My list's hardly the work of a professional, I went for a mixture of definitely maybe's and some long shots based on the fact that they have suffered from past depressions and might slip back into their darkness. Eileen Derbyshire's a speculative might die on the job (working) in the style of Alf Roberts, and she does look old these days, then again, having survived Hillman maybe she's an immortal?

I'd rather be in Mongolia. Zimbabwe and Haiti are touch and go at the moment though... I have what you might refer to as "skin colour issues" that would hamper my residency under Bobby's regime but give certain areas of England a few years and I'm sure it would level out. You're right, there's areas where I live I wouldn't go to in the day, never mind at night, and to be fair it's not even about "skin colour" anymore, there's an underclass that's developed, I sometimes wonder if it's been developed deliberately.

I recall that Wolves hooligan plunging through their stadium roof many moons ago.

Are they in the Conference or have they sunk even lower? Ultimately it would seem they're descending into hell

if the manner of Italy's "triumph" at the World Cup, or the current state of the scudetto, are anything to go by, then good riddance I say. Catenaccio - Italian for "we're a boring bunch of bastards". There was no Catenaccio last night that's for sure. It makes up for sitting in a bar in Southern France watching them fluke the World Cup. Ciao Italia

I sat in Old Trafford last night and watched Italian Football die, or was it murdered?

IIRC, the turbo boost limit was reduced from 4 bar to 2.5 bar in 1988 (this means it had a pop off valve to limit the amount of pressurised air being forced into the engine), and turbos were outlawed in 1989 - thus bringing forth the amazing era of up to 39 cars trying to qualify for a Grand Prix. Those were the days... So what was the deal with the car that had six wheels for a season or two. An Elf, maybe? I'd love to know the thinking behind adding an extra 33% of contact area between car and road. Wasn't the six wheeler a Tyrell? -
WHAT!!!!???? I'm not sayin' it's perfect, like, but I'm guessing you'd sooner be here than, say, Zimbabwe, Mongolia, Haiti.... I'd agree with it being better here than Zimbabwe and Haiti, not sure about Mongolia though.

Hmmmm everyone born in 1967 must be special in some way for sure, 1+9+6+7 = 23 -
you're actually going to all these games? Yes, the Bradford v Oldham is an annual thing and my girlfriend's father's managed to acquire tickets for the Roma and Chelsea games. If he keeps providing tickets for OT and Stamford Bridge, you better get that ring! The Chelsea game is the FA Cup semi final, it's at Old Trafford. Of course, of course. How silly of me... Still...FA Semi-Final, you lucky so-and-so! Yep, I have to admit both the Old Trafford ticket offers came out of the blue, I'd be a fool not to take them.

I've a fixture pile up next week; Monday: Bradford City v Oldham, hopefully Oldham will put a nail into the relegation coffin of the Bantams. Tuesday: Ringside seats for Manchester United v Roma. Sunday: Ringside seats again for Chelsea v Blackburn, hopefully Blackburn will manage to turn the rich boys over. Funny thing is, I'm not that mad about football , it's all about the experience.

Are you insinuating that his list of hobbies could potentially be of the same nature as those of Mr King or Mr Glitter, as opposed to drinking weak lemon squash commonly preferred by hobbyists? Actually now you ask me, no, it's something much more sinister if the voices are speaking the truth. In some ways it has a tie in to this forum, though the link is an extenuous one to say the least.

Jimmy's apparently 80. He must be taking a strange combination of drugs to look the way he does Hmmm if the Leeds rumours about him are true it isn't drugs he does...
-
Isn't it true that no birds will fly in the airspace above Auschwitz? We're commemorating it to deflect attention away from the hiding we're taking in Afghanistan and to a lesser extent in Iraq. Maybe that's the reason?

Well, they should have known better. They don't even kill Kenny off these days. They got bored of that. So I suppose it would be the only logical move to go from killing Kenny, to killing the Queen. I thought she commits suicide, so technically she kills herself
-
You're right, he should have demanded she apologise for Prince Harry!
-
Let's be fair, they wanted Scolari for the job and they blew it. If Scolari had taken the job at least there'd have been honesty when dropping Lampard rather than the lame excuse that he'd injured his hand, when apparently the Chelsea doctor has said there's nothing wrong with his hand. Talk about ducking the issue.

Did he replace Farmer Barleymow as Bod's assistant? When did this happen? I'd always had Frank the Postman down as his natural successor. Shows what I know eh? I stand corrected! I better send myself off
-
Isn't he assistant Manager already? I get a bit bored of the Venables for the England job calls, he never qualified for anything as an England Manager and he never won anything as an England Manager, granted he did okay at Barcelona in the 1980s, but we're talking 20 years ago, he wasn't a roaring success at some of the other clubs he went onto manage and his financial dealings have required scrutiny in the past allegedly. They might as well employ Bod and Farmer Giles as England Managers.

To some people probably not, likely to be a non Jewish person, likely to work for some left wing council and have too much time on their hands. Reminds me of the Gulf War in 1991, when Massive Attack changed their name to Massive so as not to offend anyone. Funny, I found the dead children I kept seeing on TV each night due to another well aimed cruise missile more offensive than the name Massive Attack.

Do they mean unbalance? As in: unhinged, tapped, doolally, one step away from shoving two pencils up his nostrils and a pair of crusty Y-fronts on his head, shouting a sthz sthz sthz sthz sthz Chrissy Wibble? What new tricks can you teach me TLC? Apparently it's an imbalance he's had for just short of 21 years, it involves his right arm shooting into the air as the ball comes over and he knows he can't get his head on it. (or was it his left arm, not sure but that's what it is).
