The Hornet's Nest

Morning all wonder if Keanes no show was because Ak dressed up as a taxi driver and hi jacked him

 

Bad news about the Cardiff fan but if it happened so close to the stadium then there should be cameras around to help show the incident! police have already arrested 6 people , yet an "non" eyewitness didnt see any violence! slightly strange dont you think?

 

Morning all - Fully agree with your comments OFH and until people stopping putting their hands in their pockets, nothing will change. Heard some very interesting stories over the week-end about some of the England players behaviour in SA - they really are an obnoxious bunch and no prizes for guessing who!

FA, FIFA, UEFA, Formula 1, MP's - bunch of crooks the lot of 'em

 

Sæll til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea and donuts are on the bar.

Frothy cappuccinos for al HH Leon and W_Y
Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev, rob and theo
Strong coffee for Sandy
Milky coffee for Yorkie
Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
Black coffee half hot half cold and no sugar for Charlie
Teas for BHD jsybaz and Millens
Coffee and cake for Minx
Caramel latte for Hornette
A chocolate monster for BBW
Espresso for SuffolkHorn
Orange juice for Lloydinio
And a redwine for NZ as he is so ahead of us in time

 

morning all! Thanks for the caramel latte Ak

Nice to see Roy Keane carrying on in his usual way!

 

Its nice when there are things that are constant .......like a normal routine

Had a quick perusal in GC the Iran V Israel had some interesting posts alongside the idiot comments! worth a quick look though!

 

ooh okies, will go and peek!

 

Once shouldn't laugh.... but funnily I have just been to buy some sparkling drinks to help with digestion....

 

good grief! That's really got me riled! lol...why don't people see both sides of an arguement?? Hmmpfh!

 

Thought it might

Hello Yorkshire how are things going over there ? stunned after another defeat to England in the cricket no doubt

 

Bugger me Sunshine !!!!! brb....

 

Now that is a foreign word what does it mean this sunshine?

 

You've got to love the "olden days".

My smaller half has been looking into her family tree over the past week. She came across the 1891 and 1901 census concerning a distant relative. In the final column of the 1891 census, just after indicating where they were born the individual has to declare whether they are:

1. Deaf-and-Dumb (as everyone is aware, if your hearing is impaired, so is your cognitive ability)
2. Blind
3. Lunatic, Imbecile or Idiot

Fortunately, it is obvious the census creators have become aware of their potentially offensive wording, so by 1901, the individual has the following options:

1. Deaf and Dumb
2. Blind
3. Lunatic
4. Imbecile, feeble minded

So, rather than be brandished as an idiot, people were now classed with a much softer, almost acceptable term, feeble minded.

Maybe they should bring this detail back in, but instead give the individual the option to label 5 people as a lunatic, an imbecile or feeble minded. I could certainly think of 5, and this would help greatly with the well being of our country.

I was also reading a Chelsea FC program from 1969, and in it was a letter from a fan. He said:

First of all, it is amazing that something so perverse was even published! But, secondly, the publishers obliged his request and printed a picture of 18 year old fashion model, Maureen O'Doherty! It is difficult imagining an 18 year old called Maureen, let alone a "model". Sexy.

It goes on to add that Maureen recently took part in a beauty pageant. She came third, winning £25! Her nemesis, Sylvia, 21 from Nottingham, took top spot, bagging a cool £100.

 

thanks for that! lol

 

send it this way please!

 

i love reading what you write BBW! And yep, how times change eh?

 

Thanks Hornette!! Please feel free to tell close friends and business associates about your interest in reading what I write, accompanied with a link to my blog! I am happy to put together a brief PowerPoint presentation if you feel this will help.

I love reading things from recent history. In fact, I have recently acquired 4 Watford FC programs from the early 60's. They are fascinating! It is amazing how much things have changed over such a drastically short period of time! Who would have thought 100 years ago it was considered professional to label someone an idiot? And, that 20 years ago (less for most, I would assume) we got by without the internet.

 

BBW, me too ,always thought provoking witty and articulate ,keep up the good work

 

It came lasted 3minutes then went then I got dragged off to do the shopping )

 

I have to admit that i rarely read blogs as i find them too long and rarely stick to a point, however having just read a few entries from yours BBW i have to say i have not laughed so much in a while. Very good sir!
