inspiration ? i saw the live report this morning on the news about a load of these travellers families still arguing it was their right to stay where they are. I just thought their protected rights were more based around being travellers and not unwanted lodgers digging their heels in for god know how long. As for it being a non football story , well i can only apologise , until i just looked through the last 4-5 pages i didnt realise this was meant for football only talk. I spend some time on other forums which just mixes it up and , well i thought it was the same here. Sorry about that folks !!!
It is the same here WS, there's an eclectic mix of posts that have nowt to do with football or The Tigers.
i went to cott high, and it was full of them, and if you had a fight with one, the next day about 50 of them would turn up with there families and dogs..funniest thing i ever saw, was our wet blanket of a headmaster, slowly walk across the fields to to try and make the baying mob leave, as everybody else was locked inside...he retired shortly after....or thats what they told us
One of the reasons I don't post too much on here now is that non football threads are my favourite and I know they are frowned upon on here by many. I've talked about Hull City on these forums for almost 5 years and so I enjoy discussing other things, BUT the thing is I like discussing other things with Hull City fans, I've had some very good conversations over the years, I've met some very interesting people. I can't stand it when people complain about non footy threads it's a big turn off, I think if all you want to discuss is football then your a sad individual. And YES I know it's a football site but boo ****ing hoo!
I liked the Travelling Wilburys. [video=youtube;cwqhdRs4jyA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwqhdRs4jyA[/video]
