Happy Boxing Day all.
Not sure why it's called "Boxing Day" but the mother in law is still here so I could have a good guess.đ
Come on you Rams ,make my day.
Afternoon all. Hope everyone is feeling suitably bright eyed and bushy tailed.
How do Heb.
Stayed to long at the pub but somehow managed to cook a surprisingly tasty dinner.I think.

The exact etymology of the term "boxing day" is unclear. There are several competing theories, none of which is definitive.[3] The European tradition, which has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions, has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown. It is believed to be in reference to the Alms Box placed in places of worship to collect donations to the poor. Also, it may come from a custom in the late Roman/early Christian era, wherein metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen,[4] which in the Western Church falls on the same day as Boxing Day.
In Britain, it was a custom for tradespeople to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.[5] This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.[6] This custom is linked to an older English tradition: since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts and bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.
Afternoon chaps
Still suffering the remnants of Christmas man flu actually, but sustained by the fact that I was nothing like as ill as 666 !
I think 666 actually has the ebola man flu variant Ang.

Doctors are becoming concerned. They fear he might recover.

So Spart nothing to do with the urge to inflict pugilism on the m in law.
Talking of remnants, off to sample Mrs A's lamb & leftovers stew
Back soon, be gentle, Watters......
Ipswich 2 up at Brentford. They are now top.
Afternoon all , well that's that for another and I managed not to kill any of the in- laws ...........YET
Might be limited participation today as is tradition in my head, I go to the pub for a few scoops and a couple of bets but today I'll have a couple of taggers on who will sit with one drink while I try to get through a barrel.
Come on you Rams
Brentford 0 Ipswich 3 now

Hi Igor
Looks like Coutts and Hughes in midfield. Could work.
I stand corrected
The Rams starting line-up to face Birmingham City at St. Andrew's.
Grant; Christie, Keogh, Shotton, Forsyth; Eustace, Hughes, Hendrick; Russell, Ibe, Martin.
Subs: Roos, Calero, Best, Coutts, Mascarell, Dawkins, L Naylor.
Trust you're all having a great Christmas lads and lasses! Signing off for now,but will be listening to the game UTR
Not felt so pessimistic about starting a game for over a season. Hopefully my pessimism is misplaced.
I've opted for blind optimism Spart. Hopefully not misplaced but works for me
if I had known Eustace and Hughes in for Bryson and Mascarell I would have put us down for a win on the prediction .
Mascarell has been very poor of late and Bryson a shadow of what he can be.
At least the manager recognised the fact that the midfield needs a shake up. Feel good about this one now .
Happy days .
Heb was giving you first refusal on taking over the Auks this year as you are the keeper of them.
I have no problem doing them but the option is there for ya.
Hi Ang, Spart & Moja btw
Robrea, Estate will hold better. Mascarell drifts too far forward for my liking. Should be more solid and Hughes can control a game better than Bryson.
