Big M, the only one with an overdraft on managers. Myself I've tried everything on AI to get his young laddie in. Didn't work. But he did blow up the sheep and bin dippers grounds. Tip to Big M., told ya,you were better off taking over Poundland, and Shawarma greek food fast outlets. But no. You just couldn't understand Geordie ?.
13 Oct 2026 19:36:59
You say what? ??.
12 Oct 2026 21:33:47
"Living the Skegness dream” now that's funny Jay! Made me chuckle and fair play to Ballons for having your back. The Skegness Massive are back in the house!☀️?⛱️.
13 Oct 2026 10:00:31
It was funny the first time Perko but after being repeated around 100 times, less so mate.????.
13 Oct 2026 19:15:31
Repeatedly repeating the same thing, annoying isn't it, what was that stat about Cretaceous Dyches record again? ??.
14 Oct 2026 08:54:04
But I have to repeat things to help the hard of thinking, like you RRH.???.
14 Oct 2026 15:45:57
So now you are calling me thick, nice one?.
14 Oct 2026 17:50:42
Well, seeing as you've brought it up RRH I must say from your posts that you blow hot and cold mate. Some posts are perceptive and intelligent ( which I've always remarked on) but others are bullying and foolish.
So I'd say that you don't appear to be as dim as Skeggs and Larry, but you are certainly, in my opinion, on the spectrum.
Hope that answers your question?
14 Oct 2026 20:15:43
I hope you aren't looking for sympathy RRH. I judge a person by the company he keeps mate. ????.
14 Oct 2026 20:18:44
Typical from those of your former profession. Not liked by any but you're own and backside kissing grasses.
Larry and Skegs are great guys, i really enjoy live chat with them on, and Ant n Dec, better not leave him out. And of course ?, ? and fingers, Wayland and Bsered. If i forgot any of you i do apologise. We make a good balanced bunch with a broad spectrum of football knowledge. Differing views and ideas on tactical approach and styles, thats what makes this site so good.
But then there are those like yourself who think they are better than the rest of us, always looking down you're nose at us. It makes me laugh that you call me a bully, coming from the supposedly 'more intelligent man', the same 'more intelligent man' who resorts to questioning peoples intelligence when they don't agree with you.
I'm not sure who you are trying to impress, because most of us are knuckle dragging Neanderthals according to the 'more intelligent man'. By the way a mistake I've made, calling out peoples spelling mistakes, only makes you look like a ????. As for grammar mistakes, mine are as terrible as any, unless i actually engage my brain.
So all in all, you are a pompous ???? that deserves zero respect, questioning peoples intelligence and especially, especially calling out people for repeating themselves (what is that Dyche stat?). ?? (might as well play your silly immature games and add these) ????.
15 Oct 2026 09:20:20
Perhaps just as well my reply wasn't published RRH.
I'll just say I spent my career going head to head with mob handed, bullying d'heads so it's like water off a ducks back to me.
In fairness, I did use the phrase "from your posts”.
In real life you and your gang could be perfectly decent human beings.
Which begs the obvious question as to why you all behave like ignorant dip?s on here?
15 Oct 2026 12:54:41
As for your anti Police tirade, well, you are entitled to your opinion and there are good and bad in every profession, but in my experience it's people like you who quickly overcome their distaste for the Police when things go wrong and they can't come bleating for help quickly enough.
15 Oct 2026 13:14:01
I think you'll find i don't belong to a gang, I'm just me, like it or lump it. Marmite you might say. Ignorant dipstick?. Again those that don't agree with you need labelling. As for bullying lol, take a scroll down the banter pages, there is a certain poster who literally can't post a single comment without you interfering.
So please tie up that high horse of yours. ??.
15 Oct 2026 14:19:30
Anyways. waist on the beach this morning watching the locals mining for Lugworms i thought to myself.

Winter - despite being of Cornish-origin (!), I think you're a top guy with a sharp mind and a good SOH. I find it hard to understand why you and Stokey are locking horns.
After spending time with Stokey face-to-face, I can assure you that he is none of the things that you accuse him of. The guy struck me as well-educated, yet full of empathy and compassion. OK he's a former Pig and we all joke about that - but he is a man with a large heart who, I can assure you from personal stuff going on here, is a loyal person who can be relied on for support and wise advice in times of need.
Put the handbags away Gentlemen!!
16 Oct 2026 09:36:54
For my part, im afraid i can't apologise this time. As you well know the need for confrontation with Janners and their Northern Brethren runs deep within my kind.
Especially the ones who pick on those with little to no ability to defend themselves. Likewise with many similar traits hide within those poor fools who stand idol, whilst four and five syllable words formed as insults fly over said heads.
I often reach deep beneath the surface and find within the depths inspiration from St Piren himself, the Kernow Crusader, cape and all, comes to the fore.
I take it upon myself to battle Beelzebub and his human formed Minions, yellow or not. I can't help but think, no wonder the Irish exiled St Piran when he inspires such fool hardy and imbecilic behaviour.
Also blame can be forwarded to the Capricorn in me, horns needing to be locked, after all, its in my nature. ????.
16 Oct 2026 14:21:36
I'm Capricorn too. Explains alot.
Keep out of my way and I'll keep out of yours
How's that for a solution ?
16 Oct 2026 14:29:31
Im to erratic to fall out with anyone for more than an hour or so, its done as far as im concerned. ?.
16 Oct 2026 18:38:30
*too Winter.
Sorry mate, I'm joking! I couldn't resist.
16 Oct 2026 18:47:17
Whatever Janner in disguise. ??.
16 Oct 2026 19:08:06
And so we get to the bottom of the issue - two stubborn Capricorn 'Goats' locking horns with each other, with neither prepared to back-down!
I used to think that the whole starsign character-traits thing was a load of old tosh until a nurse lent me a book about the subject in the recovery ward. I was hooked and read it cover-to-cover twice. I'm now a firm believer! Being a typical Scorpio I like Capricorns.
Look me up if you're on FB Winter. I feel that the Eds, rightly so, aren't keen on posting 'real names'. Just google the book 'Finding my Feet Again' and you'll find me.
I'm glad you two are no longer locking horns.
16 Oct 2026 20:42:44
I don't do social media mate, well apart from this if it counts. Lifes complicated enough. Used to use it and found it's just basically peacocks flashing their feathers, hundreds of 'friends' lol, that you don't really know or have any interest in talking to.
Plus it gets me out of stupid family 'Face time'. I know, i know it sounds miserable but that's how i like it. ??.
16 Oct 2026 20:43:47
And I don't need to google your book lol, its on my shelf. ?.
16 Oct 2026 21:32:29
A true story which may make you Capricorns chuckle on a Friday evening:
The nurse who lent me the star sign book was originally from Poland, married to a Janner, with an attractive Polish/Devon accent. She was brilliant - very attentive/caring, beautiful and with fluent English. She also happened to be a Capricorn with a very dry SOH which I loved. Basically, in my 'moments of clarity' - I fancied the knickers off her.
Do you remember the days of old when you'd wake up with a screaming hangover on Sunday morning knowing that you'd said or done something really embarrassing the night before on a night out - but can't clearly recall what you did? I woke up one morning and had the same feeling. The nurse came in and said good morning to me. I plucked up the courage and asked her what the hell I'd done the evening before.
Whilst sorting out my bedspace and without even looking at me she said that I had told her to get into bed with me. She then looked me in the eye, gave me a small wink, and told me "I said no - it's not big enough".
I'm still trying to convince myself she was talking about the size of the bed.
16 Oct 2026 22:31:58
Coincidentally I'm currently reading " The English Civil War " by Diane Purkess. Only the English call it by that name. Everyone else calls it " The War of the Five Nations”. That would be England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall all regarded even in the 1640's as seperate because they largely spoke their own languages ( albeit the local rulers were mostly English).
Cornwall declared virtually entirely for the King, hoping to be granted some form of independence.
They won most of the early battles until the New Model Army under Fairfax ( like the first team) turned up and won everything and took back control for the Roundheads.
Lego, your man Carew and his family unfortunately backed the losing side and suffered as did Cornwall generally under Cromwell's protectorate.
17 Oct 2026 00:11:00
A good sword and a trusty hand
A merry heart and true
King James's men shall understand what Cornish lads can do
And have they fixed the where and when?
And shall Trelawny die?
Here's 20 thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die?
Here's twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
Out spake their Captain brave and bold, a merry wight was he
If London Tower where Michael's hold will set Trelawny free
We'll cross the Tamar, land to land, the Severn is no stay
With one and all, and hand in hand
And who shall bid us nay?
And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die?
Here's 20 thousand Cornish men will know the reason why
And when we come to London wall
A pleasant sight to view
Come forth, come forth, you cowards, all his men as good as you
Trelawny, he's in keep and hold
Trelawny, he may die
Here's 20 thousand Cornish bold
Will know the reason why
And shall Trelawny live, or shall Trelawny die?
Here's 20 thousand Cornish men will know the reason why.

Not been on for a while so just read something has happened to Stevie F.
Always liked your posts mate. Best wishes and hope to see you back on here soon.
10 Oct 2026 19:53:05
I've just been given the heads-up privately by Stokey about Stevie F's situation relayed by Bowie. Superb news. Being an old-school Bootneck, it doesn't surprise me that Stevie pulled through the process despite the complications. These guys are made of tough-stuff!!
I better explain - the nickname Bootneck was given to the Royal Marines by the other armed services back in the year dot. They used to cut up the leather from old boots and secure this around their necks to reduce the risk of having their throats cut in hand-to-hand combat.
Tough guys.
I'm tickled pink for Stevie.
11 Oct 2026 09:20:51
Very interesting historical post Lego. I think the Marines started in the days of wooden sailing warships to board other ships and prevent mutiny. Inspired by Rogie and " The African Queen " film im reading the CS Forester Hornblower series where the Marines play a big part
Never do a stroke of work on board though unless the ship is sinking ?.
11 Oct 2026 22:09:59
He's a commando veteran stokey bud. ? and good post lego ?.
12 Oct 2026 12:25:14
Yes I know Bowie mate and I have made a point of always according him the greatest of respect and admiration for that, as I do all veterans.
07 Oct 2026 09:17:02
How is Stevie (aka Kev) doing? Did DTP get any news?
09 Oct 2026 14:26:50
Not yet keef bud.
06 Oct 2026 11:04:23
In this seemingly interminable lull in the action, I've been looking at a couple of statements from NASA and other scientists which made me realise that, should be ever be tempted to get too big for our boots on here ( and I include myself in this) we should recognise how insignificant we are in the Universe and how exaggerated are the importance of our lives and opinions in the unimaginable vast scheme of things.
Voyager 1 ( the space probe famously containing a golden disc with music ranging from Mozart to Chuck Berry, the sound of a human baby crying, whales communicating, waves breaking on a shore and greetings in 55 different languages. Also, a helpful cosmic map showing where we are) was launched in September 1977 and is still travelling as we speak at 38,000 mph.
Bearing in mind that light travels at 186,000 miles per SECOND, on November 17th ( at around 2. 10am Florida time) it will have achieved one light DAY in distance from the Earth. Radio signals take 24 hours each way to reach Earth. Voyager 1 will lose contact entirely in 2036 but will keep travelling forever.
The nearest star ( apart from our Sun) is 4 and a half light years away. So even travelling at 186,000 miles per second, it would take that amount of time to reach it.
The Andromeda Galaxy is travelling towards ours ( the Milky Way) and in 4 billion years time will merge. The night sky will contain around 3 times more stars than now and our well known constellations will change shape entirely into new ones. It will be quite a sight but no human eye will see it.
Anyway, take care folks and have a good day ??.
06 Oct 2026 14:09:42
Stokey, In 1990 as Voyager was leaving our solar system and the camera being switched off, it turned and took a photos called " The Pale Blue Dot", it was Earth surrounded in darkness, at that time it should have been a wake up call for how fragile our existence is.
06 Oct 2026 16:55:48
I remember that iconic photo very well Mossy. I couldn't ( and still can't) get my head round all that suffering and conflict, yet beauty and wisdom in one small world mate.
I felt the same on an Emirates flight to visit my stepson who was working in Dubai around 10 years ago. The inflight map of our route showed us, unbelievably, flying directly over Irbil in Kurdistan Iraq where, 30, 000 feet beneath our feet, surrounded by luxury, people were killing each other in their thousands.
Two worlds eh?
On a lighter note, the original piece of classical music on Voyager 1's golden disc was going to be JS Bachs " Goldberg Variations”. It's such a mathematically perfect and beautiful piece of music that Carl Sagan the Harvard astromer working with NASA on the Voyager project vetoed it on the grounds that aliens would think we were just showing off. He went with Chuck Berry and a 3 minute aria from Mozarts " Magic Flute”.?.

06 Oct 2026 22:57:18
My all time piece of classical music is (trois gymnopodies) by Eric sate. Plz give it a whirl. Fell upon it accidentally by one of Gary numans b sides I think it was. Beautiful relaxing piece of work. ?.
07 Oct 2026 09:50:06
London Symphony Orchestra, composed by John Williams, the iconic songs from Star Wars, have it saved on Spotify, beautiful, powerful and addictive. ?.
07 Oct 2026 10:45:01
Very familiar with that piece Bowie, my first wife was a very good pianist and played Eric Satie often. My daughter could never pronounce the name of that tune so she called it " the Chiropody music” and it's known as that to this day.?.
07 Oct 2026 17:28:30
John Williams very moving music from ". Schindlers List” does it for mate. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
One of my favourite film themes is Michael Kamens wonderful score from " Band of Brothers”.
Bowie, for relaxing music I love Beethovens 6th Symphony the Pastoral. It's got a wonderful sense of humour and humanity to it as well, as when he speeds up the peasants dancing music as the thunderstorm approaches and they dash for shelter.
Vaughn Williams " Lark Ascending " is a perfect evocation of a hot summers day in England. only an Englishman could have written it.
Beethovens " Moonlight Sonata' and the second movement of the Emperor Piano. Concerto takes all your troubles away mate.
07 Oct 2026 17:49:11

John Williams Star Wars theme is certainly stirring stuff mate ?.

Well the proposed new footbridge has miraculously grown into a new tram and footbridge with a tram station at the end. So who's going to foot the bill? And why wasn't it discussed at the planning meeting, seems to me that Rushcliffe council are using Forest to pay for all their projects at little or no cost to them.
Mr M should tell them to stick it and not be held to ransom by one of the richest councils in the country. end of the day it would be cheaper and make more economical sense to build away from them.

30 Sep 2026 15:18:08
I've seen alot of footage of Adolf RRH and have always failed to see the much vaunted oratory skills. Too hysterical and ranting, the very opposite of Churchillian who spoke with restraint and dignity. He never raised his voice either, just under stated firm certainty.
Unlike Hitler, great comic timing and good humour.
Have a look at his speech to the Canadian Parliament regarding Goebbels claim that Germany would " wring that chickens neck” in reference to GB.
" Well, here we are several years later.
Some chicken.some neck.”
Just brilliant.
02 Oct 2026 01:08:59
Gobbells done all of hitlers talking stokey. or however he's spelt.
02 Oct 2026 18:53:55
Just because you didn't rate him, doesn't mean his words weren't able to rally an entire country behind him and his values(by the way I'm not endorsing the Austrian tanker in any shape or form). ?.
03 Oct 2026 17:40:21
Always a strange one to me winter ? they put full on luftwaffe planes against us. Battle of Britain absolutely unbelievable heroism and never for me to be found again. Reason. Hitler had no doubt we'd blow their navy outta the park. What happens now ? Dinghys swarm us bud.
03 Oct 2026 19:18:21
Barbed wire, thats as simple as the solution is.? ? ?.
05 Oct 2026 10:57:34
RRH Hitler was undoubtedly charismatic. I recently read "!Travellers in the Third Reich” by Julia Boyd, a brilliant book about tourists in Germany between the Wars ( people forget that Germany was basically undamaged during WW1 as the fighting and destruction was mainly in France and Belgium). Apart from starvation caused by the British Naval blockade which went a long way to their defeat.
One of the accounts was by a Bournemouth GP, his wife and 3 or 4 daughters who took a walking holiday on the beautiful Bavarian Alps, Up in the hills they met Adolf Hitler, walking with a friend, no security etc.
He was warm and friendly and posed for what we would today call a selfie with the Doctors family. The photo is re produced in the book and later framed in the Surgery Waiting Room until our country was at War when the local Bobby popped in and advised him to remove it, which he did.
There are loads of accounts of what a personable and appealing man he was from everyone from Lloyd George and the Mitford right through to ordinary tourists.
He was, certainly initially, the velvet glove but behind him was the Iron Fist of the SA ( later the SS), with the Holocaust just around the corner.
05 Oct 2026 11:17:08
Bowie, it was the other way round mate. German Blitzkreig tactics ( incidentally first thought of by Captain Liddell Hart, a Brit but ignored by the British) needed control of the air to fend off the all powerful Royal Navy for long enough to float an Army across the Channel then supply it. Much like D Day in reverse. The German Navy ( apart from subs) was tiny. One small Aircraft Carrier (which never left port ) and a few pocket battleships used as raiders on British merchant ships). You can't transport an army in submarines.
We won the Battle of Britain by superb organisation, the invention of radar and the build up of key aircraft such as the Hurricanes ( and far superior but far fewer in number ) the Spitfire. Like the Harrier jump jets in the Falklands ( developed at Hucknall) a war winner against superior numbers.
Plus the rescue services of downed pilots ( Includibg Germans ) by the coastguard and RNLI
Our pilots to fight again. Theirs to captivity:
As for the dinghy's, unlike in War, you can't kill people on the high seas. It's murder.
I'm thinking the solution is converted ex RAF and military camps pending repatriation. So barbed wire as you say RRH. Humane conditions. But bear in mind, migrants commit an offence under the Immigration Act 1971 as amended straight away, as soon as they are landed. Carries 10 years so stops the clock ticking and the Human Rights complications.
As the issue is going to be the next General Election decider it's odd that all options aren't being considered.
