    Or who let their kids go anywhere near the carousel despite the signs telling them not to! Oh, and parents who let their kids ride in shopping trolleys (other than the baby seat, obvs).

    Rooney is fired up for Friday night

    Maybe the players (and the owners) couldn't understand a bloody word he said, like!

    Rooney is fired up for Friday night

    I can only assume that Tom Brady et al had only heard of him because of his reputation as a good player. He's now proven beyond doubt that he ain't manager material. Wonder which clown they will appoint next! PS Can this be moved to "Other Sports" please? Not footy related!

    Death List 2024

    Having recently seen him in The Great Escaper, i'm gonna have to throw Michael Caine in there. Looking quite doddery now. As has become the custom with this list, there's quite a lot of wishful thinking! (Not you, Houchen's Head!!) Who that toss-pot Smithy was i don't know, but simultaneously...

    That's sad - he did some seminal stuff in the 70s and 80s.

    You can bet yer arse the staff are not seeing all of it unless you leave it as cash. Don't know if they do in the States. It makes me laugh that the "add a tip" options on the card readers over there are in percentages - the average American still works in fractions. Decimal fractions are a...

    Death List 2023

    Tom Wilkinson, aged 75, actor in many "Brit" films including The Full Monty and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, as well as loads of telly. Thought he was older, if i'm honest.

    2023 Championship Table

    Interesting, but of course the table is skewed slightly by the absence of the three teams who were promoted, who obviously had the best records. 70 points (from 46 games, not the 47 we have played this year) - or even Boro's 75 - has never been anywhere NEAR getting automatic promotion in any...

    Things that annoy you

    I struggle with all the streaming services tbh. I ditched Amazon unlimited, Apple and Spotify as they were all too "US-centric" with their playlists and stations. I'm with Youtube Music at the moment but it keeps regurgitating the same tracks when i would rather it gave me a bit wider scope. The...

    We have a family friend who was something connected to military intelligence and the GPS system. In response to this question, he said "What gave you the impression that they *weren't*?"

    Did wonder where you were going with that, CvD - the Sky Blue Stand was bulldozed about 18 years ago!

    Empty seats

    I read that as "Have brought numerous mates' Mums ..." - thought you had some kind of gigolo operation going on! As far as attendance figures go, it makes no difference whether ST holders are there or not, they count them as attending. Similarly with every ticket sold. They don't actually know...

    Things that annoy you

    Trigger warnings: I'm also heartily sick to death of the "if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in this item, there is a range of organisations which can provide help and advice, listed on the BBC Action Line (or C4, or whatever) website". The latest was an interview of a woman who...
