Life imitating art,
Fact being stranger than fiction,
Forest paying homage to QPR's away shirt,
Truth never being absolute,
All part of the mysteries of life my boy.
Except the forest one, it's just a very generic red football shirt.

Grimbeard reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in Frank Lampard
No idea. Time will tell. I just despair that so many share the opinion of Franks instagram and twitter army that without him Derby were an irrelevance and somehow we owe him . The other way around in my opinion .

Grimbeard reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in Frank Lampard
Derby are great but I'm off after completing half a job only a year after taking it . = left a massive floater that won't flush but must say the toilet was really clean before I used it. Derby were here long before this blokes tenure and had a pretty good profile from 135 years of history. Hope he gets hammered every week .

Grimbeard reacted to Inverurie Ram in Frank Lampard
I watched the game in Commercial Inn, Inverurie and I bought myself a pint of perroni, sat down next to a bloke with a real parrot on his shoulder!.....I had a look at my pint and it was definitely my first pint of the day......and nobody batted an eyelid to this parrot, big red and green one, looked like he was Man Utd, no blue on him, I think blue is more budgeeregar, anyway there's no joke, no gag coming, this was for real, so I looked up at the big screen and enjoyed the first half, Man Utd leading 1-0.
The bloke and parrot left the pub at half time and the parrot said goodbye on the way out, and the half dozen or so folk sat on the bar stools around the bar turned around on a Sunday afternoon and wished them both a goodbye. I looked at my pint again, did a head shake and carried on as per normal and enjoyed the second half.
Sometimes I wonder why I live in Scotland, I think it's for the entertainment, anyway you couldn't make it up, as for the football, I don't like the Manx, don't like the Spivs, but I'm looking forward to seeing that parrot again!
And if I had one of them modern phones with a camera, I'd have taken a picture, one day I might catch up with the modern world!
Up The Rams.

BS about emissions
So the edict is that every car manufacturer has to lower the average emissions of its “fleet” to a certain level by a certain date or face fines. ... good idea. Stimulates invention and the development of more efficient engines. I’m all for it in principle.
thing is it’s diffucult to meet the objectives for one reason or another ( that’s a different story ) ... so if you are Fiat/Chrysler you do a deal with Tesla, pay them some dosh so that you can count some of their cars as part of your “fleet” thus avoiding fines.
Environmental gain = zero
cow boy statistic generators = 1
What a load of BS. Oh yes and aren’t we clever .. our emissions are falling because we are all nice green and responsible and have an environmental policy in our misssion statement. ....No we just stopped having heavy industry (which co incidentally uses a lot of energy ?) and sent all the dirty stuff to India, China and Vietnam.
Far to much of the environment industry is about statistics and how to bend them to suit the story and the public face you want to portray.
I want to be greener cleaner and less wasteful but loath being conned by spread sheet making wordsmiths who know little or nothing about science, industry and manufacturing in a practical sense.

Grimbeard reacted to Anon in Emiliano Sala
I'm about to be a massive dhead (moreso than usual), so stop reading if you're particularly devastated that some people you didn't know died in a plane crash.
I just can't get over how odd the reaction in Cardiff has been to this tragedy. I completely understand any commemorations held by Nantes. These were people who knew the guy and were friends with him, but few people at Cardiff ever even spoke to him. Just imagine if this happened at your place of work. You're told the new sales director, Emiliano, will not be taking up the position as he unfortunately died in a road traffic accident. You never met him, but saw him once or twice when he was in for interviews. A week later you decide to thank the accounts team for putting in some overtime on one of your projects, "We did it for Emiliano" they earnestly reply. Everyone claps. Ian from the fabrication team is openly weeping. Would you not find this a little bizarre?

A Psychologist on TV said its called competitive grieving, showing you care more than the next guy! Driven by social media. Apparently the stiff upper lip British culture of the past is rapidly eroding away, so I guess we can look forward to more of this stuff.

Do what I do TT - refuse to accept the polite offer by being even politer - "No, No after you. It's your right of way. Thank you so much for stopping but I choose to wait. I'll go when it's the correct thing for me to do." It irritates the life out of them

Grimbeard reacted to ronnieronalde in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
Two things ladies and gents as I've just stumbled onto this thread and still have 260 pages to read. Can you stop being so funny? It's taking too many of my likes. FFS, it's a football forum not a stand up comedy show. Get a grip.
And while I'm on that subject.
People who don't like other posters comments just because it's that poster who has commented. Some genius comments don't get the likes they clearly deserve. (not mine, I hasten to add)
I don't even look at the posters name anymore, just read it and if it's good click like, clap or raise a glass.

Grimbeard reacted to BaaLocks in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
People who commentate / manage their way through the match out loud. Yesterday was sat near some bloke and all game long it was 'that's it, out to Bogle, now forward, inside to Bryce, make your run lad, ooh he's lost it, get your shape back, get back Fozzie, don't let him get the cross in, challenge him, don't give away the corner, good tackle, now up to Mace, give it now then run the line, in you come Mounty, take your time lad' and so on for the whole bloomin' match. Kinda irritating - to say the least - even more so that the erratic outbursts you often get this was a constant drone of bilge.
I wanted to ask him why, whether it somehow made him feel that he understood the game and needed to make that point to everyone around him but I somehow guessed he wouldn't have taken the question positively.

Or maybe I'm just a normal bloke that drive a Range Rover cos I like 'em. Why should this bother or worry you or anyone else?
Agree about the green lanes and reincarnation bits though.

'One life, live it.'
Usually on the back of a land rover with bullbars and a wynch.
a) Reincarnation
b) Being 'alive' isn't synonymous with being a testosterone tourist, churning up the countryside and ruining green lanes for everyone else.
Four by four by duck off.
