PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

as far as i know,
the reason for "arms" in pub names has nothing to do with limbs.

it is more about heraldic coats of arms.

so, for example,
a pub called "the bricklayer's arms" was so named because all the local bricklayers got together and drank in there.
nothing to do with their limbs,
just the coat of arms they recognised.

"the royal arms" was where the royalists met for a drink and that.
et cetera.


a long time ago,
14th century at a guess,
pubs were told to distinguish themselves from normal dwellings by having something outside that would become recognisable.

so, for example, a landlord who wanted to attract farmers would put an old plough outside his inne.
hence, over time, it became known as "the plough".

from that advancement came the next...
swinging pub signs.

people couldn't read so much,
a mere painting of a plough was sufficient.

when people began to become more literate the name was also written in words,
but the painting still remained,
as it often does nowadays.

that's what someone once told me, anyway.

It’s clear we all got slightly giddy when the international break arrived and pep saying a “month”, he needs pulled up for taking the piss -:)

Due to the serious nature of the allegations and how the charges will potentially affect the current season and next season. The only real time to announce the decision would be in the summer.

Wankers the lot of them, games within games and all that.

Innocent anyway, but sure let’s all fuck around with legal words that no one wants to read.

£5 to anyone who can find and smack pinto in the mouth.

Even on here you see faux socialists posting that they are worried that their multi thousand pound portfolios are getting battered.

Whilst suggesting poorer people should shut up complaining about ticket prices.

I laughed when Elon Musk said recently he didn’t see the point of reading Dickens at school…… clearly he didn’t fucking get it.

Shocking lack of capital letters for a scribe as learned as you.
