strange bright yellow thing in the sky here in Whittle-le-Woods!

Obviously! it was a genuine question which @Mattyblue has answered. I assume that he will qualify for either country then, given the reply.

Just on Telalovic, everyone seems to keep referring to him as 'the German' - I know he came to us from Germany, but I thought he was Bosnian?

The bar in the BBE nearest the Riverside had 4 queues and 3 people serving! To add to this, they've introduced 'Pie, Mash, Peas & Gravy' (I'm not even getting started with the £7.50 asking price!) which then takes each person serving around a minute to do as they get the pie from the warmer, grab a tray, spoon in the mash, spoon in the peas, take the pie out of it's wrapper, put it in the tray, put the wrapper in the bin, ladle on the gravy and then sprinkle with parsley! (fuckin' parsley!!!!). I nearly lost my shit before the game as people kept on ordering this and then to top it all off, the guy in front of me said "oh, and 2 teas please" and I then had to watch on again as the hot water thingy dribbled hot water into the cups at a rate of 1 litre per month! What happened to a good old tea urn?

Add to that Sancho is now training with the kids after his twitter (sorry 'X') outburst.

Excellent result. Superb goal from Hedges. I'm a happy camper! Loved the fact JDT used his interview on Sky to repeat what he said the other day. IMO it was him making sure the owners heard it - can imagine his thinking, they might not catch up online with BBC lancs, but there's a bloody good chance they'll be watching Sky! He also made me chuckle with his quip about it being nearly bedtime for half of the team! (ie i need some experienced players!) 😅

Thoughts & prayers with his family. Taken way too soon. Ewood will be a strange place for a while without hearing his voice. RIP Matt

Currants with a John Bull? Don't be disgusting! 🤣 (With chips, peas & gravy actually)

Well folks, I'm proud to announce that I'm not a virgin anymore. Tonight I have been penetrated with John Bull's meaty goodness! 😅 My daughter's team had a pre-season friendly at Blacksnape, KO 6:45. Hmm, I thought. Perhaps a detour to Holly Tree Chippy on the way is in order here. So that's exactly what we did (me & the missus that is). Damn fine they were too!

Wasn't sure where to put this, but as it's related to Chelsea's new goalkeeper I'll put it here. This really wound me up when I've just read it: 25 Apps for Liverpool, 50 for Spurs! 288 for Rovers. Hell, he even made 114 for Villa. Do Sky even know about any clubs other than the 'Big 6'?

I think that's probably why I preferred it. I always found lilt to be a bit sharp.

She certainly used to 'Can the Can'

I always used to love this - didn't last too long ('82 - '89 apparently) so I must've been one of a minority that did. To me it was an improvement on Lilt (which is now re-branded as Fanta something or other)

Woah! What the hell have they done to the packaging? Where's the inner bog roll cardboard tube wrapped in paper with the liquorice sticking out? I'm sorry but the kids of today have no idea what we had to go through trying to eat one - soggy paper, sherbet sticking to it. You've run out of liquorice, so you try to get the bit at the bottom by licking your finger, then you realise your finger won't reach to the bottom so you put the open end of the tube up to your mouth and tap the other end. Nothing comes out so you tap a bit harder. Now, at this point one of two things happens depending on how you've positioned your mouth as there was always more left in than you imagined - either you end up with a face full of sherbet and eyes stinging like a bitch, or if you go for the "full gob open over the tube" approach, you suddenly end up looking like a rabid dog as it all fizzes up in your mouth with a bit of the ripped soggy paper stuck to your lip. Anyone else, or just me? 😆

David James wasn't it?

Wow! He shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of a football stadium if he thinks like that! (Perhaps that's why they're keeping him tucked away at Stockley Park!)

After his errors last season and that last night, I'm beginning to think this Michael Salisbury chap sits in the VAR room watching Netflix 'cos he's certainly not watching the f*cking game!

TBF, it would be handy, I suffer badly with heartburn! 😆

Jeez, I guess I should've used a laughing emojii at the end of my post!

Not verified, but I did see a leaked photo of him on his first day at Brockhall:

Automatic one game ban but could be longer after a review due to it being for violent conduct - so says Gabby Logan anyway!

Excellent read. Fair play to Ramsdale there.

I have yeah, a few times tbh and they're great. Admittedly, not as good as that first bite when pissed though, saying to the missus "ahh babe, you gotta try these, they're f*cking awesome" 😄

Gotta say guys & gals, I've had a right good giggle (and one or 2 LOLs) reading the last few pages. Anyway, I've got a couple here for you to try (or not) Crumpet Pizzas - Admittedly alcohol fuelled this one, you know, when you come in and the only places you think to look are the bread bin & the fridge. So, here I am with a block of cheese in one hand, a pepperami in the other looking longingly at the crumpets in the bread bin. Doesn't need much imagination to work out what I did - sliced cheese, sliced pepperami, on crumpet, under the grill - awesome! Next one is something my Grandad used to do when I was a kid. Try not to gip, trust me it tastes great - dunking your toast in your cup of tea (NOT coffee, has to be tea). Admittedly, you do get an oil slick on the top of your brew which isn't the best, but the dunked toast....😋

After reading through the transfer thread and all the latest news I think we could choose from either of a couple of Basement Jaxx songs. Firstly "Where's Your Head At", cos mine's absolutely mashed with reading about Indian Tax Laws etc, or "Red Alert" - No explanation needed!
