Here on the Smith bandwagon. The guy is something else.

Absolutely stunning performance this Ashes series

To be completely honest I have forgotten what it was all about. Was it something about him signing a new contract then saying **** it after 2 weeks?

Essentially was captain and set to leave, changed his mind and said he was not leaving and pledged to stay. Made a video that was played and all sorts. Then changed his mind again and left.

Wouldn't have minded too much but it was him who spoke about loyalty etc 

Delph is probably the only ex Villa player that I would never want to see here in a shirt again. Biggest snake going and will never forget or forgive him for what he did

I have no issues with players moving on but there are certain ways you should conduct yourselves as a player and even more so as a man. Absolutely detest the bloke

Anyway more back on topic, Maxi would be great and although unlikely I don't think it is impossible. I believe we need to make at least 1 big signing to show our intent not just to players we want to sign but to the likes of Jack, John and Tyrone etc

Think what happened at Coventry was a consequence of the nature of the company who “bought” them, not any specific deal on the ground, although obviously the ground has featured large in the drama. The lesson is don’t invite crooks to run your club.

Sorry I haven't been on to respond, Coventry would have been my first example as they are the biggest at the moment. The owners essentially stripped the assets out for a quick buck. Not saying that is what is happening here but the ground would no longer be owned by the club, that means we have to rent indefinitely and renting is dead money. Another example would be (on a much smaller scale) Worcester City.

It's not like our owners need cash to profit from selling VP on in the future so if it puts £100m into the club to eradicate ffp issues, then I'm all for it.

Greed knows no bounds, too much risk with the club not owning their own ground

Forums where you cannot like your own posts, I'm bloody funny and should be able to give myself the laughing emoji

People who like their own statuses on facebook and random forums

*Also just realised i cannot like my own post on here so that hasn't worked

The fact that I am not in the slightest bit bothered with a Villa loss anymore, had this before when we were in the Premier and getting spanked every week. Lost all interest 

Its now happened again, mathematically we have something to play for but realistically not. Football has not been the be all and all that it used to be for a few years but I am now at the point where I genuinely don't care. I am much more bothered whether my sausages get overcooked on my breakfast, haven't been to a game now in the best part of 3 months and haven't missed it at all. Been to watch my local team a few times and honestly get more enjoyment out of it, its 5 minutes away and considerably cheaper.

Hopefully the interest comes back next season 

seeing as though its Valentines -

"If you step on a purple mushroom, you'll be forced to marry the ugliest person in the world," warned the old gnome, so the man continued carefully through the woods. He didn't step on any purple mushrooms.

Suddenly a beautiful woman walked up and said: "We have to marry."

"Why?" asked the man, smiling.

"I just stepped on one of those pesky purple mushrooms!" she replied.

Did you hear about the bed bugs who fell in love? They’re getting married in the spring!

Jim asked his friend, Tony, whether he had bought his wife anything for Valentine's Day.

'Yes,' came the answer from Tony who was a bit of a chauvinist, 'I've bought her a belt and a bag.'

'That was very kind of you,' Jim added, 'I hope she appreciated the thought.'

Tony smiled as he replied, 'So do I, and hopefully the vacuum cleaner will work better now.'

i on the odd occasion have handed money over to someone on the streets but not for a long time. Being honest, i don't buy them tea or food or anything. I think the more you see the the more desensitised you become to it. It has now become so normal to be asked and normal to respond sorry I don't have any that i don't even think about it anymore. Whether someone smokes or drinks has no bearing on the situation for me, if they are wearing a Rolex that is a different kettle of fish.

The only time I get annoyed is if I am with my lad, he is 5 and frankly I think its a bit bad to be stopping people with kids. I guess it works though as probably tugs at the heartstrings 

This is one i am really divided on but ultimately think it has been blown out of proportion

Was what he did wrong? Yes. Was what he said wrong? Again yes. Should he now be ostracised 40 years after the (non) event to the extent he is? Definitely not 

He was younger and very angry as I am sure we all would be. He knows he was wrong, that's it move on. We have all been irrational and done things in rage and thought after the fact, s**t i shouldn't have done that.

If something had happened it would have been a racially motivated attack no question, do I think he is racist? Again no

Also don't agree he should be commended for speaking about it either, just put it under Friday's fish and chips and move on. There are plenty of other modern day news stories and bigoted/racist opinions that people can get angry about and actually make a difference

After reading a couple of comments in this thread I decided to have a gander at the Sherwood thread

I can confirm that it also annoys me. Cant stand on topic when we are on a bad run, its all so depressing. so the Sherwood thread gets a vote from me along with Peppa bloody pig

Maybe Trump saw the episode and thought "yeah let's go with that" rather than the Simpsons correctly predicting 15 years in advance. I think that is the sort of thing Trump would do

Toy Story

Digging up this old thread.

Anyone have any advice on mixing your own liquid? Alternatively any fairly cheap nice fruity tasting ones? Looking at a 50/50 mix or 60/40 in favour of VG around 6-9mg

Stayed up all night wondering where the sun went . . . . . . Then it dawned on me

Why is Peter Pan always flying?

Because he Neverlands

 

 

Ive started playing again, anyone on here playing ?

 

If so, what's your handicap ?

Yeah I play. Only get out for a round every couple of weeks so I am stuck around a 24 handicap. Not official though

 

What about you?

 

I love the nature as much as the golf, green fields makes you feel good.

 

I have hcp 9 atm, will drop when i learn how to shoot straight with my driver.

 

Ever played at the belfry ?

 

No never. I am looking to go, probably next year. I know a couple of people who have corporate there but I am waiting until I can get sub 20 on the Handicap front.

Is it a nice course to play?

Does it really 'really annoy' you? Seriously? Why does it bother you that much?

It does yes, with the exception of the likes someone else has mentioned Gerrard, Scholes etc. They play for the club because they loved that club and wouldn't celebrate out of loyalty. On the other side of the coin you get players who have been at a club for a couple of seasons and do the same, you don't owe us anything as you were not here long enough.

I just really don't get it. Anyway off topic and my lunch has finished. 

 

The main one there appears to be that the social media policy states that if employees see anything on SM then they must bring it to someones attention, and 4 in-store managers did not do this, so how can they be deemed unacceptable?

I'm not sure that will help you as that's surely just a negative mark against those managers?

I don't think it's an effective argument to say that you haven't been stopped for speeding before...

 

I definitely wouldn't mention this and other managers etc as it sounds petty and you are just trying to drag others into your mess. Also all they have to say is they didn't see those posts. You cannot prove that they have seen them so it is pointless mentioning them and may jeopardize any friendships

Hope we have some class and sing his song on his return!

I really hope we don't. I will clap when his name is read out but I will not be singing for an opposition player whoever they are.

Also on the non celebrating after scoring against a former club - celebrate all you bloody want. That club are now paying your wages, it really annoys me when players don't bother out of "loyalty"
