  1. Glad to be of help Michael.

     

    To answer the question about the trailer. The scene in the office was filmed in the BBC Sport offices at BBC studios at white city in London. The scene at the revolving door was the main doors to white city studios, and the scene chasing the bus was on the street behind the studios. There is a large housing complex across the road and all the people were out watching us, but you couldnt see them as the bus blocked the view.

     

    Very fun weekend down there though to film it.

  2. Weddings are great appearances. The best ones are when the Groom is a Latics fan and his mates have invited me along without clearing it with his new wife first. She stands there looking well annoyed that her new hubby is ignoring her and jumping round the dance floor with a 7 foot owl. :lol:

     

    I did one once thought where the bride and groom insisted i joined them in the first dance. That was VERY strange :shock:

  3. Glad i went playing golf then last night with Beardy and Mike. Got a text whilst on the 10th tee which i read out to them that said "0-0 at half time. Not really created anything. They hit the post half way through first half but that failed to motivate us! :angry: Dont know why i bother sometimes".

     

    Beardy said "who was that off?"

     

    I said "Dave Penney" :lol:

     

    Beardy and Mike pissed themselves laughing much to the annoyance of the guy teeing off on the next tee to us :blink:

     

    Just glad i didnt waste 6 hours of my life watching that last night by the accounts i got.

  4. I'm sure that we were told it was down to £10-15 grand a month not long ago.

     

    £40,000 a month isn't far from what we were said to be losing under Chris Moore.

     

    When TTA took over the club was losing close to £45k per week from the Chris Moore era. I was told they were losing £15k per week about 2 years ago but have since brought it down further to £10k per week.

  5. The Scandals pizzas! I'd forgotten about them!! Nearly as good as the burger van that parked over the road in the Jo Jos years. We invented some weird and wonderful concoctions there, just to see how many diffeent things you could get on one double burger... :grin:

     

    You could never beat the "hoggies" hotdogs outside Mr Smiths in Warrington. Had many of those down my shirt whilst barely able to walk. I just remembered the pizzas from Scandals, only other thing i remember was walking up to my girlfriend from behind and gropping her bum whilst "sexy dancing" behind her. As you can guess, i was bladdered and i dont know who was more upset about it, the girl i had mistaken for my girlfriend, her boyfriend stood about 5 steps away, or my girlfriend who was just walking back from the toilets to the sight of me gropping some girls arse with her boyfriend looking on. I loved my teeneage years :lol:

     

    Jesus! There were some really dodgy clubs in Oldham. The other ones I remember frequenting (And Deejaying in some):

    There were a few more, but they were the ones that stood out.

     

    Was Dino's the one on Rock st that used to sell the big 2 pint glasses of german beer? I was only tiny until i was 17 and could very easily have gone for a swim in one of them glasses.

  6. I spoke to Dean before the game on Saturday, he is absolutely gutted to be injured but he has been told he will be out for 6-8 weeks. He was trying to explain to me what exactly he has done, but not being a doctor it went straight over my head but it was something about the things between your vertibrae in your spine that was causing the problem, they had moved out of place slightly or summat i think he said.

  7. Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping

     

     

    This letter was actually sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford :

     

     

    Dear Mrs. Murray,

     

    Whilst we would like to thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics..

     

    Below is a list of his actions over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

     

    1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.

     

    2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

     

    3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.

     

    4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

     

    5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

     

    6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

     

    7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

     

    8.. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

     

    9. October 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the

    antidepressants were.

     

    10. November 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible' theme.

     

    11.November 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels.

     

    12. November 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'

     

    13. November 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'

     

    And; last, but not least:

     

    14. November 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.'

     

     

  8. The Reebok is nowhere near 12 miles from where Burnden Park was situated. I'd be surprised if it was even half that distance.

     

    Also misses the point that, as they were aiming to challenge for the top half of the PL, they didn't build a ground with a lower division capacity.

     

    Burnden Park to Reebok stadium is 10.3 miles if you go there on the M61. Not that far off 12 miles i suppose.

  9. Jesus wept, Scandals.

     

    My first ever night club i went in.....at 15 years old after attending my cousins wedding day at teh blue rooms in Royton. My sisters boyfriend lent me his driving license and i had about 15 minutes to remember his name and DOB even though i had only met him once before, forget the fact that i only looked about 12 when i was 15. :lol:

     

    Those Pizza's they used to do in that doorway inside the club were brilliant, why dont they do that in Envy and Liquid now?
