At a guess I would say it is another sarcastic comment directed at the Commercial Dep't because of the cancellation of the music concert. What some don't appreciate is that there are plenty of instances where more experienced people have had to cancel events such as plays and concerts when ticket demand does not reach expected levels. Queens are not the first and definitely wont be the last to suffer because of this. The BoD are at least trying to bring money in from various sources in an effort to keep Season Ticket and admission prices down amongst other things, with more success than failure I would say. I wonder how many of the regulars who have a pop at the Commercial Department and BoD would be happy if these things were not tried out and the price of admission went up regularly each season.

As sorry as I am to hear of the death of Mohammad Ali, I can't help but feel the media has, once again, gone a bit OTT following the death of a "celebrity". I am old enough to remember him starting out as a boxer and he grabbed the attention of the public with not only his boxing skill but his public image and theatrical style, I'm just not sure that his sad demise merits the amount of air time and column inches it is getting.

Anyone know if Conroy or Jacobs have been offered new deals or are any other clubs showing an interest. I'm not too fussed about Conroy tbh but Jacobs might be worth another chance as he can fill in at several positions. Maybe players' holidays are hindering things being clarified.

FFS, life and soul of the party this pair. ^^^^^. I dread to think what they post on a serious thread. Grimbo, how did you get out of Tesco without the security scanner sounding if the shirt still had the tag on it?

I can see a few television screens getting booted in during the Euros with Hoddle, Ian Wright and Lee Dixon providing the "expert" analysis. What's happened to Andy Townsend? I didn't mind Andy tbh.

CJ gets on my wick when he gets knocked out of the Final round and then pulls a sarcastic face when someone gets a question wrong as if to say everyone should know that. You weren't smart enough to get to the final so you're in no position to mock others ya tube. Yes it is the lawnmower and there's no need to call someone a dick.

.... and free for old b*****ds like me with a bus pass. All over the country (Scotland anyway and Carlisle) I can go at the tax-payers expense so I'll put up with the sometimes dubious habits and behaviour of fellow passengers. Thank-you.

Missed that. Where's he off to or is he staying at Utd?

The fact that I can't post links or amusing pictures on t'interweb. (or spell properly)

^^^ The same for me apart from the very 1st Star Wars film. Also: Never read a Harry Potter book or Lord of the Rings book ('cos they're essentially children's literature) Never taken illegal drugs (alcohol on the other hand I have had plenty) Never watched morning television Never watched any of the Big Brother programmes Never chewed tobacco Never .......... (come to think of it the list could go on for pages)

When I buy 2 Thunderball lucky dips and the Thunderball number is the same on both lines. My frustration obviously subsides if that number happens to be drawn.

I'm not his biggest fan but he is a young player who will hopefully get better with experience. Some supporters seem to excuse poor performances by certain players because they are young (Pickard for example) yet Brownlie does not seem to be afforded the same luxury. I also think we have to be realistic in the type of player we can attract and afford, if the Club is working to a budget, and that will be reflected in their ability.

Tomorrow, 1st of June, is the 100th anniversary of the production of the first pressurised fire extinguisher. The wooden constructed factory that produced it was situated in Ferno, Seattle, USA. Ironically, a week after production started the factory was almost completely destroyed by fire. After a break of 2 months the production re-started in a custom-built brick factory.

Pile-bashing

I realise that my recent complaint may not be world threatening, it is petty but it annoys me and where better to express it than on this thread. There is another local chippy that I use, only as a last resort, where they serve the queue in order so even if what you want is available they won't serve you 'til you are at the head of the queue. That also annoys me. The chippy to which I originally referred isn't really busy enough to merit numbered service order but they take your order and payment as you come in. The staff then reel off the orders to the "cook" in the order they are taken. If some are ready before others then it is no great problem to let the customer in at the "sauce station" to get it. Anyway I don't want to elevate this beyond my pettiness of the situation so I'll leave it there.

People who don't stand in a proper queue at the chip shop. The usual procedure at the chippy I use is for the front end of the queue to be at the wrapping point of the counter and people lining back along the counter and round the corner (depending on how busy it is). Lately however I have noticed that some people are coming in, placing their order when asked, and then standing away from the counter against the opposite wall.(nothing to do with my personal hygiene I'm sure), other customers then come in and don't know if these people are actually in the queue or just standing back waiting on someone being served, result they either stand at the end of the fragmented queue or go to the end of the queue at the counter, which can cause ill-feeling. I've seen some people almost standing outside when there is plenty of room in the shop because people are not closing up the space in the queue. If we don't queue properly the result is pandemonium. Also, people who don't give the full list of what they want at the one time. The couple in front of me had ordered their fish suppers or whatever and paid for them, which is how it is done in this chippy. When the fish suppers were ready and wrapped they then decided that they wanted bottles of red kola, some pickled onions, various packets of different flavour crisps (which involved them having a discussion as to what flavours) and a carrier bag. They then had to pay for these additional items. They had stood about for five minutes or so waiting on their fish suppers getting cooked and they had ample opportunity to ask for these additional items during that time but that would have been too sensible.

Well it just wouldn't look right if his kilt was tied up with any other colour of tie. One must maintain standards you know.

Connolly certainly had a high turnover in players but he also unearthed a few gems in doing so, Weatherson, Bowie, Atkinson for a start. You sometimes have to dig through a lot of muck to find the odd gem. Even years before the Connolly era we got some great players from the NE of England, such as Alan Ball and Mike Barker. I think every available source should be looked at for the right type of player.

This has all the ingredients of a family sex romp, get some hidden cameras set up to share with your P & B friends.

And the bitch won't return my calls. That's the real reason I dislike him.

Matt Damon. People tell me that he has been in me good films and they may be right, but if I see his name in the leading cast list it seems to put me against watching it.

I sent off for the boxset of "The World at War" . When I watched it I thought the Germans had quite a cosy time in Occupied France. It turned out they had sent me the " 'Allo 'Allo " boxset by mistake.

Spoiler Alert. The ship reaches New York safely and the collision with the iceberg and subsequent sinking was just a dream the captain had in the shower. (He also had a w**k but that's edited out)

You are now officially teuchters. Seriously tho', it is a strange decision and you have every right to feel angry. Couldn't they have used the same geographical positions that they base the Challenge "Petrofac" Cup on? Obviously there are Premiership teams in the League Cup which may make the numbers in the geographical groups a bit difficult to sort out but this decision does seem a bit odd. The "seeding" format has obviously worked against you also.

At least the referee might think twice before booking him. It sound like a name that an avid fan might call their wean when it's christened.
