where the feck does money go to?

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

Doesn't help if you're married either Ken, your money is no longer your own.

i feel like im constantly swimming up a waterfall. every time i get near the top, some bugger pours water on me head!

how the hell do people on the dole manage? i might never spend owt ever again. live on beans on toast and water. summats going wrong somewhere with my outgoings.

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.

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.

I never did jump back in Foinavon. I still say hello though when I see her. Prefer my cats.

You know where you are with a cat. Cheaper to run too.

Is that where the money went Bob?

how does bob survive on K a week .... pittance

its all p@ssy at the end of the day i suppose.

lol nah never been married. im not the marrying type.

I wish I had a k a week, I'd retire.

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.

i know, im living the high life here at bob towers. got mini chicken kievs for me supper. only the best for me!

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.

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?

Only been to Sheffield a couple of times, nightclubs weren't on the agenda

Steady on old chap, some of my best friends are northerners.

Sorry, by your 0-20 post I assumed you lived in Sheffield.

No, I believe that Bob lives there. I live in Brum.

you obviously fancy me youre stalking me so much.

ive been in a pound shop once in my life so not sure what youre on about there. and no, i dont smoke. anything else youd like to know about me, ducky?

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

Oh, right.

to Foinavon.

Do you live near Sheffield Kenny, or was that in the past?

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.

it was in spar, which isnt a pound shop.

"Watch the pennies and the pounds take care of themselves."

It's close enough.

Think I'm off to bed.

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

KM
did you see my question on your Bradford fire thread?
(You may have answered and I may have missed it)

Can't remember, taxi. Will have a look now.

ah, it was Aunty Post's thread not mine.

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.

1% compared to the 22% population.

Blocked fire exit?
If so, disgraceful.
Did they go to court for compensation?

There's a pub in Ilford called The Bell.
If it's still under the management of Jack, an asian bloke who sounds like a cockney, whenever England play, he drapes a gigantic cross of St George flag over the whole front of the building. Place is heaving when big matches are on.

Asian Jack. Let me just check that fire exit bit.

Here you are, taxi.

Desperately sad reading.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_City_stadium_fire

There was a minute's applause in the 56th minute of  the Cup Final today, in remembrance of the 56 who died, which was nice.

Turnstiles and doors locked. Why ffs?
Years of accumulated rubbish under the seats, and never cleared up. If that was a factory, a visiting Fire Officer would have called in a Factory Inspector and closed the place down.
And fire extinguishers being removed because hooligan may use them is bollocks. If there are known hooligans in the crowd, ban them from the stadium. The extinguishers should  have been kept in place and chained to the wall, with Stewards holding padlock keys in case of emergencies.
Sounded like a shambles operation to me, and they paid the price for it.

Indeed, quite disgraceful.
