When I first started going to see the blues in the early 60’s a lot around me used to shout “come on you dolly blues” I didn’t really understand that meaning until my nan said a “dolly” was a light blue sort of dye added to the washing!!

Same here Ric. Tried to log in using my iPhone and was plagued by this pop up. After trying a dozen times or more it seems to have relented somewhat.

Had the unfortunate displeasure of attending the Bishops Blaze for a leaving do on a Friday night. I was late but I entered the pub, I heard a work colleague shout at the top of his voice “Ya late ya big blue bastard” in a jokey manner. As you can imagine a lot turned around but I just carried...

I know they used to have regular meetings in the Friendship Inn on Wilmslow Rd but that was a while back.

Does anyone remember the preacher in his suit and Bowler hat carrying his religious banner, telling us were were all going to hell and were sinners!! Used to scare me as I was queuing to get in the children's entrance to Platt Lane!! I wonder what ever happened to him!!

George Hannah, Peter Dobing, Barry Stobart, Matt Gray those were the days. Waggy was my favorite - great player. My brother did an interview with Derek Kevan. He spoke about how much he enjoyed his years at City

Drunken sailors abroad shocker!! As an ex RN myself this has been going on since time began. I’ve seen a lot worse in our town centre!!

Smudged I stand corrected If you’re on a low carb diet they are worth checking out even at 5 carbs

I’ve not tried that lager but will look out for it. As I previously mentioned I have knocked alcohol largely on the head. If I do drink it’s normally red wine or spirits as they carry less carbs. If you ever shop in Aldi look out for the chocolate nut bars. The come in packs of 4 and are...

Thanks Petetheblu - the great thing is I don’t feel that I’m making any great sacrifices. Basically I cut out all Bread,Pasta, Rice and Potatoes. I substitute cauliflower for Rice or Mash potatoes. I got myself involved in finding low carb recipes. Get most of my protein from eggs, chicken...

Raheem is a players player. It goes over the head of most of his detractors. I’m sure his fellow team mates realize this. He does however need to work on his finishing and I’m sure he is constantly working on this at the club.

Went to the Didsbury Fayre a couple of weeks ago and just got off the Metro link and I honestly thought I had been shot by a pellet in the left calf. I was in agony, but managed to limp the rest of the way. It’s taken nearly 3 weeks to begin to repair itself. Obviously not match fit!!

Ronnie is married to my cousin and I've only found out through this thread. What awful news. RIP

I hope your tetanus injections are up to date. If not, I suggest a trip to the Doc.

I don’t know why Raheem didn’t just slide it in. I didn’t matter if it came off his foot, shin or knee. Just bundle the ball in!!

Oh dear oh dear oh dear Talk about after the Lord Mayors show eh!!!

I understand the argument for waiting to sign Sanchez in the summer but the way I look at it, if we get him in the winter window - we win the league. It’s ok saying Kun and Jesus will play their way into form but what if they don’t. What if one or both get injured? We are battling for various...
