    I
    I’m not disputing that, but when you look around at protests etc, in Tarn alone, the average age of the these people must be around early 60s. I know through working with My Union a lot of work has and continues to be done to encourage the younger members to become more active. It’s not easy

    The last football related thread you started was 6 months ago. How have you got the cheek to complain that people aren't using the BBS in the manner that you wish them to when you can't be arsed to put the effort in to starting threads?

    This pensioner doesn't. I didn't work 51 years to throw the working class down the tube. I am proud to say I have served my fellow workers as an AUEW shop steward before I left Industry to go to Uni aged 31. I will always support the working classes and the young people we should have been improving working conditions for.

    Lets say you want some pork chops. You decide to go down the butchers because he sells meat. There you see a couple of chops you fancy then some bacon and why not a few sausages? It’s all going well until you notice on a shelf…. eggs. FFS! EGGS! NON-MEAT PRODUCTS IN A SHOP CLEARLY DEDICATED TO SELLING MEAT. You start kicking off at the butcher and smash the eggs onto the floor.


    And then you notice the cheese….

    If it were purely a football forum Nurse Gladys would never get to make an appearance.

    Nope. It's always, always been far more than a football forum. Since the original email list in the mid-90s, it's been the broadest of churches and all the better for it. Other Barnsley message boards are available.

    It depends on whether you want the chocolate doesn't belong in the fridge debate or not!

    It won’t be presented as ripping up workers rights though. It will be about ‘unleashing our potential.’ We’ve no longer got those work-shy foreigners holding us back with their namby-pamby rules. No! The great British worker will show Johnny Foreigner when they roll up their sleeves and work every hour God sends to put the Great back in Britain. And folk will still lap it up.

    Spot on, They’ll take from us and have us thanking them they didn’t take more. Commonly described in my workplace as ‘it could be worse’

    That's a blinding tune. I've dropped the Crazy P mix of this many a time in a funk / disco set.
