    Bob The Badger got a reaction from lrm14 in Double-Edged Sword   
    The problem with coke is it highlights peoples flaws and makes them more confident to not worry about those flaws, a bit like alcohol without being blindingly obvious to other people or eventually falling over.

    Not that I ever took it in my clubbing days, but er, if I had, it would have made me more likely to hug people than get aggressive.

    But that isn't always the case and I know people who took it and became super arrogant and aggressive. And if people take it in a group of dicks, they're going to become a dick too.

    It would definitely account for what is being discussed, and it's highly doubtful anybody who has never taken it would know from dickish behaviour. 

    Having said all that, it's expensive (at least it was I'm told) to the point that Sting once said 'Cocaine is Gods way of telling you that you have too much money' so I doubt a LLOT of people can afford it. But I could be wrong.

    Amazing how Jared Goff is responsible for Brady winning two Super Bowls. What a player, whatever happened to him?

    I have a soft spot for 'Our menu options have recently changed' because it would seem all companies do these days is change their menu options.
    We are experiencing higher than normal call volume is a beauty too. My bank is literally experiencing higher than normal call volume every time I call - which does tend to have me thinking that the higher levels is really the norm, and not what they were getting in 1967.
    But I think Sky are pulling out all the stops with an email I got the other day telling me that my programmes were handpicked. Of course they are.

    Bob The Badger got a reaction from Raich Carter in Steve Gibson trying to liquidate Derby   
    You cannot liquidate a company that is in administration.
    And it's almost impossible to sue one and win.
    So maybe he's trying, but he won't do it.
    Let's panic about everything else.

    We didn’t just take it, we massively improved on it, by locating it in not-Middlesbrough.

    Companies who claim that they value your loyalty, but put up the yearly charges for the services they provide. Meaning you have to go through all the BS with their call centre, to get this charge reduced, while having to listen to someone repeating how much they value your loyalty. Knowing the person you are talking to is just offering you what they are reading off computer screen. And what you should have been offered originally.

    It's utter nonsense the one of our own malarkey imho.
    This is professional sport and whereas some players are naturally more loyal because they are local, most move on because they're too good and want more money, or not good enough and the club doesn't need them.
    Grealish still left a pretty big club in Villa because he wanted more from his JOB even though he'd been a Villa fan all his life.
    Mason Bennett was one of our own until caught on camera saying ducking burn whilst driving past Pride Park.

    If a player or member of staff is loyal to the club then he's one of our own.

    Bob The Badger got a reaction from angieram in Mel Morris fan club   
    I have defended Mel Morris simply on the grounds that 95% of what has been going on has been hidden from us as fans.
    It’s super easy to criticise people when you don’t have all the facts to hand.
    I thought a personal investment of £200 million to try and get us back in the top flight deserved a bit of leeway.
    I also found people doubting his fandom a bit pathetic to be honest.
    He’s run this club poorly, but spending big bucks on players, offering high wages and moving on from managers who have big contracts is not the sign on a man who doesn’t desperately want success for his club.
    For those of you who remember Maxwell, that was far worse in certain respects because he didn’t give a rats ass about Derby. Tthough time softens the memory and we always think the problems we’re experiencing now have never been so bad.
    Nobody gets caught in a violent thunderstorm and goes home saying, that was the 7th worst thunderstorm I’ve ever experienced, it’s always the worst.
    So I was prepared to sit on my hands and wait.
    But his treatment of Rooney and the fact he never told him about administration means my fence-sitting days are over because that was despicable and I’m happy he’s effectively gone.

    Having said that, I really hope Derby fans don’t hate on the guy. No matter how badly he’s handled this, I have no doubt his intentions were good for the club and the city. He was just not very good at running a football club and then couldn’t manage failure.
    I’m not worried about going down and I hope if/when we do Rooney stays and we build some stability around a good crop of youngsters. And obviously, we take the red dogs with us.
    As has been said before, to those of you not old enough to remember, we had a LOT of fun in the old third division days under Arfa.
    Wolves went through administration and have done ok and Leicester seemed to have struggled on.
    It seems all doom and gloom, but this will build a siege mentality with the club and us fans and we could end up thinking it was a good thing to start afresh.

    Time to hand that resignation letter in mate because the bright lights are calling.
    Do not waste such a God-give talent.
