  1. Some cock ejected for acting like a cock.Non story.
  2. [quote user="cityangel"][quote user="Mr. Chops"][quote user="paulo79"]he is doing fine on another forum where he won''t get abused on a daily basis. I''ll pass on your regards[/quote]http://www.carrowroad.net/carrow1/index.php/topic,7599.0.htmlIt seems he holds us all in high esteem... [/quote]   I''ve just read that thread and he''s upset about a few people making fun of him being disabled. He says that hes asked Pete to delete his account but as that can''t be done he''s wiped off his avatar/signature and changed his name to a full stop, so sounds like he''s not coming back this time. Shame because I used to enjoy some of his posts and windups plus the threads he started always used to get a lot of response so I''m assuming that others enjoyed them too. Its sad when people who obviously enjoy the site feel driven away but maybe he''ll miss us and reconsider. [/quote]Oh for god''s sake spare us the melodrama.It''s a hissy fit on an intenet forum by the biggest attention whore on the Pinkun.He''ll be back inside a week and if he''s not, well everyone''s a winner.
  3. [quote user="Beauseant"]Shyster''s basic point is sound. With a lack of pace and Surman injured I''m not totally convinced that we have enoough to break down the best sides in this league. Lappin is a great pro and works his socks off, but is never going to unlock a defence with a moment of brilliance. We are still two players light in my view.[/quote]I think as long as Hoolahan stays fit we do have enough to break down the best sides more often than not. Still leaves a big problem if he does get crocked though, not an easy player to find backup for either.
  4. Bet you a quid you weren''t there today Shyster.Armchair supporters...don''t ya just love ''em? [:D]
  5. Cheddar thought it would have died a death by now, wouldn''t you?
  6. [quote user="Nexus_Canary"]Im also wondering what Einstein is gonna take my bait......[/quote]OK, I''ll bite! [:)]It is annoying, but so is digging the yanks for their rubbish lazy spelling. It''s like picking on the fat kid at school. They can''t help it and they''re not doing ay harm.To be fair, I''ve been guilty of both in the past myself (picking on yank spelling and poor grammar, not fat kids) but just like Earl, I''m trying to be a better person.
  7. [quote user="HeadofEnglish"]I have been a Norwich City supporter for 27 years.  I have read this board without posting.  I am currently Head of English Studies at one of what is said to be one of our great Universities.[/quote]I would love for that to be true but c''mon fella, you''re pulling our legs?If you really were what you say you are, your head would have exploded reading this board long before now.Innit?
  8. The earliest citation given in the Oxford English Dictionary for any word used as a name for this element is alumium, which British chemist and inventor Humphry Davy employed in 1808 for the metal he was trying to isolate electrolytically from the mineral alumina. The citation is from the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London: "Had I been so fortunate as to have obtained more certain evidences on this subject, and to have procured the metallic substances I was in search of, I should have proposed for them the names of silicium, alumium, zirconium, and glucium."[50][51] Davy settled on aluminum by the time he published his 1812 book Chemical Philosophy: "This substance appears to contain a peculiar metal, but as yet Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state, though alloys of it with other metalline substances have been procured sufficiently distinct to indicate the probable nature of alumina."[52] But the same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review, a British political-literary journal, in a review of Davy''s book, objected to aluminum and proposed the name aluminium, "for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound." *strokes beard*
  9. [quote user="ſilly ſauſage"][quote user="Nexus_Canary"][quote user="ſilly ſauſage"][quote user="Nexus_Canary"][quote user="Yellow Rose of Texas"]That''s how we spell that word here in Texas.[/quote]no thats color, armor, harbor and many other rapes of the ENGLISH language ;)Im not even gonna go near the pronunciation of Aluminium or Basil[/quote]Or the word ''gonna''.[/quote]slang you schlongI love how people have nothing better to do than scrutinize peoples posts looking for typos, slang or lack of grammar.Get a life or become a English Teacher. I spend my whole day correcting peoples errors so dont exactly give a dick about mine :)[/quote]F**k me, it''s okay for you to criticise Americanisms, then you get excited over one ''gonna'' comment.. tw@t[/quote]Quite. And he got the Aluminium one a bit wrong. I understand it was spelt (and spoken) like that here before US was even an itch in Uncle Sam''s pants. What''s up with you Nexus? I''m sure you don''t usually come across as that much of a helmet.
  10. [quote user="Thecanaryfan"]Daft question maybe but why Clint Easton? [/quote]Because he''s got a purdy mouth.
  11. In my cellar. Locked up with Clint Easton and Shaun Carey.I''m not releasing them till we''re back in the Premier League.
  12. Have to agree with Hucks.I''d rather watch darts or poker than cricket.
  13. [quote user="Brendo "]23 grand for a box? [:|] For a day? Jesus christ.[/quote]No, for a season I would imagine. Are you on drugs? [:P]
  14. [quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]The failure of Robert Chase to invest in players when he did led to Norwich dropping out of the Premier League just before the real money came in.[/quote]Spot on.That''s when the rot started. Top flight football was on the verge of a huge change and we weren''t invited to the party. Norwich City were in the nations psyche after our European adventures. The fact that Chase was unable to keep the club afloat without ripping the team to pieces says to me the club wasn''t being run well. Where was Chase''s investment? People ask why Delia and co can''t attract major investment, what about Fat Bob?The drop down to D2 was never going to be the same again once the Premiership thing happened. The difference in TV money/league payments is huge and the gulf keeps growing. It happened on Chase''s watch and I hold him accountable for that. Bad timing perhaps, but it was one gargantuan screw up.
  15. [quote user="First Wazzock"]Hell you lot are gonna cop it when Wiz ends his self imposed exile. I bet steam is coming out of his ears as I type. [/quote]Nah, that''s just his ear hair. It''s so grey and wispy it looks a bit like steam.
  16. [quote user="Cluck"]Yes indeed Tangers.......The door swung open perfectly for the re-born ''saviour''.... and like sheep her gullible followers have all but forgotten the terrible damage done during her tenure.... all on the back of a season in Division Three.[/quote]I assume by "her gullible followers" you mean the supporters who turn up to support their team on a Saturday?I''d imagine that most of them, like myself have no particular love for the majority shareholders. Most of their failings are through incompetence rather than actively seeking to fleece the club. If that was their aim, they''d be long gone by now. Things seem to be moving in the right direction, time will tell.What are we supposed to do? Not turn up and let the Barclay be taken over by the occasionally politely clapping drones that have infested the rest of the ground? That''s a whole new thread though, the reason the ground is so quiet on 3 sides now is because the working class, particularly young men have been priced out of football. I remember when the river end made noise! A generation has already been lost, with another well on the way. [quote user="Cluck"]The answer? Bring on board another luvvie to boost her ''popularity'' in media circles. You couldn''t make it up.[/quote]Assuming your deliberately belligerent assumption is correct, how does that impact on the fortunes of NCFC in any way?The way I see it we''ve got an addition to the board who is very much a Norfolk man, if not Norfolk born. From what little I know of him outside his media persona, he appears to be a decent bloke with a very British sense of fair play.Put bluntly, he ain''t about to be any part of anything that shafts the supporters. In my opinion [;)]
  17. [quote user="lappinitup"]I think Wiz is really Alan Brazil...........[/quote]Even Wiz is far too coherent even on a bad day, much as that reflects badly on the drink driving, washed up old soak of a scummer (Brazil, not Wiz!) [;)] I''d bet a quid they both smell faintly of wee though.But Wiz could be a scummer. Wrong county for a start, and he''s well old enough to have moved over the border to civilisation.
  18. [quote user="Cluck"]Equally regarding intellect... you will find those who would be described as ''academic'' are often as thick as planks when it comes to common sense. Stephen Fry is a joke in the boardroom and just another sign of how out of touch Delia Smith is with reality.[/quote]Do you know him personally? Because if not you know as much as 99.999% of people, which is sweet FA.Stating opinions as facts is poor form.
  19. [quote user="Quentin"][quote user="Shyster"][quote user="Quentin"][quote user="Shyster"][quote user="Quentin"][quote user="a1canary"][quote user="Shyster"]Never mind the BBC''s incompetent sport coverage, I''m far more disgruntled being one of the mugs who pay for this public sector, AGW fundamentalist, multiculti, troop hating, pro-terrorist, judeophobic, antichristian, PC propagandist, left-wing agitprop elitist sh*it that still fails to live in the real world.It''s high time the evil BBC was dismantled - it''s the 21st century ffs and nobody should be forced to pay for a service they do not want nor use and acts as an alternative political party paid for by the very people it clearly despises.Bastards [:@][/quote] Wow, that really is first rate nonsense! You must love Kelvin McKenzie, who is equally excercised by the evil spirits of the beeb. Kind of figures really, you and Kelvin would make quite a couple![/quote] How is it nonsense?You clearly disagree with most if not all of what I''ve stated, so the norm would be to offer your differing opinions on the subject - are you capable of doing so? Doubtful, considering you can''t even use the quote facility correctly. Anus.[/quote] Thanks, Quentin, but I''ll answer for myself if that''s okay with you? [:P][/quote] Sorry old chap, I just saw red when I read a1canary''s ignorant reply and it prompted me to answer on your behalf.[/quote] Thing is, Quentin, you replied to ''a1canary'' making it look as though you were me - you even used the word ''anus'' at the end of your post and I''m the only person here who ever uses that.I don''t mind the fact that you admire me as a poster, you''re not alone with that, but please refrain from using my material - just read and learn, but be your own person.[/quote] Yeah yeah okay shyster. Theres no need to harp on about it ffs![/quote]Yeah. he only logged onto one of his multiple accounts and accidentally replied as his alias...get over it man! [:D]
  20. Some say he doesn''t understand clouds and that his ear wax tastes like Turkish delight. All we know is, he''s called....Oh sh*t, no that''s The Stig isn''t it?
  21. [quote user="Brendo "][quote user="crafty canary"]I wouldn''t be surprised if Akinfenwa knows the inside of every kebab house between Norwich and Gillingham by the look of him. He didn''t run, he wobbled![/quote]As funny as you think you are, this was not the case. No one''s doubting he''s a huge bloke, but he moved very well or his build, and without his size, he would have a lot less to his game I would imagine.[/quote]I dunno, he looks like he could shed a couple of stone to me. He''d still be huge and would get around a bit better.He did suprise me though, wasn''t as cumbersome as he looked....like a footballer trapped in a rugby players body.
  22. [quote user="Cluck"][quote user="Herb"][quote user="Cluck"]You''re absolutely right and I would encourage my own sons to do the same given the chance. [/quote]Given the chance you ever find someone willing to procreate with you?I wouldn''t hold your breath if I were you....[/quote]I''ll make a total mess of your arse if you don''t wrap up.........[/quote]Oh I do love it when you talk dirty, chicken....[:P]
