Anyone from the UK?

Right, my rucksack is packed for tomorrow's holiday. Now it's time for a cup of tea and to relax and look out of the window at the dull and cold winter's day.
Three hours to go until I start work. Fortunately, all the lunatics who blow their fingers off are not my problem. Rather, it's the idiots who don't close their windows properly and therefore get a visit from me and my colleagues. And the complete morons who don't know that you shouldn't extinguish burning fondue fat with water. In between, there are burning waste paper containers and the odd burnt-out car.
Let's roll! By Jingo!

I strongly suspect we follow the same team. Smallish world.

Does the team name begin and end with the same name?

If it does I might also follow the same team…!

Is the holiday taking you anywhere nice?

 

[Meekly_Anna]

Kleinwalsertal.
An Austrian valley South of Obersdorf.
Yes, it's very beautiful.

Have a great holiday and I hope work is good today.

Finally off out. Have a happy new year all. Peace to you all, and hope the hangovers aren’t too bad tomorrow!

Well it’s one word / town name if that’s what you mean?

Why don’t u guys just say who u follow/support

For the same reason most don’t put their actual names here, in case we get recognised…

Southend United

 

[NudieUser]

Wishing my wonderful former home a very happy new year! I’m working but it’s all going well and really fun at the club. Hope we all have the best 2026 ever!

Southend United

Well it’s not the same as me but always liked Southend. Hope your season picks up!

If we can stay in play offs, that’s good, but we’re we’re hoping for top 3 finish tbh

 

[Ironfan]

We're still in the playoffs but 2 up/2 down into the national league makes it a very risky proposition

Yeah I don’t get it either, matey.
Been racking my brains all afternoon to think of a team which starts & ends with the same name

Rangers Park Rangers?
United United?
MK Dons MK?
City City?
Southampton South?
Northampton North?

But I shouldn’t get involved. I got told off earlier

 

[Darty20]

My team is in the Isthmian League so even further down the pecking order

Try a team with “Athletic” in the title…

Oh of course!

My apologies.

fair. Burnley

As I've mentioned a number of times, I was born 2¾ miles from Turf Moor.

No, but they were the first team to score a Football League hat trick and the first to be visited on a matchday by a member of the Royal family.

fair. Burnley

No secret in that. Jonno is a remote scouser, Iron is Scunthorpe and I keep forgetting Tugs' source of anguish. <embarrassed>

Only joined a few weeks ago and need to brush up on my time travel skills clearly . UTC

I saw the post about your team losing on the night only a few teams played , was pretty sure who you meant and thought I’d just say a polite hello in a roundabout way. Not scour forums to seek out whether my hunch was correct. Let’s not get off on the wrong foot eh. Happy new year

 

[TheWorldBuilder]

Sorry, Milo, text is a poor medium for nuances of banter. No criticism thought or intended; certainly no demand that 5½ years' worth of the banality and idiocy of this thread be read in its entirety.

A Happy New Year to you and your (extended) family.
