Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

A squirty tin though.

 

You couldn't afford new batteries for the TV remote control?

 

No, I ran out of batteries. Being a home worker I have become a recluse so hate leaving the house. The internet couldn't deliver them until the next day, so I needed another way to change channel. It pauses, rewinds and brings up the guide too

 

Can I just rock up at work in my football shirt today?

 

Only if you're under 35

 

Just about... but why?

 

Yes, why? I would say you should be in your teens.

 

My shirt will be older than some of my colleagues

 

I only wear my shirt to football (i am 'just' out of my teens). I love winding up Mrs No7 when we go on holiday by packing my shirt and saying it is for by the pool

...one day she will make me wear it

 

Football shirts are not for old'uns except at the game!

 

I'm just glad the mark of an old un is over 35. I'm going to enjoy my last year and a bit of youth!

 

Looks like someone's taken a photograph of the wiring at the back of my TV:

Are you still using a CRT or something.?

 

@Onionman, am I making this up or did you run a league table prediction competition at the start of the season? I need to check how embarrassed I am about to be but I can't find it

 

I tend to agree but I had a number of replica kits made by Toffs which I thought were terrific. I have two Saints kits including the red and white squares plus the Wanderers jersey which they wore when the won the first FA Cup in 1872. Toffs used to produce a wide range of Victorian football jerseys and I am fascinated by the original colours worn by teams which are radically different. I did want the Royal Engineer's top which is blue and red hoops and looked pretty good but I don't think this is now manufactured.

The modern jerseys are something I have generally avoided. The most recent I had was the Flybe red and white stripes. I have a Winchester top but, as a rule, think they look odd outside of a football ground when you get to a certain age. The vintage kits tend to be a bit more respectable. It is fascinating watching the lower league games on Channel 5 to witness some of the dreadful second kits worn in the lower league. The horrors of the 1990s continue to manifest themselves in the lower tiers.

 

I did. The horror will unfold soon enough.

You had West Ham for 7th.

That's a shame, my gin supply is running low too.

 

Oooooh. Line of Duty!! More to come.

 

Don't tell me I'm a bit behind with my viewing. Enjoying it so far though.

 

2 year wait for the next series
