Gone?
He's certainly done a great job of making latter day Reagan look like he was in full control of his marbles since he got the top job.

........and Art, if you rekindle your love of knitting, I'll have a Forest scarf please mate  I'll bear it in mind. I did try a scarf before and one end was about twice the width of the other... I'm going to take this opportunity to plug the Forest Forum quiz which is still going here Why not register, join in, and see if you can finish second  |

Done, I was expecting football questions. I got one wrong which was a surprise. |

You took your time there. I should mention it's against the clock It's a different topic each day, science today. Shame there's no football one but I didn't set it up, I can't remember who it was, was back in the Talk Forest days..... |

I was busy reading about Trump suggesting people could inject themselves with disinfectant at the same time which was kind of distracting. Maybe he isn't really the kind of looney that we perceive him to be and really he's a double agent trying to rid the country of stupid people.

I'm not 100% convinced America is a real place. If it came out it was all just a big satire that all media went along with I'd just be "Oh, yeah that makes sense. I should have realised".
Anyway, I'm going to make up for the lack of football quiz questions with the following questions that were on the radio the other day. I'm a little suspicious the third one hasn't happened more than once but I'll take their word for it and ask...
1: Which outfield player has started the most consecutive Premier League games?
2: Only one player has scored a hat trick in both matches against the same opponents in the same Premier League season? Who is it and who did they score the hat trick against?
3: Only one side has played a game using 14 players all making their Premier League debut. Who was it?

No idea on the first one, I misread the question and spent five minutes thinking the player who played the mose consecutive games must be a goalkeeper but couldn't figure out which. No doubt it's somebody completely obscure I can't remember Ferguson rotating much, probably a defender. Irwin. 2, I'm going to take a punt on Shearer vs Forest. 3, I'm going to go with Bournemouth or Burnley. Burnley.
Just Googled no.1 and he was the first name that popped in my head. Damn this second guessing!
No.2 Wrong again! Who it was would never have occurred to me.

I'd guess Gareth Barry for the first one, seem to remember he beat some sort of record?
Andy Cole vs Ipswich. He got a few at Portman Road at least.
Three is a toughie. Total guess at Barnsley

OK, the answers are....
1. When I first heard it I thought 'must be Lampard' then thought about it and decided it was Gareth Barry. It is Lampard.
2. I was sure it was Suarez against Norwich but that was over two seasons. It's Emmanuel Adebayor, against Derby. I suppose it was gettable in that there's one obvious team so much worse that any other Premier League team so it's probably going to be them. And it was.
3. It's Reading. It must be the Steve Coppell side of Shorey, Sakho, Sidwell, Kitson, Lita etc.

I'm taking next to sod all notice of this "Stay at home" malarkey. My rules. Stay 2m away from me..dont cough or sneeze near people..dont touch anything that you don't know where it's been and wash your hands regularly. We have 2 grandkids over two..three times a week as we've been blessed with nice weather. They live in a flat, so I set up the paddling pool and stay out of their way and let them play. They don't go in the house per se as we have a downstairs toilet by the back door. We all play it safe as much as possible.

After 20 years of standing there pushing a button all day they have trained up a chimpanzee to take over LVIV’s replacement at the foundry makeagif.com/gif/drinking-bird-the-simpsons-AnSME7Lads if you get a chance - google needlemakers ilkeston and look at the pictures (I can’t work out how to post pictures on here) The fucking whoppers in there - honestly it is the biggest bunch of misfits you have ever seen. They had to get rid of the pool table because the locals kept eating the chalk It shut down once before and if nothing else hopefully this COVID 19 will shut it down once and for all |

It looks like you would catch aids just by going into the needlemakers, what a hole.
Surprised it wasn't closed down by the health inspectors a long time ago

On the topic of disclaimers being put at the front of everything now, which I don't really care about in that I'll watch anything but if somebody is likely to be bothered by something, then it's better to have a warning not to watch it rather than them complaining about what they've seen for the next five years. But like a lot of things that are knocking about right now, you're never quite sure if it's satire or real... www.buzz.ie/entertainment/netflix-pulls-episode-of-community-with-blackface-scenes-in-it-375973 |
