The Hallucinating Goose

Well this England women's performance is ####### dreadful...

What a game this PSG - Bayern tie has-been! One of the best I've seen in a long time!!

The positive with that though is they won't need floodlights for the evening matches so their energy bills will be lower. There's loads of great articles about stadiums on that site, I follow them on Facebook.

They're all excrement.

Fun fact: the reason the plural of Goose is geese but Moose is not meese is because Goose derived from an ancient Germanic word undergoing strong declension in the pattern of foot/feet or tooth/teeth where we see oo mutated to ee. However, Moose is a Native American word added to the English lexicon only around 400 years ago and so hasn't had the time to be mutated in the same way. This means that in another few centuries the plural of Moose could well become Meese.

Union, 3-0 Oz, hopefully. Us, 3-0 England, hopefully. Cricket, 3-2 England, but don't really mind.

I've been looking for something new to watch. I'm looking for something lighthearted. I've seen My Mad Fat Diary called a comedy-drama, is that worth a watch?

Is it gonna be as set up as it was before?

I can't even remember what I was on about!

Was coming on here to post this myself. Didn't realise he was 67 but when you think about it, its over 30 years since he was in Tarantino's first films. Always enjoyed watching him. Real shame.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned on a different thread but if not, 2600 safe standing places have been created in the north-east corner of the MKM Stadium, to be used by both home and away fans. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8rpyzv8526o

I have just been talking to a teenager waiting at the bus stop outside my work that has never been on a bus before... that is the world we live in now; there are people that have never been on a bus.

I chose the Hong Kong Stadium because it is in the foothills of the mountains on Hong Kong Island and so has a nicer setting than next to a port like the new stadium. My choice's location also means that after taking in the game in the afternoon, i can do the specific lifetime bucket list task that I want to do more than anything in the world which is walk to the top of Victoria Peak and look out over Kowloon Bay in the evening to take in the hundreds of lit up tower blocks and skyscrapers, and all the boats in Kowloon Bay and the general hustle and bustle of one of the great world cities as the sun sets over all of that.

I've seen 3 different people in 3 different England shirts this morning, in the half hour I was sat in Hull Interchange waiting for my bus. Is there an international on at the MKM that I don't know about? Just walked into my work and a guy was coming out in a GB shirt! Whats going on with all these international shirts?!

If you read the live updates on BBC says it says that the Spanish Guardia have announced, the tyre blew on his lamborgini while overtaking another car, which caused him to lose control, crash and burst into flames. His brother was also killed. It happened in Zamora. Edit. In fact, just read what @Damien has posted above.

It really shows the great gulf in wages between football players and other sports doesn't it? You'll get a championship footballer driving round in a Ferrari, and a Super League RL player driving round in a 20 year old Corsa..!

That's a horribly sad thing to read about. I feel so sorry for his family.

My lifetime number one bucket list place to visit is Hong Kong so I would love to see a game played at the Hong Kong Stadium. England v Australia in a neutral venue Ashes test, with the other two tests of the series played in England and Australia.

If you could choose any stadium, anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? And a bonus question, what game would you like to be played there?

A very positive start to preseason sees the Beavers beat the Seasiders 2-1!

The first preseason friendly of the season tonight as Beverley Town take on Bridlington at the Beverley Leisure Centre!

My doctor told me that my body has run out of magnesium. My reaction: 0mg!!!

Just seen a misplaced apostrophe in a shop sign! How hard is it to learn where to put them ffs?!! "Watson's Barber's"... what possession of the barber of your acquaintance, Watson, are you referring to? What possession of Watson's barber is so important that you need to put a sign up?? Try completing your sentences!!

Imagine the scene. I am sat in Hull Interchange waiting for my bus to my caretaking job. I am wearing a Hull FC hoody and I've just been talking to a KR fan about the proposed development around Craven Park. I am drinking a bottle of cheap water from a discount supermarket and eating two steak and ale pies from the local Bakery. I am a true working-class, northern Goose! 🪿
