Morning Dribs, morning all! Shocking omission from the above: Today, in 1913, 'Sir' William Shankly was born in Glenbuck, East Ayrshire, Scotland. Liverpool Legend!
I think Dribs just took a sample from the list on wikipedia. Not sure why that exact selection was made. Perhaps random. Regardless: SHANKLY'S BIRTHDAY IS TODAY!!!!! Perhaps I didn't make that clear last time.
I NOTICE THAT NONE OF YOU BOTHER YOUR BACKSIDES CREATING A TRIBUTE TO SHANKS ON HIS BIRTHDAY THREAD... ergo.... get to phook.
I brought it to the board's attention, so my work here is done. Someone else can do it. I'm doing a Greez. I don't suppose you want to atone for your blasphemy with a Shankly birthday thread, MITO?
Im off lads, got a banging head. Still hungover from weekend festival I think, those group of mancs around my tent were friendly, they took it jokingly when I was joking about their 6 pointer V Burnley ad generally were a nice bunch They wasnt laughing so much when we won 3-0 though! Some even said they wanted us to win it last season and not City! Anyway, going to stick some tunes on and chill out, night all
