  1. Clearly onside. Martin Buchan didnt step up quickly enough. People always look to where Bobby was in relation to Brian Greenhoff.
  2. Or the TCWTB approach according to some of the comments on herehttps://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=portsmouth news.
  3. Whatever the pay I think elite level sport is about ability x confidence, trouble is if one part of the equation drops so does the other.
  4. Wish I could get angry at this, but I cant. Its our time.
  5. Talking of growing things did you know according to that paragon of balanced commentary and journalism Irn Mike Graham you can grow concrete.
  6. Being nice to Soggy?
  7. Known as E15 in geography lessons.
  8. From the outset, he’s never struck me as a particularly well person and as you say it’s scary he’s the leader of the free world. As for all this Irish bollocks he’s about as Irish by descent as I am. One great great grandparent who left Co Cork and rocked up in St Mary’s and met and married a bloke from Poole.
  9. Not a fan then?
  10. Presumably he's off limits for the cool kids then? Whines on a lot about Brexit so I've heard. From what I can gather he's not as left wing as some would perceive and then there's Carl Beech.
  11. 60th year supporting Saints, will be utterly disinterested by Championship. Bollocks football played by bollocks players.
  12. No I’m watching the Ronde Van Vlanderaan to keep myself busy before, during and after. Can’t beat the drama of a bike race over the Flemish cobbled climbs. One of my sporting highlights of the year, so watching a home win for West Ham doesn’t get anywhere near.
  13. And have done in the last ten years. Recency bias and all that
  14. Yes its a very crude metric for living standards. Obviously per capita it is a better indicator but as with all central tendency calculations it has its drawbacks. Development data tends towards HDI which again is an average with health measured by life expectancy, education by the expected years of schooling on entry alongside GDP per capita. Pretty standard fare for Year 11 Geography lessons. Hope some prick doesn't pop upon here to tell me I'm not qualified to teach about this after 40 odd years in secondary geography education, as they did when I happened to mention in a post some while back about teaching a balanced view of climate change. I'll leave it you to guess who it was
  15. Now there was a programme. Southern Television at its finest. Loose Women for the 1970s. Sure they regularly had a nun on there.
  16. John Redwood is my MP he is a cunt! Just saying.
  17. The late David Armstrong for me.
  18. That first lockdown is just etched in my memory. Wife diagnosed with cancer the Saturday after the lockdown, life saving surgery for her on the Monday. Lost mum over the Easter weekend. Can't quite compute that was three years ago.
  19. I've watched it from the start of UK TV coverage in 1982 on Channel 4. The 49ers were the first to catch my attention as winners of the previous SB but couldn't say I was a fan. Its more moments, teams and players that I have enjoyed following over the years but that brings me back to the 49ers to some extent with Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig et al. However, the drama of 'The Drive' with Elway leading the Broncos 98 yards, and the 2009 Saints winning only 4 years after Katrina stick in the memory also. In fact I was having a discussion with my neighbour today about the GOATs of various sports this morning and where they sat across all sports. I had four names, Jimmy Anderson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
  20. We got one in lockdown, a pizza oven that is, not a government. Other shit in my garage that takes up room also includes two inflatable hot tubs, an electric patio heater, a roof box and my daughter's gear from Uni (she graduated in 2017) which hasn't moved for a number of years. Amazing how much stuff we accumulate, There's barely enough room for bikes.
  21. Im off to watch the last 80km of Milan-San Remo, I really can’t be arsed to engage with this lot any more.
  22. Kin ell I heard of the missionary position and a few others but never the MLT position
  23. Rock bottom again!
