he'd been unwell for some time. He lived not far from us.

And the 3 below them are currently drawing! If they could convert into wins................

OldNick showing his age by not understanding that 8.92 million is ALMOST 9 million and failing to understand the meaning of the word 'about'.

Probably curiosity because of the new manager. After yet another defeat, the new manager novelty will soon wear off I reckon.

I was trying to suggest that Barry Sanchez looked at some information - I wasn't arguing one way or another But your argument is frivolous. You need to compare like with like. Your employers would be happy with you working at McDonalds when you weren't cooking up a storm in your sub, would they?
