14t1c5 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Our local MP and the Government "Floods Minister" (do we still have a Minister for Drought ?) compares the prospect of Norfolk flooding with Latics winning the European Cup. On the basis that everything the Government says is generally way off the mark, we could all be off to the continent in twelve months, and if you live in Norfolk you'd better get yourself a canoe ! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/7493887.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasmanian_Devil Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hmmm, conveniently there was no time frame mentioned on said European triumph. Therefore if I were living in one of those villages I'd feel confident that it wasn't going to flood for at least 4 years as that's the earliest we could achieve this enormous undertaking. But after that, who knows what could happen - especially once his Ginger Greatness, Sir Paul Scholes joins to conduct our midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 isnt it possible to get into the european cup by winning the fa cup? meaning we could be crowned champs in as little as 2 years? No we have to be the fourth best team in the country for that to happen. Phil while your here Your walk and that last leg from Hayfield to Oldham are you walking through Glossop.

OldhamSheridan Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Right Honourable Gentleman is a complete knobhead.

ritchie82 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Right Honourable Gentleman is a complete knobhead. Remember his election pamphlets proclaiming himself as a Man United fan................knob He might be but he did stick up for us and came onto the pitch to give a speech and I am sure his weight helped with our planning permission battle, doesn't sound like a knobhead to me. You however sound like another moron having a go at a local politician but without the brains to back up your statements, he has never (in my knowledge) claimed to be a latics fan, he did stand up for the club when we wanted planning permission when others wouldn't - top man.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Right Honourable Gentleman is a complete knobhead. Remember his election pamphlets proclaiming himself as a Man United fan................knob He isn't right hon., for you information, and I'll not have a word said against the man. He said that allowing the villages to flood is about as likely as Oldham Athletic winning the European Cup. He didn't say they wouldn't flood of their own accord and he cast no aspertions on our chances of Euro glory. Lay off, sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footy68 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 a lot of Norfolk is already 'under' water, swamp marshes, the broads, the fens, the drains. All good fishing mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
