I'm not 78 that's Turk Thrust ??I'm 66, I was always led to believe that the ground that Olive Eden was built on was owned by Olive Eden, Rupert Road is just off Wood Road an old playground of ours, Across the road was Lennox the DIY store where in the 60s I had to get a gallon of paraffin from the machine outside the shop...Esso Blue ?, A shilling(5p)a gallon, Dad would fill the heater and we'd all have headaches from the fumes...all because we'd ran out of coal ? 

I’m 76! I also lived in Chaddesden but in the more salubrious area of Valley Road.

Following in Matt's footprints.

A carbon copy 

I remember him mainly because both Carbone and Carbonari played for us in 2001, just 3 years after Matt Carbon left. Spooky or what……?

Whippersnapper!

 

 

*I turned 60 last month.  I've been dying to say that to someone for 4 weeks now.  You're the first.  Thanks!  ?

I’m 78 next year. You’re all whippersnappers to me

Class tells. WHU might be crap in the Premier League but their multi million pound players are just too good for us

West Ham fans pay actual money to watch their lot play? Souless team. 

I pay £170 for a ST there but then I go to watch the other teams

They’ve not really. 

Well I’m a STH at WHU and I think it’s a pretty strong side. Bowen is the one to watch.

We always met in the late60s/70s at the Vine in Whitaker street. (Now long gone)The landlord liked a drink or three and I can remember going there once when he had a badly bruised and bloodied face. He had fallen down the steps to the basement.

nice memories of old friends who I have totally lost touch with alas.

I have been wrong many times before.

Fixed it for you

Went to the Everton match today. Everton were really poor. Got to be relegated and I can’t see them doing well in the Championship either.  Lampard needs to go, but who would replace him?  Mind you, West Ham weren’t much better. 

Salt beef, gherkin and French mustard. Ooh I’m salivating at the thought

That's Virgin on the ridiculous 

Isn’t that a clown giving a piggy back ride to a nun?

I’m going to the West Ham v Everton match tomorrow. The Irons (when did they stop being called the Hammers?) have been really poor recently but I expect a 1-1 draw and Frank to be gone.

How has a 24 year old ended up with the name Barry? 

Yes interesting how names become unfashionable and date people. My name’s Colin and in Junior school in the early 50s half the class were called Colin. (Though mine’’s got two “l’s”). And Darren only became popular with the character called Darren Stephens in the 60s TV sitcom Bewitched. Not much used now.   Barry which could be a shortening of Bartholomew, or from a Gaelic name, used to be popular but in 2021 only 1 in 15,377 baby boys were called Barry. OK lecture over, back on thread………

Can't expect the atmosphere to be great when the weather's a bit chilli.

Oh no, it’s thyme to stop these spice puns. I’ve cinnamon all before

Great. I’m a STH at West Ham (because I live nearby) and they’ve been really poor this season. Rice has been very bad. There for the taking at PP I think.

Shouldn't March be the anniversary of the March instead of January?

It may be, oh perhaps it should be May

What’s with this “of” instead of “have”.  A lot of our posters do it. Must of, could of, should of, might of etc etc. it’s one thing saying it, but to actually write it?   

I’ve carried out training in Qatar in several occasions, mainly for officials of government departments and the petrol industry. But only once or twice have I met a Qatari who are very much in the minority. Nearly everyone I’ve trained have been Indians who seem to run the administrative elements. I have seen lots of Saudis who fill the hotel restaurants in the evenings, coming over to see their mistresses and drink lager, then go back over the border in their Range Rovers.  Qatar generally is like a mini Dubai. I much prefer Oman.
