I presume one is for drunks, the other for squirrels!

No.
 
What we owe someone doesn't detract from us owning his registration, the same way you own your home even with a mortgage.
On the day we entered administration, we had £8.4m still to pay for the transfers of Bielik AND Jozwiak. At least £2.5m of this was Jozwiak, about £2m has apparently paid off for Bielik already, and some of the remaining £3.9m may actually be for performance related add-ons such as appearances or promotion.

Are we paying in instalments of 50p?

£500,000 wouldn't have changed things dramatically though, and I'd much rather they had their noses put out of joint than snaffle a bargain at our expense. If OB is correct though, none of the bids for players involved all the cash upfront.

The extra money would have come in handy though, instead of the underhand workings of Watford.

Led Zeppelin, "Since I've Been Loving You" (Jimmy Page) has always been one of my favourites.

Think that’s it for you lot I’m afraid. You know it’s bad when even the fixtures are laughing at you.. 

So basically he’s doing research for league one.

Option D - Get in the ground early. Have a few drinks and a bite to eat. Get to your seat early and support the team.

Don’t get the criticism of these players  they are giving everything out there and can’t help the fact that half our team are youth players being asked to conduct a relegation battle. 
Whatever happens this team has been magnificent this season. COYR

Known as Reggie ?

So Mick Coop then.

? girls could go there, but my dad didnt want me standing with the lads.?

So we also wanted to see how the 1888 football league shirt stood up to the test of time, very well I think, let’s hope that the club think so and get it made, this is the concept shirt.

Ah, now that reminds me of Christmas - a baby wrapped in Swadlincote ???

Wow......
I'm going to be honest, I do think this season was almost a freebie, with no transfers of his own really, and a team that was expected to be releagted even without the deductions. Anything other than rock bottom what going to be seen as a success, and you can almost say his team selected itself given the lack of options
But even his biggest critic before this season has to give him some credit, he has stuck around in difficult circumstances when it would have been easy for him to walk without much criticism. He has managed to get a squad of kids, oldies, and scrapheap players and moulded them into a mid table championship team. Everyone at the club plays for him and I actually believe if he walked tomorrow, the players wouldn't win another game this season, that's the togetherness he brings.

Re the home-made spring rolls (above), make a simple runny batter (about 1:2.5 plain flour to water) with a couple of dessert spoons of cornflour and a bit of salt.
Use a tiny bit of vegetable oil (just wet a bit of kitchen towel with sunflower oil and wipe the pan). The pan should be on a fairly low heat. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the batter in the centre and swirl the pan to spread it out. After a minute or so, the edges of the wrapper will start to lift away from the pan. Just slide a spatula under the wrapper, remove from the pan and flip it onto a plate with the fried side upwards. Remove the pan from the heat, re-oil, add more batter, swirl, return to heat, rinse and repeat.
When you've made enough wrappers, stick a bit of your filling in the centre, fold the sides in and roll up. Use a little batter as 'glue' to stick it together. Either spray with a little oil and air-fry (190 C for 10 minutes, turning them over after 5) or deep-fry in hot oil (5 minutes).
The filling I used today was chicken, onion and bean sprouts, all fried in a little oil with black pepper, bird's eye chilies and light soy sauce. When assembling the spring rolls I added a few raw bean sprouts to the mix, to give a little crunch.

Sorry to hear that, buddy, but maybe you need to give it more time?
I'd like to think the pain fades for all of us, over time, but I guess we're all different.  And of course, the amount of time may well affect things.
Mum left us aged 43, 43 years ago.  Dad went 41 years ago, age 49. I'm already 59... 10 years older than what Dad reached... so I've been without a parent for 41 years (I was 16 & 18 when they went). 
That's a lot of years...and a big percentage of my life so far... for the pain to fade... .. but fade it has.  I won't deny that.
But it's also a lot of years for the happy memories to grow ever stronger. 
I do consider myself lucky to have at least reached the end of childhood before they went (Albeit only just!).  Which is more than little sis can say, as she was motherless at 7, and orphaned at 9 years old, so maybe the pain remains stronger for her, and of course, her happy memories of mum & dad are far fewer.
I'm not saying force it, of course.  You have to soak up that pain you feel, and you have to heal in your own time, in your own way.  None of us have a choice on that, and the way we react makes us what we are... and we're all unique!
If I have to give you one tip... Make sure the happy memories outweigh the pain.  You'll not go far wrong in life, if you can manage that.
Best of luck buddy... and don't forget to send your lost loved ones the odd smile, and the odd thumbs up.  They'll be watching.  I'm convinced of that!
