Lord Duckhunter

People should read his auto biography. It’s not the usual pony, he accepts what a twat he was prior to leaving The Feelgoods & his reaction to being given 9 months to live, pretty inspirational. I remember him being interviewed prior to his life saving op, when he did really think that was it, and he said the exact same stuff, so it wasn’t written with survivors hindsight. They were such a great band, they absolutely had it all in front of them, punks loved them, they could have been so much bigger when punk hit. But booze & Wilko’s issues got in the way and they became a decent journeyman band after he left. Down at The Doctors & milk and alcohol were ok, but the edge, danger and excitement exited with Wilko.

Sad news, but he got about a decade more than expected. They were never the same after he left. Although they had a brilliant singer & showman in Brilleaux, the songs weren’t as strong after Wilko & his guitar playing was pretty unique. Down by the jetty is a master piece of a debut album, up there with rocks finest. I was lucky enough to see him a couple of times, once in the late 80’s in a pretty small boozer where he was absolutely nuts. RIP, a real one off.

Fucking hell, more woke pony at HT.

I’ve used the health device in France, Greece, Spain & The US. By far the worst service I’ve had is here at home. It’s easier to get a vet to see my dog than a Doctor to see a human. If you told people 30 years ago that by 2022 you couldn’t see an NHS dentist & the Doctor will ring you next Tuesday for a telephone conversation, they’d think you were nuts. A small example this week. Me and the SD went to the canneries last month & they had a calima. She suffered badly as she’s asthmatic and was still struggling 2 weeks later. 10 days (10 fucking days) after she first tried to see the Doc she finally got a prescription. She went to the chemist to pick it up and got into a conversation with her cousin who works behind the counter. The pharmacist over heard and came over. He advised her he was African and was used to her condition. He said the stuff the doc gave her was shite and wouldn’t do any good. He wrote down the name of a medicine and told her to go back to Docs and get this prescription instead. He said that in Europe a pharmacist could do that. She went to the doctor and gave the note to the Gestapo member on the desk, telling her can you give this to Doc and explained how the African pharmacist advised it. She refused saying “it doesn’t work like that”and she had to arrange another call. It was another week before another doc finally saw her again, and guess what? She agreed with the pharmacist and prescribed the said drug. That’s just one example that shows the pure fuckwittery, lack of common sense & time wasting that must go on day after day. Complete uselessness that doesn’t involve a lack of money. Just a lack of common sense & flexibility.

Not with Bale in the side. “There’s nobody like him”, he “writes his own script” and he “scores when he wants”. Going to be tough.

I just about get Hartson creaming himself, he’s a Taff. But fuck me, that was embarrassing.

Fuck me, he only scored a penalty…..

Great use of “Lino” there from Hartson. Good old fashioned commentary…..

They were a complete and utter shambles this time last year as well. I ordered my Grandson a kit for Xmas in the middle of Nov & it still hadn’t arrived 4 days before Xmas. I chased and chased it, we just wanted to know if it was coming (because we’d have got him something else). They kept saying it was but in the end I had to kick off with the club. To be fair to them, they arranged for us to pick one up from the shop, and it was free of charge. The ordered one eventually arrived in Jan. They apologised profusely & said they had issues with the online partners but they’d be sorted for this year. Clearly not. Shocking fucking service….

As for Brexit, if we’d have left it to , Redwood, Cash and the rest of the Tory leavers , they’d still be arguing about sub section c of regulation 3.7 or some other pony.

Soggy failing to understand the meaning of “most”. What have these “Right wing” jackboot wearing nazis done that is in anyway conservative. As I said they talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk. The first Osborne budget could have been written by Alister Darling, and they done nothing since to deviate from that path.

It’s not from the free kick, but from when the bloke challenging the keeper headed the ball. The blokes knee was offside at that point & he then headed the ball for the bloke to do the scissor kick thing.

Shit show? He was offside.

The Tories aren’t on the right. They may talk the talk, but when it comes to any meaningful polices they’re Blairites. Cameron was more comfortable with his Lib Dem coalition partners than he ever was with the membership. Most of their MP’s would be in a Liberal party if we had PR.

Why?

One thing you can’t criticise Ralph for was the way we came back from lockdown. He seemed to get that enforced break spot on in terms of fitness & getting the players back firing from day one. If he thought a couple of weeks off to recharge their batteries was the right thing to do, I wouldn’t disagree (provided they’re not pissing it up or stuffing their faces in front of The TV)

The piss water they serve at 95% of grounds should be fucking banned anyway.

I’ve got as much chance of playing for Brazil as he has. Fucking no chance….

Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be. Nostalgia depends entirely on your age, for the over 60’s I doubt anything will beat Mexico ‘70. For others it will be ‘78 or ‘86, if your French it will probably be ‘98 and of course older Englishmen will say ‘66. For English & Irish people of a certain age, ‘90 was a special tournament, but I’d be surprised if many other countries think so (apart from the hosts). Personally ‘70, ‘82 & ‘98 are my favourites, but there’s clearly no right or wrong answer. Let’s hope in 30 years there’s blokes out there looking back fondly on Qatar ‘22……

This forum never ceases to amaze me. Whether it’s politics, music, football or any other subject, every time somebody posts their mates opinion, someone they were talking to’s opinion or a text/message they’ve received,it always seem to back up the posters views. Strange isn’t it?

Italia’ 90 has this myth around it, when in reality it was a pretty pony tournament. Most of the group games were shite & the final was horrendous. I wonder if other nations look back with nostalgia at it, it’s certainly nowhere near the top of my list. It didn’t change football, it would have happened anyway.

You wasted a post on that pony?

Fucking hell, has he used up his 3 posts today yet?

Are people really moaning about Henderson going instead of JWP?
