Fry and Smith A' Listers?

[quote user="CambridgeCanary"]I didn''t notice many people laughing at us at Scunthorpe.[/quote]

With a crowd that size you could have asked them all.

Perhaps.

If we are a laughing stock, who precisely is laughing?

ABC or D list isn''t I guess the real issue at all here is it? It''s investment, the old queen bee will never sell the club in her lifetime (I''ve come to accept that horrible truth) so she''s saying Fry''s contacts will give us charity effectively.

I seriously doubt any truth of it myself, its just appears to be a PR stunt by both of them imo, and the club, whilst screaming out for cash, won''t see a penny raised via Fry''s well meaning antics.

[/quote]As clear a statement of fact as you will ever read on here...... Fry fits perfectly into Delia''s little jigsaw puzzle. Ed Balls would be there also but for the fact that he is a total tw@t. She has... and continues to turn our once proud club into a laughing stock.[/quote]

From a cook a total Fry up then Cluck.

Don''t hear many laughing, though that''s odd considering what an A list comic he is. Mostly, other than in Norfolk, total indifference it would appear.

One of our greatest comedians was Eric Morecambe who was a director of Luton Town FC.

All that got them was the extraction of the wee wee and little else!

Erm, didn''t Luton get promoted to the top division whilst Eric Morecombe was chairman? Doesn''t that count?

Luton were a first division side before Eric got involved.

They knocked us out of the cup in 59 as a first division side.

[/quote]To compare Eric Morcambe with Stephen Fry is a little bit extreme.... besides which they were very different days.  I would say Danny LaRue would make a more suitable comparison if we are to go down that route....

Fry only has a sore bottom to contend with.

I won''t attempt to challenge your undoubted knowledge of grannies and their sucking habits - but what I do know is that Nelson never wore an eye patch, as anyone from Norfolk would know.

Nelson wore a patch because he was trying to give up smoking.

And younger posters on here with an A* in History probably think Cluck is being overly familiar with Mr. Mandela.

"Find some serious research material."durrrrrrrthe onus is one those making the claimso let''s see any evidence that Nelson wore an eye patch (other than your ever fanciful imagination)

[The Butler 0]

The myth

Admiral Nelson wore a patch over his right eye-socket, to hide the disfi gured (or missing) eyeball.

The “truth”

Nelson never wore an eye-patch. The nearest he came to it was a peaked eye-shade which he had built onto his naval hat, but that was there to protect his good eye from the sun, not to hide his bad eye. Horatio was awarded a disability allowance for his missing right arm (mislaid during the battle of Santa Cruz), but the Navy refused him one for his blinded eye, because their doctors couldn’t tell whether it was genuinely sightless. In other words, Nelson had no need to wear an eye-patch, because there was no disfigurement to hide. Have a look at Nelson’s Column: no eyepatch. There are no patches, either, on any portrait made during his lifetime. The little black number seems to have been invented in the mid-19th century, perhaps to accentuate the great man’s disabilities, and therefore his heroism. The image was cemented in 1941, when Laurence Olivier played a patched-up Nelson in the film That Hamilton Woman.
