    Helping Someone Out

    My father in law was on his way to the south coast on holiday, when he stopped mid journey for a pint or two. They sat outside, and the car next to him was having trouble starting, so he stood up, asked the guy if he needed help, and then proceeded to take charge (the guy was just staring at the...

    odd ways your car has been damaged

    My mates son was 18, and the family lived out in the sticks where roadkill = dinner. Anyway, one night he saw this deer lying in the road. He stopped, checked it, and it was not long dead, so he strapped it to his bonnet and drove home carefully. When he got on their driveway, he shouted his...

    odd ways your car has been damaged

    Seeing that Stokes appears to have had his wing mirror smashed by another car, I wondered who has had their car damaged in an odd way? I've had a few of these. 1. Going down a country lane in Wiltshire, came to a stop as a herd of cows heading towards me. As they passed, one of the big buggers...

    Where Would You Like To Live ?

    Sat next to a couple from North Wales while on holiday last year. She told me the North are the "real" welsh, and the south are a waste of space.... As I was on holiday, I didn't bother to tell her my dad was from the south. He always said how rude they were in the North. He was right I think...

    England - Player mid-term report

    Although it's not his defending that worries me. it's those stray passes under no pressure. He usually makes 1 or 2 in a game. He's not alone, Stones did the same last night, as did Dier. (who offers not a lot as far as I can see - penalty an exception)

    What Advice?

    Spend more time talking to my Dad. He died when I was 17, and there is lots of stuff I could have asked, but wasn't interested at the time.. His Navy career, places in the world he went etc etc I was too busy hanging with my pal's and chasing girls lol

    England - Player mid-term report

    well, he was in the RB position when he cocked up last night.... Edited to add: It's his passing to the opposing forwards when he's under zero pressure that concern me. A new role shouldn't really affect that I would have thought.

    England - Player mid-term report

    Walker has always got a "lets gift them a goal" moment in him, which is a shame, as he's not a bad player.

    Austrailians/Aussie accent - Sort of urgent

    It was just too hard to resist, otis. I remember on gmk, someone posted about Gordon Strachan, and said he couldn't look more Scottish if he tried, unless he wore a big red beard and a kilt...Curtis replied, saying...so, he could have looked more Scottish then? That one has always stuck in my...

    They do, but only if you've got your own couch to lie on... ;) Actually, that's a good idea. Worth checking out.
