Yep, that’s brilliant, think we all become a bit more calm as we get older, Mrs H has been with me for 40 years, unfortunately not blessed with children (long story) but we’ve had a great life, I’d only swap her for a box at City!!

But does she know that ? ;)

38 years for me and Mrs B has blown hot and cold in our relationship over the years. The cold is out now coz the ice cubes play havoc with her dentures.

Ha ha ha ha, proper funny

Funny how the media spent all last season blowing smoke up Wrexhams arse but after their superb win over the rags wonderkids not a word. Strange that

God that brought back some less than happy memories! Suffered on that running track more times than I care to recall. They used to have Fives courts iirc back in 70’s.

Back in the early 70s i was working at the ymca has an apprentice mostly doing maintenance work on the steam boilers. Our tea room was adjacent to the basement gym. One day somebody said George Best was punching the punch bag so we all stepped out to watch him. He noticed us all gawping at him so he played up a bit and hit the bag hard and it swung away he then looked round at us and the bag swung back and hit him in the kipper. Ho how we chuckled.

That's because there's only 58 of them.

No.

It's actually 5 + 8 = 13 - that's how many turned up to the last anti - glazer protest (stop laughing it was a proper protest) I can understand the confusion with the numbers though. Not known for getting figures correct that lot are they?

SCUM.

Apologies if this has already been posted?

Is this new accusation or is it another rehash story of an old accusation this time by a French news outlet?

I’ve translated the headline. The rest of the article is in French.

Isn't that the "exclusive" that Piers Morgan, Talksport and that dodgy Youtube video concentrated on? It's from 2014 I think.

The name of the website it comes from translates as 'News of the day.'

Arf.

At least we’ve got there pal, I’m sick to death of getting the black tie out, seems to happen at least twice a year! Lost some really good friends over the past few years and two of my best pals are living with cancer, both Blues who are 64 and 55 but really live life to the best, they’re an absolute inspiration, been friends with the 64 year old since the age of 11, Mrs H in jest calls them my “gay mates” as I love them so much!

Wise words. Getting old is mainly shit but better than the alternative. And all the cocky young bastards will get there sooner than they think - if they’re lucky.
