    The FOC thread.

    welcome to the sixty nothing club - I got there in May - make sure you apply for your Senior Rail Card ASAP - if you use trains you'll save a bomb! I'm not aware of anything else that you qualify at 60 thats worthy having, other than a finger up your arse from a pretty doctor for your...

    The FOC thread.

    Bought my first house in 1988 - no central heating - just one of those standard Gas Fires everyone had in the living room and a pair of crappy gas fired heaters in the two main bedrooms - even had a paraffin heater at the bottom of the stairs which would warm up the staircase to the landing - I...

    Homeless City fan near Asda

    a couple of years ago when I was down in London near Kings Cross having a curry with a mate close to Christmas we bunged one of these guys a tenner - within 1 minute he'd bought himself four cans of stella and all the other homeless cronies were round him like bees round a honey pot asked who'd...

    David Walliams allegations

    Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall notwithstanding, these days its got to the point that 'Red Top Papers' (i WILL not call them NEWSpapers) are interesting in nothing more than digging up dirt on celebs simply to sell papers. And it isnt just them, remember what happened to Cliff...

    If you had to move to London and you had to follow a team , who would it be?

    Simply because it was my Grandad's team I'd have to say Crystal Palace - don't think Tooting and Mitcham are still going are they? Sandy Lane, their old ground was at the end of the road where my Nan and Grandad lived when I was a kid when I first went to Maine Road.

    Longest time in one job

    you have my utmost respect - I have no idea how you guys put up with that, my two site visits to HMP Brixton and HMP Nottingham were enough for me. Oh and please accept my apologies for helping lift the lid on the staff job allowance free-for-all that existed up to about 2007/2008. :-(

    Longest time in one job

    FFS - if you've used electricity in the UK, especially Leeds, received pension credit or been fiddling your housing benefit, been in the nick either as a screw or a con, a beatles/wings/mccartney fan, if you've been on probation, or put fuel in your car, or been a UK farmer, supported the rags...

    Longest time in one job

    35 and a half years in Enterprise IT - the company that I originall joined has been taken over / renamed 8 times over that period - in 18 months time I think that will be it - I have always enjoyed my job, never got bored, worked all over the world, in amongst industries and public sector...

    General Videogame Thread

    Despite me saying elsewhere I'm not a games player, I am a fan of simulations - MSFS being the absolute dogs danglies when running on a decent PC multi screen - sadly my last decent works laptop (Zbook) died so lost the ability to do that - my other foible is VR - I've had a string of...

    Billy No Mates

    My advice to the OP - find the nearest Supporters Club Branch near you and join it. If there is any kind of get together in and around City matches then turn up and say hello. As long as you're not a complete twat then things should improve for you. Basically this is how I rejoined the City...

    Boycotting US stuff

    FFS - what a stupid post - and does any one in their tiny mind think that a couple of thousand City fans changing their buying habits would have any impact? no. nothing to see here, move along. I'd rather buy american than european anyway! I'm no interested one bit in supporting the EU...

    Real Madrid (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

    I thought we played really well last night BUT there are still too many stupid stray passes that kept giving possession back to RM. The stray pass count is the one thats been bothering me for the last season and a half
