"...the now 101-year-old has been to almost every home match since the end of the Second World War.

Speaking when celebrating his 100th birthday in 2017, he said: “There is no secret to old age just luck and kindness.

"If you are kind and nice to people, most people will be nice back to you and that’s how I live my life.”

Utterly refreshing

 

Nowadays you have this "nice guys finish last" ******** that gets branded around, which just turns the world into a bunch of people who want to be manipulative twits

To hear Frasier is pretty much confirmed to return next year with the remaining original cast.

Be sad that Martin cant appear but hopefully they will deal with this in a funny but sympathetic way.

Walked past them for a few weeks in the shops but today could not resist any longer. Mince pies, Aldi specialled selected all butter classic, only the best will do. Poke a whole in it drip feed a bit of rhum/cognac a few minutes in the oven a dollop of Vanilla ice cream, heaven on a plate. How many sleep till Xmas ?

Already partaken of one or two box fulls, very nice pies. The salted caramel ones are good

Winning a set of darts (RRP £54.95, and the top prize on offer) simply by posting a comment on the companies Facebook page during their product launch last week.

I'd actually already bought a set before I won one, they were delivered this morning so soon I'll have 2 sets of these beauties!

This is great. 

Apparently loads of bots scour Twitter for people saying "I'd love that on a t-shirt" and then spam them with print on demand offers for the t-shirt

Which is all well and good until people start to think up ways to out-do the bots

This isn’t exactly cheery, but it’s beautiful.

Regardless of race, birthplaces and skin colour, that would still be beautiful, in fairness.

But given the trials and challenges those two would have gone through as they started out together, and presumably more so as they expanded their family, shows that true love really is out there, and it can overcome pretty much anything, if you stay strong together!

Nice story.  

 

 

EDIT:
Oh... and from a personal point of view... perhaps I should be more open about my own marriage, and not worry about what other people think of my missus... after all, she can't help having been born in No**ingham!  ;-)

Love this.

We have a fan in Korea who's really active on Twitter. He has a really good knowledge of the club, including its history, and he's even learning how to properly swear in English! He's brilliant and he's going to come over when he finishes school.

Still cutting it a bit fine for Kick Off though, isn't he?  What time does he finish?  3:30?
