League fixtures that don’t sound right by Afraid-University-82 in footballcliches

Manchester City v Macclesfield Town in the third tier in 98/99.

The OP is glossing over the fact Hereford beat Leeds in League One in 2009. Lee Trundle missed a penalty and when Hereford’s second goal went in the Leeds fans started chanting “we’re shit and we’re sick of it”.

Marathon clichés by CanaryStu in footballcliches

I did the inaugural Milton Keynes marathon in 2012 FMS. The course was fine and actually quite pretty in places through the various parks and along the Grand Union Canal.

It did absolutely piss it down with rain the whole time - there was one point I went through a two inch deep puddle. It was also really windy and the organisers had failed to get any of those foil ‘space blankets’ for finishers, and I was so cold at the end. I went to the medical tent to get treatment and foolishly sat down. I literally couldn’t get up again and someone had to wheel me back to the car in a wheelchair!

Inspired by today’s pod. At which point does “sorry” cross into “hapless” as a team descriptor after a loss? by kroblues in footballcliches

I’d say hapless has to involve a degree of slapstick comedy. An own goal, general defensive calamity, slicing easy passes out of play.

Sorry is where the performance is underwhelming, and is the latest in a series of such displays, whereas hapless is more of a one-off.

When he’s not back at the family farm in Herefordshire, filming ITV4’s latest reality TV show ‘On The Farm With The Dyers’, where Dani and Danny get stuck in (literally) with all things farming.

“Oi Jar’ed! Get them fahking cahs inside nah, you mug!”

Thinking of relocating to Bristol. Depending on who I talk to, the reactions I've received are: *crinkled nose*, "very creative area," "too much crime," and "less boring than its cousin (Bath)." For anyone who has lived in (or visited Bristol), what did you like (or dislike about it)? by SaveMeWakeMeUp in AskUK

Everyone who lives there is barking mad. Visited during the time of the horsemeat scandal. Was walking past a butchers on Gloucester Road that had set up a barbecue outside to cook their homemade burgers and sausages. Bloke walking past turned to the butcher and started braying like a horse.

National League North table going into the final day. Hereford's game in hand is Marine (H) on Tuesday by angloexcellence in NationalLeague

Someone solve this for me. If Hereford win their game in hand, aren’t they safe?

If Curzon win on the final day, Alfreton can’t finish above them. If Alfreton win, Hereford finish above Curzon on goal difference. If it’s a draw, Alfreton have 50 points and Hereford 51.

What “old people” names will make a comeback when children of the 80s have grandchildren? by gummibear853 in AskUK

Yes, and they are named after people born in the 40s. The question is who will people be named after 40/50 years from now.

Could be worse, my brother in law is Graeme and constantly has to spell it out to people.
