Too many rough puff roadkill-filled abominations from Dick's Last Resort have rendered you unable to grasp the true majesty of a Clayton Park butter pie...!
Clive, to the northern pies appreciation thread, please.
Mrs Nombre has a fondness for browsing old gravestones for unusual details. We're walking out Amersham way and take a diversion round an old churchyard by way of a water stop. Meeting back by the lychgate, she asks me,
My Wodehouse vote goes to 'Uncle Fred in the Springtime' though - easily the best of his mistaken identity plots, beautifully written and at least one laugh out loud a page.
Can't recommend David Sedaris enough either - they're all good, just don't start with the Diaries...
Perhaps they have overlooked the notorious '88 King's Park Rangers (you organise the travel, you get to pick the team name) Amsterdam tour, highlights of which included one drunken horror-tackle broken leg and one visa-less Australian smuggled in and back in the coach toilet.
Surely it would be easier to eject the weirdos paying for their pop in coppers from a little coin purse and leave the rest of us to enjoy our beverages fully-lidded.
Mid 2000s, I think, Swansea are putting in one of those 'lucky to get nil' performances in the fizzy pop Cup, and we are coasting,
Kenny Jackett had always been popular at QPR, so with as much sympathy as irony, we begin 'ole'-ing every time Swansea manage a successful pass.
Bored and frustrated Swansea fans catch on and start to return the gesture for the rather more competent Hoops interplay.
These cup games are rarely well-attended, but two sets of fans lustily cheering on each others' teams is certainly something you don't see every day....
Wigan RUFC is on Haigh Estate, which is owned by Wigan Council.
To be fair, Haigh is the country estate of stately Haigh Hall, and not the sort of place you might happen across a flat-roofed pub (I miss that thread).
I think it is fairly common for an employment contract to specify no entitlement to bonuses, payrises etc that would paid during or beyond a notice period/departure.
If yours doesn't, you'd still be arguing over, say, a sixth of perhaps 3% = 0.5%, which may well be in suck it up territory (unless you're on a thick wedge or they've really hacked you off, in which case I spend time on a forum where the prevailing advice is to poo through their letterbox and move on...).
Mine has also just landed, after a month, and two days after phoning to chase.
They blamed the club shop for not sending them enough stock to dispatch orders, and presumably also disabling their email system so they were unable to reply to complaints or issue delivery updates...
They (Ultrasport Europe) did seem like nice folks though, so it would be mean to carp; all's well that ends well.
Having been a little negative on the club shop thread, I'm delighted to report that not only is the ticket exchange working (thanks Big_mac), but actually selling tickets! Well, mine, at least.
Credit to the Box Office for a welcome reverse ferret on a cheapjack policy, with a big shout out for Irish_Hoops and everyone else who wrote in highlighting this. This board has power!
