I can see the Casper thought but I somehow can’t imagine Frank on a dance floor with his knees.

Given the clue from the OP I’d probably agree with you durhamclaret.

We sat down to dinner and were asked if we minded sharing a table as the restaurant was busy. As the above couple sat down I immediately thought ‘here we go - a full evening of chatting about BFC and games from the late 1980’s’

How disappointing for me to be greeted by a Yorkshire accent as opposed so the soft Welsh accent I was anticipating.

Sorry for the wind up lads but I couldn’t resist trying this one especially seeing that he was a good dancer reminiscent of our renowned number one our fourth division days. I really thought it was Chris Pearce until I heard his voice.

I think ‘Clarets4me’ and ‘clarettillIdie’ will appreciate this one.


It gave me a good excuse to refresh my memory with a read of CT’s excellent summary of Pearce’s career from the old CM days.

Wait, so the thread title should really be "Who isn't this?" ?

Yes youre probably right.

However if you insist - the answer is Simon from Wakefield.

Apologies for wasting your time with a "lookey likey" as Sean Dyche calls it!

Why would anyone brag about being on a cruise ?

Not being funny I just really don’t get why

I can understand why somebody would brag about being on a cruise, they are fantastic, have you been on one?
Not sure bragging was the reason for the initial post

I’m with you on this one, I’ve never seen the attraction about cruises. Thousands of people crammed on to a bloody boat, (footy game is a totally different experience for those nay sayers) stopping off at this and that Caribbean island to buy all kinds of cr*p you don’t need or want, all probably made in China :roll: And from what I hear it’s expected one ‘dresses for dinner’, what’s that nonsense about, I’m on hol’s not at a bloody fashion show? Is it a ‘willy waving’ contest to see who gets to sit at the Captains table? :roll:

And so, a bloke from Wakefield has no idea that there's a thread on a football message board all about him?

Riveting stuff.

Your second line was my point

Yes - Nothing against cruises at all and yes they are fantastic

Funny for the last 20 years I have done well not to be dragged on a cruise by the wife. Now 3 months ago we took a ferry from Barcelona to Rome, huuummm not quite as they called it a cruise , hey I was done for .
We did laugh as it was a bucket ship at best with very little that worked the pool was under repair and you would have to get up early if you wanted a deck chair as I counted 14 of them . Hey been there done that and still laugh about it .

Wondered why Zeki wasn’t pictured in training.
He’s here stuffing his face with pizza.
