    Talk of £4million bonus if he keeps C Palace in the Premiership.....Palace ain't to far from me.....so with Charlton they are local favourites.

    BUT....I wouldn't be to disappointed if they got relegated....just to spite fiddling Allardyce...who is always looking for what's in it for him.

    So Ken Dodd gets a Knighthood.

    1.....On Friday there was a tap on the door. That plumber's got a funny sense of humour.

    2.....I have kleptomania but when it gets bad, I take something for it.

    3.....Try shoving an ice cube down your wifes front at night....." there's the chest freezer you wanted".

    4.....5 out of 3 people have trouble understanding fractions.

    5.....So it turns out that if you bang two halves of a horse together, it doesn't make the sound of a coconut.

    6.....Did you hear about the shrimp that went to the prawn's party ? . He pulled a mussel.

    Happy and prosperous new year to all of you.

    Q.....What do you call a three legged donkey.....
    A.....A wonkey donkey.

    Q.....What do you get hanging from Father Christmas' roof.....

    The claws of the Ginsters empire is spreading........they have just bought "The Cornwall Pasty Company" who where worth a few £million.....they do have some lucrative outlets in Railway Stations around the country.....I think I can remember one in Victoria Station London.

    Maybe the Prediction League wooden spoon winner this year ....might be able to ask for a Cornwall Pasty Company offering instead of the dreaded Ginster one.

    CPC make half decent pasties, although not as good as my own! Very worrying development for all Cornishmen living north of the border.

    Don't they do the motorway service stations as well? Like all service station fare they ain't cheap that's for sure. They also sell things containing cheese and onion for example and still call that a pasty. Shocking.

    No, a pasty may only contain potato and swede/turnip, sliced not in chunks, salt and pepper, onion and skirt beef or similar, never mince. A small knob of butter may be added to boost the gravy content, especially if the meat lacks fat. That's the law.

    These are foreigners though notdistant. There are no boundaries to their ignorance of how things Cornish should be. I once got sold a pasty on Paddington Station buffet which contained nothing but sausage meat. That's a sausage roll I protested. No sir it's in pastry so it's a pasty I was informed. I got a refund. That's worse than shocking. I agree your contents by the way. I would suggest though that it's swede rather than turnip everytime although turnip may be used in emergencies only.

    Drove to Manchester today in readiness for tomorrow. For no particular reason, other than we weren't in any rush or on a deadline, I stuck to the speed limit or very close to it. Absolutely amazed at a, how much less tiring it was and b, how much less fuel I used compared with the normal 80-85mph drive. Back to Plymouth Monday via Reading, might do the whole round trip on two tanks at this rate!

    Well Lyndy, yes it will use a lot less fuel.. Put it on cruise control at the limit and sit back, you dont have to keep looking in the mirror for the traffic cops!
    Have a good day tomorrow and a safe trip .. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Copied from another site. was upset to read this as i know that feeling, but my son is alive still..

    So hope fully the Applause will happen.. have a read.

    Hello guys.
    I'm Daniels Dad and I wrote the post on Liverpool FC Facebook page at about half one this morning. Obviously I'm struggling to sleep at the moment. I just wanted to pay respect to the way I was treated by both the staff and police at what was the worst moment of my life. Daniel was a severely disabled young man, he was 25yrs old. He was born with two holes in his heart but was able bodied at this point but had a corrective surgery operation at the age of six months old. Unfortunately he was a victim of medical negligence and the operation was a disaster. He suffered massive brain injury during the operation which left him as a quadriplegic cerebral palsy sufferer. He was left blind and epileptic so his life became a real struggle for him. He was a real fighter tho and outlived all life expectancy predictions.
    On Sunday he died from a cardiac arrest. I'm happy in the knowledge that he didn't suffer s he never regained consciousness and fell asleep peacefully. I described in my post the brilliant way I was looked after whilst at Anfield as I got a phone call from my older son as I was entering Anfield. The post I wrote has gone viral with thousands of comments of support, not only from Liverpool fans but from all over the country. I've had over 120 pm's alone. Liverpool fans first suggested clapping for a minute at the 25 min mark in the replay. If that was to happen I for one would be very proud as would his family.
    I hope to be there for the game dependant on Daniels funeral which hasn't been arranged yet. Thank you to all those football fans that have messaged or commented on various sites. I have been completely humbled. Thank you Kevin May

    Yes I read this before and think it's a lovely gesture on the dad's part to take time out to thank them. I also think it's a wonderful story of how football people should be. There is another story doing the rounds about a liverpool supporter who was visible upset at the Hillsborough memorial and was comforted by an Argyle supporter. I posted on the liverpool board that I thought this was both a touching story and how great it is to see football supporters acting like human beings rather than the racist stuff we saw with Chelsea supporters in France. I am at a lose to know why people can't just be like this anyway as it makes the whole planet a nicer place to be in. From me to all concerned <applause><applause><applause><applause><applause><applause><applause><applause><applause>

    Yep agreed, that is how all fan's should be. But that wont change. Liverpool - man u this weekend, dont think they will be as friendly towards each other. Also the comments and chanting that will go on. both sets are the same.. Its not all of them tho.. they are in every ground a few moron's .

    As for this story its good that this will happen next week to pay the respects and i hope his dad also manages to get to the match.. top man..

    Just been looking at the photos of the Mayflower extra seating being installed (on GoS).

    A scaffolding framework being put together just like a meccano kit.....which the seats will be bolted to.....seems a shame to take it all down if we lose.

    If we win than there is the Wolves game in round 4....and not long after Exeter as well which would both create a demand.
