I always forget what the thread originally meant

Autobahnmotorwayautoroute

Around the gleaming map of Europe
A gigantic wedding ring
Slowly revolves through Londonslowestberlin
Athensromemadrdidparis and home again,
Slowly revolving.

That’s no ring,
It’s the Great European Limousine,
The Famous Goldenwhite Circular Car

Slowly revolving

All the cars in Europe have been welded together
Into a…[Read more]

The Maldive Shark

About the shark, phlegmatical one,
Pale sot of the Maldive sea,
The sleek little pilot-fish, azure and slim,
How alert in attendance be.
From his saw-pit of mouth, from his charnel of maw
They have nothing of harm to dread,
But liquidly glide on his ghostly flank
Or before his Gorgonian head;
Or lurk in the port of serrated…[Read more]

The Collar

I struck the board, and cried, “No more!
I will abroad.
What! shall I ever sigh and pine?
My lines and life are free; free as the road,
Loose as the wind, as large as store.
Shall I be still in suit?
Have I no harvest but a thorn
To let me blood, and not restore
What I have lost with cordial fruit?
Sure there was wine
Before my sighs…[Read more]

‘maggie and milly and molly and may’

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while…[Read more]

It’s in the lap of the gods, although there is something about that phrase that has always bothered me.

She’s gone, Actor.

Some might say that making a thread called ‘My Last Post’ was a big giveaway. However, I have been given to understand that the shame of using a ‘rolling eyes’ emoticon was more than she could bear.

Another street-smart fish out of water just trying to survive in a world she never made…….and who else will post about…[Read more]

yeah that’s the spirit

They cut off two legs but as you say, you still got the other one.

And all your fingers for counting too

After reading Bon Bons post, I cant beleive that a person on here has bullied and threatened someone so much they felt forced to reveal the most intimate details about themselves. In this case everyone is fully aware who it was that did it, I hope that you are proud of yourself, I hope that the anguish…

You could..and at great length..but better not eh?

ok I quite like that one. It totally encapsulates everything about my life, and almost has a three-dimensional vibe.

but don’t get me started………………

Jeez so would I with a giant blonde ghost on the pitch. That’s even scarier than Martin Keown, and he doesn’t have a camera covering his whiskers.

I’d be a very quiet drummer boy wouldn’t I ? We must be one of them mime bands then.

I hope our knobs go all the way up to eleven……

can I play skinless drums ?

I nicked ’em honest I did

It’s the mindset of the modern player, and it’s encouraged by the managers.

Imagine not disputing every single decision and then having to face Fergie in the dressing room at half-time. Who must surely see it as a constant game of pressure on the officials and so condone it. Not that I’m picking on Ol’ Red Face but you get what I mean. I think…[Read more]

I remember Gordon Hill the Ref and not the Man Utd player, and Jack Taylor who gave that disputed penalty to the Dutch in the 74 World Cup Final, although as the Germans won that game he largely escaped censure. And Clive Thomas of course, he was a character.

The last manager whose teams truly respected the ref was Cloughie I think. What is the…[Read more]

the more things change, the more they remain the same huh ?

Shakespeare knew a thing or two about life, ravaged as he was in the Warwickshire cornfields by an older woman. To whom in his will he left his “second best bed” lol.

And he had a whole new language to invent and apply to these everyday events. Just because they threw this stuff at you…[Read more]

We can probably all agree that there was a lot more respect from players in the old days, grudging or otherwise, for the man in the middle.
