I get the Green'un probably once a month these days.It amazes me that I can't get it before 7:00pm on a Saturday where as twenty five years ago I used to que up outside a newsagents at ten to six waiting for it to arrive at six or a few minutes after.It was a highly valued paper when I was a kid and the late Tony Pritchett used to write about the Blades. I know things have moved on but I used to love buying a Green'un and having a quiet pint whilst looking at the league tables,scores,scorers and attendances etc.It's not the same to me doing this any other way.

I always take a book into the toilet with me,either a Sky sports football yearbook or Playfair cricket annual.I've always found reading stats relaxing and a aid to bowel movement.When I was a kid I had a mate who's dad used to go tut lav with a cup of tea and a fag.

I've checked the BBC 2 website and scanned next weeks schedule on Sky and can't find any reference to the Wire.When does series 2 start on BBC 2?

Comply or be assimilated.You have no right to question the merits of anything. Sheffield City Council.

Does anyone know when series 2 starts,it's the final episode of series 1 tomorrow and I'd have thought series 2 would have started on Monday.I've checked the schedule on the bbc website and I can't find any timings for the Wire next week.I'm smitten by this show,best thing since the Sopranos.

It must be bad if they have to employ doorman on a week day afternoon.I think I'll give it a miss.

The conversation was brief to say the least,just a how are you going on etc.I couldn't believe how cold my old mate was.To be honest I'm not that bothered which may seem contradictory,I've got thick skin but I just hope he's Ok.

Have you bumped into somebody you grew up with and you've not seen for ten or fifteen years and started up a conversation and wished you'd just walked on by and never bothered.I did this today and I'm going to pop into my GP's tomorrow to make an appointment,I think I might have leprosy.I'm dumbfounded,we used to be good mates and I don't think I've changed that much apart from getting married and having kids.I'm puzzled.

http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=s22611 I remember it as a youngster proir to it being demolished,it's a pity the club did'nt renovate it and turn it into a club shop or museum.It was a lovely old pavilion and should have been kept for posterity,some great cricketers played there.

It is mate but I'd rather play Donny than Charlton,Southampton or Norwich.I don't think they dislike us that much,their rivals have been Scunny and Attercliffe United for the last few decades.Good luck to em,they've had a crap time of it over the last ten to fifteen years and the town needs a bit of a pick me up.

Nice one,I remember going to Stoke 2:1,losing at Pompey 3:2,the night game at Blackburn 0:0 and then Leicester.I did'nt go to that game up the M1 because I've always disliked them and we got beat.Leicester was the best day of my life following the Blades,great result and they got relagated.

Reply to Rocklegend. It was getting close to the end of the season and we had been pummeled 5:0 by West Ham the week before and I thought we would blow it.I'd never seen the Blades in the top flight even though me old man took me in the early 70's,I could'nt remember.I was so eager to see United get promoted.You've got to remember that when I started going to games in the late 70's and 1980's United were at there lowest.

I'm sorry if my post sounds offensive,I was putting it together without reading your post,your dad sounds like a top bloke.Up the Blades.

I'll be amazed if any one confesses to going over to the other side,I'm forty one and have been a Unitedite all my life,my old favver introduced me to a life of pain and heartache at an early age and looking back I would'nt have missed it for the world.I've never met anyone who's swopped sides apart from the odd kid whose's jumped on the ManU,Liverpool bandwagon.You support either United or Wednesday till the day you die otherwise in my opinion your a Judas like save face charactor.I remember going home after Barnsley beat us 2:1 at the Lane in March 1990 thinking that that had scuppered our promotion chancers and I put my foot through a door at home,my old man put his arm around my shoulder and said"get used to it,I've been a Blade for 30 years and it's life".I've since then realised that supporting United has made me cope with lifes ups and downs.Best thing was we got promoted,although it cost me £15 to replace that kitchen door.

Sorry,misread the thread.

When I did my second tour of duty in Nam,I'd have been over the moon with a bit of protein in the rice given to me when imprisoned by the Viet Cong.Believe me,you can't beat a big stag beetle in your Uncle Bens.

I know who they are but for those who don't, enlighten us with their everyday views of the world.

Heed this forumers advice,we don't want these people in our city.

I normally have a bet on the football on Saturday but due to no premiership or championship fixtures I thought I'd have a fiver each way on docofthebay in the Lincoln instead.

I'm not a follower of motor racing but what's a "braun rear diffuser".It sounds like something my missis uses to dry her hair.

I thought that as well,listening to BBC national radio this morning I was told that forensic officers had taken away his car for further examination.They did'nt take away my Ford Fusion when it was broken into last July.

I finally managed to get access to my account after three and a half hours of trying.I don't know what the problem is but I like to keep tabs on things,I don't trust Paypal or ebay.

What about giving the seller some feedback seeing as you love your new t shirt.

I've always wanted to be a pot washer at the Bora Bora.

Funny how that item was updated 15 minutes ago and you can no longer see the attendance figure on the back of the shirt.
