I was always mouse to my late brother, whatever the occasion or company. Used to get a bit embarrassed in my younger days - he was 10 years older than me - but happy that one of his daughters has carried on the tradition. I’m the mouse that roars (of course).
Origin, apparently, was that my brother came home from school one day in 1939 and, in a sinister Valentine Dyall voice, slowly intoned “the mice are here for you”. I apparently crawled rapidly across the floor, finishing up under the kitchen table. I learned decades later that my mother (who died when I was 4) used to call me “Mickey” so the mouse tag was probably inevitable.
1) Can't think where you got the idea that I belong to any "private members club"?
2) It really isn't beyond the imagination to think that the sort of places a wealthy man haunts would lead a lady to think, "he must have money" to go in there? 🤔
I cupid have played for Jack Charlton's' Ireland, with the exception of on thing. In the words of Sir Trevor Brookings' right hand man, I had not an ounce of talent! 🤷♂️
Watching Southampton-Leicester and it should already be about 4-2 to Leicester (instead of 2-0), with mistake after mistake from both teams. Russell Martin may not last long considering the Saints were hammered 5-0 by Sunderland last time out. They pass it out from the back worse than Rochdale!
I am struggling with why Russell Martin has been rising up the job ladder. None of his teams have actually achieved anything other than passing records (MK Dons strung together a British record number of passes before a goal - 56 - at one point) and midtable finishes.
Strangely when Mrs W was involved in child protection in both Wycombe and Aylesbury a lot of the blended families on some estates with partners regularly swopping about and having kids with new partners while not moving too far away from the pubs they all frequented she felt it was only a matter of time before the gene pool became alarmingly shallow. Perhaps along with imperial measures and blue passports that is all part of the return to the good old days we were promised.
The mighty Sunderland 1 0 down against a ten man Ainsworth outfit, bet they thought they had left that behind. Should be some fun comments if it stays like that.
Brighton are madness. Doesn't seem to matter who manages them, who they sell or who they have out, they remain a heck of a ball playing attack dominated side.
Was just thinking this myself. Had a season at Franchise, then takes the Swansea job, finishes mid-table twice and manages to bore a fan-base completely used to possession play, and now this fuss. He must interview extremely well

I could play for England or Wales but my children could play for England or the USA.
I agree with the @StrongestTeam…Aeroplanes are responsible for all of this!
125 years ago you had to marry someone from your village/town. Not any more!
Probably a good thing @Forest_Blue six finger gloves are getting hard to find even online.
Still looking, @Wendoverman ? 🫢
You have something in common with my cat, being both polydactyl
Your cat is a dinosaur?!
It's a Brontosaur-puss
Must be a Jacob Rees mog
Brilliant!
Sorry. Thought that would be normal emoji size!

Bloody hell, it's copy and paste-gate all over again

You know that's not a mouse?
Just checking as I understand things can look a little different on a tiny iPhone screen, 🤣

Leicester playing Soton off the park
I watched the pasting they got from Sunderland. Abject is probably the best adjective.

23% possession in first half!
QPR 1 Sunderland 2.
I know Man Utd are pants, but Brighton really do continue to amaze. We've seen a genuine force emerge.
Spurs come from 1-0 down to beat Sheffield United with goals in the 98th and 101st minutes
That's not very spursy
The latest winning comeback in Premier League history. It couldn't be less Spursy if they tried!
Suspect it's not the only time McBurnie has made a tit of himself and his team have subsequently lost
Blimey! I should have spotted that as it more or less filled the whole screen. I intended this. Hope that’s a mouse.
Cheltenham still haven’t scored a goal. Extraordinary.
