By the way, I do like Hooky as a person.

Billy Balfour

Oh, and that World in Motion song. Unforgivable.

Thought New Order was utter crap live but Joy Division was great.

Never really got into New Order. I don't like Bernard Sumner's voice. Much prefer Ian Curtis as a vocalist. It gave JD a darker edge, and it was the same with the lyrics - dark and foreboding.

Did you mean "lucky to finish with 10 points"? If I was betting over/under 10, I'd bet under. Regardless of support for Ukraine, I doubt we'll get enough sympathy votes to register. You are probably right, regarding under 10 points. Last year we had a good song, by Eurovision standards, and finishe...

Billy Balfour

The music is mostly rubbish and the show is the most obscenely gaudy thing you'll see on British TV, but this is the stuff that makes it. If it took itself seriously, hardly anyone would watch it in the UK. Get some score sheets printed off. Crack some beers open and have a different Saturday evenin...

I remember our gran looking forward to seeing Mystic Meg in Blackpool. Unfortunately, her show was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

Entrenched positions on both sides and not one single mind will be changed before the thread is locked. You'd have better luck nailing jelly to a wall - and probably more fun too.

Happen we don't want to host two years in a row... It's not unusual for a host country to enter some cookie-cutter blandness to avoid having the expense the following year. #ItsAllAConspiracy There's a lot of money in it nowadays for the hosting city. Thousands of fans along with the media circus a...

The song 'we've' chosen will be lucky to finish in the top ten. It's ten-a-penny landfill pop-trash, and I'm being too kind here. If you're going to enter a generic pop song, at least have something that makes the song stand out from the other dross.

Round these parts, you don't catch fish without decent groundbait, and this thread should have them jumping right into the keepnet.

Can I please ask that you ensure any posts on this thread remain respectful and please, no comment on what might have happened given this is a police investigation.

Why is it so hard to for some of you to understand this sentence.

Billy Balfour

Cocaine turns dull people into noisy dull people.

Billy Balfour

Nah, I think it’s good that they let the average joe on. I saw a bit of a simple Burnley fan on there once and remember thinking ‘good for you’. Yeah, I see what you mean, but why go on a quiz show with very limited general knowledge, unless you simply want to be on TV? The contestants should at le...

Billy Balfour

If you and your team of vampire killers are hunting the undead, don't ask the one who has dyslexia to buy the stakes.

Billy Balfour

One thing that is quite poor about The Chase - it's the people who go on the show just to be on the telly, while armed only with the general knowledge ability of a pet goldfish. You should at the very least be able to hold your own in a decent pub quiz team.

Billy Balfour

It wasn't a bad game by any means. Me and my lot came home happy.

Billy Balfour

I'm usually working when it's on, but if I'm not, I'll watch it if The Beast isn't on. He's the only one who I can't abide.

Aye, BT is the same as EE and Plusnet.

One thing is for sure. Regarding the world stage - far more people will watch us play Citeh in this QF than they would if we had drawn Fulham, Brighton, Grimsby or Sheffield United. Aye, we might stand a better chance of getting through to the semi-finals with one of those teams, but it's far from a...

Billy Balfour

Yeah, bring it on! We fear nobody. One thing is for sure - we will give it our best shot and this is all that counts. We won't turn up playing with everyone behind the ball while hoping that Vydra can latch onto something.

Billy Balfour

We are through to the last eight and people are crying. Some are even saying the draw was fixed. Embarrassing and pathetic.

Billy Balfour

I've just read back at some of the comments. So glad that some of you don't have anything to do with the club. If you did, the lads would be defeated well before the ref blew for kickoff.

Billy Balfour

Big game for the lads. At least we'll give them a game, and who knows, we might just do it. That's the beauty of the cup.

‘Jesus visited America’ - a nice marketing ploy for our transatlantic cousins to jump on board with

Early English Christians believed that Joseph of Arimathea visited England with Jesus.

I’m not religious at all so I’m not defending any religion as such, but why is the Mormon origin story any more bonkers than other religions?

I was just about to say the same.

Just felt really sorry for them, but at the same time terrified as its essentially a cult

Without wishing to offend anyone, I feel the same about most religions. The only difference being the degree of their cultishness.

Billy Balfour

It would be funny if one of the sign holding kids caught a shirt, then lobbed it right back shouting - yer could have washed it first!

Going from the managers since I started going on. Dyche - for the obvious reasons. Mullen - for getting the show back on the road again. I was in my early teens at the time, but that Fourth Division Championship winning season was like something else, especially the away days with my dad and his mat...

It was average at best.

I've never watched a Starwars or TLOTR film through to the end.

Both are/were overindulged by the media long after they left their posts.

Billy Balfour

It's mind games. If they lose, then they lost to the "best Championship side in the last 20-25 years". If they draw, then it's a massive point and a win would be stratospheric. See, he's saying they have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Just enjoy it while he’s here and stop worrying about when he might leave.

I agree. Enjoy the ride and stop worrying and catastrophising about what may or may happen down the line.

I love how Gary Lineker is always a massive trigger for the Permanently Angry About Something Brigade on here.

Smart-casual is always a much better look than a cheap off the peg ill-fitting suit.

Billy Balfour

Most places of hospitality that once employed a rigid dress code are now smart-casual. You'll be fine as long as you don't dress like a chav.

I've never liked Pink Floyd, then 10 years so or ago I heard some of the tracks off the first album. Now I can say I like Piper at the Gates of Dawn and some of their second album. For me, it's like there are two Pink Floyd's. Sid Pink Floyd, and not Sid Pink Floyd. I also like some of the stuff off...

Like I said upthread. I couldn't give a toss about her. She can stay there, or be brought back to the UK and put on trial. Either way, I'm not going to get arsed about it.

Want something to be concerned about that might actually have an impact on your own life and family? It's called China.

Billy Balfour

'Woke' has become the new 'snowflake'. Used way too often, and out of context, that it's become an outdated lazy insult.

What I don't accept is that the average person, on an average wage, cannot afford the same legal process that somebody on no income, or very little income, can

Yep. Very good point.

Billy Balfour

Carabao Cup Final this weekend (Sunday16:30). It's a shame that they both can't lose. In the past, I would have been rooting for Newcastle. I can't stand ManU, but now I can't stand Newcastle either.

Billy Balfour

I couldn't give a toss about her, however, for someone on here (the resident whackjob) to shoehorn Andrew Tate into this debate, is surely the mark of an obsession gone way too far.
