    She looks so beautiful, it was a happy and yet sad moment - to see her rotting like this - it's a bloody crime - I wish between Heathrow and British Airways they would bring her inside and put her on display IN the terminal!

    Once upon a time: The Concorde. I saw her once at JFK and was surprised how small she is.

    The League Cup was once known as the ''Giant Killers Cup''. I have a vague memory of a player named Don Rogers who I think played for Swindon Town putting in a few in the final against a top side. ( I can't remember who)..

    Yep, giant killing is the big fun in Cup competitions. Last season we had a third league club in the quarter finals. Everyone cheered them up.

    Sponsored by a Thai energy drink company, It has been called various names: The Milk Cup, The Carling Cup, The blah cup. My hope is that one day it will be called "The Cannabis Sativa Cup" :D

    I raise a glass of Pimm's Cup to that

    Nothing against the dim one at all. He was tremendous for us. Always found his interviews, how can i put it, enlightening. A laymen would never believe he was a native Englishmen at all, as his command of our great language was always a treat for the PC education brigade. Then again he does have a lot of money and married to a "model" but lives in an atrociously designed mansion in a part of Cheshire that us Mancunians would really like North Korea to nuke.  

    Well, I liked Rooney as a player. He looks very sturdy but had great technical skills.

    Good heavens, what has Cheshire done to you? For me, the English -shires sound pastoral, but that's a wrong impression, I suppose. It's not Middle-earth ...

    It's far too complicated to explain. Basically, excluding the Premier League, top 2 teams are promoted to the higher leagues and the next 4 teams are in a play off. There are 3 leagues and one non league league. The non league sides only 1 are promoted. Bottom 2 or 3 sides are relegated to lower leagues. Simple

    After the Euro leagues it's back to normal this weekend. We are entertaining Everton who have the fat boy and serial drink driver Rooney in their side. He will get a good reception at Old Trafford but expect songs relating to his liking to "play away"

    :hysterical:

    I like Wayne Rooney, especially his Mini-me on Special 1 TV

    What a game that was. Best game of footie I've ever been to. Check this out - my wife got it for me for my 40th - ticket, programme, passport visa etc

    You saw that game live in Istanbul?????    :notworthy:
    How did you survive that? I almost got a heart attack watching it on TV.

    What an affectionate gift from Mrs. Xolo!

    Liverpool have never won the Prem unfortunately . The really good days are long gone. At least they have won Big Ears five times, a feat unequaled by any other British Club, eighteen pre-prem league titles is not to bad either,...

    The 2005 CL Final was nerve-wracking. What a game and a great win by Liverpool. And a shocking discovery: English sides can win penalty shootouts :ohmy:

    My girlfriend was out trimming in the yard and this guy showed up. They are so tame with no fear of humans. They walk in a bouncy motion.  :)

    Friday evening and it's spicy !!

    A Beef Rendang. This classic dish is so fantastic I count it as my all time favourite curry. This is the Malaysian version as opposed to Indonesian.

    First make a paste:

    Fresh Coconut is grated and dry fried until browned. With this make a paste with Kashmiri chillies (dried) garlic,coriander seeds,cumin seeds,onions,fresh ginger and mild red chillies (fresh), water

    Fry stewing beef and add the paste, coconut milk,Kaffir lime leaves,cinnamon sticks and fresh lemon grass. When boiling add tamarind water and cook for 2 1/2 hours.When nearly ready stir. This will thicken the curry

    When almost done add palm sugar and serve with rice but I will have Roti. I sometimes do a cucumber salad but not this time

    This is a hot,spicy truly wonderful dish which bursts with flavour.

    Some vanilla Ice cream and berries to sooth the taste buds for afters

    Wines and green to round off.

    CP, that sounds soooooo delicous. Can you please offer it on Deliveroo? I would like to order it :flying:

    Thanks for the recipe. Where do I get tamarind water from? Chinese Supermarket? I had a Duck Panang Curry for lunch. My favorite Thai Curry.

    Last week Duck Spring Rolls were on your menue - I am famous for my self cooked Spring Rolls :gimmefive:

    Black Uhuru were one of the acts I remember from Glastonbury in 1982. They were magnificent. 

    Not seen the Super Cup but Ronaldo spent most of the time on the bench. Premier league starts this weekend. We can look at the possibles at the end of the week?

    Glastonbury in 1982, that must have been a terrifc weekend.

    So, PL starts. I hope Manchester will be red and Mkhitaryan shows what a wonderful player he is. How tall are ManU's players? At the Super Cup even Cristiano looked small between them.

    I'm worried about Huddersfield and Brighton & Hove Albion? Are they able to win games?

  10. For weeks I was looking forward to the concert, but the Stones were awful. The sound in the stadium was awful, too.
    J. Geils Band played there as well, along with 2 German acts. They were ok, but I would have liked to see Black Uhuru.
    Wow, 35 years ...
     
    And now for something completely different: CR7 vs. Pogba

    What stadium would that be?

    RheinEnergieStadion, Cologne, Germany.
    Formerly known as Müngersdorfer Stadion, where I saw the Rolling Stones live in 1982.
