  1. Some great suggestions, I'm going for a couple that are further away, but fine to go for a week, I've went to all of them for less. Istanbul: there are loads of sites to see here, probably equivalent to Rome in terms of places I've been. Reasonably priced, great food. Get a Turkish Airlines flight and enjoy a bit more comfort than a budget airline. Marrakech (maybe with Fez too): Budget airlines fly there, could get train between two I think. Both places are really different to Europe (and Istanbul). Could do a trip into Atlas mountains from Marrakech too. Loads of crazy things to photograph, like snakes charmers.
  2. I remember hearing a story about someone at Bill Shankly's press conference when he said about football being more important than life or death. Said it was clearly ironic aimed at people who were taking it too seriously. I actually just looked up the full quote and it's 'literally' dripping with irony: "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."
  3. "Hear the fallout of @angieram and @Ambitious's fallout over fallout at 6pm"
  4. @Tamworthram slams Derby "supporters" for knowingly taking bosses comments out of context. Also fails to condem Holocaust deniers.
  5. A lot of Americanism are old English words that persisted in the US as the Puritans wanted things to stay the same. In the UK, we were less precious over this and the language changed more. Trash, for example, was in a Shakespeare play. Read Melvyn's Bragg's Adventures of English Language for more! Like when kids say "Aks" instead of "Ask", they are picking it up from America, where it came from slave traders from the West Country.
  6. DERBY COUNTY FANS FORUM: MARCH 2024 I read that and genuinely thought there was a march planned for people on this forum. Was trying to work out what we were marching for, perhaps an anniversary of the one about 2 years back? Grimsby to Pride Park?
  7. English version: "the flooding is getting brutal, all industry here is collapsing and we can't even go outside without fear of being eaten by XL Bullies."

  9. Me and my two boys have got tickets for the Orient game. They seen a few big games (Pearson's final match, 2-0 win vs Forest when we scored after 10 seconds or so, Leeds playoff defeat, home defeat to Villa which caused Lamps to rip up a league winning side) but they've never seen us clinch promotion!
  10. Likewise if we end up in Europe with him.
  11. Hopefully that prediction turns out as wrong as your fears for this season.
  12. Are you sure about that? It does register the likelihood of that chance, which is the whole point of it. Stick to exam results.
  13. I just checked possession stats too, expecting it to be about 90%. Was 56% to Bolton. Weird.
  14. Is there anything as dull as people worrying if we'll be rubbish if we go up?
  15. Great timing next week that none of our rivals are playing!
  16. These scores are all perfect. Please remain this way!!! (Unless we score more)
  17. Next season. Lincoln are guaranteed to go up. If we finish 3rd, we aren't going up.
  18. Erm, the only way we aren't playing Lincoln next season is if we don't go up.
  19. Sounds fairly even. We seemed to improve after Gayle went off and we changed things around a bit.
  20. Can't believe they nicked all our songs!
  21. The bentley isn't that big. Maybe 10 at a squeeze possibly?
