    I wonder if the controversy could spark interest in their shirts and extra publicity for Nike, wouldn't that be a lucky coincidence?!😉

    Expressing his outrage, Reform UK MP Lee Anderson told the Daily Express:
    “This virtue signalling, namby-pamby, pearl-clutching woke nonsense must stop.
    “Any more of this and I'll be on the first flight to Rwanda.”


    Surely that last bit encourages them to definitely do more of this?

    What have they changed? I didn’t think there was a St George’s cross on our kits, just the three lions.

  • Names that rhyme.

    Seen a Kate Waite and a Mary Carey in the last couple of weeks.

    Wonder in those cases whether they married into the rhyme.

    I was listening to Spotify when Rocking With Rita came on. 'Not a bad song that', I thought, 'I wouldn't mind playing that', so I checked the internet for a tab. The only place I could find anything was Chordify. Not the English version, but the Spanish one. I love the idea that there's someone out in Spain listening to Fuzzbox and Ted Chippington.

    I had a hypoglycaemic (diabteic) fit in the middle of the night, first one for well over 2 years. I remember getting up, going to the toilet and in my confused state thinking that I couldn't be bothered to walk back to bed and laid down in the hallway. My wife woke up when I started banging the floor and I vaguely remember her giving me lucozade. When I woke up this morning, she told me that I was refusing to go back to bed as I wanted to stay on the floor. She wouldn't give up and whilst I refused to walk, I shuffled back on my hands and knees. Apparently, she was talking to me like a child saying "come on then get back to bed like a gorilla" and I started making monkey noises and asking for bananas". I don't remember a thing about but she said this morning that even when I'm in a state like that, my natural instinct is to act the clown like a twat.

    Kailey had lived on her own for two years and had no clue .... which reminded me of the time I emptied the crumb trays from my toaster - a mate and his then girlfriend had stayed over - they were amazed!

    Where they have three cups and one ball, they put the ball under one cup, move them round quickly and you have to guess which cup has the ball. All a trick and you are always wrong

    Surely there can’t be anyone that naive/stupid enough to get caught out by these scumbags??

    I thought everyone knew it's a scam/trick, but given Hal1x for example didn't even know what it was, maybe that's naive of me.

    They draw in a crowd and hand their mate who is 'playing the game' £50 and then maybe another £50 as if he has just won. Then someone who is in the crowd trys their luck and gets rinsed. It happens every day all within a few hundred yards of new scotland yard. They have spotters all along the bridge too looking out for police that you can spot a mile off.

    I have lived a very genteel life in comparison with some of you ruffians. This is what I thought the cup and ball game was

    Stood on Westminster Bridge a few years back and watched Chinese tourists hand over multiple £50 notes as they got scammed. There was a long row of scammers pulling the same trick. I felt embarrassed to be British.

    Most people if they get a random package from Amazon, end up receiving a free Xbox or PlayStation by mistake etc. I've just received a Smart Nebuilizer. I know I get a "bit" of Asthma at times, but never diagnosed... Nothing from my Doctor to say one was being sent out, so god knows why I've received it.
