  1. At least it gives you time to get your nails trimmed and cleaned.
  2. Whoever it was did a cracking job. He will be doing the write up for Seamus.
  3. These threads are always brilliant. Can't be long until the first resignation.
  4. The statement below is from the forum rules. Religous Prejudice - Addendum added 31st October 2008 There has been much comment in the media, and indeed on these forums about the use of religious prejudice in Scottish Society, and of particular relevance to us on this forum, where this seeps into the fabric of our favourite national sport.To clarify the position in Scots Law with regard the use of religious prejudice note the following revised sections of Scots Criminal Law;Section 74 (2) specifies that an offence is aggravated by religious prejudice if;A. at the time of committing the offence or immediately before or after doing so, the offender evinces towards the victim (if any) of the offence, malice or ill-will based on the victim's membership (or presumed membership) of a religious group, or of a social or cultural group with a perceived religious affiliation; or B. the offence is motivated (wholly or partly) by malice and ill-will towards members of a religious group, or of a social or cultural group with a perceived religious affiliation, based on their membership of that group. In real terms these offences do not need to be verbal. They apply to written form as well and of course this affects Pie and Bovril members. You can see a real life example of the sort of thing that can happen by reviewing this article which reports on an offender being charged with committing a "racially aggravated breach of the peace" for wearing a t-shirt which had the words "dirty horrible ****" written on it. Thus, in order to protect ourselves, and you our members, I thought it necessary to eliminate any grey areas which currently exist in the forum policy. With immediate effect the use of religiously prejudicial terms including but not limited to terms like "***", "tim", "*****", "*****", "******" and the like will not be tolerated on these forums. We will use a filter to catch most of these terms before they are posted however we are aware that a large number of ways exist to circumvent that filter so for clarification any posts made that include these sorts of terms, and any posts made which indicate a religious prejudice on the forum will be removed by the moderators and the posters issued with warnings. Further subsequent warnings will result in a permanent ban from the board.Similarly if we are approached by any criminal authority relating to any post made on the board we will provide IP and email details to assist with any investigation that arises as a result of any post made on the board.If you see a post on the forum you are unhappy with and you think contravenes this policy please raise it via the complaints forum and it will be dealt with as quickly as we can. Remember we have several thousand posts made here every day and it is impossible for us to read and approve every one. Self policing will help us make the forum a better place to be. Please treat this policy with respect, enjoy Pie and Bovril, enjoy the banter with your fellow football fans, but don't bring religious prejudice onto the forums of P&B.
  5. Certainly providing a convincing argument to get everyone to visit his Hearts forum of choice
  6. http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php/topic/208002-farting-in-public-places/ Some quality stories in that thread.
  7. Akpo Sodje is Fraser Fyvie SSI is Alan Stubbs Grass is Greener is Lewis Stevenson Sol aka Doyle is David Gray Lochend Brazil is James Keatings HTH
  8. I seem to recall Mr X. made it perfectly clear what would happen with this thread if it was derailed again.
  9. I wonder what will be finished first? Your refit of the boat or the completion of the Sagrada Familia. It should be a close run thing.
  10. Unfortunately Sam Robson just doesn't appear to have it. His technique isn't great and he has gotten worse as the summer has progressed. Hales would be an opener who would most closely resemble Banger in playing style and would be worth a try. On the Ali debate I feel that he really has to work hard on his game over the coming few months as although his bowling has been a great bonus he is primarily a batsmen and needs to improve, though he is worth persevering with. At least the test summer has finished with a great deal of promise for the future, especially considering how things looked a few months ago.
  11. Halliwell was with Sauchie Juniors for the last couple of seasons. Reasonable experienced keeper as a back up.
  12. Bloody hell they built the QE2 quicker than you have done this refit. Your 38 mate, that counts as middle aged
  13. More importantly sailor, when is the middle aged boys day out?
  14. Bet you don't even have a cat of nine tails? Captain? Midshipman more like
  15. Indeed, however the tinkering and over coaching had already started prior to him becoming a persistent offender. If he plays I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.
  16. Steven Finn is potentially a fantastic cricketer. The poor treatment of him is similar to what Jimmy Anderson got in the early part of his England career, where they over coached him and fannied about with his action until he lost all rhythm and confidence, Finn's pace and extra bounce will made all the difference to this England attack. No disrespect to guys like Rankin, Plunkett and Jordan but Finn is at a different level to them. I hope the time away has allowed him to regain the confidence and action that made him so dangerous in the first place. Now that Stuart Broad is carrying injuries and is not so prolific a wicket taker a rejuvenated Finn is what England need. So what he goes for a few, but Broad can more than hold up an end and keep it tight. Good to see him back,
