Morning all, Quite a breeze blowing this morning and the forecast is that we might have some showers later. There is some interesting stuff to read on the net today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/mattslater/2011/11/british_test_is_fit_for_nothin.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15969818.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15653595.stm The second one is yet another try to get football clubs to behave like any other company. Taking what was said yesterday, a club might refuse to sell a player to another club because it feared that it wouldn't get paid.
Morning all...another day beckons...and the morning bit is full...should see you later though w_y...you made me chuckle this morning, i thought it was just me that said 'rabbits, rabbits, rabbits' these days Interesting articles there M Frenchie, and the first is no more than we already knew, but brings home how scary a position we're in at the moment! If only we knew! But still, i'm sure their situation is far worse than ours, though i'm sure most people will jump on my back and tell me ours isn't bad at all. Have a great break Al! You deserve it (and i expect she's after the favour being returned some time ) Gotta love Ashley Young right, off i scoot, see you all later, have a great day! (that's me somersaulting out the door lol...i can't get to my wave at the mo!)
The reason that the FAPPT will never be effective is that the people running football have a conflict of interest in it's use. There are 2 main reasons that it is invoked:- 1. When a mega club like Liverpool or Man U get taken over by some huge money loaded entity - either an individual or group. There is no way the football authorities have the ability or desire to block these take-overs. 2. When a club like Watford or Pompey are in difficulties and a "shining knight" appears on the scene to pick up the pieces. Usually this has to be rushed through, so the authorities have the challenge of an effective test that may take months to go through and the club may get closed down by the creditors or push it through on the nod and have no risk of the adverse publicity of a club finally failing and the nightmare of the whole lot collapsing around their ears. If this was th US, the authorities would have been in court years ago for what they are allowing to happen i.e. knowingly allowing a business to trade insolvently. I am sorry to say that until the authorities force the issue and allow some clubs to fail and go out of business, nothing will change. Of course we all fear that this could happen to us... H - my old Mum always said Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits on the 1st day of the month, and I have carried it on. I said it to Mrs W_Y when I left at 05.45 this morning and sent a text to little Miss W_Y a little bit later....
For me it has always been "pinch punch first of the month" whenever you see someone new before noon. As Mrs L is often the only person around then I got bored always "winning" so now try to give here a clue so she remembers first
Morning all. Its sunny here but still quite chilly. We have 97 parcels to deliver, but they are going to be over an hour late getting to us so wont be leaving before 12!! That really ****s up the whole day as it will take us about 3-4 hours to deliver them all!! Not happy as i was intending on surprising the gf with a visit at college.
Lenny - we also do Pinch & a Punch and then the response is "Pinch & a Kick for being so quick"...but as you say, it has to be before 12.00...
We always said, "pinch and a punch, 1st day of the month, white rabbit" Response was "punch and a kick, for being so quick" Haven't actually done it for many a year though!
i'm a pinch punch first of the month before 12 person too, but rabbits rabbits rabbits has always been the first thing we have to say on the first of the month...if you don't say it first, before you say anything else...you were dooooomed! lol
We've just recalled #watfordfc keeper Jonathan Bond a few days before the end of his loan spell at FGR. He's now available for Sat's squad. I wonder if Scotts latest Boo Boo has prompted this move!

I was wondering who had made the most gaffes clarkson or blatter! speaking of blatter did you see the page in tuesdays programme having a pop at him
We used pinch punch first of the month and no returns of any sort - to avoid the pinch and a kick Confess I never heard of rabbit, rabbit rabbit - except by the two Tottenham cockneys Chaz and Dave
Oh dear - another one where I am going to be unpopular - I agree with Jeremy Clarkson - 1) because he exaggerated to make a joke - have the British lost their sense of humour and 2) because public sector workers are only being asked to put up with the reduction in pensions that we private sector workers had to endure some years back. The new offer still puts them in a much better position than most private sector people - I wonder what driving instructors have to shell out to build any sort of pension at all
I dont think it came across as a joke watching it on the telly Leo , I also know Piers Morgan was spitting nails on twitter!
I'm with you Leo, where did they lose their sense of humour, he did it to get a reaction and by jove he did
