Massive Lhasa Fan?

vern-we to be honest I've been there before and just avoided mentioning it at all, particularly to the welsh. however after hearing ellie harrison pronounce it as above on countryfile I'm confident that must be right. little ellie can do no wrong in my eyes. as regards islay... I hedged me bets and called it all 3 in me conversation. by the time I'd finished booking the ferry I'm still undecided as to whether the lass on the phone was filled with deep pity or hatred for me!

Very curious to know how you mangled 'vyrnwy' now

in the premier league statement it turns out they've not been fined... As a gesture of goodwill, the clubs have collectively agreed to make a contribution of £22million they're the good guys now with their lovely gesture! good to know though that the smarmy tory cunt and his sidekick hoffman are capable of conducting and finalising an investigation in less than 2 months when the chips are down. makes you wonder how the fuck they weren't quite so adept with our takeover!

Breakfast means breakfast. The choice of sausage doesn’t matter when it comes to it.

Was going to ask if he had potentially been spending his off-time doing his coaching badges so it could be a player-coach deal but I couldn’t even finish the thought without laughing.

I think we're very much in a holding pattern with minimal investment until the takeover goes through. So pretty much a continuation of the last decade's transfer policy.

first time I saw an otter in the wild I'd turned right off the a83 from oban to campbeltown on a single track road to ardfern. fucking thing hurled itself out of a hedgerow right in front of me lwb sprinter and I nearly catapulted mrs bd and the 2 dogs out the windscreen to avoid flattening it! wouldn't for a second dispute your claim about eagles on mull mate, but a few years ago we walked cain gorge in spain's picos de europa (jaw droppingly stunning) and eagles and vultures were as numerous as pigeons in trafalgar square!

I was there a week and I think I got fairly lucky like but it’s supposed to be one of best places in Europe fir spotting eagles I think.

It’s eye-la, isn’t it? Have a Lagavulin or 12 for me while you’re there. Saw a few sea eagles plus one golden eagle on holiday on the Isle of Mull a few years back. Not to mention a minke whale, a herd of red deer and a sea otter.

I wasn’t in favour of signing him initially but you could see the logic to it at least, even if you didn’t agree. Like you say though, a second season shouldn’t have even been entertained, let alone a third

Papa John's trophy, you were great and everything, marra, but this is the Sunderland highlight of the seysun so far, getting a mention in a livapewl tweet. #Haaaaaaaawaaaayyyyyy the lads, #FTM #MLF 🤝 #Anotherfwendalliance(DinttellEverton, ok?)

Assuming it’s true, joke decision by a joke of a club

Some achievement that, how does he hold the controller with hooves?

Did he?

You genuinely have a calendar for this shit.

‘ the fuck did I do, guys?

Tsk. I believe the proper way to start an admin post is with “ Guys guys” rather than “Lads”.

Aye, like fuckers telling people what they can get riled about

We are probably ending up resigning Saivet snd Lazaar as well.

you know cain gorge mf? hard to decide which is the most spectacular between that and the gorge du verdon in france.. just as an aside to the whole trafalgar square/mull/pyranees comparison. I never saw any mackems dive head first in to a foot deep pool from a head spinningly deep gorge in northern spain. which is a damned shame I reckon.

Grizzly fucking Addams here

Jura was where George Orwell wrote 1984 and where The KLF burnt a million quid

I got away with the bottom one when I visited, no idea if it’s correct. It’s gorgeous up there like

just finished planning a van trip. headed for lake vyrnwy in wales for a night on 23rd july then booked on the zip wire thing in snowdonia on the 24th. heading to an old wild camping haunt near troutbeck the next and then off to midge land in the trossachs for a couple of nights before catching a ferry from kennacraig to islay and jura and hopefully puggying a sea eagles nest. (joking!) back to the mainland for a couple of nights wilding near ardfern and then a bit undecided as to boulmer/alnmouth or carrying on down the east coast to revisit the gannet colony at bempton. a night or two near edale in the peak district and then finishing off in the brecons. probably deeply offended the poor lass at calmac ferries in the process by horribly mispronouncing 'islay', so is it? is lay? eye la? eye lay?

£3.5mil fine each. Just before they get handed £150mil in tv money, facility fees and merit payments from the league

You should leave. Alpaca bag for you.

https://orangeamps.com/product/custom-guitar/ Have you seen this thing? Nearly 4 grand ffs! I mean would you not just get something from the Fender custom shop or drop a bit more for something from the Gibson custom shop. At least you'd be in with a shot at some resale value. And you'd have something that didn't look like this thing looks.

Plus looking to give Gayle a new deal I think?

FFS 😂

Fucking hell, this club is so poorly ran. They refuse to spend money when it makes sense then extend Carroll’s deal and pay compensation for Steve Bruce.

A combined £22m fine for the 6 teams who signed up to the Super League I don’t even think anyone expected that little

I mean he's exactly what the system that was working in the latter part of season calls out for; quick on the break, tireless running, agile...

I feel very attacked.

Lads, this is getting way too close to RTG thread level. It’s a PC game the bloke was playing- He chose to play as us- I understand the lads saying it shows how far we’ve fallen under the Fat Cunt, but there’s other things to get riled about.

I think what they've anounced in terms of his suspension is probably a bit over the top. A better wording may have just been that he's been took out of the spotlight until it's thoroughly investigated. They only needed to do it for the next match and then Stokes, Woakes & Curran should all be available for the India series so they can easily excuse him not playing on the basis that while he did very well in the match he played, those players are currently ahead of him in the queue anyway. That gives them plenty of time to investigate and impose a reasonable sanction/punishment. I do feel though that they've went down the route they have so as to be seen to taking it incredibly seriously. They've had criticism for stopping taking the knee then they made a big thing about the moment of inclusion or whatever before the game. Added to that the case of the two umpires and that of Azeem Rafiq, I think they will have just thought we have to be seen to be doing something serious.

I also think he should be used to go around teaching children and other young players what he's learned.

Yeah but that needs to be investigated and confirmed. Him just saying it because he's been caught out isn't really going to carry much weight.

There's a massive difference between making a shit joke or just saying something offensive that you didn't mean to and being an EDL member looking for a fight with minorities. People can certainly be educated out of the former but it's a lot more difficult to expect pricks like Tommy Robison to change.

It might have been 'Barnsley' come to think of it?

Bollocks, a Mag at work said we were the Barcelona of the north. FTM

Rage induced heart attack incoming for HMHM in 5, 4, 3, 2...

How do people feel about this latest turn of events. I mean, I fancy our chances against the puny Italian chipolata, our Lincolnshires will batter the fuck out of them? But faced against the mighty German Knockwurst? I'm not too sure.

Innnnn 1, An electric can opener.

It’s as predicatable as Bruce’s mid-morning stool. ( happy tea-time, everyone).

Bruce lowers the bar to the floor, then expects a round of applause when he stumbles over it.

Booked a week in Portugal for the middle of July. Hopefully by then there will be a vaccine passport in place as I’ve managed to avoid a covid test up until now and really don’t fancy it.
