Do You Remember The First Time?

I can’t remember a worse time. But once we were Champions of all England. May 8th, 1972. 50 years ago this Sunday. For those of us who were alive, what can we recall of that night? Youngsters may have stories their parents told them, as I have of the Cup win in 1946. Did anyone go to Molyneux to cheer on Wolves as they defeated the Dirties who, it was rumoured, tried to bribe them to throw the game?

I was halfway down the stairs of my house, aged eight, after my Dad woke me up with about twenty minutes to go to tell me that if the scores stayed as they were we would be Champions. We listened to the crackly radio as Leeds knocked and knocked on the Old Gold door and were denied over and over again.

Tell your tale, if you have one, of that most glorious of nights.

The 1972 players are going to come out at half time so don't go into the concourse for your pee and cuppa, stay out and give them the reception they deserve.

I heard of a houseman who was on his first day on the job working in surgery and he was called to the operating theatre urgently. When he got there his consultant and the rest of the team were all scrubbed up ready to go and the boss told him to hurry up, catheterise himself and come and assist. It was going to be a long operation and there would be no toilet breaks. He looked down and they all had catheter bags coming out from under their operating gowns. So off he went with the catheter and KY jelly, did the needful and returned to theatre. They all took off their gowns to reveal that the catheter bags were not, after all, connected to anything that went into the bladder and they all killed themselves laughing at the poor unfortunate.

So there is a solution to your problem, Ang, if you care deeply enough.

On the Popside, by half-time, the pi$$ was running down the steps like Niagra Falls.

I have some one time self catheters for emergency use Ang. I could let you have one before the game to completely empty your bladder. Pushing 14 inch of plastic tube up your willy is an experience you won't forget.

That jolly jape with the catheters sounds very public school bullying. No doubt the untermensch who played the trick would be sacked today.

Just done a bit of "back of a Woodbines packet" arithmetic.

Nine hours worth of Shell's profit in Q1/2022 would buy our club. Their profit is approx. £938 per second.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Boris won't tax them and no doubt the directors will receive massive bonuses for actually doing no extra work. Then of course they will donate some of this unearned bonus to the Tory party.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As well you know Spart, all this profit is taxed in this country. Many shares are owned by pension funds, so find their way into ordinary people's pockets. Shell and BP lost billions a couple of years ago.

Now, if that Elon Musk fellow was a Derby fan.....

14 inches is standard size. They do make 20 inch ones.
