Turk Thrust

I’m a 10% man, in cash. I tip when eating out, or in taxis

Good luck. I moved to London back in 1983 and now live in Woodford Green, NE London on the Central Line. We’ll no doubt be meeting up later.

I have a gut feeling about this

Hopefully you’ll have the added bonus of seeing the red dogs get humiliated.

Goes without saying. I’ll pencil in that game especially

I was a STH at the BBG for many many years but now I’m old and live in east London I won’t be getting a ST. I will however go to quite a few away games in the south. But I will renew my West Ham ST.  It’s  4 tube stops away and £160 for over 65s and I get see the likes of Liverpool and Man City etc while constantly checking my phone for Derby updates

I used to work at a now defunct bank and we had a list of funny names we used to update and send round, and we wonder why it no longer exists.

The only two I really remember was:

Cleveland Beavers, hardly funny 

And

Mustapha Schitt, which was bloody hilarious.

 

I used to work with a woman called Catherine Kinghorn.  She had a brother but what were the parents thinking when they named him? His name is Ivor

Exactly. Who would leave motions at the front door. Filthy swine!

We did indeed. So long to nod off though. Was so excited about reading the posts when people first signed on this morning was really surprised by all the negativity

I’m not surprised really given all that’s happened over the last 8 months, all the false hopes, and the fact that it is all still conditional on PP. 

This whole sorry saga feels like a “death by a thousand cuts” (for those of you who don’t know, this refers to a form of torture used in China up until the practice ended around the early 1900s. It was also used in Vietnam and Korea. In this form of execution, a knife was used to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time, eventually resulting in agonising death.). Oo-er.

Awful example. 

It is impossible for us to win the Premiership in two years time. 

Hope that line is struck from the record.

We couldn’t anyway because it was last called the Premiership in 2008 ?

This is just for the football club business, add another £200k spread across the academy, stadia, Club DCFC, Sevco and Gellaw businesses. Then add up all the expenses, nearly £34k on accommodation for example just for the football club business. In other Sevco business they're even claiming 85p on a stamp and 50p on stationary. 

 

I fear my little joke-ette about standing still hasn’t worked because you’ve done it again ?

There was a bill estimate in the last statement of affairs or whatever it's called on companies house. If I recall correctly it was £350 an hour for junior administrators, £450 for administrators and £650 a hour for senior administrators. Expenses claimed for travel, accommodation, food, stationary, vehicles, even down to the £3 meal deals. 

Is that for standing still?

66 years of living in Derby aint done me know harm 

Huh a mere kid. Wait till you’re my vast age though I left the Motherland in 1975 for firstly Brum and then that London where I now live.

Not fell off my wall yet.

 

 

Come on Unlucky Alf. You surely know that the formation for the past perfect tense is sub + auxiliary (had) + past particle (fallen and not fell)

Fall is present .

Fell is past.

Fallen is the past participle. So it should be “it hasn’t fallen off my wall yet” . Right I’ll go and lie down in a darkened room now.

I presume they still had to pay for it.

Construction began in January 2000 specifically for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The stadium was designed by Arup and built by John Laing. The stadium cost about £110 million. £77 million of that was paid by Sports England and the rest was paid for by Manchester City Council

What is your...

- Grandad’s Team - Derby
- Dad’s Team - Derby
- Mum’s Team - didnt have one 

- Everyone at your school's Team - Derby

- Your local Team now - Leyton Orient and West Ham

- my neighbour’s Team - Dover

- My nephews’ Team(s) - Hamburg, St Pauli and Werder Bremen

Manchester City council own the Etihad stadium.

Yes but that is different. Wasn’t the stadium built for the Council, specifically to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and afterwards leased to Citeh
