Wayne Rooney

[remember arthur mann]

BBC —— humble and popular

Who with?

Granny Clampett.

 

[normskih]

Just in time for Sky to hire him for the dippers V scum.

I’ll admit, I quite liked listening to him during the Euro’s, his punditry came across as fair and measured.

And just like that, Plymouth never appeared on the BBC website again

Wayne Woonieee’s Prestbury Argyle

The BBC have done a full on damage control piece on Rooney and made it the main article.

It's now on the main "news" page, not just "football" - it's quite laughable.

Was reading that before.
Found it quite nauseating

His record across all clubs is absolutely diabolical. It’s a pr piece and fits within the ‘post-truth’ reality we’re now faced with. Incredible from a supposed ‘impartial’ organisation.

I haven't bothered reading it, I already know his record is worse than shambolic, I doubt their story shows that.

Wayne really needs to clear his browser cache.

 

[RayCTID]

Is it a bit too optimistic will he be joining Wayne Rooney's Manchester United?

Your post also takes me back about 45 years Kaz.
I first went to Plymouth in August 1979 with my new girlfriend ( we've now been married almost 44 years).
Her older sister was married to a sergeant in The Royal Marines and they lived in Plymton, which is on the outskirts of Plymouth.
We were there when The Fastnet Yacht Disaster was taking place ,so as you can imagine the weather was terrible, but we visited all the tourist spots while we were there.
And Barbara had already visited her sister for the Silver Jubilee in 1977, so she knew her way around the city centre, including the Barbican, The Hoe ( I think she said there was a beacon lit there in 1977) and as you mentioned Union Street, where we went for a drink or two in various pubs.
Some matelots once asked me which ship I was from,as I must have looked like a military type with my short cropped hair,but I just told them I was a civvy landlubber with no interest in naval affairs.
One thing that does stick in my memory is the number of military police officers who were in and out of the various pubs, trying to keep a lid on things.
We did the same holiday in 1980, but my brother in law left the Royal Marines in 1981 and he became a police officer with Norfolk Constabulary,so that curtailed our visits to Plymouth.

I have known many lads in the Navy who are unable to spell it correctly. It's usually 'matlow'.....knobheads.

I couldn’t give 2 fucks other than to say we’ll have another rag pundit on our screens soon enough ffs

That is how it is pronounced, not how it is spelt.

My Mum has just told me that someone texted Radio Cornwall, with the following message:

"Rooney isn’t cut out to be a coach. He should stick to cooking burgers."

I have 2 older brother in laws, and they are both ex Royal Marine Commandos so I am well versed in many nautical terms, particularly concerning alcohol and boozing.
Drinking during the day - sun over the yard arm.
Pissed up - 3 sheets to the wind .
Being groggy because of drinking too much.
3 square meals a day.

And best of all - only 2 things fall out of the sky -
Bird shit and Paras.
(Royal Marines and Paratroopers have a very intense rivalry).

Fun and games on the BBC Have Your Say

At least we know our guy to lead the rags to the promised land once they are in the championship

His delivery is so boring

The mating calls of a sperm whale would be more comprehensible. Though the appearance would be similar.

My Mum has just told me that someone texted Radio Cornwall, with the following message:

"Rooney isn’t cut out to be a coach. He should stick to cooking eating burgers."

Fixed.

Drinking during the day - sun over the yard arm.

When the sun is over the yard arm it is usually late afternoon/early evening and so time to get the bar open and get on the piss.
