Wolfie

Top Gun Maverick

As Dave said, if you like the first, you’ll like this. 
Massive amounts of cheese on screen (too much for me), but for the spectacle it’s still a 6/10 from me. Can’t imagine me wanting to see it again, though. 

I still hope and maybe expect that CKs money will come through but am haunted by his cryptic “It’ll all come out” comment days ago - and then silence. 
 

Maybe the silence is because he’s getting bombarded on twitter but WTF did it mean anyway!?

Strange how much Nixon still thinks CK will buy us 

If the money turns up in the next week or so, he still will. It’s not going to be quick to get any of the other offers sorted.

Sky say exclusivity has been withdrawn, but Kirchner has not formally withdrawn his offer. Is that untrue, according to Nixon?

The bit about exclusivity, yes.

It's not conflicting at all. Withdrawing exclusivity was only ever a rumour. Not 'info'.

I’ve seen SKY report it as fact earlier today.

 No statement still is an absolute joke, the fact that Ashley is quite willingly going to make a deal and they are just ignoring him, someone high up doesn’t want him

Quite a few down here don’t want him either

The Conjuring - The Devil made me do it.

If you like this sort of film, you'll probably like it.

I do, so I did.

The least scary of the Conjuring films so far but decent enough. 6/10

Silent Night

A group of middle class & thoroughly unlikeable people get together for their last Christmas day - because the world is about to end.

Not as funny as it should have been but definitely bleakly thought provoking towards the end. It would have been thoroughly miserable, had I warmed to any of the characters, so good job really that they were all so annoying.

6/10

Reading this has just broke the memory of a simple tennis ball throwing game we used to play against an 8ft high x 10ft wide stone wall - so it had irregular sufaces.

Player 1 throws the ball at the wall and player 2 has to retrieve it.

Player 2 then throws the ball at the wall from wherever they were when they picked it up from the first throw.

Player 3 has to retrieve it etc etc.

A good hard throw and a dodgy angle on the wall often meant you were having to throw it from quite a distance.

Miss the wall. You lose

Somebody catches the ball without it bouncing. You lose

Last kid in the game wins.

We also had a kicking variation of the game but my mum didn't like that one, cos it used to ruin my school shoes.

Both verisons were imaginatively titled: Wally

Happy days

The marketing team responsible for putting all of the announcements together for social media are going to be busy for the next 8 weeks. Takeovers, new contracts, new signings. It's all going to be a bit of a whirlwind assuming everything goes to plan from here on.

That poor corner flag is going to be needing an agent with all the photo ops.

I love Cyprus, it's so instantly familiar yet completely alien when you scratch under the surface. 

Fantastic hospitality, compact enough to explore yet large enough to escape the crowds, and so can cater for every visitor. 

My wife cries every time we set foot there, she feels like she's coming home somehow! 

We even renewed our vows on our 10th Anniversary in Ayia Napa monastery, and a few days later were clubbing a few metres away.

Although this year was supposed to be a "big" Mexico holiday to celebrate our 10th anniversary, Cyprus was always somewhere we wanted to go. Me because I'd previously had 2 lovely holidays there and Mrs Wolfie because she was stationed there for 2 years in the army.

I don't know whether it's what normally happens or I was just lucky but I remember the most amazing sunsets I've ever seen were in Cyprus. On both of my previous visits IIRC.

And......under the bus she goes!

 

Utterly bizarre defence. Well, entire case.

Amusing, though.

Cyprus for 2 weeks from next Wednesday. Just got my main stressful work deadline completed this morning - 2 days early, so have a few days to tie up other loose ends and then BRING IT ON!.

Over 3 years since our last holiday (apart from camping weekends) and this one re-scheduled from March due to my daughter catching Covid.

Can't. Bloody. Wait.

What on earth can RV's team come up with?

 

If Boro do want Gregory, why would he come to us instead?. Cos it won't be for high wages or obviously Chapoinship football. More game time (?) would be the only advantage.

No.  Because by cutting out the word "bald", he would have just called him a "chap".

Well, I think that's what the censored word is!  ?

Coot?

I've read the article but am struggling to get my head around how one man calling another man bald is sexual harrassment.

So if someone comments about me having a stammer, I could sue them for sexual harrassment because stammering is more common with men than women?. Bizarre.

Have to say only loosely followed this but having read through those transcripts they're incredibly damning on both RV and her agent.  Both come across as lovely human beings.  Wonder what Jamie thought as he read through them as bet your bottom dollar he probably knew little of all this as it happened. 

Except that he said in court yesterday that they tell each other everything.

That's not actually correct.

There's no FFP/P&S in League 1. It's SCMP. As a relegated club, we are restricted to spending 75% of our turnover on salaries. However, equity injections count as turnover. If Kirchner actually wanted to and could afford to, the rules would allow him to retain Lawrence. 

Having said that, we know a song about unaffordable wage bills.

Surely whatever business plan we've had to agree with the EFL will trump any pre-existing spending rules.

It was "Itchy Chin" or just "Chiiiiiiinnnn" where I was in the Peak District. Bigger porkies were "Chinny chin" IIRC

Oh god, they’re winning. 

Got off lightly? Years of embargoes culminating in admin, points deductions, asset stripping, relegation and almost liquidation. 
 

Just think, if we hadn’t stayed up on the last day of last season, the club would have died IMO.

Nice to see he's lost some weight since the last sketch (and reshaped his head and face) ? 

I never knew Jarvis Cocker had joined the legal profession

Judge trying to be clever & leaving a trip hazard there. Can't blame her for that.

A delay?.........
