There's a story in today's paper about a former premier league youth player (with accomplices) trying to sell a (stolen) £2m Ming vase for £450,000.
Made me muse about things we buy and then sell at a loss. (And I wonder how much Chelsea will sell Marc Cucurella for).
My fess is a hand-built...
I’ll offer up a couple…
Oystercatcher, Otter Ferry, Argyll…seafood, amazing location in the middle of nowhere
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Nottingham - so old it gives you goosebumps
One of my sons, 35, has had his struggles with depression and low self-esteem, but at heart he is a gentle and loving character. Today I received this from him as a fathers day gift. He had dug up a cruddy file in his garden, turned it into a knife blade, fabricated the handle, made the holster...
We're all as nervous about this game as a Palace derby, maybe moreso aren't we?. Just thought I'd try to take the temperature amongst the NSC throng with this poll. PS I think it may be a tough afternoon, mainly because of him.
This title is a comment from the Solly March thread earlier.
Isn't it the point about our club's brilliant, league-best model, that we have developed a conveyor belt of talent? There's no need for "Tony...to put together a £0.25 billion++ team of replacements" as the replacements are already in...
Living in Argyll now I won't be at the game today though a few years ago I would have (tried to have) been.
This fixture causes me almost emergency medical situations, as I'm sure it does for many reading this post.
We don't have Sky & the thought of following the scoreline on BBC is too...
Apologies if it’s fixtures - which I’m sure it is…
But I’m watching this incredibly tedious Belgium v Canada game wondering what what the least entertaining Brighton game you’ve been unfortunate enough to witness?
I’ll start things off with the Charlton game at Falmer 29th December 2010. I...
Blue 'n' white mentioned his bad hip in his golf clubs post.
I was lucky enough to get a hip replacement just before lockdown, January 2020.
It was life changing: aged 58 I could barely walk 100m, I had the operation conscious with an epidural and 24 hours left the hospital - a fortnight...
I notice they no longer have individual match threads, just a single thread for the whole division.
More cheese paring of popular stuff to fund their ludicrous nonsense.
Harrumph
Apologies if fixtures.
Last season, unwisely as it turned out, I bet my Leeds friend £40 that they wouldn't win the Championship.
Obviously a massive blow to me when they did.
I had no concrete intention to honour my bet - I have my limits - but the nagging has been constant and intense.
So...
I'm not a supporter of inequal pay - but the real issue here, and what really winds me up is that Jeremy Vine gets paid £4,000 for making a no-mark 12 minute programme. What a waste of money! £4,000!
Sack Vine and give the job to a young talented lower paid person say I.
And while we're about...
Reporting Potter's post match comment:
“Absolutely delighted. It’s a wonderful feeling. We had three tough games with no pints so it’s nice to bounce back at a place like this. I thought we did really well in the first half ... pressed well and defended well, kept the ball when we had to and...
Apologies in advance if fixtures.
If you don't mind my enquiring: other than NSC, which discussion boards do you actively belong to, that is, check regularly, or contribute to?
Me, boringly it's Mustardland/Discuss the Archers to enjoy listeners' terse invective levelled at the...
Apologies in advance if this Q has been covered in a posts or a thread I've missed.
I've no idea what's going wrong - if I did I'd be a rich football manager.
But I don't think CH has all of a sudden become a bad manager, and I don't believe that our players have suddenly lost their talent...
1. I'm fully prepared for a thorough cow-grubbing from the Fauntleroys.
2. I couldn't care less if we lose.
3. We'll be making more noise than chiteh at the final whistle!
It's all upside!
