Ontarian1981

He was notorious for being defensively minded before he came to Wednesday, I believe

Bruce Channel had a hit with Hey Baby again in the 80s when it was used in the film Dirty Dancing. Not sure if it was re-recorded or the original. Don't recall that other song at all though.

I had used all my gods up after I attended a Catholic grammar school.

Good old Chris still going strong, better than ever with Clapton touring again, along with our other Sheffield keyboard man Paul Carrack on Hammond. Saw them in concert in 2015 or 16. Finished off the night with a Joe Cocker song " High Time We Went", Carrack singing lead. I guess you could call it a Sheffieldish finale.lol

I have a lot of clothes that I won't part with, even though they don't fit, you see I have this notion that one day they will fit me again even though I am 73 lol. I had been about twelve and half stone since my early 20s up to 4 years ago when I retired and stopped smoking almost simultaneously. Of course, I am now about 30 pounds heavier and don't get the workouts I used to get when I worked. But I still won't throw my stuff out, sad intit?

Donald Pleasance at his usual unpleasant best eh? BTW have you ever seen Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman? Although a dark comedy, it has serious moments like the ones you mention. Great film from the 70s

We have been paying for plastic bags for years in Ontario. We just re-use them several times before we pay again. Unfortunately, a lot of people still can't be pestered to recycle stuff and this is a way to make you re-cycle for your own use, or you will just have to keep on paying or do it the old-fashioned way and buy a proper shopping bag. ---------- Post added 19-02-2018 at 14:28 ---------- Ever told your wife that one?

I assume you mean staged fights with an audience, as I am sure most of us have seen and probably been involved in quite a few bare-knuckle scraps in our time. Just out of curiosity what timeframe are we looking at.

How many managers are Chelsea still paying wages to? lol

The old song you refer to was called Blue Skies, Nothing But Blue Skies.... Sorry to spoil your gloom:cool: By the way,you're only playing at Winter over yonder.

The documentary Newtown is a tear-jerking look at the families of murdered kids of mass shootings, the Newtown one specifically. Very tastefully made but extremely sad, anyone who has or has had little kids will identify with the anguish of these poor people.Even people with no kids will need a hankie to watch this one.

What a shame a lot of the footage is filmed by British soldiers on arriving at Belsen,also American and Russian soldiers at Birkenhau and Auschwitz. Some of those old soldiers were in their late 80s and they were having a hard time relating to what they saw, almost all breaking into tears at their interviews. It is the most stomach turning documentary I have ever seen, but should not be missed by anyone. I must stress it is the documentary not the recent movie of the same title. There is alot of footage from the doc on YouTube

It was genocide especially Sarajevo, I know a guy who was with the Canadian forces as a Peacekeeper, during the siege. They were not allowed to retaliate to the bombardment by the Serbs unless directly shot at. I also know a Serbian who was shelling the town lol.Yes they both worked at the same company. Of course, there was also Kosovo which caused NATO to bomb Belgrade.Milosevic was another Hitler, except he wanted to exterminate Muslims instead of Jews. ---------- Post added 18-02-2018 at 18:54 ---------- Have you seen the documentary I mentioned earlier in your thread?

There is a good version of "Saved" on the free disc that came with the book " Not like a proper job". I don't think it was a studio track, maybe done at the 'Swan". Can't find the bloody CD to check the date. The disc is all outtakes and demos. There is Dave Berry singing an Elvis song and my old pals the late Pete Fender(Trefor Jones) and the Strollers doing "Whole Lotta Shaking Going On".

One of the 'chesters, Chelski in the semis:P

Let's not even mention the armed forces. How many women make it to the front line in combat?

3pm kick off?? I knew the result at about 2.30 pm your time lol

LOL, Good one ---------- Post added 17-02-2018 at 15:37 ---------- She has Canadian roots, I believe, so she should be an Acting Person as per the Canadian Prime Minister. ---------- Post added 17-02-2018 at 15:45 ---------- It all reminds me of that old one " What does a man do standing, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?" Of course, the answer is quite obvious, they shake hands.

Lol no kidding, but if Huddersfield succumbs to Man U., Wednesday will have all the weight of Yorkshire on their shoulders. This will carry them through:P

Nah, rather meet them in the semi like 1966. lol

Not really pointless with another payday looming, win or lose.

But losing is grimmer;)

Next, we discuss 'the cod war' Should we have allowed Icelandic gunboats to shoot at our trawlers, just for stealing fish? Would Thatcher have stood for it? All wars are a bit fishy if you ask me . Oh sorry I thought you said 'Halibut has clearly got their troll fish";)

Yes, your boys put up a good fight, that's for sure.

Hi there, I knew Steve McKenna at school and from your early Avengers days. Is he still alive and kicking, if so how is he doing, are you still in touch with him?
