Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Was it the Blackburn manager ?...can't remember now...

Fraid not RF ----a weeie clue 4 u all - Blackburn is not far away from said side. Strange tho that only ONE eng.manager has won p/ship.

I'm not sure that an English manager has won the Premiership title since it's inauguration?

Aye I think your right kimoldfield, TFC go on then put us out of our misery :o))

The devil is in the detail. Steve Bruce is your man.

Moreover, he's the only English manager to guide his team to the DOUBLE!

The French Connectionthe name is Tabascohot and spicyyour name misspelled could read The French Erectionso we need to get the spelling rightsecond pointthe French are not best at everythingthey have no Bookmakersjust Pari Mutual equivalent to our tote bettinga poor television networkif you take their sports channel away{great coverage of the French Open btw}they drive like nuttersand end up as they say squashy far too often?they use their cars as bumper carshalf a dozen shunts to form a space is okor they park where they stopcould be middle of the road?very few public toiletsvery few restaurants that serve up traditional French Cuisinecassoulet...boeuf bourguignon...sex in four wheels:-coq au vin...Navarin and so on...and worst of all...they all cheat at Boules....having said that......I love um!!!

Are you from Paris?

Hilary.The French Connection never specified currant English Manager.he stated the only English Manager Alan Shearer was a brief English Manager at Newcastlethat also guided his then side Blackburn to Premiership Supremacy 1994-1995sorry to be picky?

Namrehproud to sayIm just a lucky thicko

Ok will tell ..........i seem to remeber a certain Howard Wilinson won p/ship with Leeds soon after its inception . Probably find out i am wrong now ;-)) but am pretty certain .

and certainly not a Parisian !!! ..lts not even France proper !! ...l am from a small village called Labestide- Murat near Brive-La-Gaillarde. Still a little lost ? lt lies about 90 km from Bordeaux in foothills of the C.M. ...But that is of little consequence but what is most important is i can buy wine ..:-)) i see in UK vintners for 10 to 25 for a fraction of that --usually a tenth or so ..( in addition ,,,Reg. cuisine -You obviously dont look in the right places ...Driving -lts all relative- Go to Rome and by comparison we are F1 drivers. Also we dont have the road rage scenarios. ...There are more michellin eateries in Paris than rest of world put together!!...We have THE ONLT truly independant space programme in Toulouse whick makes the USA facility look antiquated , We wont be cold when hydrocarbons run out as we mastered nuclear fusion and thus France is 84% nuclear.-safely and cheaply . We have trains that run at more than twice twice the speed of the brits dated train system and our stations and airports dont either shut down or go to sleep when it gets dark :- ))..We dont have those awful back to back housing where people live in a manner more befitting a hamster., or unemployed armies of young girls wandering around with a hoarde of screaming kids-all by different fathers in tow. People take a huge pride in their homes and villages here and whilst its not exactly my thingd we have an annual contest where over 1000 villages compete for that which is most pleasing to the senses. ....Aww i could compile a catalogue of French ways being superior to Brit way ........BUT to sum it all up in one sentance -Recently Marks and Spencer laid off a number of workers at one of their Parisian mega stores ( synergies u understand ). Subsequently it brought over 300,000 onto the streets of Paris- from Drs, Lawyers,teachers and civil servants to housewives, pensioners and,students workers-: who would not disperse until said workers were re-instated -which they were the next day . Gone are the days of hiring and firing on whim ,(esp when employes may have worked there for many years) and sometimes overmanning is not neccasarily a bad thing if it avoids a high social price..But since when have your political masters cared about that ??? ...

French ways being superior to Brit way ........ Don't see many froggies fighting in iraq.....or anywhere else for that matter, they'd sooner piss the wine up the wall and sh*g each other...

Sounds like a plan to me! :o)

Well Do Tell - Out of curiosity WHAT would u prefer ?? ---Dodging bullets while bearing in mind your next footstep could blow you to oblivion ---Or having a drink and the company of a nice lady ? REG lraQ ,,,Try watching a new film called the hurt locker- and you hopefully change your mind about what is in truth a RESOURCE war which will beget many similar wars until the entire world is dragged in ......---i told u in no uncertain terms what i thought of war in an earliar posting ! WAR SUCKS !!!!!!!.....l find the only people who support this war in lraq is those that have never been in a conflict

now your worrying me chris.....;))

what du mean- souns like a most brilliant plan ..;-)
