Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Any fans of Curb Your Enthusiasm (err, ME!) may be sadden to hear about the passing of Bob Einstein (AKA Funkhouser) this evening. Plus Dean Ford, lead singer of Marmalade (Ob-La-Di...) also checked out today. But he's nowhere near as funny as Funkhouser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I bumped into a member of my body bag squad in the gym last week. Didn't make me feel very proud of myself. Glad to say they looked in good shape and not likely to score me any points. I'll make sure not to pick anyone close to home in future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a former Scottish Rugby player. He's one to keep an eye out for future years, but this year was always going to be a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Andre Previn has conducted his last symphony.

disjointed Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I know some on here have him in their team, but there is a decent article in the Guardian today talking to Fernando Ricksen.

rosa Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 When I was 16 my mate's ex-Para boyfriend called me a "fucking fenian bitch" for wearing a Celtic shirt. He might have been using it as a term of endearment. (he definitely wasn't, the utter psychopath. 26 and going out with a 16 year old. Hope he eventually got the help he clearly needed.)

Well sort of, I thought it was derogatory then I recall it being used by Celtic fans on social media, including here. So perhaps it has evolved into something less derogatory.

rosa Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 In the same way that 'them' using 'the n word' is different to a white person using it, people of Irish heritage using the word fenian is different to it being used as a term of abuse. Context is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
