Thousands of pasty faced gingers who've only seen three hours of sun all year will be on the lash in Miami at the end of June. There's a business opportunity for anyone with a few bottles of aftersun.
In the words of the late, great Meat Loaf, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
Mariner was at Plymouth before and after (as manager) and Mills was at Layer Road in our darkest hour.
But who was the airman? He played 294 times for the farmers.
EDIT: Despite loosing to Norway, leaving Romania one point behind us with two games in hand and Hungary two points behind with three games in hand, we still qualified thanks to Switzerland beating Romania away and drawing at home. Mick Mills was England captain in the five games at the finals. It should have been Keegan, but he was injured.
Who are the biggest nutters at the WO? The downhill, ski jump and ski-cross are all daring in the extreme, but I take my hat off to the skeleton and luge riders, they must be mental.
The flume at Leisure World used to get my heart racing, but 90mph on a glorified tea tray! I’m not sure if I’d prefer to go head first (skeleton) or feet first (luge).
I would just say that the double luge looks a bit suspect to me, you would want to be very ‘good friends’. You can definitely count me out for that one.
I did see someone suggest that they should have a luge competition ‘it’s a knockout style’ where you stack as many people on the luge as you can and the one that crosses the finish line with the most people wins. Obviously, Arthur Ellis would be there is a jacket and tie to count the number people.
This is possibly a little off-piste, but I lost my virginity in a Cortina.
I defy anyone to lay claim to being more 'Essex' than that.
EDIT: It was a MkIII 1.6XL Daytona Yellow, with black vinyl roof, spot lights, Webber carb, 8 track and whiplash aerial, she was a beauty, but I don't remember much about he girl.
Genuinely chuffed that the men’s team have made the final, best of luck for a gold, and very well done to the women’s team to get so far.
If we are giving out Olympic medals for non-athletic ‘sports’, just to appeal to us lazy armchair sportsmen, then Ronnie O’Sullivan and Luke Littler should certainly have one.
This has got me thinking. Why not revamp the whole Olympics to better match the modern world. Just image….
Hello and welcome to day two of this year’s ‘Chav’ Olympics, and just a reminder, this year…. Judo has been replaced with Bingo. Weightlifting has made way for Shoplifting and the controversial Break Dancing has been replaced with Line Dancing.
Today’s Schedule:
10:00 The USA are favorites for the mass shooting.
11:00 Jeremy Kyle will be presenting the Rowing. (No, that’s having a row, arguing, not some posh tw@ts from Oxbridge)
12:00 Outdoor swimming, watch out for Team GB in the turd lane.
13:00 Tovide will be going for another medal in the diving.
14:00 Wrestling starts with ‘Fighting for the TV Remote’.
15:00 More wrestling in the ‘Getting into a boob-tube and skinny jeans that are 3 sizes too small’.
16:00 It’s all action at the ‘toning tables’.
17:00 Shock news that Team GB have been disqualified from the Fencing. 6ft composite panels in ‘Admiral Blue’, complete with trellis, matching patio sofa and patio heaters may be OK in Chelmsford, but it’s not acceptable on the world stage.
18:00 Cycling. No surprise at GB’s latest failure in the pursuit. Once again, the GB Police have failed to catch a single bike thief.
19:00 ….and after yesterday’s shock, when the Italians pulled out after Team GB ordered an ‘Hawaiian’, it’s back to ‘Pizza Eating’.
20:00 We round off the evening with freestyle shagging, where Team Vatican are expected to withdraw at the last moment and don’t be surprised if you see the Greeks at the rear. Team GB’s B@nnie Blue is assured of a medal in the marathon.
No thread about the Olympics can be complete without the joke I first heard many years ago from Billy Connolly….
Two athletes chatting,
The first one says “are you a pole vaulter?”
The second one replies “No, I’m German, but how did you know my name was Walter?”.
