  1. Funny, but only the other day, a lad from Huddersfield, who I used to work with told me that Huddersfield FC is still the only team to win the First Division/Premier League three years in a row. Hard to believe with Liverpool and Man U. winning so many titles.
  2. One of the first ones I remember seeing wearing #12 was Graham Pugh, but I am pretty sure Johnny Quinn was probably the first, as he was a very versatile guy.
  3. Maybe the FL did it in 1966 but perhaps the FA did not.I seem to remember Vic Mobley getting hurt in the 1966 FA cup semi-final, Wednesday v Chelsea at Villa Park, no one came on for Vic, if my memory serves me correctly. I also seem to remember Graham Pugh being one of the first Wednesday subs to wear number 12 and I think that was 1967.
  4. it could be that Tiger himself would not go after you as you are, in a way, paying tribute to him.However, his sponsors who already pay him to use his name and image, may not be so open to you treading on their proverbial toes.
  5. Ronnie was a poorly managed musical genius, who died way too young and never really received the credit he deserved.RIP . By the way was he solo or with Slim Chance at the poly when you saw him? Don't remember the song you mentioned though,but don't remember lots of things these days . LOL
  6. Nice to see lots of Italian fans outside of Turin lauding Michael Oliver for his penalty decision and the red card to Buffon in the Champion League quarter final in Madrid. After all the Juventus fans' snipes on Twitter, the rest of Italy took to that social media platform and praised him and apologised for the "spitefull" tweets against him and his wife, that were spit out by those "so called fans"
  7. Must have been a sozzled (sizzled) Cannon regular who lost his way to his local eh? "Took a wrong turn and he just kept going" (Hungry Heart).
  8. He's looking for a beer, not a bloody omelette. Just kidding, is that pub still open? All the others around there seem to be gone.
  9. No, that was Dude1 , this is his grandson Dude111.
  10. I heard of an ED doctor who lived on a dead end street.
  11. Oscars and Grammys are all part of the buddy system, one only has to look at a list of names of artists who have never won any, especially Grammys.
  12. My late stepdad had him figured out early on. When he first got into power and was wildly popular, the old man said: "I neither like nor trust this nancy boy." when I was over there the year he got in, and I asked his thoughts
  13. He had about 15 different stories of how he lost that finger LOL
  14. The technology exists all right and is alive and thriving in Ontario, Just google Presto.Hardly any transit users here buy tickets anymore, this card can be used on all transit operators in our area and you just refill it online.
  15. Well up to a week ago, I must have been the only person in the World who had never seen Breaking Bad, well I am closing in on the final few episodes and it is all that everyone said it was. Absolutely brilliant.
  16. Good point, but there was no way THAT goal was ever going to be disallowed.
  17. Well your internet is still working, unless you are out somewhere posting this.Best ignored, see if there is a follow-up call, which there will be if it's a scam.
  18. If the air ambulance left empty, it was a fatality. They don't take already deceased people, there is no point.
  19. Not necessarily, just goes to the seaside a lot
  20. Traveller eh? I remember when the pubs down Attercliffe used to have "No Caravan Dwellers" on there front doors during the 70's when a lot of " travellers" were settling on spare plots of land in the area. What on earth is wrong with the term Gypsy. A lot of people in Canada get offended by the word Eskimo( Nunavit etc), except the actual Eskimos, who just laugh it off. LOL
  21. As a skilled tradesman in the steel industry,I escaped the main brunt of her policies by emigrating in 1981, my 4th attempt at it. I had already seen what was to come and, in fact, had a taste of it when the British Steel strike was on. I was a contractor who worked in BSC plants a lot, fortunately, we had other clients too.I got out but most of my friends and family did not and many were financially and emotionally ruined by her devastation of the steel and mining industries. She was similar to Churchill, a warrior in international crises but a tyrant to the backbone of her Country, the working class.
