errrmmm doubt it Kel... Im told I am a cutie, so I just take that as I wont burn away a persons Cornea on initial sight :P


pick a number between 1 and 10, whats the first number you think off?

I watched the Leeds United v Manchester United game last night which was marred by moronic chanting about the stabbing of a Leeds fan in Instabul, the Leeds fans to their credit did not resort to taunts about the munich crash. Whats wrong with people. Otherwise good performance by United, and also by Palace and Stoke.
I always find 'away' fans to be much worse. As an Everton fan at away games, many a time I've been sickened by what I've heard my fellow 'supporters' chant and sing. Yet, hardly ever hear anything offensive at Goodison. Maybe the away games attract the scum more (who are still in the minority thankfully).

Hibbs, they do intimate that it shouldn't really be talked about but I guess that's just because not everyone out there is comfortable with the whole nudity thing.


All in all it was a good event - the masks were a nice touch, perhaps a bit tooo much chanting and I'm undecided as to whether I'm entirely down with the, well, the slaughtering-a-goat aspect of it. Just not sure it really added anyhing positive to the event.


That said, there were some great characters there (the high priest is absolutely priceless - a real card) and I'll probably be popping down to the forest again next Thursday.

Each year i seem to have a self indulgent look at the spurs squad, invariably setting myself up for a fall when we end up doing sod all this season


but our subs and injured list for this weekend would make a decent first xi


Subs from Cudicini, Gomes, Pienaar, Huddlestone, Giovani, Bassong, Corluka, Falqu?, Livermore, Sandro, Townsend


Injured Gallas (calf, 29 Sep), Kranjcar (hamstring, 29 Sep), Lennon (groin, 29 Sep), Pavlyuchenko (hamstring, 2 Oct), Dawson (achilles, 2 Oct)

From the Mirror...Tributes paid to former commentator David Francey after his death aged 87 included an anecdote in which the Radio Scotland football host asked an off-air colleague to the name of a Romanian player and then announced: ?On the ball is the big blond striker, Fuktifano.?

Oh I don't know... maybe Man. City could loan him to West Ham? The team could do with the fire-power and he knows he's loved at Upton Park.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
