I must admit to being not very technically -minded, but does anyone know whether this is possible?

If telephone wires pass near a lunatic asylum, could one of the poor inmates manage to " hack" into threads like this and cause "interference"?

Just that I noticed some absolute gibberish often appears on threads that bear the name "VDW".

Is there some kind of fatal attraction like for flies round shit, or, like the way big Mac attracts other headers who do their utmost to interrupt or make twats of themselves behind him?

Just something we have to live with, I suppose.
No problem, really.

Black Cat

get me on that results list

Oh dear that means i'll soon be catching JohnD up.Still got 2 more abusive posts to make yet though.

Seanrua
I TOTALLY agree with you.B.C has tried to bring something to the vdw thread (bless him) but like you say (B.C excluded) there are now far too many twats.

make that 50%

still 50 more than Investor

stop swearing Investor, it usually denotes someone with little intellect...then again

Rule 10 Deductions

Rule 10 states:
Personal abuse to be kept on the other threads. In the event, 1 pt deductions may be made by the self-appointed moderator of this particular thread (i.e. me)!!!!!

The abusive posts referred to by Investor are on the main thread I believe, not on this one.

I intend to keep it that way (if I can).
Saturday & Sunday results and leaderboard to follow later.

Back from the blue…

I went for my annual pilgrimage to Stamford Bridge yesterday. We only go once or twice each year, but of the last 5 visits since I started taking my younger son to watch, we have scored 23 and conceded just 4. (Bolton 5-1, Spurs 4-0, Man City 5-0, Wolves 5-2, Palace 4-1). I think Roman should pay us to be there every week!

Seanrua’s ew selection that ‘placed’ made a profit, and I am therefore counting it as a ‘win’ for SR.

Entertainment Trivia: Who wrote What’s it all about, Alfie? Good effort Johnd, but Dad’s not right this time according to my information, it was Hal David & Burt Bacharach

Not entertainment this time, but just a great quote.

The correct answer to yesterdays trivia was provide by Boozer.

Today’s trip down memory lane is…
When down Paradise Row, who sat on the doorstep?

BC You must be at least 80 years old

Nellie and Joe?

Correct. Well done that man!

That is, I mean "correct" with the question, not "correct" on me being at least 80 years old.

From the song "On Mother Kelly's door step" (altogether now) :



On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
Down Paradise Row.
I sit alonga Nellie,
She sits alonga Joe.
She's got a little hole in her frock,
Hole in her shoe,
Hole in her sock
Where her toe peeps through,
But Nellie was the smartest down our alley.

On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
I'm wondering now
If little girl Nellie
Remembers Joe,
Her beau,
And does she love him like she used to
On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
Down Paradise Row?
