We've had some very respectful disagreements of opinion on here. That does not mean that we couldn't be friends. I've said it before lockdown and I mean even more now. I'd love to meet up before a game in a pub of your choosing in town and I will buy you both a beer and we will toast that more unites us than divides us. Who knows, we might play nice and become friends or just go MEH and never see each other again. If you accept, I'll look forward to it.
Always up for a free beer mate Never fell out with anyone on here where I wouldn’t be civil and friendly outside the board .
Yep, that's my philosophy Marlon. Wouldn't say anything on a forum I wouldn't say in person. When we are back at games, I'll buy you a pint mate. Btw. My hobby is collecting and trading watches and I am on lots of watch forums. They are generally good humoured but the forum on military watches is something else. If you think we can fall out, put a photo of a watch on there and make some spurious claim of military heritage, stand back and enjoy the fireworks.
...erm, sorry to intrude, but er...if Mr Mullet doesn’t accept, will the free beer offer be extended to an alternative poster whose pseudonym is an ex players hair do? Asking for a friend...er, Jim Dobbin’s Pubes. Doesn’t post much. He’s dead shy like...
Cheers mate. Sounds an interesting and worthwhile hobby tbh but expensive I’ll bet . Never had an hobby per se only watching Reds and at one time collecting programmes . Like my History though and watch and read a lot about past time’s recent and ancient . Got into politics through NUM days but never really followed through any meaningful engagement through it but met some very interesting and well known and some not well known people who shaped ourHistory one way or another .
Ha ha, yours is a good name too but I'd heard jim Dobbin liked to visit Brazil if you catch my drift so I doubt the validity of that one. I'd previously offered to buy Marlon a pint cos we disagree on virtually everything , apart from bfc and Northern soul but he's obviously a gent and we'd get on. Of course I'd buy you a pint aswell. If I'm buying three it would have to be in 'spoons mind.
Bizarrely it nearly got me in a punch up in Sheffield a couple of months ago. Mrs and me in brown's and I got talking to four blokes at next table. They were blades, looked and talked like ex-bbc. They started out ok but we're a£ses after a bit. One of em had a Rolex Daytona on and his mates were ribbing him it was a fake. He made fun of my breitling and handed me his watch to look at. I took great delight in telling him why it was a fake. He recovered a bit cos he obviously thought it was real and as I was leaving a bit later he insulted my suit and offered to take me outside which I laughed off. Made my night.
Mate, Marlon said he was a miner, not a minor. LoL. I'm intrigued what exactly anybody would be hoping for trying to groom a middle aged ex-miner.
Absolute brilliant mate regarding your miner/minor quip. I almost pissed myself. Marlon is a sound guy. Met him a few times and enjoyed a drink in his company. He is a very passionate supporter of the mining community. Top man.
Yep. I've done some research and found a village in Lincolnshire called little eckington that doesn't have any covid restrictions. There isn't a pub but there is a cattery. Maybe if the conversation in the ploughed field falls flat we could let the cats out and have fun trying to heard them back in.
