Which is why we have to expand the airport so they can all fly in for home games (Mind you SC's kit did look less "Orange" than ours)
-
Hmm might be worth flying back for next season. Can't be as bad as the two games I got to - Wigan & Spuds at home, at least there will be decent Ice Cream
-
Hmm, Fulham could be in trouble, might take them out of the race to sign a striker http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2379955/Fulham-face-transfer-embargo-signing-Frenchman-Ange-Freddy-Plumain.html

Thanks for posting that SiP. Doubt we would find the full story like that in the general press reports on this.
-
Hmm maybe MP & the gangare taking the chance to see whether they are actually up to the job of being back up should we lose Boruc to injury.... Think we all know the answer to that

Got better when the Seals & XO get to Manilla & Washington (sorry suburbs of some Island in Hawaii) ... Agree around episodes 4-6 it goes a bit meh. Have Banshee, that's the next on the list for this week (unless son FINALLY remembers to bring the latest Dr Who series home!) update: Actually Last Resort had bad ones but by the end? Yeah it was really good, can't actually say why as that means spoilers. Anyways Banshee tomoz

Dear Bearsy. Just one question. Did you sign the Image Rights contract BEFORE you wrote that? AND Lodge it? Just thinking of us poor Ex-Pats who don't get a State Pension, that's all.

Well spudders. I don't holdout much hope for you... Here in Sandland we have a 500 Dirham note - it's about 80 quid. It is mainly blue and has about a 0.8cm band of silver down the middle of it. Anyways, I was out on the Golfcourse one afternoon, had just got my wallet out to buy a couple of Pocari Sweats & a Bacon & Egg Sarnie (Toke's can explain why everyone in Asia drinks Sweat) as for us, we eat Pig whenever we can. Anyways, back on topic my wallet was in the golf buggy and this Crow flew down, ignored the Sarnie & went straight to the wallet. Now obviously we all noticed this and did that horrid "when a disaster is happening" Slo-Mo run towards the buggy, but the little f\/cker had dived in and helped himself to the 500 Dirham note. Well, let me gtell you we were well not happy and went & demanded that the Groundstaff went out & shot every Crow on the Course (in a Green, Caring & Humanitarian way). The lads laughed & said it was common. Took us out and with a rope pulled a nest down out of a Palm Tree and low and behold it was lined with ripped shreds of 500 Dirham notes and all the shiny bits were laid out in the bottom as some sort of weird insulation/B&Q style home decor. Anyways, what I am saying is that you should head out and follow those Pigeons to their nests and it will be there. Because of the weird laws you have in the UK I suggest you wear a disguise especially a False Moustache & a hat May I suggest this could help as a template when you try and Stop that Pigeon?

Actually, really hope he does sign now. Would solve the Shirt dilemna for this season. Can buy a fake Brazil shirt for a fiver with Damiao 9 on the back

What a top forum member Toon Saint is for finding something so obscure as Hansard. That story sure as hell wouldn't have made it into The Gulf News over here. -
This war is not gonna end well. Think I'll take a weekend break in Damascus from TMS while the nukes fly

Don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings to this thread, but in NC's own words (not that of a Crook) Note the key word there = MAIN targets. I read that as others are still possible (probably IF the right player comes up)

Well, they have.

Bearsy's STD trip to Ibiza 2013 - your photos
dubai_phil replied to Tokyo-Saint's topic in The Muppet Show
Wow, Turks finds my Golf Stories funny. That reminds me of the time I was sitting with Paul McGinley & his old mate Nigel Mansell. Nige was SHOCKED that anyone knew about the time he was pulled over by a Cop for speeding on his way to Blandford through Coombe Bissett. Cop pulls over Ferrari and says 'allo 'allo 'allo, who do we think we are then? Nigel Bloody Mansell? Ah well, yes, actually I am... Cop then comes in the Fox & Goose & tells everyone, we ROFL & the Fail published the story next day. Must have been 25 or more years ago now though. -
Clearly Tadanari & Mayuka are going to get some time on the pitch this year then, phew, that's a relief. How many of the 14/15 were actual squad members though? Not Sharp, Forepast or Barnard for sure

dubai_phil replied to Tokyo-Saint's topic in The Muppet Show
Bearsy, not sure your street cred let alone rep points are helped by you admitting you pulled some old dog on your hols. -
Fair point. But IF Isgrove & Chambers are actually ready to play 6 or 8 games in a season & JWP has come on over the summer would you not count this as being worth 5 (or 6 with JWP) new signings?
-
Yeah he was so dreadful when he came back in under MP that we got thrashed at home to Chelsea due to him only being rated 7 by the experts And who can forget those howlers he made against Man City at Home? That Aguero made him look like a schoolkid didn't he. Fact is when he came in for Fonte he played one zillion times better than he did at the beginning of the season in a run of games. We have decent back up at CB and we have Stephens & Turnbull coming through

Low blows boys, low blows Oh but then they would be from. Oh whatever. I'm off to phone home

The last Ford Transits have rolled of the Swaythling production line
dubai_phil replied to TopGun's topic in The Lounge
It will never happen but they should use it to move the M27 and extend the runway & then the airport so it can handle longer haul aircraft After all with our global brand we'll have all these SE Asian & Kenyan fans wanting to come visit (OK that was a jest) ...but growth at some of the Regional Airports has been good and longer term will continue as LHR & LGW will take a long time to expand (also a bigger airport will be needed in this region IF Boris's barmy Thames Estuary shut Heathrow plan comes to fruition) Bigger airport with Cargo capability will bring more jobs -
Anybody else watch Last Resort? It's not perfect trash tv by any stretch but at least it is original in it's concept. High Level US Conspiracy, Steal your own Nuclear Sub, sit on an Island and sh@g the local population & run drugs. Good easy watching though & the sub warfare stuff is at least different from usual diet of "Crime/Legal" type series that fills up our Showtime channel here
