Gumph!

If you do them like that, how much oil do you put in the bottom of the roasting tray (show off) Just enough.

Food porn tbh. The top right one should be doughier if it's nee bigger. The doughier the better as far as I'm concerned.

pps pics or STFU

ps I happily just fill a roasting tin with batter (not a euphemism) and serve it in wacking great slabs. That'll dink dank do! You can't beat Yorkshires.

Wrong thread tbh.

The correct answer is: it doesn't matter, they're Yorkshire puds. Put a bit in if you want small ones and put a load in if you want fuck off massive ones.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Would be even better if they put one on Seven Sisters Road bending down on the pavement as if he's talking to someone in a car. Fucking imagine that, man! They can fuck off with public money for their new stadium but I'd be happy for the arts council to give them millions for that commission.

I genuinely would love someone to erect Pleat giving it the full Yiddish quickstep like. Priceless that.

The man speaks sense!

To this day does anyone provoke more mixed emotions? A north east legend I suppose (putting it diplomatically). That statue of him outside the SOL is hilarious though. Obviously I know the moment it captures, but it looks for all the world like the Eric Morecambe dance, only with his hands outstretched having a massive grope at the same time. Set off perfectly by the flashers mack of course. Could only be equalled if Luton erect a David Pleat in bronze, doing his Maine Road pitch invasion with lapels, flairs and sideburns going like the clappers.

I remember seeing the bloke who played Pike on telly a few years ago who said people kept coming up to him and asking if they would ever get together and do a one-off Xmas special or whatever. Quality. Thick as mince some people, can you imagine his face being asked that on more than one occasion? Ian Lavender...he was in Eastenders a few years back iirc. Couldn't watch him as a 60 year old bloke though, just didnt seem right somehow. Stupid boy.

Aye, thats him Looks like Burt Kwok there!

I remember Viz doing a classic 'Curse of Dad's Army' spoof a few years back now detailing how most of the characters who had appeared in the series had coincidentally passed away. Obviously ignoring the fact they'd be about 100 years old if alive (with Godfrey and Fraser actually having been born in the 1800's.) Think Clive Dunn's about 90 now. Hope he's got a few more good years in him! Legend.

Got the entire boxed set recently apropos of nothing. I think he (was) only 1 year younger than Godfrey in real life. Didnt realise it til years afterwards but he was also in at least one of the Will Hay films and he still looked that age even back then. Arthur Lowe's Captain Mainwaring remains one of the finest comic creations ever for me. Might try and get some of those myself Caught the tail end of one the other day and couldnt stop laughing. They were in a rowing boat and ended up on train thinking they were in deepest france but they were still in blighty. Was talking to someone about it last night and was trying to recall if it was Dads army that had the tin hatted air warden??? that they didnt like. Aye...Bill Pertwee ('Hodges') Always called Mainwaring 'Napoleon'. Probably one of the most well cast comedies ever.

Legends cut short by injury to extend the parallels. My dad still talks about the challenge that finished Clough's career as he was at the match as a kid down the same end of the ground it happened. Bulk of the family are Mackems (I'm ashamed to say) and he was round their's for Boxing day for tea as usual so the match was just part of the day's events. Remembers it is clear as if it was yesterday. 3 minutes 18 seconds Had actually never seen the footage myself before you just posted that now...though it feels like I have the way I've heard it described down the years. Scene for scene, especially the bit where he's on his hands trying to get back to his feet afterwards. Heartbreaking to see for real, but it does feels like watching a huge moment in English football history. One thing you have to say is that, out of one of the most tragically prematurely ended careers in football came an absolutely miraculous second career. And there again that's something that distinguishes him from the other top English domestic managers he's typically mentioned alongside....he was an absolutely world class player too. Cheers for the link

Have always argued this (even though I am probably the most biased anti Man U fan going I admit). All the more painful that his last season as a manger ended with relegation...sort of mirrored the desperately sad end to his playing career. Re: Paisley btw, I actually think he doesn't get quite as much of the plaudits as he's due. Nobody even mentions him these days.

He's got kids and what not and his job is under threat I can forgive the mackems these three points. I must be the only one who doesn't give a fuck how many points we finish behind them as long as we stop up. Aye fair play like, puts things in perspective a bit. I actually couldn't give a shiney shite about the Mackems outside of the 180 minutes of football a season where we happen to be in direct competition for points. Or if we're in competition with them for survival or qualification..basically anything which has any significance for the Toon as they're an insignificance in themselves. Anyway there's nee comeback from a 5-1 trouncing unless they repay the favour at their place (which they wont) so they'd be wasting their breath on me banging on about a 5 point advantage.

As always, pics or GTFO.

I was gonna post even without having watched owt because of that but you beat me to it you rhastclart.

Somebody like David Silva reminds me of him - well going by that footage anyway. Such a low centre of gravity. 2 "good" goals according to the commentator. Commentators back then never used to get a stonk on over a goal like did they? "...well, Green tantalised them!" No, he dry-bummed them.

how do you do that ? Seriously. There is no footage. Even those goals for Blackpool don't show anything like how he played for Newcastle, his talent, anything. People can only talk about his pace, appetite, dribbling ability, the effect he had on the players in the team, his inspirational values. The sad thing is, when people like me talk about players like this, or anything else to do with the past to draw comparions with other players or situations, people just don't listen. I realise Gazza, Beardsley and Shearer were great players, but Tony Green was the most inspirational and best player I have ever seen play for the toon. While I knew he'd only played a handful of games for us, I hadn't realised he'd missed an entire season through injury for Blackpool too earlier in his (short) career and it was their promotion season to boot. Fucking tragic. How unlucky can a player be?
