Wasn't he part of the reason Jack Charlton walked after a year? Pretty certain I read Gates had been identified as the replacement for Waddle but in the end, he chose to go to the Mackems. SBR claimed he was one of the most underrated players he had at Ipswich.

All that email is missing is a FTM at the end. Maybe that's in his email signature?

I'm casting my mind back many years, but I don't recall there being any coding to do in the early days. It was still very much plug and play. I wonder if it's the product of multiple upgrades along the way and the interface simply hasn't kept up with some of the older features? Anyway back to the funding - good to know but if there is the need to dip our hands in our pockets, I, and I'm sure many of the other regulars will be only too happy to help - this place really is a much needed departure from the shite that is everyday life - cheers Andrew, massively appreciate what you do.

You wouldn't think that appropriate from a junior new starter, let alone someone supposedly senior 😂😂

Brian Wilson being described as literally a genius by people with very good qualifications to be able to make that judgement..lots citing "God only knows" as the greatest song ever written....so it is just me then that doesn't really get Wilson or the Beach Boys? I hear good songs and nice harmonies but I also got the from the Brotherhood of Man RIP Brian, you had the same name as our coalman 🙂

Imagine putting that in a work email. Then actually reading it back and deciding it was a good idea to send it

Gates was a good player but he was past his best when he went there. I know he gets plaudits from them for scoring in that match but, iirc, he never played a top flight match for them and was also part of the side relegated to the third tier

I've got the blokes email address so he's getting signed up to all sorts of spam shite.

They never learn. Also, that list of the five most skilful players ffs. That must have taken fucking hours to draw that up as well

Dementia sufferers will often fall back on often used phrases from before they became ill If I ever get it, I hope that once I can’t recognise my family and friends I start greeting them with ” who’s this Cunt?”

They couldn’t take the denpressure.

What about Ronnie Pickering?

As an additional note though, I picked this place up when Ant left because I was willing and somewhat techy, but really web stuff is not my bread and butter. The board upgrade should be relatively plug and play from our supplier but the further back stuff which may be contributing to the place dropping is Apache2 which isn't something I've ever really worked with. If anyone is familiar with it and willing to pitch in then send me a DM. A couple of you have already offered help which is much appreciated and will be called on!

Thank you but the patreon should have it covered, we didn't do a christmas donation this year because I'd seen how much the upgrade licence might end up being 😅 Don't think any further funds will be needed, if they are then I can manage that and pay myself back from patreon down the road.

I will have to convince my family to make another stop at my favourite french supermarket in Medard anyway where you can spend anything between 5 and 500 Euros for decent wines.

But on the plus side, Ronnie Radford is still dead

I am staying at Cap Ferret at the moment. I spent some time in these parts ten years ago. Going to Pilat (again) tomorrow then onwards to Mimizan and Bayonne before heading to San Sebastian. I actually not sure if we manage to make Bilbao unless there is a real rupture of the space time continuum.

Jealous. Enjoy

I highly recommend Bassin d’Arcachon which is close to Bordeaux. Particularly Dune du Pilat or Cap Ferret (depending on what you are looking for).

It’s like Alzheimer’s this place. Every day I have to be reminded that my heroes have died and relive the grief.

He’ll be alive again tomorrow when the board goes down again.

Currently still drinking my way through the Bordeaux region though. So I am not sure if the board is crashing all the time or am I drinking too much red wine.

Spending some time on the west coast of france making my way to basque territory to look for some pintxos in San Sebastian and asking people in Bilbao about being mlfs (or milfs depending on the gender). I hope the board going back in time every day does extend to the duration of my holidays tbh.
