    Only wind up needed , is a wind up radio. 

    it's not often I agree with you Hackey , but you've hit it right on the noggin there chum - instead of batteries, he could use Padders Power - thus saving money and also getting fitter to pull more pints for me in the Bar.  Win Win!!

    Just think what you could do with the money you saved if you didn't get a decent electrician to do a decent job and fit said power socket where apparently safety laws forbid it in the first place..........perhaps even buy a decent DAB radio and some batteries?

     

    If you do not take this advice, I would suggest you double-check your will, especailly the bit about who you would leave the famous Padders Bar to.  You really ought to make important arrangements like that are in place when considering mixing things like water and electricity.

    ‘He’s eleven pence three farthings’

     

    Meaning not a full shilling.

    The version I've heard a lot over the years is calling someone "sixpence", or even worse "threepence".  Similar idea - not a full shilling, but 3d is far worse than 6d!!  You can use how many pence someone is to to say how far short of a full shilling you estimate the person in question to be!

     

    Modern version?  "a sandwich short of a picnic" and others

    I can just imagine inside Just StopOil HQ -

     

    "Well, we've got all these top events queuing up to give us tickets and free access so we don't get stopped by security, so we "distupt" their events just so they get extra publicity.  Which shall we choose? "

    But with our previous specialist defensive coach also being our manager, it makes good sense to bring somwone with experience in to alleviate the gaffer of the additional duties.

     

    All about coaching structure, something that the gaffer believes in. It's worked so far to have specialist coaches in midfield (macca) and up front (lester), so I trust in him completely in adding to these...

    Totally behind the logic - just wish someone with more actual recent PL experience of defending (or even coaching) defending at PL level had been chosen.  A year or 2 too early for Jags, sadly!

    so, we've gone up to the PL and signed as defensive coach someone who played a total of 16 games in the PL, the last time 10 years ago.  I wonder how much help that will be to our players wondering how to cope with PL strikers?

    A visit to "Padders Bar" would almost certainly lift your depression.

    Plus you will get the benefit of helping Thirsty with his crossword.

    Mine is a cryptic one though - I think the Metro one is just a normal crossword.  Would still be good to have another brain working on it though!

    I thought everyone who'd wanted to see it had already seen it, Mr Padders!


    At a time when no-one seems to take responsibility for anything and everyone is blaming someone else...
    ... "We Didn't Kill The Forum!" seems to be an even more fitting tribute to the present day than when it was written 6 years ago! (Wow - how time flies!)


    Anyhow, unlike some of the "has-beens" who seem happy to turn up at music festivals and churn out their old hits because they've never again managed to come up with anything close to matching their finest work...
    ... us "never-will-bees" are always striving (and sometimes even succeeding) to better our last epic performance!


    So the offending musical masterpiece was removed from prying eyes!


    But if you REALLY want to witness once again one of the finest animated spectacles ever transmitted across the forum bandwidth...
    ... then lock all doors, close all windows, and draw the curtains!


    Be warned that I cannot accept any responsibility for the possible distress that could be caused to any innocent party as a result of prolonged exposure to this work of contemporary (albeit a few years out of date) genius!


    And just to be on the safe side, I've also put it inside a spoiler to hide it away from any sensitive trolls who might be offended on someone else's behalf!


    Watch at your own risk!


    (After all that, I hope this is the one you're going on about, Mr Padders!) :hihi:

    I really can't work out why, but that is the first time I've seen this masterpice!

    The number of times I've been "Stood up" outside Cole Brothers is a distant memory.

    I bet there are a lot of females who would be wishing they had turned up if they knew you are now a well liked and respected owner of a thriving pub, as well as being a noted social observer on SF

    We Blades currently have the sum total of 2 first-team midfielders under contract, so clearly that is the priority area.  However, there is talk of Man City megastar right-back Kyle Walker returning to the Lane, and him having a choice between City, us and Bayern Munich. Hmmm!   Also, we've been linked today with Everton misfit defender Mason Holgate. 

     

    Anybody heard of us being linked with any decent midfielders?

    I feel I must apologise ....


    ... having been an influence on his early writing career by introducing him to the rather riveting "Diary of a Techie Dinosaur"! :)

     

    I didn't realise you were to blame!  How's about introducing him to some other literary classics to help simplify his writing style - e.g. "The Beano".

    I just spent 10 good minutes of my time reading all that - 10 minutes I have now lost forever - to go with the many hours of many evenings I have lost over the years due to other matters (hic!).   2 things Padders:

    1. Dont take up writing reports of sporting events - if you wrote a report of the first Ashes Test for example, all 4 would have come and gone before we'd read it.
    2. Somewhere (I think it was on page 15) of your epic, you state "That's why I have spent all of my life ensuring that I'm no good at anything".  WRONG - you are a top pub Landlord!  Cheers!  See you later!

    My favourites are the warning on packs of cashew (and other nuts) saying in very small print "may contain nuts" - as far as washing machine pods are concerned I can't eat them as the cartons have child-proof  Thirsty-Proof locks, so I can't get in!

    I leather my windows, but they still get mucky again.

    I stopped cleaning mine years ago - pointless as they just get mucky again.  When (if) I can't see therough them, perhaps I'l clean them then!  :)

    I'm trying to get Nadine, just to make Hackey jealous..........

    NO, No, NO,   ... - you shouldn't have posted that - all the other girlies on this thread will now back off as they are not your number 1 choice.  That will severly shorten your list of possibles.......
