Good to see it's working out so well for the Wetherspoons chap!

Boris, that kid at school who never cared what he did to get attention, as long as he got the attention. Then when told by a responsible adult what he did was foolish and dangerous, especially to others, would then deny it never happened and there was no proof whatsoever he did it and anyway they just made it up because they're jealous of him! He was called Paul in my class.

Trevor Morley got stabbed, allegedly,  by his wife, the story goes he was caught balls deep in Ian Bishop, was obviously all denied with various versions of the event getting told from they were gang banging a bird to Ian Bishop saying he wasn’t even there

Back in the days before "roasting" was even a thing!

Thinking back on this, I remember an indecent that made most daily papers of a fall out between a footballer and his wife. At the time I lived near a football ground and talk in the local pub was about the fact his wife had come home to find him in bed with a team mate. General attitude in the pub seemed to be that it was hardly a secret !

Farage was saying on GB news last night that there was a major incident at the weekend when a dinghy capsized in French waters leaving the 12 economic migrants on boars in the water. Fortunately they were picked up and taken back to France. It wasn't reported anywhere in the msm.

He predicted there would be a major tragedy between now and xmas as the seas got rougher. Hopefully this isn't it..........

I think you spelled "prayed" wrong!

Ah, Littlejohn, the voice of considered reason!

With all the daytime 70's repeats of The Sweeney/Professionals on, you see more of their Dad on telly these days! Yes I know pics are same one, you know what I mean!

So not "total" cricket then?

Waiting to see outcome of this on technical websites stateside, although with their attitudes in general to firearms  you can fairly assume restrictions on use of theatrical firearms don't quite measure up to ours.

So the website didn't show a picture, so what?

Wokist! Easier to text than "member of the loony left politically correct brigade"!

Can't have a gay footballer. What if he's through on goal and sees a handsome bloke in the stand, jumps the hoardings and starts having bum fun in front of a load of kids, eh? And what if another player is showering and the gay player starts massaging Mr Matey bubbles into his trembling buttocks before taking his engorged penis into his warm, wet mouth......fuck. I've cum.

Remember this sort of idea being rolled out when it came to the armed forces ban, but you had silly old farts (and young ones) thinking they were making a valid point! Then of course there's always the Spear of Destiny defense!

Spear of Destiny defence?

I have a vague memory of Kirk Brandon suing Boy George over sausaging, but can't remember the details.

Just googled it, can’t believe I’d forgotten all about it, do remember the case now, imagine going to court to protest you’re not gay and losing 

They played Theatre of Hate's first single "Original Sin" in court, which pretty much sealed things. I was working gigs in the early '80's and pretty much everyone knew about it, but generally thought so what, their business. When I heard Brandon was suing I remember thinking "silly bastard"!

Guess it's down to the individual as to how they would handle coming out,

Trouble is, it's still not down to the individual. Even all these years after Justin Fashanu the game still has a long way to go on this matter. Yes there are players who are out within the game, but the game still keeps its own doors firmly shut in the name of sales and income. It's now 30 years on since Fashanu was outed, had he outed himself things may have moved on for the better and he might still be alive!

Wow, well known hate monger get knickers in twist about hate!

Sad it's still an issue in this day and age. Obviously more than the one out there, it'll probably take a high profile "outing" at some point, then nobody will really care.

Reckon they should bring back King Kev, to set a new record between date of appointment and blubbing like a girl!

If Man U with all their talent and riches are struggling to get it together….

I think they are already regretting bringing back a former player!

I reckon a lot of potential Managers are holding back. Bruce has been dead man walking since the start of the season, but  would whoever comes in be given time, seeing as money is not an issue. I reckon a few will be lining up for "one last payday", but anyone who's any good will be sitting tight!

THEY'VE LET US DOWN LIGHTLY !!!

Government sources have told the BBC he is a British national who, from initial inquiries, appears to be of Somali heritage.

Straight there with all the latest news!

Anyone else old enough to remember the Trump connection?

THE BBC ARE A BIT SLOW. THEY HAVEN'T MENTIONED HE WAS SOMALIAN YET !!!

No, because like many other news agencies they have reported he's a British national!

Not that long ago he was being lauded as some sort of "cut the crap" working class hero. Turns out he's just a vile stupid thug, well whodathunkit?

It's ATG, now the biggest mover and shaker in British theatres/venues since Clear Channel took a step back. They will no doubt have various options on what to do with the venue after a fixed term. Theatre wise it's up against Sunderland Empire, the nearest No1 touring venue, and Darlington Civic a well established and successful smaller venue catering largely for the middle aged, middle classes. From what I remember of the tour I was given off the place, the venue size is good but location and access bad. First priority would've been electrics, then flying and rigging with load bearing of the grid the main thing, even with no flys you could still happily spot line any trussing toured in, so plenty of rock n roll, but not much else. I reckon ATG will have an option of about three years to see what they can do with place, either make a proper go of it or sell off to another operator like HQ. Be interesting to see what happens, but it won't be quick!

"Our Tommy"!

Any lorry drivers amongst them?

Wow....headhunted to be the new bog attendant! 

Usually better pay and conditions than Technical staff!

Looking at programme it's pretty much same old, same old as a lot of ATG venues, with notable exception of Nick Cave! Getting bigger names on shouldn't be the problem, ATG usually find somewhere to fill dates on tours. Downside is location, days of bands turning up with backline and plugging into house system are long gone, and this place is a one truck at a time town centre load in and if I remember correctly once the kit is in the building is where the real headaches will start. It is a lovely old place and it's good to see it being put to its original use but a new build on an out of town brownfield site would have been a far better option. I might even have applied for toilet attendent!

They'll just send him somewhere to pick up his travel documents!

But everyone was told Brexit would stop this, weren't the Johnny Foreigners properly informed?

Not as if it's catching though is it?

I was sounded out about a job there when it was announced they were re-jigging it, was invited up, given the grand tour and told things were moving quickly and it was a highly ambitious project to fill the gap for a major venue between Leeds and Newcastle/Sunderland. Then heard nothing for a long time!

If there's one thing the Geordies excel at, it's false dawn's!

Stayed there for a couple of nights in the 90's, IIRC I think Butlins had control then and had a good stay, though took a pass on the wrestling in the ballroom! Went back a couple of years ago for a couple of nights around a job interview, Britannia had taken over and it had taken a dive. Got a decent room at third attempt, but wouldn't go back now. Pity it's a lovely old building and needs a bit of care, but that doesn't show up instantly on profits!

I lived in Preston for 11 years, the correct term for those from Wigan is "Pie Munchers"!

I'd still go for Hughton!

Simple response, if you want to play get jabbed!

Democracy at work, this is what the people voted for!

I don't need to be too concerned our lass will get around it somehow. Kitchen and dab hand springs to mind

Any family pets?

Still haunted by a Boro/Hull game in 1991 at Boothferry Park, probably the dullest 90 minutes of football I've ever seen. Only highlight of the game was the dot matrix screen at one end going "ow" when a woeful Boro free kick hit it!

Democracy at work, this is what the people voted for!

Good idea to bring this in over here. RWNJ's need something to righteously get their knickers in a twist about now the great Brexit dream is unravelling!

Id dance for joy as much as any Boro/Mackem fan to see them go down, but can't help wondering why the hell they are so determined with their resources, to be as shit and under achieving as possible.

Few years back I was living in Eastbourne for a while. Went out one night and a hairdressers just off the main Street had a load of Range Rovers outside and had put up hazard tape from them to the shop front. Carried onto pub and thought no more about. Next day one of the locals told me it was Jordan and I remarked that she reportedly lived somewhere near Brighton, so firstly I would've thought she'd get it done at the big home she was always showing off and if not why not go local instead of coming all the way to Eastbourne? Reply was basically she'd ran out of people who'd go to her home to do it and was moving along the south coast hairdresser by hairdresser as she kept on getting refused service due to her behaviour! She lasted one session at said hairdressers who replied to local press that they didn't care how much money she had, no amount would be enough!

To be honest a feel a bit sorry the lass, no doubt been badly advised by lots of people who made a tidy sum from her before fecking off. The ones I really feel sorry for are the kids as I don't think this is a tale that will end well!

Lunatics filling up buckets with petrol only a matter of time before someone goes up in flames 

Not a problem now the NHS has an extra £350 million a week!

Why the fuss, isn't this what all those leave voters voted for?

That's a shame, worked with him a few years ago. Lovely guy.

Been dead against since he arrived!

Cutting universal credit won't help

But that only affects lazy People who won't even work for two hours! A Tory MP said so, so it must be true!

Recently recovered a Samsung netbook circa 2010, hard drive wiped but working again apart from WiFi. Icon shows connected, but getting online a blank. In place with WiFi, hence on here with recently bought tablet. Would like to get netbook going again as has large memory. Any suggestions gratefully received!

I’ve said on the other thread I was a bit dubious of some of the hype but the stats are very solid, basically get fully vaxed and you won’t die, you can argue who should get it but ultimately if you’re over 60 you’d be mad not to get it

I'm 58 and I'll get it. I think it's more reasonable to say , get fully vaxed and you probably won't die, don't have it and vastly increase your chances of doing so, seeing more and more reports of Septic anti-vaxxers snuffing it. Got to give it time though, the original Vaccine took the best part of 200 years to wipe out small pox!

To be fair, it just says they have applied for parole, which they would obviously do. We’ll see what that board does before tearing them to bits 

Bit of faux outrage from The Sun, yes, legally they are entitled to apply for it. Doesn't mean they'll get it!
