Iain Banks: The Wasp Factory

Dark, sinister and confusing but brilliantly funny in parts.

Give it a read.

Dressinggown

We have so many issues raised about the state of the ball in test matches.

Players just trying to get the ball changed every few minutes.

Criticism of what manufacturer produces the ball.

Seen Windies v Aus using a pink ball without seemingly any reason.

Any suggestions ?

Have a look at Osanuna's stadium in Spain.

Smart, but relatively cheap.

Where on earth have you got £20m from? You can easily double if not treble it.

Ok, double it. Still not an expensive job. We don't need anything fancy or full of corporate facilities.

Dressinggown

Just cantilever an upper tier over the cricket ground.

A whole new structure seating about 7,000 would come in around £20m.

Peanuts, in today's football finance.

Are we not trying to become a modern day, top level club ?

Dressinggown

Just knock the rotting thing down and build something new.

It's not that hard.

Dressinggown

Hated going to any nightclubs in Burnley but followed the crowd.

Do Bojangles / Kestrel Suite count as nightclubs as they were fairly decent ?

I would much prefer to go for a curry at the Koh-I-Noor, Sharma or Al Khadin after a dozen pints.

Dressinggown

That looks out !

Still, game on.

Job done. Great knock from De Silva though.

Another gone.

GH were having a good go but now 3 down.

Missed one for us and a couple more when he went back to Preston. GA certainly had a different technique to almost all other penalty takers who generally side foot the ball. He took a few deep breaths then ran gun-barrel straight at the ball, striking it with his instep at his chosen point of conne...

House 213-2.

Can't see GH chasing that down.

Dressinggown

Great Harwood seems a bit of a pain in the backside to get to by public transport for a T20 on a Friday evening. I would need to walk down from the top of Padiham to The Bridge to get the Accy bus then get some form of Hyndburn Circular bus to GH and then it could be a good walk to the ground (uphil...

Pound bakery

Agreed, although they have to be called a 'Traditional Pasty' and are more than a quid.

I've only missed being a season ticket holder a couple of years since 1976. Saw over 40 games during the 1991 Mullen campaign which was an incredible experience. This year I have made a very difficult decision. I'm not renewing my ticket. This has something to do with my personal, financial and heal...

Rarely anyone talks to each other:any more .

Nobody seems to possess any ability to positively engage with others.

Me,me,me,me. And F**k anyone else.

Has society got dragged into this abyss ?

Dressinggown

Nice ground. Crap performance.

Paddy has become the top spinner in the league irrespective of highly paid professionals.

Netherfiield today .We don't need a pro.

The Housemartins. Happy hour again ?

Dressinggown

New ground. Should be a good day out !

There is crap all you can do when adults behave like kids.

This was the result of a disagreement between my neighbours about the use of a wheelie bin:

It's just a relentless downward spiral of modern day society. A lot of these kids have their E-bikes financed by drug dealers who employ them as delivery drivers. Go down any town centre during the evening and these little sh*ts are everywhere. They know that they are untouchable by the authorities....

Looks as busy as Burnley last week where is everyone?

Might have a bit to do with the crap weather before 4:00pm.

Dressinggown

Getting interesting at the House.

Dressinggown

Things looking a bit brighter down at the House.

Strange decision to bat given the weather conditions.

House in trouble 76-5.

'Pieman'. My mate Barry celebrating a goal in the JHU in 2005.

Dressinggown

I was in my element playing at Padiham (mostly in the seconds or thirds). The boundary towards the football field was extremely short. I had this bat which was about 2lbs 13oz (Slazenger V100 5*). Even a leading edge would go for six. I once hit a ball way over the trees at the Arbories End and usin...

Completely clueless.

I urge you to watch the programme i saw on Channel 5 last night. Think it was called Cause of Death. Shocked to the core. I took upon your recommendation and watched the documentary. I wasn't really that shocked. People just do what they want in self interest. It's just that I don't give a crap abo...

It was also sodding freezing. Some arrived and called it a day after an hour or two. That wind was a nightmare.

Dressinggown

.... unless you have already been run over.

The Police use these stinger devices which deflates the tyres of fleeing vehicles.

Why not have a pop up version for motorists who are about to run you over on a crossing ? An added bonus would be that you could give the occupants a good hiding before they can get away.

You're definitely talking about the Zebra crossing outside Padiham medical centre. You take your life in your own hands there.
It was safer crossing roads in Thailand.

No, further up town.
