Why are you name dropping me in this thread you wierdo?

Nicked from facebook The Specials. Terry. This is what happened. We had it all planned out. Make the album we were going to do in 2020 – a reggae album. Record in Los Angeles in November. We had the studio booked, flights paid for, accommodation sorted. Roger Rivas from The Agrolites was going to co-produce. Shepard Fairey was going to do the cover. Lynval, still recovering from his spinal surgery earlier in the year, was over in the UK and raring to go. Terry had the framework for 8 tunes. Confidence was high. We were set to meet up with Nikolaj and make magic. This was in September. Terry e-mails everyone and says he’s in bed with a stomach bug and can’t do the first week of pre-production sessions. No big deal, we can knock everything back a week. We’re not due to fly out until November 4th. The next week, Terry is no better and is in hospital. There’s not much we can do except wait for him to get better. Sunday October 2nd and I get a phone call from Manager Steve. And everything turns to shit. Terry’s illness is a lot worse than we thought. He has been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas which has spread to his liver. This is serious. Like life-threatening serious. He has developed diabetes due to his pancreas being attacked. This has to be treated first, then it’s a regime of chemotherapy. There is nothing anyone can do. Everything is put on hold. Terry is emphatic that no-one be told about this. If anyone asks, he’s managing his diabetes. The chemo treatment starts favourably but it seems that it would be March 2023 at the earliest before we’d be in any position to work. He is in and out of hospital to stabilise the diabetes issue and also to manage pain. It then goes quiet. Beginning of December and reports are not good. Terry has lost a lot of weight and is very frail. His friend Ian Broudie visits and phones Manager Steve. He fears that Terry is slipping away. 15th December and Manager Steve drives up to London to visit. He calls me on his return journey and says things are not looking promising. Terry is dying. The next day he is put on morphine and is more-or-less unconscious for most of the time. I thought it would be best for me to go and visit but Lindy, his wife, advises against it. She has held her phone to Terry’s ear so that his sisters and Lynval can say their goodbyes. She suggests I do the same. So, I did. It was tough. Terry died around half past 5 the next evening, Sunday 18th December. The world has lost a unique voice and I have lost a good friend. Horace.

With the players we’ve got it’s probably the best formation to suit them but for whatever reason it just doesn’t work for us. Weird really as every time we’ve used it it’s been crap
-
Martin Duffy from primal scream gone as well. 🥲

8 goals in 16 so far this season for the Brummie Benzema. only needs one more goal to equal what Broja scored in 38. Level with his own haul of 8 last season and only one off his high of 9 with us in 42 games in 20/21 season. He really is turning into a top class striker
-
Can’t see is signing a new when we have 3 on the books already and that Liss fella on loan somewhere. If we sell McCarthy maybe. Bazuna just isn’t ready and will cost us in a relegation battle
-
Exciting times ahead. He’s got the The Brummie Benzema firing again with two great goals, the Malian Messi to come off the bench to rip team apart as they tire, even the Ilford Inestia pulling the strings in midfield or able to seamlessly slot in at right back. Those last five minutes were as breathless as the World Cup final with a host of missed chances and end to end football

oh i understand how it works, I understand because numerous times you’ve “forgotten” I’m on your ignore list and replied and quoted me, it’s hilarious 🤣 What also Hilarious is posting 12 hours ago and then comes back on 8 hours later to edit his post to get another dig in at me. Absolutely obsessed. 😂

50% win percentage Win every game at home No goals conceded by opposition players scored twice as many as conceded carved them open second half and could have scored 6 All done without it being his squad
-
We will wipe the floor with them second half, with an excellent display
-
True, it wasn’t even his team when he was here

Is it our fans singing that?

Welcome back!

What happened?

lol or team is shit. Amazing we had the biggest net spend window ever and our squad got worse 🤣

The amusing thing is if a bloke had done that everyone would have laughed and it would have been shown on football funnies and used over and over again for years. Because it's a woman the video gets deleted and people get all upset about belittling the womens game.
-
I expect some on their forum are now busily convincing the other members that he does in fact have an outstanding record of a goal every other game.
-
A lot of people seem very upset that i dont like Game of Thrones, including someone who has no idea what i think about it or how i described it (despite quoting it word for word) as they've got me on ignore
-
Another one who didnt realise what had happened to him as a kid, that's mental! Specials were brilliant and he was a great artist.
-
I have no idea why the predictive text spelt out Stucco It's not just the cuisine part, it's the way he goes into the history of the area and goes to some off the back street areas not just the main tourist bits. For example when he went to Ischia and gave the history or why rabbit is so popular there. Its a great programme, dont tire of watching it.
-
Not really. I watched a bit of I’m a celebrity because the missus wanted to watch it, load of shit. I don’t watch much TV. Usually sport, documentaries, travel or cooking program, Discovering Italy with Stanley Tucci is excellent, crime dramas like Line of Duty. the best thing I’ve watched recently was Chris Hemsworths Limitless on Disney, it was excellent, you should give it a go rather than waiting for me to post and reacting or responding every time I do all day every day.
-
No idea, as I said, heard people talking about it so put it on once, turned it off, load of bollocks.
-
Why am I not surprised. I wouldn’t criticise clarkson too much if were you, not only do you have the same taste in TV programmes, you both talk a lot of shit and both condone violence against women, you’re actually quite similar

So did Ralph….
