The Hornet's Nest

Sri Lanka making mincemeat of NZ. Looks like our performance wasnt so bad after all.

 

We'll be there - 8 of us will be going. Everyone attending must get into one of the best football pubs in the country - it's a total pit. The Blackhorse at Exhall - it's just off junction 3 of the M6 and about a 15 minute walk to the ground. One of my highlights of the season..

 

Our old french car is (partner) has 200000km on the clock ,will give it a service at the weekend when the summer wheels go on! oil oil filter airfilter, !! Its done ok!
Aberdeen at least NZ got to the semis (again) I`ve already drunk the beers you owe me

 

It just so happens that I have a Renault Megane estate car, the same as the one that Yorkie had, except that it has the steering wheel on the correct side.

 

w-y less than a month to go

 

Just spoke to my Mum who told me whilst staying over at Sopwell House at the weekend, the Ghanaian football team were staying there along with some "important people they bowed to". Also she told me that "one of the people who everyone wanted autographs and photos with" (Asamoah Gyan?) tried pushing in front of her in the check-in queue. She told him where to go...

 

My car goes in for an MOT tomorrow - cross fingers

 

We broke through the 3,000 barrier I see - no probs - and this thread is approaching 2,000

 

w-y just checking transport links between gatwick and watford1 Everything shut due to refurb!!!! from gatwick to heathrow wait an hour then get to watford junction ! jouney time 3:32 hrs!!!. train to london victoria (escalator being replaced , cant get out at victoria ,have to mess around the underground to get to euston to watford junction ! cost 55£ journeytime 2:45hrs!! didnt realise that London is so ****ed up transport wise!!!
If I ever do this again will fly to heathrow with SAS (twice the price) coz it will be cheaper!!
I`ve even asked a cab company for a quote , wont even bother giving the cost of that!!!

 

Was a big end failure... but they charged me 1200£ for new fuel injectors first....

all a bit of a mystery.... made a claim and got 550£ back plus a free service.

"Those in the know dont buy renO" - so they say


I now have a skoda

 

Norway you work with helicopters don't you? I seem to remember you were doing an examination on Pratt and Witney engines. Could you not borrow a chopper and land it in Cassiobury Park and walk to the ground. I dare say one of the oil companies would come and stick some fuel in it to get you home again.

 

I see i have just become a senior member.... what does that mean ? .. no jokes please

 

Just that you have passed 100 posts

Congratulations

 

hello all

finally I do have a football problem that needs solving in style

got the blurb on the WL offer through this morning, it says I should seek advice from a qualified financial expert, so...what do I do?

Accept and cash in my (70) shares?

or hang on in the hope that there'll be a bidding war and that I hold the balance of power in the boardroom battle?

Any advice gratefully appreciated, the value of shares can go down aswell as up, your home is at risk etc etc

 

Norwayhornet - I have to go to Victoria everyday (although, if you hadn't heard, NOT FOR LONG!!) and it is OK. They are just advising people to not use Victoria to avoid over crowding and congestion, but it shouldn't be closed (although they may close it on the weekend)

Bit of insider information: if you use the Central and District Line exit, there are no escalator works in that part of the station. If you get on the 3rd from last carriage, the doors will open right opposite the exit you need!

 

I want an easier job. I did see a job in Norway so I might apply if I find out the money.

 

Norway - You are flying in on the 29th? I will check out some more options for you.... Seeing as it is the royal wedding day, I would have thought they would have suspended some of the repairs on the railway. I will check on the Bedpan line and see what is going on there...
Will be a cracking couple of days you will have - my mate who is organising the table at QPHa is also going to the end of season do, so you will be able to carry on the drinking... with him..

 

I read the thread about the take over on 606 and I am more confused than when I started. There are some good points but I think none of us know what is happening and we will never know until Panos and Bassini sell up and go or the club breaks.

 

Aaaah, Norwayhornet, if you are flying in on 29th then Victoria Station in its entirety will be closed as far as I am aware. I have a map of the closures for the Royal Wedding day. I'll try and find it and let you know.

akureyri - I to am very confused with the whole takeover malarkey. It certainly does seem as if some vital information is being kept behind as everything seems so vague. I think we can only wait until we have some more information. It is mostly based on assumption at the moment, which is never good or accurate.

 

It means ewe're no longer a lamb

View attachment 1629 Ahem - may I point out the current score in Munchengladbach? Germany 1 - 2 Australia

Had to bask in that one - it may not last.
