As we kept hearing about octogenarian friends and acquaintances at other practices having been offered (or already having had) appointments I sent an email at midnight last night saying that I was getting a bit worried. I had a reply this morning …

Chalk and Cheese @davecz. Alex Pattison is very much in the Ainsworth mould; Nick Freeman isn’t.

Lot of talk on LBC today about eligibility (eg for priority in the vaccine queue). Reminded me of how many people donkeys’ years ago used to refer to certain players being illegible to play in particular competitions.

Agree with that @mooneyman but he’d be in direct competition with Adeniran wouldn’t he?

Epitomises his quality, that clip. And hear hear to the good wishes.

@FmG said: I'm not saying he's as good BUT Eze was loaned to us in League 2, excelled and then went back to QPR's first team. Hopefully we'll see him shine whilst on loan and can come back a better player For all my admiration for Nick, h…

‘Rooting for’ someone or something used to be fairly commonplace.

I was too lazy to scroll back I’m afraid @perfidious_albion but I think it was your reference to a possible loan to a League 2 club that I was reacting to. I know others disagree but I think we have become much more of a passing on the deck team ov…

I’ve banged on many times about my admiration of Nick Freeman’s class and talent and, like @Shev, I’d be very disappointed to see him leave. Also agree very much with @drcongo’s comments above and I hope @bookertease is right about the possibility …

@HCblue said: “More or less” tends to work fine in its common usage given that less refers to a single quantity or entity. There is less sand on this beach than that one; there are fewer grains of sand on it. “More or less” usage tends not to off…

Victoria Wood, wasn’t it?

‘Used to’ obviously the key words there @drcongo. But I’m certain you were joking and I was going to start a “you didn’t, I did, you didn’t, I did” kind of exchange.
-
Thanks @AlanCecil. So presumably @Erroll_Sims’ discovery that he has access to the FA Cup game means that home Cup games are being treated in the same way as League games?
-
How long have you lived here for.

I think ‘suspended’ reflects the possibility that the match may not be played at a later date whereas ‘postponed’ implies that it will be.

Anyone irritated by eg “the main consideration is is whether they should continue ....”. Verbal tic now almost as rife as Covid.

He’d not be happy. 😟

Thanks @Lloyd2084. I dropped off! Missed Burley James becoming the first octochamp of the year. When I woke up, it was halfway through the recording of this afternoon’s show. Countdown is much refreshed by the arrival (temporarily at least) of…

Comparatives preceded by more shake my rigging - eg “he knows he should have done more better”. One which I think I have exclusive rights on is “we’ll help you as best we can”. There are no degrees of ‘best’. Should be “as well as we can”.

Just realised the ambiguity of that comment! Digging myself a hole there.

Just fallen in, Roland.

Lead as past tense of, well, lead. Led probably looks wrong to many folk as they’ve never red a book (as it were (.

I have internet radio but don’t know to listen to podcasts other than those like RTB where there’s a link to Spotify etc.

Whoops! I know I’m childish but I love Steve Wright. Platonically of course.

I paid my tenner on Wednesday @Erroll_Sims . Assume the credit will roll over to the next away game.

@drcongo said: I'm ambivalent with regards to James O’Brien @micra - he's well informed and extremely good at arguing with callers, which is huge fun when the callers are people you disagree with. But I also find him very convinced of his own imp…
-
I’m not sure how this reflects on me but I have recently been won over by an LBC phone in host - James O’Brien. No way can I aspire to the intellectual level of @drcongo and @HCblue (both gentlemen @bookertease) but, after initially hearing O’Brien…

Sorry about that. I’ve just spent half an hour on the Steve Baker thread and it was a truly mind altering experience.
