Doesn't help if you live on your own, as I do. All the bills to meet from one wage.

It's the little streams that make the big river Bob.
Think you need to make two grand next week  |
|
By:
Doesn't help if you're married either Ken, your money is no longer your own.

Foinavon unfortunately sums up marriage perfectly.

ha ha Foinavon, I know that from 30 years ago. As Bob Monkhouse once said, "I'll never leave my wife for the simple reason that I love my house".

Perhaps Bob needs a good woman to sort out his spending problem for him.
 |
|
By:
I think it was the marvellous "Audience With" that he cracked that on.

the difference between a wife and a prostitute is a hooker will screw you for money, whereas a wife will screw you for all your money

Had that experience too Kenny, 32 years ago for me.
Eventually jumped back in again after a few years, triumph of hope over experience, as they say. |
|
By:
I never did jump back in Foinavon. I still say hello though when I see her. Prefer my cats.
|
|
By:
You know where you are with a cat. Cheaper to run too.
Is that where the money went Bob? |
|
By:

|
|
By:
its all p@ssy at the end of the day i suppose.
lol nah never been married. im not the marrying type. |
|
By:
I wish I had a k a week, I'd retire.
|
|
By:
Don't spend anywhere near 1k a week and we live quite well.
It's not as if Sheffield is a high cost area either. |
|
By:

oops i shouldnt have said that. i wont get a load of protesters coming round in balaclavas to fire bomb my kitchen will i?  |

I used to go to a nightclub regularly in Sheffield in the 70s. Genevieves. Classy joint.
|
|
By:
Given my lifestyle I'd struggle to spend £1k a week. Not that I could even if I wanted to.

Shoplifting or losing your rag in a pound shop, don't like people on minimum wage, you're a scruffy bastard who thinks somebody who asks you to remove your shoes before you enter their house is a nobhead (don't visit Japan) same probably applies to smoking, if you smoke. You certainly aren't the marrying type for any woman I know, but then again you're up north somewhere aren't you? |
|
By:
Only been to Sheffield a couple of times, nightclubs weren't on the agenda
|
|
By:
Steady on old chap, some of my best friends are northerners.
|
|
By:
Sorry, by your 0-20 post I assumed you lived in Sheffield.
|
|
By:
No, I believe that Bob lives there. I live in Brum.

Oop north I've been to Liverpool, Manchester, York, Carlisle, Glasgow, plus a few towns.
York was nice, you can keep the rest. |
|
By:
Oh, right.

By:
to Foinavon.

By:
Do you live near Sheffield Kenny, or was that in the past?
|
|
By:
I thought your Amazon locker was in the back of a pound shop.
You sound like northernlad, another one who thinks I stalk him. I don't stalk, but I don't drink, and have a good memory for most of what I read. |
|
By:
it was in spar, which isnt a pound shop.

Bradford, Foinavon. Only 30 miles in my mate's MG.

did you see my question on your Bradford fire thread? (You may have answered and I may have missed it) |
|
By:
Can't remember, taxi. Will have a look now.
|

By:
ah, it was Aunty Post's thread not mine.
call me a taxi • May 14, 2014 11:50 PM BST I'm not a football fan at all, but obviously knew of this tragedy. I only saw a photograph of the stand ablaze on Facebook the other day. It was alight from end to end, and I'm surprised there weren't more who died than listed above. Did the dead get trapped in just one section of the stand? Yes, I believe, just one exit that wouldn't open. And one other thing, given the demographics of Bradford, I'm surprised that there are no asian names on the list of the dead. Don't asians go to football matches up north? I think City get about 1% of Asians at home matches. |
