If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

How about top 5 gigs? Brucie could pick SLF 5 times :-)

I'll go with

1) Genesis - 2007
2) Rush - Farewell to Kings
2) Motorhead - Bomber
3) AC/DC - Back in Black
4) Black Sabbath - last tour (again) about 4 years back...
I've been thinking about this, and I honestly don't think it's possible for me to name my top 5 gigs (No.1 will always be SLF, Manchester Apollo, May 81 though ;) )

I can name the worst 5, but I wouldn't want to distract from the generally positive overall disposition of a 'Top 5' thread. :D
May the bridges I burn light your way

Is this the Umbro long-sleeved one, BP? It's the only football shirt I own and was gift. It's buried somewhere in my chest of drawers; I must dig it out and wear it again as the cooler weather is upon us.
There's nothing like over-emphasising a brand on the product. :shock:

I have just ferreted it out. It's not quite the same as the image as it doesn't have the Umbro name beneath the logo on the right chest and the 'wings' under the club logo do not have the white highlights but dark blue.
It is indeed. A work of art, ruined only by my scrawling of a number 11 on the back. In felt tip pen of all things! It was a lot of money for my mum to fork out at the time and I received a richly deserved bollocking as a result!

Good idea. Pretty sure I will be the only one of us having rom coms occupying the top 5 spots though. I’m not a massive girlie girl, but when it comes to movies... 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

This requires some thought.

Can we say they have to include at 1 guilty pleasure (so I don’t feel too embarrassed) or are guilty pleasures another category?

Are you putting ridiculous rules in? Tut. I would never do that.

Just spit it out man. No one should be ashamed of watching ‘The little mermaid’ on repeat. You can be yourself here with us. We won’t judge your love of Disney princess movies (much).

😮 You said you’d never tell!

Movies is one category and guilty pleasures (music, movies or anything else that fits the bill) another.

Your love of Bolton Wanderers can go in the latter. 😉

We both know that the loan of the Disney plus password was not for your daughter but in fact for you...

I’m not sure even you lot would describe watching Bolton as pleasurable at times. Ironically it might have been had we been able to go this season given you now can’t stop winning.

It was a pretty tough pick, because generally you pick your gigs because you want to be there (other than when 'Er indoors says something like "can we see the Human League"). Either way, we're not allowed to play this one coz BP didn't like it. :-)

I simply added another category, rather than ban gigs. Why not do both? Come on Worthy, don’t let the side down. Show GG that us blokes can multi task after all. 😉🤔
