Every thread is a beer thread if you are thirsty enough.

Is there ever a minute when you aren’t thirsty Eddie?

Five then?

P.S. has this now merged with the ‘Beer’ thread on the other forum?

Lancs hammer Essex by 7 wickets with more than four overs to spare.

Ex Derbyshire ‘pie chucker’ Matt Critchley went for 48 off his four overs!

Away memberships are exactly the same as "Priority Lane" at airports. No they aren't fair, but tell me something that is fair currently, (particularly for someone earning the minimum wage)?

What priority does (or used to) and away membership give (assuming no season ticket)?

Does anyone know the hierarchy based on the different permutations of season ticket/membership/number of games attended since 1972, etc?

Purely by coincidence, I emailed the ticket office earlier today requesting any information regarding the availability of away memberships, (I live closer to a lot of away grounds than to PP).

This is the verbatim response:

"Information on Memberships which give you priority on booking away tickets will be announced in due course. Please continue to check the website and social media channels for the details when confirmed."

No mention that memberships will NOT be available!

All empty rhetoric from our leaders. And putin knows it. 

Truss on the way home to "make a statement" which suggests that she might stand. 

 

She was representing the UK at a G20 meeting, so by returning early, she’s putting person ambition above the country’s interest, (as per bleeding usual).

Currently enjoying the live feed from the BBC News website. ?

I sincerely hope its Derby, but lets all have a reality check here folks. It's nothing more than 'grandstanding' from this morally bankrupt administration, (and probably to the benefit of some PR company who donates generously to the Tories).

The decision will already have been made.

So far this year I've done South of France, Sri Lanka and Paris.

To come  - Benidorm, Edinburgh (Fringe fest), North Cyprus, Majorca and Berlin 

I suppose working for Tui does have its perks?

Why couldn't they play at Chesterfield if the concert is on at Derby?

No floodlights for starters.

Although Buxton being above the Arctic Circle might have been an option?

I'd sooner play at Trent Bridge, charge fans a fiver, get a 1000 fans of Derby there.

Wash you mouth out ?

I believe you can only field 2 overseas players in a game, so in order to accommodate Cartwright, Kerr had to make way.

Can we do a ‘Zola Budd’ by telling him to donate a tenner to the Tories and give him a British passport?

‘Pritti’ll Fix It’ if you prefer?

Get in, and well done Wayne Madsen 100 not out. ?

100 up off of 9 overs, the Madsen and Masood show.

You well and truly jinxed Shan there Jimbo. ?

Getting hammered, 45/0 after 4 overs

Villa Feltrinelli at nearby Gargnano during the short-lived Repubblica di Salo after he'd been sprung from captivity by the Nazis. The villa is now a top class hotel. 

 

Just had a gander and mentioned it to Mrs Grumpy, who was very impressed and asked 'when are we going'........................ Big mistake! I should have checked-out the price first. Cheapest room is €1,450 a night with a minimum two night stay! ?

I think rosenior and Rooney did then within a few weeks I think we’ll have a DOF that will do it 

Do we really need a DOF? It’s just more drain on the payroll.

‘Bobby Charlton to take the penalty.’

Our games teacher (yes you Barry Greenwood), was a dead ringer for Brian Glover’s character in Kes. Always picked the best players for his side.

Not Brian Glover, I hope. 

With Casper in goal

Cashin news was the best of the lot
