Not sure how loans work, but Simon Dawkins doesn't need to start work in the MLS till early March, time to get the SDMLB functioning again?

Simon Dawkins for a return anyone? A McClaren player if there ever was one: skilful, comfortable on the ball and knows his job, especially when coming on at the end to protect a lead by just keeping hold of the ball. I would love to see Dawks strutting his stuff in a Derby shirt again. A truly lovely football player.

Indeed....
 
Toiletiquette: The Unwritten Rules Of The Men’s Public Toilets

Men’s toilets can be a confusing place. There are some scary smells and questionable stains. But there are some unwritten rules that sometimes get overlooked. Don’t break them.
We’ve all got several public toilet related anecdotes. You don’t want to feature in anybody else’s.
Which urinal do you use?
If the room is empty, this is an easy one. You use the one at the far end. If you are second in, you use the one on the opposite end. That’s just how it is. If both are taken, you use one in the middle, but not next to one of the lads who got there before you. If there is no urinal left that isn’t directly next to somebody, you may opt to go in a cubicle.
Obviously you leave the door wide open if you do that so that nobody else tries to go in. If you absolutely HAVE to go, and need to use a urinal right next to somebody, then the following rule becomes extra important.
Avoid eye contact, and no talking.
You look straight ahead as much as possible. If you DO look at another lad when they walk in, be careful where your eyes aim. Don’t check out their trainers, your eyes must not go low. And keep quiet. Don’t be that bell end that talks in there. Announcing your entrance with a **** joke like “Wooo! So THIS is where all the ***** hang out!” will not make you popular.
 
Do you wash your hands?
Yes, if somebody else is in there. Otherwise, only if you’ve got wee on them. Don’t pretend you wash them every time, you don’t and that’s okay.
Don’t whistle or sing.
You’re not at home. Whistling is annoying as ****. And CERTAINLY don’t if you are in the cubicle having a poo. That is just extra weird.
Don’t text at the urinal.
You don’t want to get wee on your phone. And it’s also sod’s law that you’ll drop it. Plus it’s kind of weird to text your mates while touching your knob. This rule does not apply in a cubicle though. Using your phone while having a poo is absolutely essential.
Don’t unzip until you’re stood at the urinal.
This should be obvious, but wait until you’re at the urinal to get your tool out. Any earlier is just odd. Similarly, put it away before you turn around. It is optional, but preferred if you can sort your flies and belt out before you turn around. But definitely no willy in the open area of the bogs. Absolutely never.
Use the mirror sparingly.
You’re not a girl. You don’t have time for it. A quick glance to check that your hair doesn’t look like a burst sofa is fine. But don’t spend ages in there styling it, you will look like a muppet. Don’t check out your gym progress, and definitely don’t pop spots in there either. It’s grim.
 
There are some other things to remember that don’t require any explanations…
The phone number that is given on the back of the cubicle door offering BJs, probably isn’t an attractive woman. Or a woman at all.
If you enter a cubicle and it’s unflushed and full, leave it that way and use a different cubicle.
If you MUST spit a big greeny, make sure it’s in the urinal, not on the wall. Don’t be that guy.
Always check there is toilet roll before you sit down. It’s not like you can shout your housemate from downstairs.
DON’T SPLASH YOUR OWN OR ANYONE ELSE’S TRAINERS.
Don’t try to make friends with everyone in there. In and out. Let the girls spend half their night in the toilets talking to strangers.

Last night i drove to the airport to pick up friends returning from Spain.  i really like watching people reunited, the joy and love there for all to see, while blissfully unaware of anyone else around.  Brings a smile to face every time.

Derby County 'Gift Card' - bought in ticket office by my hubby as a birthday gift back in March. Finally got round to buying a top I liked in shop - 'sorry can only use it for tickets' No problem as we go to all away matches. Next away match in ticket office 'sorry you can only use it for home tickets'. 
No clear terms and conditions on the card. 
We are season ticket holders so only buy tickets for cup. I could have used it for EFL cup but too late now.
Bought in March, it runs out next March so we better get a home FA cup draw or it's wasted. What a palaver! 

Because I'm hinting at a birthday card alright!

Why not just say 34? I'm off to the Random Things That Annoys Me Thread.

when people let your tyres down! 
I once went to York on a lads weekend, and in the morning, my wife went into labour and I had to rush back, but some tosser had deflated my tyres so I missed the birth of my triplets.

cant wait for fm17, even though it's the same game every year. put in over 2k hours on the last one

Been thinking about posting on this thread for a while now ! But keep putting off from fear of what others may think ( stupid I know) . 
Recently, say the past year or so . I've developed real bad anxiety before I go out. Mainly in social situations , where alcohol is involved . I know I'll be fine when I'm out (had a drink) but I get so worked up before , to the point were I'm literally in a daze for about a week before . 
I'm going to the Huddersfield game( my first away game in a while) normally this would be fine , but I'm going with other people that are out of my immediate comfort zone and I'm getting myself into the same place mentally , were I don't want to be ! It's spoiling something that deep down I'm so excited about . Sorry for the long post and my whin9ng but really feel I needed to express my feelings some were especially were people may have been through the same thing .

Skyrim Remastered comes out in a couple of weeks.
Goodbye world. I'd be willing to bet that's the game I've lost the most hours to, along with Rome: Total War, and Football Manager.

Jeez, nobody wanted your life story mate....;)

I'd add to that people who are inconsolable when someone famous dies who they don't even know nor have never met. Bugs me.
Like when Princess Diana died. I understand that in her case she was well loved by many people but enough for hordes of folk to travel to London from all over the land and stay in hotels and stuff at great inconvenience and cost?
Give me a break. They just wanted to get on telly sobbing.
I find it almost inexplicable how the death of someone you don't know or have never met can bring on so much emotional outpouring. Talk about mass hysteria.

I got outbid on Sammon, how does that even happen? ?

My Ultimate Team is coming along nicely, have substantial bids in for Moxey and Sammon. Chemistry isn't all that but hey, at least it's realistic!

As long as you don't mind sony losing your bank details.

On here it would have to a 'Boooooooooo' button

This must have been covered but just in case - I really hate the clickbait adds you get on all sites now with headlines like, 'She didn't know why the crowd were still cheering', 'The cameraman didn't expect to see that', '76 historical photos you won't believe' or 'Derby County close to signing...'
I am no expert in Google rankings but I am sure that these adds probably do more damage for the sites than benefit.

Talking of hotels - that weird strip of useless material that they always insist on putting over the end of the bed, and you just have to take it off and chuck it on the floor.
 
I mean - it doesn't annoy me as such - I just don't understand it

Those toasting machines you find in holiday hotels.
4 times through yesterday just for a light browning, today I put 2 larger slices of local bread in(felt like toast before I'd put it in), after a long wait looked inside and realised the bread was stuck at the back of the toaster!
Did the decent thing, and grabbed a croissant and yogurt before slipping off.
I'm hoping the resulting blaze destroyed any incriminating CCTV evidence!
 

Freaky dreams that stain your mind for the rest of the day.
Last night I dreamed that I was on a train opposite a woman who kept smiling at me and producing small white  button mushrooms by squeezing the soft skin at the end of her nose.
I've been on edge all day.
Work that one out, Sigmund. 

Just to add that I hate the hypocrisy amongst most footy fans with regards cheating. Timewasting is an example. Derby do it I'm sure when they are winning with time running out yet fans aren't screaming at their own players for cheating. Opponent does it and all hell breaks loose. Many more examples.
Cheating is part of the game now and every team does it. Sometimes you'll benefit and sometimes not. Can see your point though jono. IMO a player who goes down claiming he's been assaulted and clutching his face should be sent off. It is not only cheating but shows a lack of respect for another human being and if it were me being accused then I'd go for litigation immediately.
Just like if someone had accused me of a crime I hadn't done and been proved. I'd have the liar in court. Same in the football cheating incidents claiming they've been assaulted and its proven on replays they are making it up.

No bog roll.    

Who's getting football manager 17?
