    Mr Poppadom is the type that pulls his tape measure out when Eastenders is on to check the length of skirts on screen.
    Too short, a strongly worded letter goes into the BBC.
    Will write to his local MP if his bin collection is delayed by a day, the MP now has him blocked on all social media.
    Watched 5 episodes of The Bill and thinks he now has a law degree.
    Has a neighbourhood watch sticker in his window and won't return any footballs that land on his property.
    Turns his underpants inside out to cut back on his washing.
    Goes to bed with a teddy like Mr Bean and his entire wardrobe contents is beige.
    Probably couldn't even tell you who the current Bristol Manager is but has read the EFL regulations 6 times already this week.
    His biggest life achievement was completing a Sudoko in under 5 minutes but still yet to have kissed anyone since his mum as a kid who he still calls mummy.

    Philmycock reacted to uttoxram75 in Factory jobs   
    I've been elected to represent the factory based salaried staff in the Consultation meetings regarding the "proposed" closure of our factory.
    Had our first meeting today and it was quite brutal. We're ducked. Its an old site and due to several changes of ownership in recent years leading to no investment, coupled with mental increases in the price of flour, sugar, palm oil, and energy costs over the last 18 months, there is no way back.
    We are not financially viable.
    We have been through severe restructures in recent years, chopping jobs left, right and centre to no avail, the company that owns us does not want to modernise and invest so we will close in March 2022.
    I've worked there for 42 years. Started as a machine operator in 1978, ended up as a Shift Production Manager, covered the Operations Manager role for a period when the site was between owners. FFS, I met me missus there!
    In a small town like Uttoxeter, I have seen kids and grandkids of lads I first worked with start their working life at the factory. Had blokes coming up to me in pubs demanding to know why their lad had been sacked, had people begging me for jobs, my wife has been threatened because I had to sack somebody.
    I have also had people come up to me and thanked me for giving them confidence to improve their lives, people who I used to work with who now run their own businesses who always buy me a pint because they were inspired by me. I can't express the feeling that gives me.
    My son did his engineering apprenticeship at the factory and is now the Operations Manager for Aggreko in Asia. My daughter worked there for a few years part time running the factory shop and now runs her own business.
    We used to do Evening shifts, Lunch Time relief shifts  etc that appealed to mums who wanted a part time job to work around childcare but we had to stop all that as we got taken over by different companies. We were a factory that was part of our community.
    Its a sad situation but I will do everything I can to negotiate the best possible deal for the people who have asked me to represent them.
     
    I'm a bit emotional and had a couple of drinks so time to call it a night.

    Philmycock reacted to KBB in Who would you like as new DCFC owner?   
    Im not advocating Ashley, or any of the names listed, but all I think is this. The club has a real chance of going bust. Not existing. No Derby county. It is that serious. The club my dad has been a ticket holder for over 45 years and myself 25 plus. I can't comprehend not going with him to watch the club we both love.
    For me, at this moment in time all I care about is this club surviving. I couldn't give a rats about Ashley and his time at Newcastle if I am honest, or evans and his time at Ipswich.
    If you are starving you don't turn down boiled pasta because you would rather have lobster. You could be dead before anyone does.
    The dream ticket will not arrive.
    This will not be fixed in a couple of years. This will take 10 years. I think we have to embrace that.

    I went for the Binnie Brothers. Its about time this club took a bit of a gamble.

    Philmycock reacted to thelovebelow in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.   
    This is precisely the reason the club mentioned covid in their statement about admin. They also made a point of saying it would have been profitable had it not been for lock down. 
    300k is a risk worth taking. Call me naive but I think the club have a case. Would we be in admin without it? I don't think so. 
    Not sure how brave the Efl would be halving it with the outcries from other clubs led by gibson

    Current LeAgue positions are not that relevant especially as if season ended now both clubs would be in the Championship.
     
    it’s the long term future potential for clubs and in that I don’t see that much difference between Newcastle or Sunderland, certainly no more than a 50% discount
