Anyone who sees anything different in her actual words is looking for something imo. 

So you’re saying the Labour Party were looking to suspend her?

Why, is it easier there?

Desperate to get out of France 😂😂😂

Do people get irritated by the promotion of other sports they don't like or watch?

 

I’d imagine If you don’t like golf, you’d be pretty annoyed if Nick Faldo was analysing Ben Stokes poor shot at Lords. Especially, when there’s literally thousands of cricketers better qualified to do so.

Female pundits are invited on to talk about using their experience to tell us how male players will be feeling when it's not remotely comparable.

It’s either the same sport, or it isn’t. 
 

Either way it’s nonsense. Dave from The Dog & Duck wouldn’t get far as co commentator & John McEnroe wouldn’t be employed as a Rugby league expert. They only get the gig because they’re chicks, an incredibly patronising and sexist reason.

Ah right, I see. Territorial about the club.

Good job Bowen didn’t chat up one of the barmaids otherwise your friend could’ve shouted ‘nothing in this game for 2 in a bed’.

Bowen was a bit of a cock. Don’t want to start a thread about random meetings with tv stars, but when I was younger I met a few TV “stars”. My old man was chairman of a charity (in the days when it was voluntary and you didn’t get paid). Sir Dickie Attenborough was the patron, or similar, and he used to arrange for TV  celebs to do fund raising bits. As chairman, my old man would pick them up from hotel (they were normally in panto or summer season) or train station and take them around. He’d bring them home sometimes and mum would feed them or give them cup of tea.
 

Bernard Breslaw the carry on bloke was one I remember being really nice, but one event shines out and I can still remember it like yesterday. Fiona Richmond. They had pub of the year, an award to the pub that raised the most money. My old man had to pick her up, and take her to this ale house. Being a dutifully son in his early teens, I thought I better help my old man deliver the radiant Miss Richmond to the pub 😂. She spent ages flirting with the locals before partaking in another fund raising activity. She stripped down to a bikini and felt tip was used to divide her body into squares with numbers on. The squares were sold (rather quickly) and the corresponding numbers placed in bucket. The winning number was then drawn and the holder of that ticket got to kiss her on the winning square. I somehow don’t think the charity commission would approve nowadays, but it made a lot of money and I’m yet to see anyone as excited about kissing someone’s arm as the winner was. If memory serves, it even made the local papers as a positive story. Nowadays the landlord would probably be banged up, my old man charged with immoral behaviour and Fiona in therapy claiming  “me too” moment.

This morning I had breakfast with my bestie in the shade of my apple trees. She hates football but is good enough to be one of the sponsors for my football team. 

I mentioned about the people who come onto these threads pointing out how 15 year old boys  etc etc, and she asked me why people who aren't interested make the effort to comment and comment negatively? She pointed out that she doesn't comment on things that don't interest her. 

I was able to point out that there aren't many that do, and they are well known on the forum for their particular hang ups..

Was the breakfast in Romney Marsh by any chance?

Someone dying because first responders couldn't get to them as the team were attacking and looking likely to score (Saints fans safer there), opens the club and FA up to legal action. 

I don’t know about us being safe, Saints attacking and looking likely  scoring would probably be the cause of someone going into cardiac arrest. If BBD actually scores, we could face litigation left right and centre. Hundreds could need treatment….

Did Bowen not like the band or your friend’s vocals?

No, it was Bowen who was singing with the band.
 

There were 3 of us stood at the bar, when Bowen came over my mate said “that was great Jim, super smashing lovely”, Bowen told him to fuck off and called him a cunt. The club owner was a guy I used to play football with, he said to my mate  “ignore him, he’s a bloody nuisance with his singing”. Evidently, he wanted to get up and sing every time he was in there….

I was with my mate when he got called a cunt by Jim Bowen, and before anyone says it’s off topic, he’d just got up to sing a number with the house band…..

Heading off-topic for a moment, did you know that Charlie Drake recorded a single written and produced by Peter Gabriel? Not only that but the session musicians PG assembled for it included Robert Fripp, Sandy Denny, Phil Collins, Brian Eno, Percy Jones and Keith Tippet..  

The 1975 Peter Gabriel novelty single no one talks about | Louder

The great session musician Herbie Flowers wrote and played on “Grandad” for Clive Dunn. His second most famous bass line after “Walk on the wild side”  😂😂

I once bought a paint brush off a bloke who had met Ray Dorset….He hadn’t painted with it, but I still use it…..

There were some crap records about in those days eg 'Does your Chewing Gum Lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight' by Lonnie Donegan.
 .'Hole on the Ground' by Bernard Cribbins.
'Hole in my Bucket' by Harry Belafonte
'Ernie . The fastest Milkman in the West' by Benny Hill  etc etc

You miserable sod 😂😂. 
 

Ernie was a great song, some great novelty records around my childhood. My mum reckons I went round the house singing The Singing postman’s  “Hev Yew Gotta Loight, Boy?"
 

Love  Bonzos, “I'm the Urban Spaceman”, probably my fav, but Ernie is a close second…

First album I owned was The Beatles 1962-66 (red) album. Before that I’d just played around with my mum & Aunties records. Parents got me that for Xmas. 
 

First single  I bought myself with my paper round money was “how does it feel” by Slade. First LP bought was either “Wings at the Speed of Sound” or “Venus and Mars”, can’t quite remember which, but I had them both around the same time…

Last piece of vinyl I ever bought was around ‘87 and I wish I could remember what it was. I know it was then because I moved abroad that year and when I came home in ‘91 it was all CD’s….Strange to think I don’t own a thing now, just a subscription to Apple Music.

You were banging on a while ago about the Monkees not being very good.  CBA to find it now.

Sung properly some of the musics very good.

the OBR who seem to dictate what can and can't be done more than the actual government. 

Hoisted with her own petard, springs to mind. It was her who  designed a fiscal lock' law to ensure any government budget decisions can no longer bypass scrutiny by the Office for Budget Responsibility. She constantly criticised Tories who made the very point you’re making. She’s so far out of her depth it’s embarrassing, and to think we’ve got 4 more years of this clown show, god knows where we’ll be by then.
 

Weak, weak, weak. Starmer and her need to be moved on…

I nearly put “Pleasant valley Sunday” by the monkees just to annoy you. Actually I do really like that track but didn’t make the cut.

Why would it annoy me, it’s a great song. I’ve got Carole Kings demo on my CK play list. 
 

The TV show was shite, but the music great. Great writers & The Wrecking Crew, what’s not to like. 
 

The Rutles were close to my top 10 anyway, Neil Innes was brilliant, and Eric Idols piss take of McCartney was genius imo…

Sun King - Beatles

Unusual choice. Funnily enough I nearly had the track that fades into Sun King as one of mine. “You never give me your money”, but went Golden Slumbers instead, mainly because it literally led to The End….
 

Interesting that 3 people picked different Beatles tracks from the same album and imo it’s not even their best one…

The Weight-The Band

Maybe I’m amazed-Paul McCartney

Say you love me-Fleetwod Mac

Golden Slumbers/Carry that weight/ The End-The Beatles 

Drive my Car-The Beatles 

Rock & Roll-Led Zeppelin 

Pretty Vacant-Sex Pistols 

How does it feel-Slade 

Suite:Judy Blue eyes-Crosby Stills and Nash

Shotgun Willie-Willie Nelson 

Has Soggy called him Pascal Robinson-Foster yet?
