    The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

    That's what colour chickens are when they grow naturally and eat a diet of corn. The pasty white ones (that you normally see hundreds of) are that colour because they've been force grown in a mass production facility. It's not how a chicken should look. It's also why those "yellow" ones are...

    United (a) post-match thread

    I think that shows that they get the importance of the fixture itself more than our current players and manager do. Too many of our players didn't turn up today.

    COVID-19 — Coronavirus

    Yes, and I'm sure many here are following investment advice from someone speaking English as a third language. Or at least I hope it's your third language.

    Match Thread | Man Utd vs Man City (07/01/20)

    He sounded disgusted didn't he.

    Were any presents you gave or received not appreciated?

    My dippy father gave me 300 quid, the same in vouchers for JD Sports, a bag full of crap stocking fillers (an Amazon Echo and other assorted toss). I couldn't care less.... I sold the vouchers and the bag of crap and I'm pissing the cash up the wall.

    Is Turkey the meat not all that?

    Turkey is dreadful, the most bland and tasteless thing you could ever serve up for what's supposed to be a celebration. Given the choice I'll do Beef Wellington... unfortunately my Mother in Law was visiting this year and apparently turkey is mandatory for her given that she's from a certain...

    Our Best Away Kit

    The all maroon one with the Brother logo, that was my favourite of all time. I also liked the red and black chessboard with the Philips logo circa 1987. I think it does depend on when you started watching city. Anything neon or dayglo has no place on a matchday kit, keep it to the...

    City - the most attacked football club in the country!

    I'm not sure I have, not to the same extent if you look at my history. Forums are / can be toxic places but yes, I'd say it's got markedly worse here in terms of paranoia and victimhood.

    City - the most attacked football club in the country!

    I have to say, I don't post here any more really, I have a quick read once in a while and frankly I don't recognise here in Bluemoon the city fans I grew up with in the Kippax who were self effacing and humourous. I know I'll get dog's abuse for saying this, but our following is changing and...

    Is The Apprentice past its sell-by?

    Absolutely, TV programme producers have done this for some years haven't they... boil any fairly original, entertaining programme down to just certain bits that a focus study tells them that people react most to. Then they manufacture many more of those moments chasing ratings, and it without...

    What you eat that others would find disgusting

    Gosh my great aunt would make this very regularly for her husband in the 70s and 80s in Manchester, always with Lancashire cheese... is it an old Lancashire dish I wonder? I used to really like it, I've not seen anyone make it or even mention it since about 1986. I don't have any really...

    Instant Pots

    So did I... I was going to reccomend the Nongshim Shin Cup as the spicy emperor of instant pot snacks.

    You f*****s

    Gemini was the better kebab shop around there anyway, it had the better chilli sauce of the two.

    days of cheap flights finished?

    On the beech... I wooden-t book with them. The branch near me in ash-ton are oak-ay, but I be-leaf they're for the chop. I'm thinking of going to mus-teak this year.

    Should men have their eyebrows plucked?

    Plucked? No, god no, that's some pain right there. And it's no bad thing to have a few grey ones. But you should trim them by all means, nobody wants to look like Bernard Ingram. I run a trimmer over them about once a month, it sorts out those horrible errant freak ones that come along...

    Places to deposit dog poo bags

    That riles me like nothing else. The turds are abominable, but at least I can understand that the person whose dog did that is simply a lazy, ignorant prick. But the bag thing I can't fathom. Can any dog owner talk me through that thought process? Where you go to the effort of buying the...

    ******Cricket Thread******

    He left his wife and two children for a young blonde model, so there's one fairly good reason. And of course he's got a ratty little face that you'd never tire of slapping. There are other reasons of course but there's your starter.

    How does a bureau de change make money?

    With most UK banks, withdrawing cash at an overseas ATM with your bank card is almost always the cheapest way to get currency, even if your bank charges you per transaction. Most commonly it's a flat fee, so if you withdraw 100 Euros or 300 the charge is the same, and banks usually have a half...

    Best Stadiums

    I don't get the love for Craven Cottage, I've always found it to be a mish mash of just 25% old interesting bits, 25% lovely setting, but 50% really crap, modern cheap bits bolted on. And it's too small. I like the Bernabeu, the Emirates, and Wembley. Oh and Lord's if I can have a...

    City Tattoos

    That reminds me of that classic joke where the punchline is "welcome to Jamaica, have a nice day". That's been a family favourite for decades.
