Miss Jane Marple

My dear Striker, are you saying a national newspaper would never print anything that was incorrect?

Adam Faith was a very nice man. His grand-daughter is also charming. Although it is many years since I saw her with him, for obvious reasons.

[quote user="Matt Juler"]I normally try to get to a non-league game, but I think I''d better turn up for my 3pm wedding this Saturday instead! Obviously planned 18 months ago to fall on International weekend. [/quote]   My dear Matt, many felicitations on your impending wedding. How nice to hear of a young couple entering into matrimony. May you be very happy together.     

[quote user="Herman "][quote user="Miss Jane Marple"] The topic of this over-exposed book appears to be quite contentious.   I much prefer a good old-fashioned murder, my dears. [/quote] Rather agree.I tend to be an old prude when it comes to sex in books*.Most of it is unnecessary,and most of it is poorly written. *Much rather watch it[:D] [/quote]   It sounds like you need a modern woman in your life to tend to your needs, once you have proposed and then married the lucky girl of course, my dear Herman

[quote user="Wiz"] [quote user="BWs Cat"]So now wiz you have taken to using supernatural threats? And I dare say with my genetic jackpot I think I have already recieved my karma in advance.[/quote]   Not a threat,  just an observation.   But its something I recall from years ago, and I still feel uneasy recanting it. [/quote]   My dear Wiz. I quite understand what you mean about people getting their just deserts.    I recall a story of a rather nasty man who used to knock his wife about when he lived in Yorkshire, as told to me by my dear friend, James Herriott. The man concerned was said to have no feelings by his wife but when he needed a tetnus injection, the doctor was none too gentle and rammed it into his flabby backside (the doctor''s words), exclaiming that he clearly had feelings judging by the way he yelled in pain when the needle went in. No less than he deserved. Wickedness should never be tolerated and that husband was wicked.

[quote user="PurpleCanary"] [quote user="ROBFLECK"]Ricardo, could you give us a report of the forum please... Your reports after the game are a good read, so wouldn''t mind one after the forum... Can''t make it myself so wouldn''t mind some feedback guys... I just hope it aren''t the usual standard, evasive answers..."we''re gonna do everything we can, etc..." Thanks in advance Rob[/quote]   It is not worth a specific question, but if there is a mention of when the 2012 accounts are going to be published that would be useful for myelf and the other Fag Packets.[8-|] Thanks in advance.   [/quote]   I understand, my dear PurpleCanary, that they were due at the end of October in readiness for the AGM in Novermber.    

A good armchair assists with good posture, my dears, whilst you''re listening to the match on BBC Radio Norfolk and sipping a cup of Earl Grey.

[quote user="Pudd"][quote user="City1st"]City would lose £1.4m in gate income from lost capacity while building work was in progress and it would take nine years to pay back the building cost[/quote] I''m really in two minds over this. The demand is clear - we regularly filled the stadium when in the third tier, but now it''s a closed shop... we''re at capacity and that means no room for youngsters to get season tickets when they''re getting into football etc.... We all know from experience that following football is addictive. While the ground remains full to capacity, and virtually impossible for new supporters to come along, less people will have the exposure to the live football which may get them hooked. Also, I''m not sure those figures account for knock on increased revenues... larger crowds means more valuable sponsorship opportunities, more teas, beers and pies sold at half time, more shirts being sold, and therefore more yellow and green in town promoting the club further. On the other hand, we also saw the damage that investing in bricks and mortar did when the team really needed that investment in the past. As much as I''d like the club to have a 35,000 seater stadium (which I think is about the right size for us), I''m swaying towards thinking it''s still a few years away from being the right move overall. JP[/quote] With factors such as the demise of FONCY, the withdrawing of NCFC from its previous incarnation as a family-friendly club, the CEO keeping his cards close to his chest and the further economic turmoil the country finds itself in, my dear Pudd, I fear that should relegation become apparent in the not too distant future then things may not be quite as rosy in the garden. I foresee more fans being ousted out from being a season ticket holder by the simple fact of not enough money to renew encompassed by the above factors.

[quote user="PurpleCanary"]Congratulations to everyone involved in this over the years. A fantastic effort.[/quote]   Well said my dear Purple Canary. It is clear many City fans have donated to this worthy cause over the years since its formation.

[quote user="Shaker Maker"]He''s still here.Come on Holty... you can fix this. [/quote]My dear Shaker Maker, I think you will find it is Bob the Builder who fixes things not Grant Holt.

[quote user="Canarygeorge"]By the way, Declan Rudd & Korey Smith were both born on the same day, 16-01-1991. They could be twins! ok, ok, i know, only joking.[/quote]My dear Canarygeorge, many a true word is oft spoken in jest. Whilst being extremely unlikely in this particular case, it is possible, albeit mathematically nearer zero than one according to the laws of probability, for twins to be born of different colours.There was a story in the press over the last couple of years where a mother gave birth to twins, one white and one black. It transpired there was negro blood in her family from several generations previously which was hitherto unknown.

There was me thinking that you had started an off-topic thread about that dear boy, Cliff Richard. He has such a nice voice and I believe he''s still quite popular.

The extra hair will keep you warm then my dear ... and Smith must score

I agree my dear lake district canary. It is like a romance that has reached its conclusion and one person cannot bear to let go and move on: that person being Archant. To continually hark back is painful and almost as if the pain proves they still have feelings.

What about that nice Captain Canary my dears?

Well, my dear H4H. The squad could eat up their greens to boost their iron intake and there are always dietary supplements too.

The books Mrs Christie wrote with me in are vey good.Then again, I am biased.

I am sure both Joanna Trollope and Anthony Trollope could write best-selling novels with the gossip that''s been abounding on here recently.

Who is Kinsella dear?

[quote user="kick it off"]This is the one thing that shames me about being Polish. I forget who said it was more of a problem in Poland than the Ukraine, but I disagree with this - it is a problem of all the former Soviet states in Eastern Europe equally, and I think you will find this when you go over to Ukraine. There is no hiding the fact that this goes on and it is utterly abhorrent and I condemn it 100%. I can only hope that having the Euros will help further intercultural relations in Poland but I fear we may see some ugly scenes, that is my one great worry about us being the host nation. Poland have recently had a black (Nigerian) Centre Forward (Emmanuel Olisadebe) and a "naturalised" Brazilian (Roger Guerrerio) playing for the national team and a significant proportion of the fanbase accepted them, but there were signs saying "Roger: You''ll never be Polish" and similar at several games. It is a real problem of the former Soviet block who never really experienced the levels of migration that other countries did. This should in no way be interpreted as an excuse, just simply a statement of fact. There is something like 2000 different Neo-Nazi Skinhead gangs in Russia and there are plenty in Poland and Ukraine too, although i don''t have figures for this. Stupid as Poland is a nation which lost 6 million people to the nazis and suffered horrendously, you think that the Polish people would have some sort of conscience about racism.[/quote]I have to agree with you, my dear. The Bulgarians have a rather big problem with the Roma.

My dears, I am reminded of this pertinent saying:When you point the finger there are three fingers pointing back at you. I would say this means those people who are fond of pointing out flaws in other people do so because they really have flaws themselves and don''t like them. A lot of people who put others down do it to make themselves feel better.A tragic event that serves to remind those of you still working that you are only a pay day away from financial trouble.

[quote user="Yellowbeagle"]She''ll get over it. Important lesson for any child and some adults, players leave football clubs! [/quote]Some very sound advice from you, my dear Yellowbeagle.
