Are you sure? Only it's usual to get hairier as age increases not the other way round. Have you been wearing your slippers too long, maybe the circulation is suffering?
The last time I looked I had the feet but no hair. No hair on my feet that is as I have plenty of hair everywhere else.
You say that I've abandoned my thread, that he'll surely live a miserable life and die without my parental guidance, but look how he's blossomed into a fine young thread, taking the world on and going strong!
Joe you are a disgrace. You should be nurturing your offspring and protecting it from all the horrible things posters on this site could expose it too. Not leaving it exposed to all the evils of the world. You should be grateful to Fran who found it wandering around lost and brought it home. She and I and one or two others have been keeping an eye on it for you but we have other demands on our time and cannot be surrogate parents I know I can't not at my age. This thread needs someone to take it out on trips, teach it to swim and to play football with it in the garden and I can't do any of those things. From time to time it will need new clothes and my meagre pension wont run to that dammit as TSS knows I can't even afford socks for myself. As a parent you are a bit of a let down and I hope on graduation you do not specialise in family law.
Actually, it was me who found it in the depths of page 2 and about to be lost in the mists of page 3. I'd popped back after a few hours of work away and expected the thread to be hale and hearty. Instead, I found it cold and miserable, unloved by all, and jostled by other unwanted or used up threads. There were a few down there telling stories of exciting times, but knowing that their best days were beyond them. One only needed to read their titles to see that. Most knew they were quietly going to a better place. I was only able to stay for a few moments that time, as I had matters pressing, so I cleaned up the little thing, wrote a new entry, and placed it on page 1 where I knew Fran would at the very least bump it. This she did, and a little more too. Now read on...
Once upon a time a quite reckless and irresponsible young lawyer took it upon himself to release into the world abandoned, unloved and uncared for a lonely waif the product of his own personal and reckless behaviour undertaken without consideration for the consequences. This poor neglected waif was left for many hours alone and neglected having to fend for itself in a hostile and unpleasant place full of strange people with very strange names. There was no one to care for or to love it as the only parent it knew was a neglectful and callous father who claimed every benefit possible and then spent all the money in the pursuit of his own pleasure. At first our little waif, the hero of this very sad tale, thought it was in heaven as many of these strange people were called Saint something or other but it quickly realised that this was a misnomer and that he was in fact adrift in a sea of evil. On reviewing the situation our waif took upon itself to escape but unfortunately the Wicked Witch of the South Island otherwise known as Fran Ken Stein ensnared our little hero and with the aid of her henchman the evil dark hooded TSS was taken back at frightening speed on the pillion seat of a motorcycle to the living hell that was the Southampton thread on not606. With tears rolling down our abandoned thread’s cheek and meekly crying for its neglectful father our poor waif befriended a kind old gentleman with a walking stick who looked a bit like Father Christmas. Little did our poor lost soul know but this seemingly kindly looking old man had evil intentions. This evil man intended to use our hero as a means to take revenge on his father, the red aproned Joe Steinberg an evil lawyer with whom he had crossed swords in the past. In a flash the thoroughly evil and up to no good Godders.......... To be continued by someone.
I'm not going to start a new thread for this old Saints - West Ham match I came across on Youtube, but as the more mature members of the board are keeping this thread afloat, then sticking this here seems appropriate. Watch out for a cracking little goal from Painer, and one of his trademark crosses. Lots of the old school in this one, and some of the players are World Cup winners. Although he's not named, I think Harry Redknapp [7] makes a cross, though I'm not certain. Oh, and Tom Jenkins makes an appearance, and does a typical run. The names are a roll-call of British football. Saints 3-3 West Ham. [video=youtube;qSSq6ShK1Ck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSSq6ShK1Ck[/video] EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention - I was there..!
Here's another one I was entirely unaware was on Youtube, and I've never seen it before. A 23 minute tribute to Matt Le Tissier - A Legend of the Barclays Premier League. Nice one: [video=youtube;dO6ypZmDXkI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dO6ypZmDXkI#![/video]
I've been struggling to sleep at night, and I think it's because I've been experiencing some guilt. It is a feeling that I had previously been totally unfamiliar with. Anyway, I decided to give my abandoned thread a visit and see how he's faring in this big, scary world. Glad to see he's made it to the age of nine [pages] and is looking healthy. Clearly his foster parents have been treating him well.
No we haven't. I have been using its child allowance to buy ***s and Fran has....well I'll leave her to confess.
