Whitey Grandad

Many years ago I was at Rownhams one evening waiting in my car behind an Ever-Ready delivery van at a set of temporary traffic lights when a cyclist came through in the opposite direction. His rear light fell off and before he could pick it up a car had driven over it and smashed it. In the space of a few seconds the driver of the Ever-Ready van had leapt out of his cab, ran round to the back, opened the door, grabbed a box with a new lamp and had tossed it to the cyclist. He was back in his cab just as the lights changed.

We tried that a couple of seasons ago and it never really worked.

Where do you think the boy came from? (Only joking, honest)

Oops, thanks for reminding me. I knew there was something I had to do tomorrow.

In Holland I believe different regions have different holiday dates and these rotate round so everybody gets a bit of everything.

It might also explain the half-time changes.

That's what I thought. If he's no good for Villa then is he good enough for us?

Good question. I suppose it depends upon the outcome of the debate.

Good keeper but why don't Villa want him?

Great to see that. I am always saddened by stories of sick children, their lives have hardly started and already they are struggling. Good luck son. http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/heartwarming-terminally-ill-9-year-old-jay-jay-visit-ajax-club-sign-him-up-and-youngster-makes-debut/

You're right, there's no comparison. Teachers haven't asked for an 11% pay rise.

How do their holidays compare with MPs?

Well it's not the parents.

As I said, we don't really know the motives for posting were.

Because he attacked the poster and not the post.

I an understand the reasoning, but it's damned annoying when the teachers shut the school at the slightest excuse.

I took one quick look and didn't bother reading any further.

I did say 'posts'. I'd rather have somebody that tried to start discussions than slavishly wait for others. The forum needs stimulation. We never know the state of mind of any poster at the time they make their post, nor, for example, whether they have had a late night or a couple of bevvies. In my opinion nobody should be scared to start a post for fear of ridicule or abuse. There's a lot of rubbish on here if you look carefully, not all of it from me.

Not at all.

That's an unnecessary personal attack. I have always found his posts stimulating and original. At least he participates.

We'd be where Liverpool are.

At least it would stop him scoring against us.

Why weaken the squad?
