      My memory's not what it used to be.

        Other than that, why the attempted wind up as the thread attempts to return to civility?

        Zzzzzzzz

        Edit: the football thread is probably the best natured discussion on this forum,as it goes.

              Wind up?
              Nope.... I dislike football nearly as much as DoG



              Spare us the nonsense about football lifting poor people out of poverty
              I thought it was supposed to be boxing that did that ?

              If it's R3 then it's more likely to be "Darby and Joan"

                So would a self-reinforcing bubble car be the Popemobile or the Pope him or herself?

                  Not the right sort of opportunity I guess?
                  Perhaps you could spare me the wind ups and condescension.

                  Because it is really bloody tedious, and nobody gives a damn about whether you like football or not . If you hate it so much, I'd stop talking about it if I were you.

                      I hardly ever mention it

                      I wasn't taking this whole thing seriously at all

                        Interesting the unexpected things that can touch raw nerves. For me football would be a matter of strong feelings of loyalty were it still as I remember it when my father took me by the hand to see the really local team playing at Stamford Bridge, as a small boy.

                          Ah, the old," I wasn't serious " response.


                          If it looks like a wind up, and sounds like a wind up, it probably is a wind up.

                          ( Couldn't care less who likes and doesn't like football,or what people who don't like it think about people who do. ).

                            Perhaps the Forum is a collection of suds, rather than a bubble?
