Pearl Ram

My wife bought 15 types of cake for my daughters 20th birthday and virtually none of it touched so i am going to eat ? loads of cake until I’m sick.

I can remember watching it with my son and after hearing about the firies running into the destruction to try and save lives he decided he wanted to become a fireman. Fast forward 10 years and he became the youngest captain in modern history for Qld fire & rescue. He has marched with the New York’s firies a couple of times to commemorate 9/11. He was part of International Rescue and flew into Christchurch after the 2011 earthquake to help with the recovery and retrieval process.
Here’s a shot of his tattoo to commemorate Christchurch 2011.

Í agree,  DCFC only. 
I’m disillusioned with the way football is run and only clinging on because I love the Rams  

I had never heard of the expression before and wrongly concluded it was a typo like the aforementioned Judy. I apologise.
Everyday’s a school day. 

The club has been for sale ages and only just now in administration. Buyers have been put off because of the debt most likely- or Mel Morris’ asking price. 
May support a Phoenix team- AFC Derby County or something but would probably feel strange. Derby City just won’t connect with me, likewise Derby Rovers or anything similar ;  probably won’t bother supporting a club team in all likelihood if Derby folds. Hopeful something can be sorted though and we can be good again one day. 

I'm in the same place. Derby County is my team. Anything else with another name isn't.

Oh ! Thank you.
What’s American for What a load of baalocks ?

Isn’t that what Lee Dixon is, and all those other annoying Co-commentators that just talk about their glory days over the game. I got the term from wwe to be honest, I just thought that’s what Co-commentators are called. They’re not really Co-commentators, cos they don’t do any commentating, they’re just there to add colour. 

I am writing this, largely out of frustration, but I feel I need to get it off my chest.
My dad was a season ticket holder for 50-odd years and he died of cancer in September. (I joined him as a season ticket holder from 1987)
He had renewed his ticket for the 2020-21 season before the pandemic hit which was carried over into this season.
In April, when he knew he was too poorly to go again, he wrote to the ticket office advising as such and would therefore prefer a refund to the ticket for 2021-22.
He received a response saying that the club could not provide a refund as the deadline had since passed.
As a result, I wrote to the club in July to see if an amicable solution could be found to transfer his ticket to my friend who would pay the difference from a 65+ ticket to a standard adult one, then paying my dad for the rest of the ticket.
I heard nothing.  I chased again twice and still heard nothing.
In an attempt to try and sort it out before the season ticket deadline (after my dad had recently died and after Derby had gone into administration), I went to the ticket office and was advised the process would be that my friend would have to buy the ticket in full and my dad could get a refund on his seat, due to his death.
I therefore paid for my friend’s seat (which was my dad’s seat) in full for my friend and gave details with regards to getting a refund.
This week, the SLO contacted me to say that it would be possible to upgrade his seat to my friend and to contact the ticket office accordingly, in response to my email sent in July.
When I explained what I had already been told by the ticket office, I received another email advising that due to the administration events, no refund could be given at all.
So, Derby County have taken my dad’s money and my friend’s money for the same seat, have given me conflicting information and are now reneging on returning my Dad’s refund (which would have obviously gone to my mother).
I have requested that I get his season ticket back but for a different seat, as I can either bring someone else, or sell it on to recover some of the cash, but have had no response so far.
I can’t express how poorly I have felt Derby have handled this, (effectively costing me over £300) and it shows how much they valued my dad as a “customer”, when their lack of providing the correct information or acting in a timely manner could have seen this resolved.
Overall, I’m really saddened that this becomes my Dad’s final legacy with the club that he loved.

This is shameful. I'd pop something up on the club's Twitter feed and embarrass them into putting this right by some form of discretionary payment. A long shot perhaps, but I'd not be letting this lie. Best of luck in any case.

Four games in a week’s a bit tough on Gibraltar. ?

Not really, they are rock hard.

Can't we just call it Gibbo's bitter and be done with it?? ??

"Liquidation" obviously.

You could be referring to the blokes team or the ladies to be fair.

I like his strength of character. Two early clangers in successive games at a new club would see lesser characters have a confidence crisis. He seems to be overcoming those early errors with aplomb. That might be an indication the management team handled those incidents well and contributed to rebuilding any confidence he lost.
It must be tough going into a new club and not starting as well as you hoped but it’s good to read so many positive posts about him. ?

Aw, are you calling it a day posting on here ? I’ll miss you.
No wait...I’m over it. ?

Had a quick look, it’s all double Dutch to me. ?‍♂️

One of the facts we do have at hand is he never paid the tax bill. At what point did think that would never come back to bite him on the arse ?
