After the West Ham 2-0 game that sealed it.. Pop Robson running round on his lap of honour and young some pup badgering him for his trainer! Was on the centenary video I think just pure class! (Don’t think he parted with it though.. no freebies in them days)!

That’s the second fresh fish fish you’ve thrown in. In response to your earlier baked fish comment I put plans in place for monkfish, mussel and king prawn in garlic and white wine sauce for a weekend gathering g. This takeover has made me well posh (skint).
Living like a multi billionaire with holes in the arse of my undercrackers. Could be a metaphor for our future.

It’s getting a tad deranged on here now. Cabin fever probably.
I think at 22:00hrs GMT we should all go out for a ten minute stroll, get some fresh air, look up at the moon and stars and admire their glory, ponder both our and the takeovers insignificance in comparison to the universes sheer unending vastness. Just for ten minutes. Then come back in for another 2million views.
Waddya say?

I forgot the oakum or cord as it was described the shipwrights did the woodwork decking the caulkers did the steel.

re double bottoms, I was working as an apprentice on one of the shire boats at doxfords when i think it was 6 lads died in the shaft tube (part of the double bottoms from a fire started by a burner cutting torch, as apprentices we all hated one job, cabling the lighting system in the DB access tunnels. if you want more info !!!!!! even in the 60s boys were 'used'

A tough job, Mr C. Shipbuilding generally. And coal mining, steel works, arl the traditional industries of the region. Character building, too.
 
Just been pushing people for something to post that would indicate progress.

The following, from someone well connected, is typical of the responses.

Sorry but this is the best I can do.

“There definitely seems to be something going on that’s connected with the takeover as the whole club is so bloody quiet and non commital.
It’s like waiting for an explosion that you know is coming and can’t stop, to go off!"
