    Happy Retirement! Whats prompted it? Just a natural conclusion, or fed up of working? 66 is a good stint to work to though!
  3. Sneekes used to run a cracking Italian restaurant in Wylde Green.
  4. Harry Arter. £40k a week for Forest and not kicked a ball for them in 3 years. Nice work Only remembered him due to seeing a YT short.

    As long as you wear trousers and don't drive a big SUV, you should be ok.

    Former for me. Live a good retirement (25 years) to 80 and slip away in my sleep. That would be ideal. I've seen three Grandparents live into their 90s and basically had been waiting to die for 10 years as their bodies, and minds, gave away around them.

    Liverpool

    He's your best friend when he's winning, but an absolute word removed when he loses. A proper bully in that respect.

    Unai Emery

    Yeah its rubbish being 4th and in a European QF, while having more than our fair share of injuries in defence and midfield.

    Happy belated Birthday. I'm 45 in a few months. 18 years a member of VT. Its been one of the very few constants of my adult life.

    My Dad is 74 later this year and looks and feels better than he did 10 years ago when he was working. Retirement agrees with him. I am aware that a lot of people do die in their 70s and that worries me. Saying that, his parents both lived into their 90s.
  12. Considering what happened to the Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, I will put on record I love Boeing's and they are in no way poorly built and dangerous.
  13. My great grandad was born in Dublin. I think that excludes me! I'll have a traditional English day instead - chicken tikka masala and a pint of carling!

    Unai Emery

    Hearing fans thinking they have more tactical nous/insight than an established winner of a manager makes me think of the coach scene in Mike Bassett
  15. Good point noting the injury problems we have, plus McGinn's suspension, Emery is clearly trying to manage the workload of the players.
  16. Sadomasochism? I'll admit I didn't watch the game, just saw the result. A point away to a top 10 premier league team / Europa quarterfinalist, whist having 70% possession seems ok to me?Just on the face of it. Especially as we are missing so many key players in midfield. Ah well. I'm content, even if others aren't.
  17. Me too. I thought we'd shut the stadium and liquidated the club after last week!
  18. I can only speak for myself, but I didn't read it as Tony telling you to throw yourself off Beachy Head... I read it as telling the people letting the tyres down to do it!
  19. "Police had to stop in front of our seats to pull the old boys trousers up, just before UB40 walked past down to the half way line" Sounds like something Alan Partridge would say! That is comedy genius. One of the best sentences I have read. Bravo.
