That's the Falklands I assume?

Wasn’t that last century?

Can you recycle waxed milk cartons?

When you visit the ESB there is a sports bar on the opposite side to the entrance and they serve the biggest fish and chips I’ve ever had. Not cheap as nothing is there but it went down well with a few Stella’s.
Can’t remember the name of it but it is typical New York bar, narrow and long.

Interesting read on another clubs struggles this season.

I’m not talking about us in particular. Just in general.

Just wondering why after a team scores the opposition get the kick off from the centre spot handing the advantage to them. It’s almost like you are penalised for scoring. Why doesn’t the scoring side kick off? I know it has always been this way but just wondering how they originally came up with thi...

Thought i'd share this heartwarming story from the BBC in the face of a terribly sad childs illness. In a world of Wars and Turmoil, Human spirit, friendship and kindness never fails to shine through.

I drove past Burnley college from the roundabout , under the viaduct towards Asda yesterday. I thought I’d gone Off Road it’s that bad.

The reason I ask about the unsold kit is that a friend of mine who is currently in the British forces in Africa helping kids in poor parts of the country has asked if anyone knows of any organisations that could donate football kit to the youngsters over there.

Vitinho. I think this lad gives everything he has. If he’s being asked to play at a level that is beyond him is that his fault, or the fault of the person who is asking him to play at that level?

karatekid

He asked Greenwood if he had been drinking?

I do enjoy crunchy peanut butter and grated cheddar cheese on a nice brown tea cake.

This looks very dark. The reviews say it's going to be a classic, but a quite disturbing one.

Yeah it is Spielberg and Hanks.

karatekid

The aerial combat scenes are good and they show the frightening intensity of flying through flack. Of course the US airmen are really cool and the brief encounter with some RAF pilots in a pub paints our boys to be complete upper class snobs even if the yanks eventually admit they were right.

karatekid

Anyone seen this new Spielberg series yet? I’ve seen the first two episodes and it’s very good so far. It’s about an American bomber crew operating out of England during World War Two.

karatekid

What do they do with unsold shirts when the new ones come out? I wonder how many they physically stock at any one time.

karatekid

Tin man.

Won't happen.
didn't I hear this sort of stuff at the time of the Falklands tiff?

Tiff?

255 British soldiers died with another 770 injured. 649 Argentinian soldiers died.

Tiff?

The Germans had the higher ground and had spent months digging tunnels so the bombardment had little effect. The miles of barbed wire was virtually untouched. It was a disaster waiting to happen from the start without our lads being asked to walk forwards and wait in no mans land. The commanders sho...

I watched the Peter Jackson documentary that colorised the footage and it was a comment at the end that I remember most when someone said to a returning soldier " hello, where have you been? I haven't seen you for ages". A lot of employers wouldn't hire returning soldiers either for some reason.

Found this online which explains it. Still Madness. Arnold was given the responsibility of leading the first wave of the attack, comprising two platoons of "W" Company and two platoons of "X" Company (each company is made up of four platoons). At around 3am on 1st July 1916, the four platoons assemb...

Not sure if this has been posted before but I came across this interview with Pte. Will Marshall from Burnley on the horrific events he witnessed. Can anyone shed any light on why the men were ordered to stop for two minutes after going fifty yards. I know the whole thing was madness but that is jus...

David Beckham was once asked what makes him so good at scoring free kicks. He replied practice, practice and then more practice. I wonder if Brownhill and JBG saw that interview?

karatekid

Great. I swapped my shift to accommodate the Monday night game. Too late to swap back now.

karatekid

Dry January to start with, hopefully extending it into the summer months. I don't drink alcohol a lot so i thought i'd just stop and see if i miss it.

Professional rather than cheeky.

These gangs are rife now.

Weren't the last lot caught for Lampards etc.. coming into the country especially to Rob? From Italy if I remember rightly.

Probably revenge for Michael Caines bit of mischief.

I’ve had holes in my socks for years. Usually where my big toe pokes through.

It’s the first time I’ve seen the brand and that coat looks quite smart, not going to lie.

I wouldn’t pay £900 for a coat though, that’s ridiculous.

I suppose it’s all relative to your income. I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a coat either. Unless of course I was earning silly £££

Not looking forward to relegation. Just being realistic. Accepting relegation doesn't mean I will enjoy it. To survive from this point would be miraculous. Far better for your health to just try and enjoy any successes we have this season without fretting over relegation.

karatekid

Relegation is not the end of the world. Go back to the championship, perform well again and all the new players will be better off for the experience of playing in the PL then bounce back for the 25/26 season.The manager and players will be more prepared second time around. We have some exciting you...

When did replica shirts become popular? When I see footage from the 60’s and 70’s no one seems to be wearing one, it just seems to be club scarves are the only colours on show. Was it when shirt sponsorship started and the sponsors wanted to get their name seen? When did you get your first Burnley r...

I just thought I would try something helpful and positive but alas NO.

Would it be possible to post any job vacancies that are available. Maybe yourself or someone you know is looking for work and sometimes the vacancies can go unnoticed so if it’s ok links could posted on here.

I just keep the doors locked , lights off and pretend I’m not in.

I don’t know. Folk complain about the potholes and general state of disrepair of our roads and then complain when the workmen turn up to fix it.

Alisson nearly threw one in then. Imagine if Trafford did that they would be building the gallows outside for him.

One of Englands greatest players pulled on our famous Claret and Blue shirt and I was there to witness it. That will do for me. It didn’t work out unfortunately for him or us but no one can deny that the lad who scored that goal against Scotland at Wembley was class when he was focused on the beauti...

Not sure that’s particularly accurate. Haven’t O’Shea and Al-Dakhil been clocked as two of the fastest defenders in the league?

Yeah but they are usually running the wrong way.
