Bob The Badger

I almost finished Blue Lights and was so disappointed. The first one was great, but this is all love plots and little action. And the acting is a lower standard than the first one. It felt like I was watching The Bill (Northern Ireland). I believe they have already commissioned seasons 3 and 4. I won't be watching. Mrs Badger may be. Then again, she liked Bergerac.

It was excellent, but I think Love/Hate was a smidge (or Nidge) better. More gritty.

That's like somebody in the 1980 saying, I was supposed to be making out with the Nolans this weekend, but then I saw how many there were and thought...nah. For clarification, you cannot have too many episodes of Breaking Bad. In my top 5 of all time.

That's where we got to as well. It was Mrs Badger's idea to vacate the premises which is very unusual for her.

4 episodes into the new season of Blue Lights. A tad disappointed tbh. It feels more soapy and less edgy than the first series, with too many subplots involving love interests. I was just thinking, "I wonder which of the female cops they will kill off?" when Mrs. Badger asked me the same question. Not a spolier as we don't know that, it just feels that way. Not bad but it's gone from an 8.5 to a 6.5 for me up to now.

Yes, I was behind by <gasp> flippant.

I had my account hacked with somebody asking for one. Personally, I deserve one for the Cambridge game. I'd never missed a game in 53 years until I got yellow fever a month ago.

I did it in the Osmaston Upper surrounded by West Ham, and C Stand surrounded by Chelsea. I didn't know I was in the away end. And apparently, neither did the stewards or anybody else for that matter.

You mean more than face value. Their worth is incalculable! I'm prepared to offer Mrs Badgers favourite Coach handbag and Kate Spade shoes. To some that's about a grand. To me it's my nut sack containing my nuts. But tbh, I use my nut sack less than she wears those shoes so it's worth it.

I've no idea tbh because I've not interacted with you before that I remember. But no harm done.

She looks exactly like my eldest, except she'd demand a 1000 thread count cushion.

s***, I'd not thought of that. If anybody does have a ticket, can I please let you know at halftime of the Carlisle match if I want to come in?

no

I had a season ticket for 30 years until I moved to the US. I followed Derby home and away and have stood on terraces with a handful of other Rams fans in the days in the old second division when we had nothing like the away support we have now. And home games dipped under 10k. I put on bus trips many times from Matlock and I was as loyal as pretty much anybody on this board. I now live in western Cornwall, and getting back for games is very difficult. Not least because the number of painkillers I have to take because I get sciatica when driving for more than an hour, is verging on suicidal. I freely admit I'd not want to put myself through the pain and discomfort of driving 6 or 7 hours each way for a meaningless game, so if that means 'sunshine supporter' to you, so be it. But I'm relaxed in the knowledge that I've put in my time and spent tens of thousands of pounds watching Derby on 70 different league grounds. As for why I didn't buy one 4 weeks ago. That was because I had to make a choice of coming up for the Orient game or the last game, and as it was a mate's birthday this last weekend and my wedding anniversary on Saturday, we rolled the dice.

Does anybody know of a site that sells footie tickets? In the US, getting tickets for any game was a snap. If you were prepared to go to a site like Ticketmaster or Stub Hub, there were always literally hundreds, but it doesn't seem there is much of this going on here.

I'd love one too. Drove up from Cornwall for this weekends thinking that would be it until next season. But Mrs Badger has agreed to cover all our dog bases if I can get a ticket. Happy to pay a convenience fee on top of the ticket price and throw in a Doberman or two.

Me and @Eatonram always referred to him as Shirker. His injury went on for ever. Very good player on his day though.

I'm not sure that's true at all, mate. Having said that, I do think we'd be up by now if it wasn't for Steve Cherry's poor goalkeeping.

I thought you were talking about Mrs Badger initially.

What are you talking about? Ignore him people I forgot to say, it also includes a meet and greet with Dave Mackay.

Sorry, north east!

I'm up from Cornwall, and @Eatonram got me a ticket, not knowing a mate had a spare one. It's in South East corner. £12. But we won't pay you a penny more. Welcome to call me on 07761 143 477 BTW, I thought there was a ticket thread but couldn't see it, so apologies if I'm breaking some rules and feel free to delete.

There's no competition for me.

Is that tonight's game you're describing? On episode 4 and as we're heading up to Derbyshire tomorrow, I doubt we'll go back to it. Well acted and filmed but utterly pretentious.
