Sorry? God knows that I am not a HR fan or a Skate but the "laughing stock" that has won the F.A. Cup, qualified for Europe and are now regularly a middling PL team? As much as I detest the mercenary git, he has to take some credit for where Poopey are now.:confused:

What is your opinion on why Spuds in their hour of need didn`t ask your "Hero" Glen Hoddle to save them?:confused:

But Poopey is his "Spiritual Home"! Oh well it is nearly Halloween. He has found somewhere else to haunt.

Is he going to unmask Rupert as a crooked fairground owner??

He sounded like Kerry Katona on "Good Morning".

Thanks.

Have I missed something here??:confused:

Another top rider has quit English Speedway. Great shame and bad for the sport. Always enjoyed watching Crumpy. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12268_4374611,00.html

Quite a good positive write up. LOL at BWP being our Man to Watch though!

I think I read on another thread that you didn`t have many friends. I really can`t understand why!

I think that I had some in a Chinese Restaruant once. Quite nice with Soy Sauce.

I tend to think that Britain is great when seeing the staggering beauty that abounds in it. We have some of the most beautiful countryside,coastlines, downland and architecture in the world. The "real" British people (not based on race or religion etc) are the most friendly and tolerant on earth. All of this makes Britain "Great". What spoils it though is the cheapening of values, the lack of discipline and respect and the selfish, "F*** You" society that has developed in recent years. It will all, sadly, end in tears.

Yeah. I have been trying to keep this quiet but I support Saints! How strange is that??

I had the very same experience. I stood for quite a while in front of that display case, lost in my thoughts and imagining what it must have been like on that momentous day in 1805. As you say, a humbling experience.

Nelson has always been a particular hero of mine. He was a far from perfect human being. He was a particularly vain person who treated his devoted wife Fanny very badly for example. But he was single-minded when it came to doing his duty and was very good at inspiring loyalty from even the humblest seaman and the captains serving with him (his "Band of Brothers"). At the time of Trafalgar he was in very poor health. He was virtually blind, had very bad dental problems etc but he still went out and did his duty. This puts not going into work because of a cold into perspective!! It is impossible to over-estimate the importance of what he achieved at Trafalgar. It stopped Napoleon invading England, virtually killed off Spain as a world power, and made Britain rulers of the sea for more than 100 years. For all of these reasons and more he should be remembered and revered as a true English hero more than he is. The National Maritime Museum at Greenwich has a Nelson Room containing many relics, including the tunic and stockings that he was wearing when he was fatally wounded. Well worth a visit.

Yeah, well good luck with that!

I did actually highlight the "trick or treat" bit. The marking of All Hallows Eve is certainly not American.

I would like to see Daren Wheelers excellent column from the Pink reproduced on here. His views are usually well thought out, logical and sensible. They deserve a wider audience (geographically speaking).

Apparently Poole are planning to hold a New Year meeting on January 4th next year. This follows on from the sucessful meetings held at Newport. Something to look forward to over the Christmas break.

Give it a rest! One trick pony! Despite his Christian leanings HE IS NOT GOD! :mad:

My pet hate is when people use "of" instead of "have" as in "I could of..." instead of "I could have....":mad:

Why are we so keen to adopt American "traditions". We have plenty of our own.

Absolutely anybody could have asked me and I still wouldn`t have done it!

Yeah. Sorry. I had a some very good wine at lunchtime and I posted on the wrong forum and couldn`t be asked to delete this thread. It won`t happen again (probably!).

Unless he was going to spend the week-end with Leon!
