don't tell the rozzers I was in Chester yesterday then. thought i got away with that one. i was duped by the locals!!!!
Apparently it's still on the statute books that Hackney Carriages must carry a bale of hay as feed for the horse! Fascinating, I know!!
Your secrets safe with me Mussie, just make sure you don't come back from Chester pissed up on the back of a cow.
There are a couple of old laws at the Houses of Parliament that were never repealed.. No Honourable Member of the House of Commons may enter the House wearing a suit of armour. No Honourable Member is allowed to die within the Houses of Parliament.
so standing in a seated area at a football match is still illegal then? and is £30 for a ticket at the knuckle draggers ethically sound?
The Forest stewards were mini Hitlers but some Tigers fans did annoy the heck out many fellow fans. But when i asked the head steward to allow and move all the standers to an area that was empty (within the away end) so that they could stand up he nearly had a heart attack. Stand he said ? you must be jokling this is nottingham forest so you must sit. i did hear that 25 smokers were ejected @ ht and at least 12 others ejected for persisting standing. what a joke but at least the result made up for all the hassle. with much hope we wont be going back to forest anytime soon.
Sadly I understand that stabbing a Scotsman in York and Ditto on the Isle of Man has now been found to be an urban myth. Spoilsports.
You want to read what people put. I'm in the West Stand because I can't stand for longer periods and didn't want to be sounding a sanctimonious so and so like some on here telling people to sit down especially as I'd rather be stood myself. So why would I be standing up in the West Upper in the first place? I'm sure you and you kids stick to every law(standing in a ground is not against the law, you can't be fined for it, it is a ground regulation) don't exceed any speed limit, drop litter and your kids don't watch any videos or play games with age restrictions on. Perhaps we should ban the sale of drinks and food on the concourse and ban people with weak bladders as I had to stand up constantly for a procession of people wanting to use the toilet, go early to order their haqf time drinks and food, coming back late from their drinks and food, going to the toilet again and leaving 5 minutes early as their time is too important to be held up in a queue. All these people meant I had to stand up, inconveniencing myself and blocking the view of those behind me. Here's a clip from a similar size ground. How I wish we could have something similar at our ground. No doubt if you were over there you and your kids would have made them all sit down -or else.[video=youtube;piPrkoQFVqo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piPrkoQFVqo&feature=related[/video]
my son & I stood through the whole game as did everyone around us. not the slightest bit of hassle from stewards or any other supporters. I did take exception at one drunken twat who insisted on lighting up and blowing smoke in junior's face. the offender didn't reappear after half time.
God I remember seeing that fire live on TV. With the idiot fans cheering and trying to get there faces on tv. And the fans on fire and burning. Safety was definitely a thing of the future in football grounds in those days. Scary.
but I wanted to stand, so I was happy! junior's favourite match was Peterborough, he enjoyed the terraces.
Too late, I saw him in Queens Gardens today, he'd just reported the rape. Said it's soured his view of City fans and he's going back on loan to Carlisle.
Stand 90% of the time or sit 90% of the time. Just don't be up and down like a yo-yo for 90 minutes, it's bloody annoying!
Maybe we should adopt a law on here: You can take the piss out of a posting, but not use personal insults to the poster? But then again - this is often very entertaining....
