Or (to the tune of yellow submarine)

We all dream of a warney bobble hat, a warney bobble hat, a warney bobble hat

Lost my scarf that day ?

So, ten years ago we were mid table in the championship under Nigel Clough

Top scorer Jamie Ward. Richard Keogh at the back, winner of the Jackie Stamps trophy

What will be the situation in ten years' time?

We've seen what community can do in terms of our lil club, which is quite trivial in comparison with what many have dealt with and still are. I don't do resolutions but I do do intentions, and I certainly intend to be more communal this coming year. Let's spread a bit of 'ram community' to the wider one 

1975

Avatar in 3 d. Plot is Hales but effects are George 

Was walking around a few graveyards recently. Some great epitaphs

Not sure what my choice would be

What is your choice?

(Not for me, silly)

A number of contrary announcements, it's routine, it's end of life treatment, it's chemotherapy

Anyone any idea what is happening?

I'll start

Had less interest in the world cup 

I'll start

Vauxhall bloody zafira

Obviously a stupid name for obviously a stupid car. The very fact that 'limp home mode' was presented as a positive feature thoroughly condemns this BAMFORD of a machine 

Simple rules

Bread doesn't count. Neither does any other carb

I'll start

Cheese and onion 

I have quite a lot of them. Anyone want them? Failing that, how do I recycle the things....

I can't begrudge the open top parade that will naturally follow this thumping one nil win, but the fact is that it demonstrates another example of the distopian days we are living through and is thus slightly irritating

Forest winning is an obvious indicator of the end of days and I would have preferred the four horsemen to be honest 

Just seen the latest boo boo at PSG and it reminded me of Yaya and his birthday cake. Just wondered if others have recollections of similar hand bag moments 

O2 is rubbish at pride park (and too many other places to mention)

Their CEO is paid millions as it is. Just imagine how much he'd get if his product was any good 

FFS

It's all going 'derby' again

Where's the bogs?

Be nice to have some little known facts about god's own city.

I'll start. The song 'Underneath the arches' was written in Derby and inspired by Friargate Bridge 

The team was gutted, parasites also wanted the club to fold. With few exceptions (thank you Blackpool) other supporters were deliberately unaware of the stuff that lay under the administration etc.

The EFL were no help and in many ways promoted the actions of parasites

And yet, and yet... The march, us supporters, the talismanic players who stayed

So no, we're not top of the league, but we're in the league 

Given what they wanted to do to us, and the songs that they promised to sing to celebrate our demise, I think it's important that we just take the win and not gloat.

But it's quite difficult....

Nasty feeling about this one. Really hope I'm wrong

Need a win. Would especially like a flukey last minute one

Iron monger

Free speech itself brings with it consequences, as someone mentioned earlier. That would also include an awareness of others' perceptions 

The awareness of this used to bring with it a degree of self censorship, and we have a number of metaphors linked with going too far in speech, such as 'going too far'(!), 'beyond the pale' etc. All of which suggest an understanding of when something is becoming unacceptable.

Some current rhetoric doesn't quite do this and if you look at word usage the phrase 'saying it how it is ' is increasingly used to excuse comments that would once have seen phrases suggestive of going beyond being used.

Anya's comments are deliberately situated in two fields, one of academia (I'm a professor, look at me) the other of individual voice (see how I can be polemic). It's a case of having cake and eating it as I doubt that anyone would have been aware of her individual voice if it weren't for her academic position.

Thus without her previous positioning of herself as an academic she'd have gathered little attention. As such it would be disingenuous for her university to disassociate from her, her voice is built on a plinth partially constructed by them.

(But dream)
