Yikes, that's slow, What happened to Faster, Higher, Stronger?

Miserable? Not me. There's something wromg with our community if it needs an artifical commercial gimmick to get it moving.

Nothing historic about it. The torch run was introduced by the Nazis in 1936. Let's face it, if it weren't for the tag 'Olympic' nobody would watch any of it. It is over-hyped to the point of hysteria. Football, on the other hand, has an ethereal beauty about it. It is the purest form of art in existence. The point of the Universe is to be the cradle of Life, and the point of Life is Life itself.

Yup, not the goalkeeper's ball.

I don't understand. Why, please tell me why, would anybody go to watch some berk running along with a barbecue lighter?

Hmm, I might pay to watch that.

You're very welcome. It's back in my dim distant past but it's all coming back to me now.

Good point. Until the whistle goes the ball is still in play so you can't blow for a new foul and then take it back to the previous one. Did the whistle blow when the player was allegedly tripped in the box? I've refereed under 12 matches at Staplewood where all the regional academies were involved. The kids were wonderful, no nastiness or unpleasant attitudes. The parents however were absolutely desperate for their little Jonnies to do well.

Yes, not easy, but I would say that a penalty was a greater advantage than a free kick.

I would have awarded a penalty, that being a greater advantage. I would only have brought play back if no advantage had accrued, and you really only have a couple of seconds leeway. Once advantage has been signalled I would have though it too late to go back to the original offence. http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/lawsofthegame/index.html see page 68

I can't remember the title but wasn't it something about a night flight and they thought the sand dunes were waves and that they were parcahuting over the sea. It could be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Be_Good_(aircraft)

That statement alone shows the lunacy of their pay structure.

That's a surprise. Two more than Corp Ho. I'm undecided whether this is the biggest timewaster ever or the greatest entertainment in the history of mankind. Threads such as this should be preserved and put in a time capsule. Where shall we bury it?

I've always liked him.

There is no room for sentiment here, this is business. We need a better keeper for the next level, and a few other players too.

This sums it all up. I'm glad I'm not there today. We've probably got several new players lined up already.

Hmm 18. How am I supposed to have dark hair at my age? Any woman impressed by an Audi is not worth having anyway and I can still come up to scratch when necessary.

And Blackpool?

Aren't there now new regulations in place restricting this?

You normally get them stuffed and mounted. Or is it mounted and stuffed?

My elderly neighbour, who has two cats, woke up last week to find a large, strange ginger tom lying in bed next to him. After it had eaten all the cat food in the house and terrorised his other cats he phoned the vet. He said that it belonged to a woman at the top of our estate who had paid £2000 for a pedigree ginger tom. You see, that's the danger of catflaps, you never know who or what you're letting in to your house.

Indeed, I had this proof offered to me many years ago: 1/9 is 0.11111 recurring 2/9 is 0.22222 recurring ... 9/9 is 0.99999 recurring

Only those who put out the wrong coloured bin.

What, again ???

It's i over 8.
