In case you can’t view the image…

Actually, this one is far more realistic. Best laugh of the week…

Careful DM, BPG, LK and JI will be welling up, show some compassion.

Never too long before I upset someone.

[Northumbiron]

Always amuses me to think that some people believe that Crusaders had a uniform.

All that’s missing from the surcoat is a Nike “swoosh”!

[Deereyme66]

They take their tea breaks at Gregg’s though…

[Siderite]

They won’t be eating no woke vegan sausage rolls.

[Deereyme66]

I wouldn’t blame them, too dry them thing!

Are they quoting a poem about an England that never existed that they’d just heard on TV before a rugby match?

[Deereyme66]

The drummer looks happy anyway

The only nostalgia this thread has engendered in me is a longing for the days when we were taught punctuation. Please get those sentences sorted out.

My first thought was he is holding the bat the wrong way round. There is also a historical inaccuracy.

Standing with your bat in the air, as they do in baseball, didn’t really start until Gooch and co in the 1980s.

Cricket nerd! Hope the punctuation meets the JI standard.

Reading some JI posts over recent yearas the word standard does seem a little OTT, a few misplaced colon’s hear and there seem quite amusing by comparison.

“a few misplaced colon’s”

As I ger older, I often wonder if my colon has gone missing. Bit like Jimmy Dean, not doing the job right.

[Heath]

Or the jobs….

Full stop rather than comma after OTT, IA. The end of a sentence and all that. Even worse is the apostrophe in colons. It’s plural not possessive you see.
No offense intended. I was just trying to help you since you have schooled me so expertly on US politics, faith issues and the complexities of the Middle East. Least I could do.

[Iron-awe]

Your starting to bite again JI, bet you’ll be running away soon for another short break, again.

[Just Iron]

No hard feelings. I just got drawn in.
(‘You’re’ not your. Full stop after JI then a capital letter. No comma before again.)
I think your advice is good. I should stay away and will do my best.

[Iron-awe]

Didn’t need any ground bait, bit of a pushover really.

[Just Iron]

Speaking of which … I fancy a go at those perch at Rodley sometime soon. See you in the Barge afterwards.

[Iron-awe]

Only if your buying, my schooling fees don’t come cheap.

Lol, ‘you’re’ morphing in to my first venture on to an Iron forum back in around 2000-1. Can’t even remember what the site was called but I was ‘The Grammar Checker’, and later ‘Feg’. ‘The Ref’ would post too. My sole purpose seemed to be telling people off for bad grammar and criticising the increasingly poor defending of Russ Wilcox. Happy, simpler days :)

Been fishing over the winter JI? Literally I mean, not on here. Just teasing, but have you?

[Just Iron]

Been intending to … but haven’t been since October. I always buy a rod licence but only manage 4 or 5 times each year. Thank goodness for ‘The Ginger Fisherman’ et al on You Tube to give me some kind of ‘fix.’

[Deereyme66]

Not seen that. Will take a look. Cheers. Not been since mid autumn either. Warming up slightly now so I’ll be going soon. Need the banks to dry out a bit first.
