Had a load of old stories told me last night about the old London United days. All the London firms uniting for when the clubs from oop t'north came down town. Apparently it was mainly us and them lot from north London but the other lot was represented. It was disbanded because they couldn't agree for a leader and what really put the kaibosh on it was the Spuds lot singing Tottenham at some game and they all turned on them hahaha

I know its them north London lot but a great song and interesting by one of their old lads

Just got home from Cedar point. One of the greatest days of my life. The Dragster and Milenium Force...good god.

Sounds like fun. I've only been to amusement parks in Australia. Well, I've been to Disney Florida.

Personally, my day was a little more relaxed. Watched the cubbies, cooked, had a few beers. Oh, and I got two bloody fillings in my teeth.

Ive a good mate on another site lives a couple of miles up the road from there. He takes his grand children alot and says its great so I bet you had a craic.

I used to live not far from Disneyland till I was about 10 so my folks would take us alot. Still remember it well and have an early memory of sitting in a rocket looking at the earth on a big monitor on the floor slowly disappearing and crying my damned fool head off. Big woos!

Amazing how memories like that shoot into our heads.

The debate on the players names and the new topic names are ridiculous..


Let's write some emails to chelseafc.com to rename the profiles :D

Some people need to spend more time outside.

Hi @Stingray I want to know because you are born in Belgium when did you start learning English and how long did it take you to be comfortable speaking English fluently and how widely spoken is English in Belgium and is or are all the signs in stores names on the buildings are in Belgian or with English also so that like the Visitors and Tourists. so that it helps non speaking Belgians to feel comfortable and more likely go to Belgium again because they use English more widely.

I don't know much about any Country other than South Africa and New Zealand and because I have never traveled any country in the world except traveling in RSA and NZL Where I was born and live. so I would like to know more about other than just doing online research because talking directly to people is more enjoyable than researching it online.

also any other members on here you read this you can also add your views on your countries as well if you want to.

I have Lived over 10 years in New Zealand since Tuesday 21 June 2005 at 11:45 am NZST when I landed in Auckland Airport. I have forgotten everything about South Africa since I have immigrated because I was 14 years old at the time so I don't really remember much about what South Africa has become since I left.

Hey Kevin,

I started English really early - at around 7 - since my best friend was a British son of an expat. I think it just came automatically. However, I think pretty much here speaks English at a decent level. Tourist signs are indeed often in English for tourists, but they include the three national languages as well (Dutch, French and Germen). We all get those languages in school (well, English, French and Dutch anyway; German is optional).

What we do do is create really large amounts of signs. Since we have been overrun by the Germans twice, we do this as a deterrent strategy. It will confuse them and drive them back home. In total we have 1.622.623 signs on a population of 10.000.000

To illustrate:

Sign that says deviation in two languages:

More confusion:

or this one - ultimate confusion!

The second strategy we use to deter the germans is build really ugly houses. for reference check:

To illustrate:

But our third strategy is most genius. We use music and a lot of our singers are even named Kevin. Germans cannot tand our music, but we love it after we drank all our beers. For example: this is called 'common and do it - and yes it is about sex.

All the hot chicks even sing about Kevin all the time:

Greetings from Belgium! You should come and visit us sometimes! You would make a great singer!

It was before I was old enough to get into it but Ive just been looking into footballing injuries.

I came across this tacle on Citehs David Busst. He had a compound fracture (where the bone comes thru the skin) He had 26 operations and got MRSA in hospital

This is what the poor sod looks like now

God I hope Kris bryant isn't next.

I'm not saying they were but all the so called 'gang rapes' Ive seen in the media by sportsmen (normally footballers) has been a girl that was totally up for it and made it into a money making opportunity.

Of course if it wasn't Id be more than happy to get stan out and cut it off myself. Along with a nice Chelsea smile.
