NW - where was that option on the ballot paper? On the official documentation there was no mention of it, there's a sample ballot in here... https://www.wmcaelects.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Combined-Authority-Mayoral-Election-booklet-WEB.pdf

Just to clarify shmmeee, are you saying that there was actually an option on the ballot paper that said "I don't want an elected mayor"? If there was, I'd have turned up and voted for that option. Again. However I'm not going to vote Communist because that would misrepresent my beliefs in...

Is that "Zenmate", or "Zen mate", mate?

Shmmeee mate, ninety-nine times out of a hundred I'd completely agree with you. But we've already voted on this as a City, and the decision was that we didn't want an elected mayor. I've genuinely been torn on this, but I've come to the conclusion that the best way I can express my unhappiness...

Man, he's going to get such a kicking on here when he's better. Just think of all that bottled up anger out there... :)

Good luck Torchy. Agreed that donors of any kind are absolute heroes (excepting, possibly, sperm donors!). As a complete wimp I've got a fear of needles that stops me giving blood except when I'm pinned down by four strong men, but whatever anyone wants from me when I'm gone they're welcome...

Ah, always good to welcome people to the board that bring something to the debate. Much better than those lazy, bellicose posters who spit out unintelligent, barely literate one-liners containing random swear words, and then sit there congratulating themselves on their wit and wisdom. Oh.

Other than mockney, and people trying to fake a working class accent when they're posh and vice versa I really like proper regional accents and terms like "m'duck" etc.. Ditto with Indian subcontinent and Eastern European accents, maybe it's just me but it makes conversation a bit more...

It's probably just me, but there's something about that golf club cover that I find vaguely troubling...

Don't even know where to start here. The hypocrisy of threatening to charge this site for publishing content when the CET quite openly lifts directly from here without credit is breathtaking. I work for a company that develops websites, and I've got to say that from a professional point of...

I'm guessing that they'll be using the pitch for the gig SBT, so it probably doesn't relate to the capacity at the ground for a game. Off the top of my head, I think that's claimed as around 4,000, but having been there this season when there was 2700 against Moseley I think that would be a...

No worries mate. Between my crap eyesight and my fat fingers I don't even bother texting on the phone these days. I remember when we used to use them for talking. ;)

It's a fair point, but it's always been the thing that the FA (and other sporting bodies) have taken major exception too. It's not as though he wouldn't be aware of it. I can understand the gambling addiction, but there are plenty of other things to punt on besides football and your own team...

He was handy Nick, as I remember. Tough as old boots as a midfielder but with a tremendous knack of arriving late in the box to score. They'll be others here who know more about him than me though, there always is!

I'd love it, it might even get under the skin of our new insect overlords a little which would be a nice bonus. :)

Yeah, too big a clue, and way too early. :) Bloody good player though, imho, would have improved any team at his peak. Better actor than Steven Seagal too, though not a patch on Ossie Ardiles as Hamlet.

I was thinking of someone who actually worked for us for a while, and apparently we tried to sign him in his playing days too. Top moustache.

Steven Seagal in.... no, wait, I'm thinking of crap actors in crap films, sorry. He looks like a wardrobe wearing a coat these days, acts like one too. I quite liked Dressed to Kill, alarmingly enough, though it is a long time since I've seen it. Escape to Victory is an absolute classic...

Sound advice Monners, but showing my ignorance here what's an EA?

Fair play to you Wingy. I wouldn't want to encourage any CCFC fan to stop going to the Ricoh and watch CRFC instead, but if you can do both a season ticket for Cov Rugby is bloody good value. Only lost once at home this season (to the runaway champions) and have been recruiting well already...
