Half-Witco(mpo)op

I went out with a girl when I was sixteen and we agreed at the time we wouldn't watch ET (it was released that year) due to the endless media kerfuffle about it all. Couple of years ago we bumped into each other at a mutual friend's do (some forty years later). Neither of us has ever seen ET - it seems love dies but stubborn intransigence is forever....

The Never Ending Story - I was daunted by the prospect

It is one of those things that only reveals itself fully in the final episode and tests the patience in order to stick to that (people not answering a straight question with a straight answer, improbable ommissions in the story telling etc). I found I could only judge whether it was worth it once I'd watched it all. I didn't think it was 2/10 but it also ain't anywhere near 10.😀

This bit is especially good:
'Derby midfielder Max Bird among the admirers'
It says the opposite of what he wants to say. A Twitter Spoonerism.
It should be called 'doing a Marilyn': During the filming of one scene of 'Some like it Hot', Marilyn Monroe  (as the character 'Sugar') had to say the line, 'It's me, Sugar' but kept saying, 'Sugar, it's  me,' which,  of course, is something quite different. (as an aside, she messed it up so many times that they had to write it down for her.)

This is so funny. Now I know we have our grammar police division, I try very hard not to join them (even though I know they’re right most of the time,  certain “things” do grate 🤪, thing is I am with a mixed group of folk with diverse roots but for the most parts we all have similar brain cells. We also have no pretensions to grandeur or superiority or even claims to elevated knowledge . After all we are just folk who love talking about our club. Who we are, where we come from, our intellectual prowess is entirely secondary.
THIS bloke is an effing JOURNALIST. He is supposed to be an informed, articulate wordsmith. It’s his flipping job ! I mean do you decide to be be a micro surgeon when you’ve got a manual tremor and visual impairment ?
 
Dazza  can’t  write clear coherent English. How the eff has he got this job ? why on earth do we give him headspace or even a click ? A One legged man at an arse kicking party springs to mind. About as useful as a car park extension at Wycombe!

I wonder if any seek validation by speculating about others talking about them.

Aston Villa in the cup.
1992?

How come we're not top then? 😄

Boom boom

Over here in pedants' corner, we note that they have both gained a point in that scenario.

We removed the Polls as they weren’t that good? Birmingham City finding that out now 

I feel sorry for poor Wayne.
Wait, no, I don't feel sorry at all.

Should be wearing the home kit here.

Palace stay up every year but they offer nothing. I’d be bored stiff if I was a supporter of theirs.
Forest seem to be aspiring to be them too.
I honestly don’t see the clamor to be a 17th - 13th PL club. You lose 50% of the time, you have a big negative GD, you get battered by the top clubs, you uncomfortably cling on to every victory, your best players will just get poached every year, you largely play crap football and half of your games are moved away from the Saturday 3pm kick off time.
 

Wow, just wow... what a complete and utter tool this man is.
A woman who has spent a successful professional career playing football to a level where she has represented her country over 100 times and has played in international tournaments, is in apparently not qualified to offer an opinion on football ?
Oh, and women shouldn't be around football clubs doing the job they are qualified to do in case some d******* footballer decides that she's attractive and therefore he is utterly powerless to avoid having an affair with her and it's totally not his fault?
Christ on a bike, is this the friggin' dark ages ?!

It’s all water under a duck’s back anyway.

So you care a lot then?
