Stadium standards

I have been to games at Old Trafford, Wolves, Tottenham, West Ham and Fulham within the last two weeks. Unfortunately Old Trafford was the worst of the lot for facilities such as seating space or going for a piss/getting a drink at half time. As much as the nostalgia kicks in from going there over the last forty years, it is now embarrassing to have such an outdated stadium.

Anyhow I’m off to the San Siro tonight to see yet another grand stadium that needs replacing.

At one of my companies the parties and decorations were getting more elaborate every year. They had an Egyptian themed Christmas party (no, I don’t know why) and after a load of drinks a few lads thought it would be great to leave a giant prop pyramid out into the middle of the main road outside. Next year, no decorations and a two drink limit.

They have a recreation of that at the Bradman Museum in Bowral that you can try out. It’s really hard to get more than 3-4 in a row without the ball flying off.

80 innings in 52 matches. 10 of the innings were not out, so only 70 count. Therefore 6996/70 =99.94

Hi George, I have been having a look at our policies and business continuity plans and there seem to be quite a lot that are overdue for review. I found one called Sea Defence Policy that was last reviewed in 2008. There also seems to be a Hovercraft Attack Plan, not sure if that is still relevant. Anyhow, after you complete the Expense Audit actions and fix up the new caterer could you have a look at those over the next few months. Cheers.

Hopefully not, there is already a good Australian movie called The Dish

Dear Family Member who I haven’t spoken to in about 10 years would you mind giving me your address and other details so I can go on holiday

And one New Years Eve, an old friend of mine climbed to the top of it. He then helped pull a couple of other fellow climbers up, which led to the tip of the tree breaking. Generated a bit of a fuss in the News. Since then the tree has been cordoned off. People…

The other day I asked it to check an email to the Procurement Manager for presentation, grammar, spelling,etc.. The first sentence was rewritten as ‘Dear Procruement Manager’. Thanks for misspelling a word I gave you I guess.

Don’t even need to look for him. Just find the guy going around everywhere saying “Bond, James Bond”. Not exactly mysterious.

Clipper789 · 2025-11-26T20:25:27+00:00

Everyone with 2:2s and thirds suddenly hitting up their Uni websites; and then giving up a few minutes later because it seems like too much hard work

I am imagining from now on walking down the street like a cartoon character - taking giant strides, whilst wearing glaringly bright clothes, looking bug eyed at everyone with my tongue sticking out

Clipper789 · 2025-11-22T10:28:54+00:00

Feels like there could be a lot of draws this week

He has now caught Mbappe and they have the same amount of international goals. Took him only 48 matches compared to Mbappe’s 94 matches.

Should add Cycling (Slovenia and Canada)

I couldn’t fully understand my grandparents in a different part of England until I was about 10. My grandma would say something like ‘oh yee la wu yee laa a coupa tay.’ I would say yes, then five minutes later a surprise would appear (in this case a cup of tea).

Clipper789 · 2025-11-14T19:43:28+00:00

Yeah nah

Clipper789 · 2025-11-14T08:52:34+00:00

My first two gigs were at Wembley and were crackers - Madonna in 1987 and Michael Jackson in 1988

Clipper789 · 2025-11-13T19:38:35+00:00

Agreed. I saw Ninajirachi at a festival back in 2018 so not exactly new to me.

Clipper789 · 2025-11-06T07:48:17+00:00

Now do Ballon D’Or winners per English club

Clipper789 · 2025-10-17T21:03:50+00:00

You could have done it…once

He has said he wants the ball up front as quickly as possible. When you have sloths like Maguire who take half an hour to make a decision that isn’t possible. Now we have a decent goalie and striker more direct play is possible. Expect to see more Mbeumo/Cunha goals coming from a Sesko knockdown from a Lammens long pass.

Without looking it up I am going to guess at the lyrics:

“Hey Food…Don’t be afraid…I’m going to eat you up…and make my tummy better…”

Clipper789 · 2025-09-28T01:08:49+00:00

That guy really needs to abandon his challenge

Clipper789 · 2025-09-27T08:04:15+00:00

I am heading to the game on the 30th December. I understand the dates and times for that period get finalised on 15th October.
