The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Haven't the government agreed to match every pound donated? Where's that magic money tree come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is at the bottom of the garden... I often tell the kids to go and give it a shake when they need something, like when they make those off the cuff comments like "Dad let's get a new shed" quickly followed by "Let's get some decking and Artificial grass as well" Yea, don't worry kids, I will just poo the money out my bumhole and we can go and buy all them things no worries... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be a reason they're asking for £20 Billy Bragg. They're raising money for charity, asking for money, not forcing someone on minimum wage to give their money over.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted June 10, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2018 After Liverpool fans, moths have to be the most annoying and pointless creatures on the planet. I swear that bastard fluttering around my ceiling every time I try and go to bed and hiding whenever I get up to sort him out is the 5th one that's made it's way in here this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho 2,210 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 My life is ridiculous sometimes. Score a hat trick from defensive mid, get a yellow card for saying to the ref "unbelievable" then get a second booking for my first foul, sent off at 3-2. Team losss 4-3. Now we face a relegation battle. Can't make this shit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,103 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 So on the weekend I got blackout drunk. The moment I woke up Sunday morning every single embarrassing and stupid moment from being drunk flashed before me like a slideshow; it became clear how pathetic it all seemed. It shook me to my core. I feel absolutely revolted by alcohol now. I don’t think I’ll drink for a long time, I feel like it was affecting my memory and whatnot. I have to get away from it. Anyway I applied to a bartender position, I have an interview on Tuesday, fingers crossed. I told the mrs today she should call her old friend. The friend actually called her. Anyway one of the mrs old boyfriends is dead, died of alcoholism. When she told me I burst out in laughter, it’s as if the universe is really helping me out. He died the same week from the very same thing I chose to give up! Haha, it may sound like I’m being a mean but all these coincidences are just too funny. Besides I have no empathy for a pathetic drunk anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn’t be the ones deciding what they’re willing to accept. It should free to give as much or as little as possible, especially given how much they’re requesting, which happens to be nearly three hours of pay for those on the national minimum wage. Imagine homeless fellas now saying they only accept anything in excess of a fiver, it’s just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine homeless fellas now saying they only accept anything in excess of a fiver, it’s just wrong. strongly agree with this. Why does it have to be £10 or £20? Why is it constrained to that? The celebs must have received a fee for appearing/playing yesterday - I would love to know how much of that they donated to the cause. And as for the actual players, especially Yaya Toure as he was the only one still a full professional (?), how much of their fees did they donate?

Guest Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 So somebody has offered me a job interview from a newspaper in Whitehorse. For those who don't know, Whitehorse is a city in northern Canada. I've been applying to places and applied to Whitehorse as a bit of a laugh, and now that I've got the offer I'm actually thinking about making the sacrifice. My journalism career would kick off from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Just now, Spike said: Do it. Can you work remote? What do you mean by work remote? I am thinking about the job. I'd have to cover football and husky sledding. Its one of the biggest papers in Yukon too, so it would really be kicking off my career. My only concern is it would be a big sacrifice as I don't know anyone in Yukon. I'm also worried about my anxiety. I have improved hugely on that and am not as anxious as I used to be, but given there are only 25,000 people there, it worries me a bit. At the same time, I know its the right place to go if I want to move forward. Its just a risk in terms of backup from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
