Jay, FFS pal get a grip! Me, I’ve had a stiffy on for three days...get a grip!
The question is Masky, who's been gripping yours for the last 3 days and do they have the strength to maintain it for another 3.
Sounds to me like they may need treatment for RSI . Repetitive stonker injury.
As if Doris didn't have enough problems.
BFB pal, back in the day I could hang 3 glass beer tankards (full) on Peter! Can’t do it anymore though, can’t get that kind of drinking glass anymore! 
Didn't have to hang mine on Sebastian. Could free stand them plus a couple of whiskey chasers.
I wish.
I wish.
Tut.... all this talk of hanging glasses....
I always found it easier to balance a tray on it... that way you can carry the beers plus the wine cooler, wine glass and bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for missus Brizzle.

Never has before. Why should he now?
What does he call his todger and how much can he balance on it?
Bet he can't beat Brizzle.
I'M LOVING THIS FROM THE BEEB
The permutations
Cardiff
Cardiff will claim the second automatic promotion place if they win, or if they at least match Fulham's result at Birmingham.
Third-placed Fulham, who will start one point behind Cardiff, will be promoted if they better Cardiff's result.
Reading
Reading will be safe if they avoid defeat, as long as Burton do not win at Preston by more than 20 goals.
If the Royals lose, they will go down if all of the following three results happen:

Cardiff City, who will be promoted back to the Premier League if they match Fulham's result at Birmingham City, will be without midfielder Aron Gunnarsson (knee).
Marko Grujic or Craig Bryson are set to deputise for the Iceland international.
Reading welcome back long-term injury absentees centre-back Paul McShane and winger Callum Harriott.
Defenders Tyler Blackett (banned) and Omar Richards (calf) are out but winger Leandro Bacuna returns from suspension.

Reading manager Paul Clement told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"After the Ipswich defeat (4-0 at home), I thought about playing the under-23s side for this fixture. But that's not reality or sensible to do that.
"There will be a couple of changes. Players have been focused and know that we've missed a couple of opportunities in the past two games to make ourselves safe.
"But, we've not played well in those games and we have to do a lot better in what is a very, very big challenge on Sunday.
"It's a big game for us, but it's also a massive game for them and they'll be some nerves from their side as well."

Bollock on the move!

Bollock on the move!Right, to avoid any jinxing, I'm going to be sat in the middle of Lake Vyrnwy on a 15' boat fishing for trout tomorrow. No phone signal, no internet. Won't find the result til I'm back on dry land about 7pm.
Don't know which would be worse, listening to it on the radio or not knowing.

Hopefully there won't be any pouting after the result.
A win for Warnock and as far as promotions are concened eel be sat on his perch as top dog (fish), no trout about it.
Even if we win there'll be a ray of tope for reading in the playoffs, though the sharks will be circling.
