  1. “ She said he shouldn’t be allowed to get on the train, and I think the words she used was ‘at all costs’,” said officer Slug Deadly, referring to orders from Akron's new chief of police, Cressida Dick. 🙂
  2. Fruit scones, with little orange bits in, are my faves. Only a little of anything with those as are so nice. What flavour jam with the scone?
  3. That was dawning on me as I was typing. 🙂
  4. Funny first post, followed up by interesting follow ups, with something I didn't know. Who says the posts are pointless? 🙂
  5. Jam first by tradition. However, I think it tastes better the other way. Although I fear social pariah status if suggesting that in a local cafe.
  6. They experienced that desperate run in, with the rest of us. That would have given them plenty of clarity on what was needed. 🙂
  7. Another decent kit. I like the colours. The design is different and looks more stylish than garish. And should the Justice League come calling....
  8. Interesting. There are a number of actual kits with a lot of detailing, beyond most concept kits. Our own has those lines over it. The technology seems able to allow that, and maintain the profit.
  9. The squad get to try out the new third kit before general release... Note the protective headgear with Saints, bravely and boldly, at the forefront of preventing concussion injuries. Note also the small midriff fighter plane: celebrating our nation's brave and bold heritage, while also keeping grabby opponents at bay during corners.
  10. It's been a promising window so far, but those would really take the biscuit. 🙂
  11. How are you at defending from corners? If you can do that, there's a striker spot for you. 🙂
  12. Sadly my Victorian chaperone wouldn't let me join the "No To Stripes!" protest marches. Although I read in the Boy's Own Paper that the Saints fans, correctly dressed in half or quarters shirts, who chained themselves to railings would go onto inspire the suffragettes.
  13. From the super Kitclassics.... Personal favourites are... 1980-85 away, 1980-84 home, 1987-89 home, 1885-87 home, 2018-2020 3rd, 2013-14 home. When I'm not keen on one of the non stripe ones, stripes would do fine, even though they aren't among my favourites. As 87-89 has similarities to the 1894-96 kit, I'd like to see what Hummel could do with our 1891-94 shirt. I'm hoping there's a little of the 1980-85 away in this season's away kit.
  14. He scored some important goals. He scored some lovely goals. Apart from 2015/16, he didn't score a lot of goals. He did bring other things to the team though: Commitment, unselfishness, work rate and intelligence to create space and chances for others. Attributes that were still getting him the nod from Ralph, right up to the end of his time here. You'd not hang your survival hopes on his finishing alone. But always a good squad player. If he had more goals in his game, it would have been interesting to see how much higher he could have gone. So long, Shane.
  15. "The case against the EPA was brought by West Virginia on behalf of 18 other mostly Republican-led states and some of the nation's largest coal companies." A future of using your easily available guns, thanks to the NRA, to fight off the hordes, thanks to anti abortion legislation, so that you can keep breathing from your oxygen bottle in the toxic, dying atmosphere, thanks to the coal companies. 🙂
  16. But then, all the youth players would want at least the same. "We'll, if you don't think I'm as good as Dibling, I'll be off then," they'll say. Or probably get their agent to say, who they've had since they were 6, to fend off grasping clubs. Instead of chucking money away in fear of missing out on any talent going, I think it's better to instead support the women's team, giving all Saints teams the best, sustainable chance of success.
