1. We've recruited well but which player do you believe will prove to be our best signing among the current crop (Saiz, Alioski, Pontus, etc) ?
The three you've named are all obvious stand-outs and leading players in the division, let alone our squad, but I would suggest Pennington. I know he's only on loan, but he looked class in the handful of games he played in the EPL a year ago and an Everton friend assures me they sold the show-pony to Man City (Stones) while keeping their thoroughbred safely in the stable and I trust his judgement.
2. What was your first ever holiday without your parents (with mates, partner, alone, whichever) ?
Of course add any stories.
With my parents :
Lyme Regis, two years running in '72 and '73 before my father died in 1974. I remember dragging him to the window of a toy shop just off the front where there was a cracking little display of all the cars and models surrounded by a simple looped train-track. Beneath the windowsill was a doorbell buzzer - the classic white button in a black housing - and if you pressed it, the train would go round the oval once.
Christ, the man must have been a saint because I pressed that thing for what seemed like hours
3. You have an Open ticket to any events at the Olympics for 3 days. which 3 different sports would you choose ?
Really not a fan, but I'd go for some kind of cycling thing at the velodrome, the football obviously and probably something ridiculous like trampolining.
On second thoughts, how about 3 days at the Women's Beach Volleyball ? :ugeek:
4. Whats the strangest reason you've split up with a GF or BF ?
Can I start a new thread for this one ??
We might be here a while ..
The most common reason is "she's a control freak !" and that's happened several times.
I don't get why women want to change the man they choose to go out with - why not pick someone you like in the first place ?
But that's not really weird ..
I went out with a hand model for a couple of months. She was really naughty and her hands were absolutely beautiful, but her face wasn't all that and she had an annoying voice.
I recently ducked out of going out with a girl whose nasally tones could only ever evoke Janet Street-Porter. Now, as much as I like the mad lefty bint - seriously, she's a very intelligent and amusing individual - I couldn't stand to listen to that grating, scraping, kid-learning-the-violin-esque chorus for long so I gave her a swerve. Lovely girl, just my type usually, but honestly I couldn't bear it after talking to her for an hour ..
5. Last 4 months we've named our all time best Leeds Utd teams made up of English, Scotttish, Welsh/Irish & Rest of World.
Which team (and why) would win a league type competition between the four ?
Scottish, without a shadow of a doubt.
The most talent and the most spirit. End of.
Nice questions, matey - well done !
