I’ve had a few flights where suddenly, ‘what the fuck’ episodes have happened. I’m not a nervous flyer, far from it. AFAIC the flight is part of the holiday experience. However, I’d rather be sucked off at 40,000 feet than sucked out. |

Listening to a commentator state that historically Spain have always been there or thereabouts in relation to winning the World Cup, I often when people think football 'history' began
Straight out the "Book of Matterface"? |

But I can't remember any of the ads Kev only where the numbers are on my remote😀
I can't see any advantage of playing the ball at its nearest point as it's all about the delivery and most are average at best.
There's probably a multitude of factors JQ. Some that may seem bizarre to us street/pub/amateur/part-time footballers will have some logic...or maybe if I channel my inner Reg, it'll be a jobs for the boys thing so a retiring player needs a job 'Ahh, I know what this club needs...a "corner specific quadrant strategist", let's employ <<ins recently retired footballer-pundit>>!' That's the cynic in me but obviously there will be genuine need for some roles that we might never think of; every club needs a decent scapegoat or cone carrier after all and it's usually a well paid job  |

Trying to bollock a group of Albanian builders who are building a house next to ours. Fucking concrete all over the place - on our balcony, on the car, the bikes, the drive. Then they hose the fucking lot down the drain!
Pretend they don’t understand but I spied the driver of the concrete lorry laughing his arse off.
Fuckers.

Enjoyable as always mate! Life would be very dull without a regular Bamboo experience😀 |

They’re building the house next door. Nothing to do with me. One of them was actually on my balcony hosing bits of concrete down the drain. |

Didn’t matter who employs them does it. My point is still valid. |

I want to buy a Swindon Town mug for the office. Big crest on the side, maybe 'Swindon Town FC' underneath that. That's it. A colleague has a Fulham one. Simple design, no fuss.
Can I find one of these? No. Nothing. I can get a personalised mug, a retro mug, a mug with a 1970s badge on it, a mug with any player (past or present) I can think of. A mug with a man weeing on an Oxford shirt. But I don't want any of these mugs. I just want a plain old Swindon Town mug. I am the proud owner of a minimalist Don Rogers mug with no lettering, just Don's tache and a red shirt. So don't get me wrong - I'm all for clever mug design when it suits me. Just not now.
The only mug that approximates to this has our shirt on it...so it's red, has a tiny STFC club crest and 'Bartercard' in massive letters. So it's not really a Swindon mug at all. It's a Bartercard mug. I don't want that mug.
It's a small gripe, I know. But it annoys me.

Wouldn't this do you.... https://theterracestore.com/collections/swindon-town/products/swindon-town-ardiles-legend-mug  Funny thing looking at it just how many seem to major on the shirt sponsor rather than club badge! |
