  1. I was there when he scored. Was it Northampton or Bristol Rovers?
  2. Have you thought about watching Torquay? My son-in-law who comes originially from Exeter says that everyone down ther has a Premier League that they follow whilst actually going to Torquay or Exeter for there live footy. (Only joking)
  3. My French customer told me that the best meat for steak tartare was horse.
  4. Aren't the PPs diverted straight to the football creditors without going through the club?
  5. Hmm, Lithium batteries are notorious: http://tingilinde.typepad.com/starstuff/2006/09/lithium_batteri.html One third the energy density of dynamite!
  6. I've always fancied unobtainium but never managed to get hold of any.
  7. And was very pleased when I gave him a spare discount voucher.
  8. ?? He pulls his ankle out of the way as soon as he toes the ball.
  9. Yup, heavy water. Don't forget tritium. That makes tritiated water which is super-heavy.
  10. Isn't it an isotope?

    Scars

    Just below left knee from when I was four and fell over. Right thumb from when the work glove got caught in a drill. Left wrist when a firework got inside my cuff. Both eyebrows and upper lip from separate football injuries. Two small ones on my balls from the vasectomy. One over two foot long on the inside of my left leg where they took the donor vein for my heart bypass - vey impressive. One scary one in the middle of my chest where they sliced open my sternum, still not quite completely healed after six months. One six inches long from the hernia repair in my thirties. Have I missed anything?
  12. Yes, easily confused.
  13. Sorry for the confusion on my part. On my Ipad using Tapatalk the post numbering was different and the gif wasn't animated.
  14. The defender's leg was not fully extended at the time that he nicked the ball away first. If he had planted his right foot at the point where he nicked the ball then he would have been caught on the side of the ankle. That's because J-Rod got to the ball first and nicked it away, and then got his foot out of the way.
  15. The chairman has 100% control That's why he's the chairman.
  16. But this is football, not driving. In practice as well as theory referees can, will and have interpreted 'attempt to trip' as a foul. Players would do well to be aware of this before lunging in carelessly for a ball that they aren't going to reach. If it had been given as a foul in the middle of the pitch then less would have been said about it.
  17. That's 2 elements.
  18. Johnny, finding life a bore, drank some H2SO4. Now he's neutralised, it's true, but he's full of CO2
  19. It was a foul. If a player has to take avoiding action then it is a foul.
  20. I saw him in M&S just before Christmas. Looking for an interview suit?.
  21. Plus two from Villa, Wigan, Fulham, Norwich, West Ham, Reading, anybody else, really. :-)
  22. Ah, but real cavemen would burn off the calories with subsequent vigorous and extensive nocturnal activities. I think I see where I have been going wrong...
  23. That was part of my problem. Working later, getting home later, eating later, not exercising will all put on the belly fat. The best way to keep healthy is to eat less and move about more. And drink less too.
  24. Please, I'm still trying not to remember that miss.
