I mean what have the Romans done for us? I don't reckon much to their architecture. That tower in Pisa was shite. Their motorway bridges are dodgy and now some church in Rome as collupsed.

The new "Wembley of the north" aka Vale park was a bit of a let-down! Its not a joke either. That was their intention back in the early 70's or whenever. Remember seeing an artists impression of it.

Berlin Wall is a coloured in garden fence. Sagrada Familia is a lot smaller than I imagined. Golden Gate Bridge is really impressive, especially if you go up to those bunkers on the other side of the river. Seeing the Hollywood sign for the first time is pretty surreal. Taking their time finishing the Sagrada too!

Just talking on the other thread about a visit in Edinburgh to see the Greyfriars Bobby statue and being underwhelmed.
On a grander scale many years back we were in Canada and arranged to meet up with some friends who were in New England. We met them on the Canadian side and the youngest member of the party said "Where is it" to us as we were looking over at the falls in their full glory, trashy shops behind us
The worst I can remember recently was Sutton Hoo with the kids about 5 years back. Someone spending a few hours on a JCB could have knocked the site up. All the gold and treasures had been looted by London. I caught the kids whispering in front and when I asked them to share the response was "This is just like a crap school trip" Â
What do you expect from a tribute to a little dog? Sidney opera house perhaps, the hanging gardens of babylon or herds of Wildebeast strolling majestically....."!

Always look on the bright side. There are fates worse than death, like watching Port Fail in deaths dark Vale - park.

If folk want to leave a stadium they should be allowed to. How come these cops can sort out football fans but not paedo groomers in nearby Lancashire towns?

They threw a load of rubbish onto the pitch to join the rest of the garbage Stoke team. It shouldn't be allowed but if we are to return the compliment lets use bottles and spanners, hatchets and hammers etc! The atmosphere amongst Leeds made Stokes at home look terrible. We need to get back like that. You sing to intimidate - its not a sunday church school. Though i couldn't make out their lyrics even though i'm a Yorkshireman! It wasnt that embarrasing yarksha yarksha yarksha they sing at cricket matches ? Or the the even more cringeworthy YRA YRA ? I myself sing the first one at cricket. But not the daft 2nd one.

Considering taking my daughter to watch a race next year abroad any recommendations as to what country for the experience and easy to get to from a local airport ta I've been to Spanish GP at Barcelona numerous times Could stay there or up snd down the Costa's. My favourite was Salou which has the Port Adventura and Ferrari World theme parks at a walking distance from town. Get a train or hire car to the race.

All pubs in Leeds are absolute, complete and utter shit holes. It isn't really caused by Leeds - it is that fact that they belong in Yaaaarksha. A part of our fine, green and pleasant land that is best to be avoided at all times. Read my post on Leeds being very cosmopolitan. I'm a Stoke fan in West Yorkshire and what you said about the pubs was true in the early 80's its not the case now.

You can be lazy and go to the Whetherspoons as you leave the station by the City square exit, there are pedestrian signs then to Elland Rd, or you could be more discerning and pay more for not so good ale across the city square at Banyan's Bar. There's a pub called Veritas too! but behind the town hall near royal infirmary hospital and different direction to ground.

I live in nearby Shipley but its not on the train route from Stoke. Really cosmopolitan place now is Leeds with loads of pubs especially if not wearing colours. And as for Headingley, it's a real lively student area but again out of the way. Long time since i've been other than the England game the other month. Went in Leeds pubs Wetherspoons on station and the Hop. The Midnight Bell and The Grove are ok but hard to find.

Losing to Oldham in the FA Cup after THAT Abandoned game....The League Cup Exit at Watford. And that Richardson goal at Notts County which gave us promotion. Seems like yesterday... Aged 14 i was at those games - Sammy Irvine double, orange ball , half time abandonement. Watford home not away great atmosphere and the icing on the cake getting a train from Uttoxeter to Nottingham via derby with my late grandad and the late late goal and nearly getting crushed at the front with 14k supporters pushing forward. Brilliant times although the kids throwing stones at the train on the way home was scary I just hope the lad who's head i had to use to push me up to avoid going down like him was ok after the crush at Meadow lane.

After rain showers onto the dry land the stink i notice certainly can't be compared to a scent. Its rather like the cheesy smell of unchanged underwear.

I see Gobby gonad Gary lugsy Lineker is trying to verify his highest earner at the BBC tag advising everyone that we need another referendum. No we did that, we just want the ball-less lot in charge to sort it properly.

English people who say "pissed" instead of "pissed off" need garotting with the knicker elastic of Vanessa Feltz' thong. What is it after too many beers then?!

How do you say depot then. Obviously we we would say it with a silent 't' and pronounce the 'e' as 'eh'. so.... <d eh p o>. Just like the French would (I think). Is the American pronounciation different? English = Dep-o American = Dee-po What is it after too many beers then?! Can't do with the word Guy when it should be bloke.

My mates gran used to clean for him at his home near Leeds/Bradford airport. He got lots of shirts, pennants etc off him and free tickets for games that his fellow school "mates" used to nab by turning up at the ticket office earlier! He could never persuade me to go along with him though!
