Utah Owl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 On a slightly more positive note, wonderful news about Borukov. Wouldn't it be a lovely piece of Karma if GH moving frees up the room for Borukov to be involved with the 1st team and he ends up being the new Alan Shearer!

Utah Owl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Just checked. Sliced bread came in in 1928, the year of "the Great Escape". Coincidence? I don't think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs sliced bread if you have pop up toasters? If it weren't for the toaster, they'd have never bothered inventing sliced bread. Shame it took them 35 years to figure out what the machine had been invented for! 1893 Inventor of toasters mate: That looks interested what is it, what does it do? Inventor of toaster: buggered if I know, I'll think of something eventually 1928 Inventor of toasters mate: Did you see what they've come up with now? Sliced bread, what's that all about? Incidentally what a fantastic escape by Wednesday! Inventor of toaster: Hmmm.........that's given me an idea!

Inspector Lestrade Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The shame is I was really looking forward to watching GH develop into a successful professional player. Would have been a storyline straight out of Roy of the Rovers. Now some none descript fans of a none descript club will get the pleasure but won't really realise the backstory.

To be fair , I've recently come back to Owlstalk (you know what that's like) And within days one of the biggest stories in a long time has broken. Not just in terms of it being Son of Hirst. (Though that makes it emotive for the reasons I explained earlier in full which was passed over...) 6 hours ago, DEH9 said: Ta. I'm glad to be back. David Hirst was indeed my boyhood hero. I hope that a statement is released and goes unchallenged in which he is cleared of doing anything wrong. Because I like my hero's to stay hero's. I want the men to live up to the myth in my head. I'm old fashioned like that. I like to belive in fairytale. David Hirst was never the player I wanted to be. Because I knew I never could. Oh I could copy the way Worthington tackled. I could make sure I kept my head up and was always looking for the next pass like John Sheridan. But I never tried to copy David Hirst because to me he was like an alien from another planet. A Superman. When he set off on a galloping run, and I saw the familiar hunch of his shoulder , head dipped charging in like a raging bull I knew I was seeing something special. I knew I was seeing something I might never see again. When he'd swivel on a six pence and turn and leave defender trailing in his slipstream wrong footed and bewildered as they saw the back of his shirt vanishing into the distance I marvelled. When a ball bobbling around was caught with the outside of that left foot and arrowed into the net at record breaking speeds and bulged the netting gloriously and when he leapt to meet a cross and bulleted a header I to the net on a rainy night and the billowing net sent the water exploding like a million tiny diamonds under the spotlights I roared with primal passion that such a magnificent player was playing for my club. And me dads club. And me grandads club. When I saw all the other big name strikers come to Hillsborough and fall under his shadow. I knew we'd all once it on all lifetime player. I knew then he'd be the best striker I ever saw. When his name was read out on the tannoy id feel my heart soar. And when he clattered down the tunnel and out into the brightness I felt like I was witnessing the Superman flying up and basking in the restorative rays of our single sun. I'm 42 years old. And the last time I cried was at David Hirsts testimonial. And I've had two kids all nd got married since then. Yeah that makes me a mad nutter probably. But when yer a kid and you fall in love that first time it's the best and most painful it'll ever get. I loved that team. And I loved him. I keep posting because people keep hinting that there's a side that my hero needs to tell. I want them to. I want him to. Because I always want him to be my hero. David Hirst was my Superman. And I always want him to be. I want to belive. As for why I haven't been on here other than viewing purposes. Well what? Mebbe I didn't see any interesting threads. Or mebbe I had been staying at me dads and Owlstalk didn't like us both using the same server . Mod who pulled it is still here of yer really want to know. I backed off and let me old man post. Hes retired. On herw more than me. but now I'm back home I'm up and running. So. Sorry it sent yer foil hat fizzing. I might have made over 200 posts an all. Many of them about corned beef pie. Some about salad. Some about trolls. Some about me being really skint and one about us all being southerners. But aye, agenda. What is this agenda you think I have incidentally? Eeeh deary me. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither - it is how long the bread has been in the cupboard and how much mould you have to scrape off first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
