The Weekend Thread, watchaupto?
Friday night already, jeez, what a week!
No matter, the weekend is here, who is doing what?
Comments
Newcastle travel to Cardiff in the Premier League tomotoow. Is that the longest away trip in the Premier League, if not, what is?
Some cute match-ups, too, Man C v Everton, & Man U away to Sunderland. Last weekend BOTH the Manchester clubs lost, & the bookies all cheerred. Can it happen again?
Meanwhile, Palace are away to Liverpool. Cricket score likely here, with Suarez back, ready to huff & puff, or can Palace spring a surprisey thing?
In the horses, it is Arc weekend, highlighted by the Arc itself, with the Abbaye being a cracker often won by the invaders.
Arc fancies, then? Can Ocovango or Ruler of the World spring a surprise?
Who will your money be on, & why?
Super League Final, too, not much between Warrington & Wigan.
Do we have any Rugby League fans here, or anyone going to the game?
F1 travels to Korea of all placed this weekend, where Mr Vettel bids to seal his World Championship - I hope.
I've had a weird bet in this, being.....
Will there be a Safety Car - YES/NO
I've gone for......
YES
Bit harder then - the longest trip in the Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League1 & Sky Bet League 2?
Must involve Plymouth, surely?
Talking of Jeff, I actually bumped into him last week, also saw Chris Kamara in the canteen.
Anyone met someone famous, if so, who, where, when, what?
Please be selective with your answers, I don't wanna see this man's name appear......
Looks like the longest this season would be Plymouth - Hartlepool (386 miles according to the AA route finder). Plymouth to Carlisle, Newcastle or Sunderland would be slightly longer but they're not in the same division of course.
On a related note, on a non-league football forum I frequent, we were wondering about the longest journey faced in a County Cup - not a hypothetical one, but one that actually happened (and we exlcuded IOW teams travelling to Hampshire as an anomaly) the longest one I found was 86 miles. Have a guess as what county that was!
I just saw this on another forum, which made me smile.
How do you get rid of an unwanted Guest?
Hero invited them to 1pm Lunch, & they are still there at 6.30pm.
Some wag suggested "start talking about concrete & trains"......
What would YOU do?
I will probably be spewing chips whilst playing too many tables..........
Currently regged for......
Orfordable Deepstack - 7.10pm
Main Event - 8pm
Mini Event - 8.30pm
Magastack - 8.30pm
4K Bounty Hunter - 9pm
2K Re-buy Open 9pm
and it don't end there..........
2K Bounty Hunter 9.30pm
How can it get any better than this?
Getting rid of an unwanted guest is easily done. Text a friend telling them to ring you, you can then pretend it is some kind of family emergency i.e. It was your sister on the phone, her washing machine has flooded the kitchen, she didn't know who else to call and you are going straight round to help........the only downside to this plan is that you will probably have to leave the house to make it look real, but you could just nip to the shop for 10 mins then come back, I dunno!!!
Gone for Vettel hitting trips again... and also one of my 'comedy bets' (= small stake but lovely return possible!) involving Webber...
Enjoy the weekend all.
He was a fishing friend of a member at my local golf club and he came to open the new clubhouse.
There was an unusual golfing challenge set for the day:
Golfers v. Fishermen
The golfers would play as normal.
The Fishermen have a ball attached to their line and had to cast it up the fairway to the green.
Then both would use putters on the green.
Really interesting game over 9 holes!
Guess who won?
(if my memory serves me right Sky had some cameras there too).
However a simple grasp of welsh geography means Newcastle v Swansea has to be a longer trip than Cardiff.
First time entry for the Edit: Oops meant Orfordable D/stack today
Might be up for some PLO8 later
Unfortunately much of the w/e will be spent on the motorway and in hospital visiting my wife
We (wife + 2 boys and I) were strolling along the quayside generally admiring the harbour, super-yachts and looking for somewhere we could afford to eat when my wife spots Freddie sitting on a wall with his daughter in a buggy while his wife had popped into a shop.
I approached him with my 2 lads and he was an absolute gent - shook my hand and let me take a picture with 2 boys.
The first thing he said to me was "nice shirt mate"
moments like that you know will remember for as long as the brain cells are functioning - the amazing part was that Freddie remembered it.
This was the summer of 2005 in the gap between 2nd and 3rd ashes tests. Freddie had taken a break and in his autobiography he referred to being surprised to "meet a bloke in a Preston North End shirt"
