Love this thread!

Not sure if ‘obscure’ is quite the right world but I’d say the most unheralded Burnley player is Billy Nesbitt who had a long pro career with the clarets and was an FA cup winner while being completely deaf. This is almost unheard of in the entire history of the sport, because hearing is a key part ...

It’s been a long time but I remember laughing out loud a lot when reading Catch-22

The Florida theme parks are fundamentally and unavoidably expensive, and it sounds like you’re a bit hard up. So can I politely ask… do you really need to do this? A holiday is supposed to be a time of relaxation not a constant stress over money.

John Francis at York for me.

Honorable mention for Steve Bull, Wolves vs West Brom in 1989... one of the best crowd scenes you'll ever see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV33xbLDLTc

I look forward to reading it. Does he mention Justin Langer's leaked dossier from the 2009 Ashes? I have long had a theory that it ultimately had a positive effect on Anderson. What Langer wrote was broadly true at the time, Jimmy took it to heart, fixed it, and never looked back.

Not to brag too much... but here's a photo I took of Bruce flying a B-17 Flying Fortress over Oshkosh

Seriously hoping we take the full allocation, as I will be over from the USA and this is probably the only chance I'll have to see a live game the whole season!

Standard/pedigree of coaching has got more consistent, especially at the mid to lower level. Used to be able to rely on 2 or 3 teams having a rank bad manager.

Oshkoshclaret

He has tons of raw talent and, unlike some 'flair' players, works hard for the team, no question on his effort and attitude. Just seems a bit lacking in decision making in the final third. That souped improved with age and experience but will likely always be his weak point.

A helicopter between Shrewsbury and Huddersfield is technically feasible to keep Dave Burnley's streak alive. I'd be happy to contribute.

Interesting. I’ve also got a long sleeved Spall with a stitched on #12. Signed by the team on the back. I bought it on eBay about 20 years ago. Seller said it was signed in the bus home after the last game of the season. Now I’m wondering “what season?” as I always thought 1981-82 but mine seems dif...

Based on a recent visit I wish I'd spent more time in advance, researching the popular rides and coming up with a plan for them. I bought the fast pass for Universal Studios but didn't know Hagrid's coaster is excluded from the fast pass. If I'd understood all the complexity and issues with getting ...

First time I used ChatGPT, in December 2022, I was absolutely blown away. It was one of those "I remember exactly where I was when..." moments in life, like learning of Princess Di's death or the 9/11 attacks. I've had an interest in AI and AGI since the late 90s and the days of the A.L.I.C.E. chatb...

No catfish? Is a Bluegill like a Pumpkinseed? [/quote] Yes, they are both small sunfish. Actually when I say I've got bluegills I they are more of a bluegill/pumpkinseed hybrid than a purebred bluegill. I had catfish in a previous pond but didn't like the way they stirred up the water so didn't sto...

The classic mix for a farm pond here in the Midwest is largemouth bass and bluegill. They tend to find a natural balance between the two species and you'll typically have a ton of 5-8 inch bluegills, about ten 1.5 to 2.5 pound bass per acre, and a few trophy bass in the 3lb+ category. They're both t...

Slick nitpick from an aviation geek, he's not on a private jet, he's flying first class on an Emirates Boeing 777. The little minibar gives it away.

Accrington Town Hall are currently advertising for local football clubs to have their presentation nights there. Which isn't going down well at Stanley. Massive conflict of interest! Andy Holt has got Stanley punching massively above their weight. I don't think he will be fully appreciated until he...

He was a keen pilot and about 25 years ago paid an unexpected visit to my place of work in Oshkosh. A famous call came through from the front desk to my boss: "there's a Mr Gene Hackman here to see you"... my boss said "what does he look like?"... "looks just like Gene Hackman"

Last summer I got a 'dodgy box' and it's been one of the best things ever for a sports loving expat. I will also mention that Fawa News has been a solid and reliable source of streams. Like Iraq Goals used to be 10 to 15 years ago before it was shut down. I do actually have the official paid subscri...

Trump's statement today pushed it over the edge. I had just done writing that for the first time since emigrating 24 years ago I was embarrassed to be a US citizen... but by the time I hit 'post' the thread was gone.

The last 30 years of the airline business have proved pretty clearly that the average traveler would rather buy a cheap ticket to fly at Mach 0.78 than a more expensive ticket to fly at Mach 0.85 Since Concorde retired, for the first time in history, humans used to be able to travel quicker than the...

What's the story with the Barnfield roof? I thought it was supposed to be turf. Looks terrible.

Re JJ...what a monster... When someone makes Vincent Kompany look small, you know we are talking about an amazing physical specimen.

Right now it feels like a decent idea, badly executed. It hasn’t helped that the first three matchups were walkover wins, so there’s been very little competitive tension. The ball tracking they’re using seems ‘off’, and they’re missing a lot of the more entertaining/charismatic players, who are with...

I was recently at the Florida parks for the first time in about 10 years. Had heard a lot about the Velocicoaster and Guardians of the Galaxy. They were great but I thought Hagrid's Motorbike ride was ridiculously good. I think it's opened a whole new chapter in what a rollercoaster can be.

I went to the Worlds at Ally Pally few years back. Enjoyed every second of it. Fantastic party atmosphere... you'd have to be a right miserable bugger not to enjoy it. The lasting impression I had was a celebration of the human spirit... a together as one feeling. That's what football does at its ve...

Can anyone recommend a solicitor that deals with personal injury cases, serving the Burnley area? Thanks in advance.

Lippy sat us down in the gym one day and gave us a lecture about the importance of keeping fit, to avoid having a heart attack in our 40s. I never forgot it. Am 53 now and that one lesson has got me out of the house on many a cold morning to go running. Teachers really do make a difference.

I would have even bothered with the ‘on the rugby field’ bit.

I didn’t witness it myself but there was a story went round about Denson sorting Saunders out in the dinner hall.

He was definitely a Forest fan late eighties/early nineties.

Fat G was a decent bloke and teacher, but did relentlessly take the **** out of Burnley in our darkest hour. Got back on the claret bandwagon later. (File under “Jimmy Anderson”)

I’m extremely cynical regarding the whole Christopher Columbus venture. Massive waste of energy and resources, and for various reasons, I predict doomed to failure.

A solid A from me. Will upgrade to A+ if we are promoted, downgrade to B if we make the playoffs.

Nothing against the Hollies, who are deservedly in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, but there is only one correct answer to this question and it is The Kinks.
