I think I was there on Brunshaw Rd. Probably 1990 and three or four hundred of us. IIRC, people chanted 'Casper Out, Teasdale Out' for half an hour or so.

You ruined my enjoyment of the pea soup

I was in hospitality for one of the matches. In the Bob Lord stand of course as the Bee Hole end wasn't known for its gourmet lunches at the time. 😉 Afterwards I opened the curtains onto Brunshaw Rd to be faced with a baying mob gesticulating at me 😲 Quickly closed said curtains and skulked back to ...

The rating has little bearing, if any, on the flavour of the curry. Does it affect the taste if the kitchen is dirty or the staff have poor hygiene practices? Probably not My personal minimum rating is 4, but each to their own. If there's no rating displayed with pride then smell a rat, which may we...

Cheers. Got distracted thinking of those Crunches

Creme Egg Twisted 8
Wispa 7
Crunchie 7
Dairy Milk 7
Dairy Milk Caramel 7
Twirl 2
Double Decker 8
Fudge Finger 6
Chocolate Eclair 6

In my experience there's pretty much no difference, in terms of graphics and performance, between the latest X Box and the PS5. Some games are exclusive to each platform though so check if there's a particular game you like the look of to make sure it's available for your chosen platform. I went for...

Excalibur (a King Arthur film) not "The Exorcist"

How the hell did I translate Excalibur into The Exorcist?

That's skim reading at its finest

I blame the Christmas fog

And the eggnog

It is used in "The Omen" its also in "Excalibur" too

Been a while since I saw the Exorcist, so have to trust you on that one, but I watched The Omen just a couple of weeks ago and O Fortuna doesn't feature anywhere

Hopefully the start of some improvement in standards. And if the players have any sense of decency then maybe less bullying of the refs

I've frequented many forums over the years, and moderated a few, but I've never seen the abuse that is thrown towards fellow posters to the same level that I see on here. The bizarre thing is that everyone is supposed to be joined by a common goal i.e. supporting Burnley FC. Some think that abuse is...

do you have any issues with draining the car battery at all with the 24/7 active camera? Cams that have a permanently active parking mode come with a "battery discharge prevention" feature as part of the hardwire circuitry. Once the battery voltage falls below a certain(usually configurable) level ...
