PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Bodicoteblue]

Trackers? With footprints and a compass in the heel.
Edit they were Wayfinders Clarkes were commando we live and learn.

Brilliant shoes them.
They ended a tragic period in my youth when I had no idea what a stoat’s footprint looked like!
And I lost count of the number of times I needed a compass to find my way home from school!
Would have been literally lost without them.

Nope. The Church lost that impact around these parts, a good while back.

Yeah but it’s filled the news for the past two days. RTE and Virgin. Half the news time coming from Rome.





Anyway…..
Are we there yet?

Port out Starboard home.

There used to be a pub on the corner next to the home end of London Road in Peterborough.
Never knew if it was just a coincidence or a clever bit of marketing - either way it was bobbins boozer.

When the Spice Girls split, Victoria Beckham wanted Peterborough Football Club to stop trademarking their nickname “The Posh”.
Thankfully her request was rejected and they were able to register the name.

Did you know that the word POSH is an acronym and nautical term that comes from when we were a sea faring nation?

Travelling to India folk liked a cabin Port side going Out and Starboard side coming Home POSH

Yep, im that guy....

A popular folk etymology holds that the term is an acronym for "port out, starboard home", describing the cooler, north-facing cabins taken by the most aristocratic or rich passengers travelling from Britain to India and back. However, there is no evidence for this claim.

Most likely derived from Romani posh (“half”), either because posh-kooroona (“half a crown”) (originally a substantial sum of money) was used metaphorically for anything pricey or upper-class, or because posh-houri (“half-penny”) came to refer to money generally.

Its true because the passengers on the other side of the ship who could only afford the cheaper fare were called the SOPH.

Posh git, I had to wear the cardboard boxes they came in...

I used to make model boats out of shoe boxes which is why I always went barefoot.

Everyday is still a school day on here, but when the hell will we find out the result of the case? Muffin or Barm?

True. That's where the word sophomore comes from.
