You can't bullship a bullshipper. Or something along those lines.

Oh gotcha. Makes sense now. Didn’t realise you were using “ship” instead of a similar word. Duh!

That's a really interesting thought!

What is it they say about shipping bulls to a bull-shipper?

Eh? No, what do they say?

A 1924 entry in Evelyn Waugh's diary states that an English High Court judge, presiding in a sodomy case, sought advice on sentencing from the Lord Chancellor,  Lord Birkenhead. "Could you tell me," he asked, "what do you think one ought to give a man who allows himself to be buggered?" Birkenhead replied without hesitation, "Oh, thirty shillings or two pounds; whatever you happen to have on you."

Except he didn't 'literally' leave when the takeover was announced. That is just false. You are the one who are lying.

 

But didn’t he resign on 24 June and Clowes named as preferred bidder on 26th? Not exactly “literally” but close.

Ah. I remember him well in the 50s. Great player. Almost 91! He had that awful disease Alzheimer’s towards the end. 

I recall (vaguely) going to the Derby Arts Ball in 1965 at Elvaston Castle, when it was still private. The music was from Spencer Davis Group before “Keep on Running” . And Stevie Winward stole my girlfriend. Anyway, I went dressed as a knight in armour. Real metal. The visor had broken and was stuck in the down position so had to drink through a straw. Whenever I wanted a pee, I couldn’t get everything off in time so just peed down my armoured legs. The shoes became very squelchy and I lost half a stone in sweat. 
 

My only other venture in fancy dress was a few years ago at a New Year’s Eve party and I couldn’t be arsed to dress up so dipped my little finger in gold paint and went as Goldfinger. A lot less bother.

Age and experience doesn't automatically equal know-how.

It seems people are now happy for us to chuck away wages on players happy to sit on the bench knowing and being happy with the fact that  they'll hardly ever have to play to earn them, just because they're popular in the dressing room. Beats me!

But doesn’t having experience mean having know how? The dictionary definition of experience is “getting knowledge or skill from doing, seeing, or feeling things”

Not sure you can say that after one half of football. I have seen him when he has been disinterested and hardly involved in competitive games. The two youngsters did well while they were with us. Let’s judge him after 10 games….

Agree. Far too early to say. (But JR, the word is uninterested. Disinterested means something different. Once a teacher……)

I’ve previously railed against this use of the word “so” that people have starting to use when, usually, beginning a reply. Watched the Chase the other day and when asked what he did for a job, the contestant said “so, I’m an IT consultant”. And what would you with the money if you won? “So, I’d have a holiday if Florida”. 
 

it’s getting worse. You hear it all the time. In the pub “what’s that you’re drinking?” “So, it’s a pint of London Pride”. ?

Eh? That exchange was 7 hours ago, and it ended there. It's you that's brought it up again!

Ah but some of us have to work and can’t look at the forum constantly. So I replied as soon as I saw it

I guess so.

However, in my defense, my original post was intended in jest until you decided to jump on it with 'attitude' and then start throwing allegations around. I'll leave it at that.

You and Crewton . Children, children please stop now

Time for my semi-regular disappearance off the forum for a while, starting tomorrow. This time to pursue a business venture.

I’m taking 5/6 months away from drinking, partying and non-work-related social media to maximise the (statistically slim) chances of getting it off the ground. 

5 or 6 months not drinking! Blimey! I feel giddy at the thought. Must be a good venture. Best of luck (while I’m knocking back a Black Sheep Milk Stout - no not the stuff that little old ladies used to drink in a pub) 

A week in Valencia in September and Christmas in Gran Canaria. Oh and I’ve a speaker’s session in November in Zanzibar!

I can assure you that it is definitely pronounced 'Clowes'. Not 'Clowes', or 'Clowes'. 

Yes. Is it Clowes as in Close or Clowes as in House and is it a hard “s” as in Hose or a soft “s” as in House. Oh God I need to lie down
