Re: Foxy Knoxy

Blood all over the place yet they couldn't find any DNA. Oops they did but it was contaminated. The media portraying her as a sexual predator. Two young people being told they'd been grassed up by each other but didn't crack under incredible pressure without legal representation. And an Italian Pros...

Re: 40 years ago today

Great programme on 5 live the other week about that try & they agreed that it is the greatest try of all time. I've never seen one better.

David N'Gog tried to something he wasn't quite capable of, said Jack Dearden

BBC web site said it was Alonso with the foul on King, difficult to get Alonso & Knight mixed up.

Re: away to birmingham

Only caught what little they gave to us on GMR but Jack Dearden didn't think it was pen. He said the Linesman gave it not the ref and there'd be a penalty every time the ball went in the box if you flag for that. Is he right, if he is hope Coyle finally gives the officials a well deserved rocket. He...

Re: university of bolton

Sounds like they are claiming that they never told him he couldn't use primary research - that on the copies handed in there was a sheet confirming this, one for them to mark and one for him to retain so that they both had copies of this agreement. When they 'lost' both copies, they lost any eviden...

Re: university of bolton

Wovlad - sounds like an awful story. What's the crux of it though? Simply that two hard copies of your dissertation went missing? Surely something like that is remediable? There were the only copies. You hand in two copies and you are supposed to get one back, both of mine disappeared. So they coul...

Re: university of bolton

Blimey Wovlad, you have my sympathy, that's awful. I'm told that students at Bolton set up a site rating their tutors, which almost caused a strike as they construed it as bullying and harrassment. Students weren't impressed apparently by missing tutors, poor lecture preparation and tutors who had ...

Re: university of bolton

The U of B is bottom of the league and that's were it deserves to be. Did a degree there and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life. One that many years on i am still paying for. I now have no faith in the higher education system in this country not only because it allowed Bolton Ins...

Barstards have even started thieving the plaques from war memorials, the metal would bring them a few quid. Hope they throw the book at them when caught.

I've been watching Bolton over 30 years and for me he's up there with Worthy, Walker, McGinley & Anelka. Just hope now he's n...

Re: Italian Restaurant in Bolton

I went to Tiggi's a while back and I went outside for a second for some fresh air and got sexually harrassed off some girl with a massive rack coming out of Courtney's. I'm still yet to decide whether it was brilliant or press charges. :laugh: Years ago, I knew one of the chefs in what was then Tig...

Cheers for that, General. Must be a very difficult subject for you to comment on as you were so close to the victim, but you did it well.
