Unless you have worked in Central London you really have no idea how bad, what seems like a majority, of cyclists can be. I got knocked over by some idiot who cycled through a red light at the Jct of Farringdon Rd and Roseberry Ave. When I got up and dusted myself off and asked him what he thought h...

It was interesting seeing some of the content of the rescheduled HIGNFY given the battery acid comment that she had made thereafter.

I think Mala591 is referring to the DUP who are largely descended from Scottish/Yorkshire Protestant immigrants shipped into the north of Ireland back in the day.

I work to a simple premise regarding humour and it is that if you make a comment and your audience, wherever they may be, burst out laughing - as in this case - then it is a fair assumption that you have not only told a joke but done a pretty good job of so doing. I have listened, in full, to the au...

If this carries on it will be called flaming June for a completely different reason.

All I’m saying is that there are a lot more grey areas and nuance when it comes to alleged antisemitism than when it comes to chanting racist songs at the football. Eg - some folk will say criticising the state of Israel is antisemitic, some will disagree. Some folk say that pointing out that the J...

Funny old world we live in....

Semite.. a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.

If it helps Blackrod, before it being pointed out that he shaved his legs, I thought he had girlie feet. And CIK it's not about being injured per se, it is the fact that he is out of the team for very lengthy periods through injury that is the problem. I fear we may get some use out of him until, sa...

I have just spoken to my Dad who said 75 years ago today at 6;45 he jumped into the sea and waded ashore at Sword beach. He should have been at the beach today with the other veterans but unfortunately hes in hospital with water works problems. Hats of to them all they did this without knowing what...

My understanding of this advertising malarky, and feel free to contradict, is that the betting logo is aimed squarely at the Chinese/Asian market. So when a Burnley match is shown on TV then the hope of LoveBet is that their profile will rise in that region of the world. And I understand that but wh...

Quite clearly what Willsman has said is not anti-semitic. It is not racist to suggest that a country is using a particular tactic to discredit a political party that is highly critical of its policies. Criticism of Israel is opposition to racism because the policies of the state of Israel in relati...

Nearest I've seen in recent years is Leighton James playing for Burnley CC at Lowerhouse. Naturally we gave him some stick.

It was one of the weirdest days ever. I got up as normal and went to work in Londons West End. Not allowed to wear club shirts etc so I was wearing light blue trousers and a claret harrington. As noon approached one of my colleagues who had very kindly agreed to cover for me, arrived at work. I walk...

It should be made law that if a Prime Minister resigns then there should be a General Election. As it is this will boil down to around 100,000, mainly white middle class men, deciding who becomes leader. And it could be Boris the Buffoon.

I'm amazed how short sighted some clubs can be. When my Son went to Secondary School he was one of the smallest, if not the smallest boy in the School. When he left in the 5th year he was 6ft 3ins.

If I see Tommy Robinson it will be one more time than I’ve ever seen the Bishop of Burnley and I’ve lived her all my life. I’ve zero desire to see Robinson but what gives the Bishop the right to speak on my behalf? Just seen the above at the start of this post. The reason why some weirdo who dresse...

Just get a marker pen and put Lynch under Love Bet and you're sorted.

Anybody over the age of 20 who wears trainers as casual wear is a sad gherkin jerker, FACT.

When we used to regularly visit Padiham when Mum was still alive generally stayed at Burnley Premier Inn but always went to Accrington ASDA for brekkie. The children used to like it. And it was cheap.

The system is sick and needs a reboot. If you can pay yourself in gold bullion to avoid National Insurance then something is seriously wrong.

The problem here are that there are two bodies involved and two innocent victims.

And that my friend is where the whole sorry debate begins. Who takes precedence?

Car crash TV. We shouldn't be surprised that it has finally ended up with some poor bloke allegedly killing himself.

I think it is fair to say I am probably the only one who thinks so.

Are you all implying that he looks younger than he is. I'm 65 and he looks about the same age as me.

I really do not want to see Crouch in a Burnley shirt next season.

My wife has just pointed out to me that I have lived in Hampshire just 2 years shy of how long I lived in Padiham. I still support Lancs, mind.

Corky

Given where we are now, surely we can afford to be magnanimous.

I cannot confirm this but my wife tells me that Bakers wife and daughter have received death threats. The so called royal family really are more trouble than they're worth.

Take the FA Cup. No one is forced to enter. It is a celebration of the FA. So the final is for all members of the FA. That is why they retain the lions share of tickets and they are given out to all their members. That is why back in the day my Dad who ran the Burnley Gas Board footy team which was ...

The railways in Europe are better than we have. Britain’s privatisation led to underfunding, overcrowding, excessive fares, delays, and disruption. The Labour Party have said they will renationalise but that’s not enough. We need a complete upgrade of our railway stations, a part reversal of what B...

Out of interest Corky, why is the registering with JG such a pain? It does make the way of getting to as many people as possible, as easy as possible so will enhance every opportunity for people to donate. Personal preference.

He runs over 3,000 miles for charity spread over many days and over a period of about 9 months, and it's a problem for someone to spend 2 minutes registering with "Just Giving"?
Fair enough.

I hope you feel better now you've got that off your chest.

Corky

Problem with these is that whilst I would be more than happy to donate, frankly, I can't be having all the nonsense that goes with it. Either sign in via Facebook or register with Just Giving. So I don't bother. I'm sure it must put others off as well.

Given what our forefathers went through to gain one man one vote (against establishment wishes) I am always horrified by the casual approach some show to voting.

I always vote. Fortunately here in Hart we have a good group of independent Community Councillors who are non Political. Gets right up the noses of the Tory toffs.

As Wirvine above has just intimated; any business that rests on its laurels soon finds itself overtaken by the competition.

Well close enough isn't it paediatrician, paedophile, easy mistake to make especially if you are a bit simple. Also s...

I'm afraid this is yet another example of trial and judgement by social media. Why was the Policeman arresting the guy, what had happened prior to the arrest and the brief clip we saw. Had he resisted arrest or refused to do as the Policeman said. so many unanswered questions...... Anyone and I mean...

At Arsenal a couple of years ago we met a Spanish lad in the pub there. He was on holiday with his wife in London and had bought a ticket online as he always wanted to see a PL game. He was given a Burnley shirt and scarf by our group which he then proudly wore in the home section. Since then he's ...

Difficult to believe or not, they were there. They were on row 18, seat numbers 39-44 (assuming the numbers on the row in front were the same as our group).

Of course if he is still at the helm next season we could always sing it to him.

All the nonsense that is now in the media about anti football, time wasting and insults being thrown is all about entitlement, nothing more. Just like the UK establishment, the top 6 richest teams believe they have a right to beat the poorer sides like Burnley. Well they haven't and we showed them w...
