Random Irritations

[Imurg]

I do wonder if there actually is a Nigerian Prince sitting by his computer somewhere, head in hands, wailing " why doesn't anyone want my money"......

Probably getting irritated on behalf of the mods here, but it really winds me up when people reply to what are obvious spam threads. For example, someone joins the forum today and posts about a problem he has, includes a link (although not hyperlinked) to a product. This is his first post on his first day and I reported it as possible spam. The mods now have to work harder because a number of people have replied to the original post. Are these the same people who send money to Nigerian princes?

Fair play, the OP has replied to the thread so may be real

vs Leicester City 1975. What a game that was!
Strong Leicester side at the time as well. Great performance by Leatherhead.

Highlights are on YouTube - Tanners were 2-0 up and Chris Kelly missed a great chance to make it three just after half-time.

In the days of "The Leatherhead lip" ?

Yep Chris "Budgie" Kelly - that was his real nickname - it was the press who called him "The Lip" in 1975. Chris was a great non-league player and a really nice guy. He lives in France now I think. I used to play 5-a-side with his son Trevor.
I remember doing the programme for his testimonial game - wish I'd kept that one.

My Mrs just appeared with my varifocal lens glasses frame nicely snapped and lens scuffed, and blamed me for leaving them on the bed as she didn’t notice them when she tidied the bed - they fell on the floor and she stood on them. My fault of course…

Maybe I’ll make a claim on household accidental damage insurance as they cost me about £500.

Taking a wild stab here - The Mental Game thread in Ask The Experts? If it is that - and I was the first to reply - I do know a spambot when I see one, I frequently report them as well. This guy put too much effort into the post and was too coherent for it to be spam, and in addition as the thread has some merit, so a mod could simply remove the link rather than having to delete the whole post.

If it wasn't that one then ignore me.

It was that post, and yes, you are right about there being a lot of detail and no specific link - even though the site address was typed pout. Maybe I thought that they were getting cleverer

Just read what they have asked for the FA Cup. Unreal, truly unreal. I hope they get stuffed out of sight now.

Surely 'Delete Thread' works as easily with a dozen posts as it (or Delete Post) does with 1.

Your not suppose to use it. I used it once and got told off by the mods as even tho it's a feature it's not allowed to be used

I was meaning...by the Mods! I wouldn't expect to be able to delete a thread with posts by another member, so 'Delete thread' should be disabled/only work for single post threads - for non-Mods. And I didn't realise there was a 'Delete thread' function available to non-Mods.

Moving 3 other fixtures around to accommodate a request for a later kick off on Saturday from our opponents. For them to postpone because some of their players can’t play at the later time ?

Guinness basted steaks.
Guinness and beef burgers.

At the cheese counter in Waitrose. Every single portion of cheese has "Contains Milk" on it. I despair, I really do.

Received a drive off penalty for fuel from a petrol station 15 miles away, wasn't us so looks like the plates have been cloned.
Been waiting 20mins on the police chat thing to tell them. No doubt the baliffs will be here soon.
