  1. The saying " north of Watford " actually refers to the Watford Gap Services which is about junction 17 of the M1 round Rugby way.....as opposed to Watford in Hertfordshire. Personally id say anything below Luton is south and anything above about Derby is north....the rest are in no mans land
  2. How about replacing the word " naughty " with the word " different "...... From what im told a good German Shepherd or Rott are as good as it gets.......but i guess folk fall for the grass is always greener mentality....and of course the fashion factor comes into play with most " big nasty dog owners "....and German Shepherd/Rotts are just not fashionable enough these days.
  3. I reckon its probably fair to say that traditionally you northerners do have the upper hand in the hunting stakes.....i mean being up to your knees in filth muck and shit certainly comes more natural to yous up there so only fair to give way to your superiority,and of course those big hairy tattooed bikers drinking big tough REAL ALE are way too formidable to us softies down here....... And as for the men up there,well apparently they are even worse ! .....so best we keep a low profile from the big tough northerners.
  4. Been to a lot of the greek islands,stayed up the road in Heraklion about 5 years ago went into Hersonissos a few times,its more known for the night life around the harbour.Foods lovely same as most of the islands.I do remember a really nice little family run zoo type place called aquahills or aqualife something along those lines....try and go there it was a nice day all the animals are well cared for and the family walk around with you telling stories etc. Dont know if you still can but we took a small boat over to a beautiful little island called Dia,its deserted but great scenery if that
  5. Couldnt agree with that...Ronaldo is and has been alongside Messi the worlds greatest player for the past 3 or 4 years....a tremendous athlete with a good fitness record playing consistently well... How can that make him worth less than a player who on his day is certainly one of the worlds great strikers but those days are few and far between even when fit which isnt often.... Some players just never return to what they once showed,Michael Owen is a great example of this....Liverpool should cash in while he,s still worth good money.
  6. According to FIFA....any official in a premier league game must have passed the standard referees test.....for a person to do a line they have to have passed the referees test..... I was surprised to hear exactly what this involved.....its no walk in the park for a man let alone a woman.....i dont know the exact ins and outs i just remember listening to all the fitness tests they have to pass and thinking This tells a little bit more. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_united/article6871948.ece This one gives a better idea http://en.uefa.com/tr
  7. See this is where i dont buy it......any sport or job that involves physical strength/fitness is not going to be done as well by a woman as it is a man.....thats just nature im afraid,but in these equality obssessed times we have to compromise and pretend that women are equal...... Like when you see 2 x 15 stone fireman lifting bodies out of a burning building....or is 2 x 10 stone women better to give some equality ? 2 x big strong coppers running after a big black mugger.....or is 2 x little wpc,s better to give some equality..... Its a complete compromise on efficiency just to sat
  8. I agree about Lawrenson,Hansen is good,Shearer just dont seem to have enough about him in my opinion....from what im told Andy Gray is very well respected within the game,by players/managers etc on his knowledge of the game and his tactical awareness etc.....he also comes across well and has a good energy about him which of course is important when your in front of a tv camera....so why you wouldnt like him beats me but yes its all opinions and thats how sport should be.... All i dont like is when a man loses his job and gets tagged with the sort of shit Andy Gray is now going to get over
  9. So your issue is not with Andy Gray being sexist at all.....your issue is with their being sports pundits during and after sport ...well like i said,if you dont like the way the programmes are set out dont watch them....if you watch the game then turn over what do you care whats said on a program you are no longer watching By the sound of it all your interested in is the game itself which i am in total agreement with,only i do like to listen to the punditry for the reasons i stated.....the way i see it neither you or i should be in the slightest bit bothered whether Andy Gray flirts
  10. Then dont pay for it then,simple !.....You dont want punditry....i do....plenty of other folk do....i want to here what folk who have competed at the highest level have to say about it,i couldnt really care less if they are nice guys,if they eat with their mouth shut or are advocates for womens lib.....its their views on football i care about,the thing they are getting paid for and my reason for watching them ! Role models .....if you think Andy Gray making a rude comment about a bird or Richard Keys trying to be " down with the lads " ( when the camera IS NOT running )is some terrible
  11. No wrong,the subject is football,the channel is sky SPORTS not sky sexism......if people were as obssessed about sport as they are about noncey soppy remarks about whos slipping into who or who has offended who todays world of sport would be a far better place !
  12. So you dont believe he understands football ? thats his job,thats what he gets paid to talk about,football.....so you dont like how much he gets paid,tough !....you dont like what he does off screen....whats it got to do with you... Unfortunately society today is more interested in what our sports and tv personalities do away from the camera rather than what they do in front of it....and thats the major issue and the main downfall of English sport in general today.
  13. You are the precise sort of person that does my swede in !......why would somebody who thinks a subjects shit,have no interest in a subject.....have any view whatsoever about that subject I have absolutely no interest in Ice Skating.....hence, i have no views on it !.....some folk make me laugh with their big strong opinions when something like this happens when for the other 364 days of the year they have no interest.
  14. So what do you want the prediction of games before they happen !!....the man played at the highest level,and didnt go into management,but judging by some of the useless prats who call themself managers would do a far better job than some.....so Ron Atkinson called someone a wog,Andy Gray flirted with a bird,big f****n deal !.....maybe get a non offensive robot to do the punditry in future eh.....that will make fun viewing ! He was a normal everyday mush who loved the game same as you or me,who gives a toss whether he,s a nice man or a stand up guy i couldnt care less personally as long as he
  15. He only said what 95% of other men who watch football would say...unfortunately its the other 5% who run the game......as for the other buiseness in the studio,if a woman wants to come into the mens workplace to work then take what go,s with it....or dont work there !....imagine a bloke walking onto the set of that Loose Women nonsense and moaning about them being sexist,he would be laughed at....complete load of new age bollocks if you ask me.
  16. Is there anything a man can keep just for himself anymore.....what the f**k do birds want with football anyway f**k off and let a man have something just for himself !! I cannot believe Andy Gray has been sacked for such a silly piddly little thing as this....He is an excellent football pundit and knows the game inside out,been doing the job years.....yet has been instantly sacked over such a nothing incident......it is a good example of just how pathetically weak our society has become.....racism,sexism.......everything but f****n stupidism !! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/
  17. yeah he,s a good boy scott parker,too good for us at the moment.....i thought that was bollocks Piquionne getting sent off for that.....im sure it didnt turn the game though like my pals said ....was our part of the ground full ? i dont know how many we took
  18. No i been abroad the last few days mate.....we was a bit unlucky from what im told....still considering how we usually get smacked up your place i,ll settle for a draw.....did you go yourself ?
  19. Blimey am i the only true blue left around here !!....my lot are pure English,infact the only relation from outside East London is a long lost great grand parent who was from Northumberland.... So......im English
  20. You gotta hand it to them yanks they dont f**k about when it comes to sentancing do they .....if that was here she would have got fined for keeping an american pit bull terrier never mind hanging the poor dog.
  21. Tony " how do you want the pedigree written out " Lee ....havent spoke to him for years but im sure he would see the funny side.... Shame, RIP...thoughts and best wishes to his loved ones.
  22. Feel a bit of a big girls blouse saying it but i liked that film Big Daddy,that tickled me Also.......Please Sir
  23. Went to Olu Deniz in Turkey years ago,lovely beech but not much else to praise....in fairness im told Gold City is the better part i just didnt know about it back then as i think its only become popular recently been a lot of developing there its near Alanya if im not wrong which is nice...Turkeys a cheap place in general,not the cleanest place and the people are none too friendly....but like i say Gold City is now the better part im told so you should have a nice time.

    Guard dogs

    Never had a guard dog myself but in my opinion a " watch " dog has far more value than a " guard " dog.......very few potential burglars are going to break into a house with noise coming from it......a dog yapping its little heart out will stop most burglars coming in,a silent dog who will rip a burglars throat out is going to cost you at least the price of a window/lock/....prevention better than cure in my book.
