Think you have a bad case of heat induced delirium, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible
Compared to Derby fans i would say your spot on.
See what I mean? Their comebacks are razor-sharp, I just can't get enough of them!!!
Teach me your ways!
Think about
You come from a non footballing city, working in perfume factories or making lace all week, dodging bullets on your way home. When you get home, to your lonely existence, you’ll probably suffer a pint of Shi*stones coloured laxative.
After a week of this miserable life, you manage to cobble enough coins together to rent a pink seat for a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon, huddled together with a couple of other degenerates, having your hopes built up and the ultimately dashed in complete embarrassment, just like your love life.
Then back home on the bus, licking the windows and trying to make friends, when outside is so dull, grey and boring.
My friend you are awesome. Given the average IQ of persons from Nottingham, you have managed to find a working computer and pour out your thoughts.
Don’t give up my old mucker, without your measly abode, we at Derby would not know nor appreciate how wonderful life is this side of the M1.
If things do get too much for you could try .www.samaritans.co.uk
We all feel your pain, but hang on in there.
anybody know where i can buy a cheap train from?i heard of a great german company.
you have managed to find a working computer. ?????
beg or steal
I worked for the samaritans once...never again,rang in sick one day and they talked me out of it!
The average Forest fan is really the same as the average Derby Fan. It's just that there are less of them.
Zigger, it is difficult looking on down the road with envy at the Pickford's House Museum and the joys contained within the Derby Industrial Museum.
It's no wonder there's a lot of you, albeit decreasin in number each season, down at the ground. There's nowt else to do!
That`s right my unfortunate one. All we have is Football and by god don't we worship it.
After a gruelling week working in the forefront of the worlds engineering, we all follow the one true team.
Come and join us, change your miserable life into one of sporting fullness.
The future my friend is very bright.
Its most definitely BLACK & WHITE
Praise the lord
You certainly do worship it.
Until you start losing games, or the manager moans about a player, or you get relegated, or you don't make the play-offs.
It certainly is black and white with you lot.
1969, my first game.
Been up, Been Down
Longson, Amigo`s, Maxwell
Clough, Pickering, Smith
Claude, Ravanelli, Hales
Hector, Davidson & Eranio
But always, my poor friend, we have kept the faith.
just remind those r*tards, who made those trams of theirs .
You might have Hector, many thousands haven't and another thousand or so won't again next season.

There is something called demography which is used when planning retail outlets, shopping centres, etc.
The westfield ctr in Derby has Debenhams as it's most up-Market shop, the new Victoria ctr in Nottingham will have a Harvey Nicholls, to add to the John Lewis, house of Fraser, Michelin starred restaurant, etc.
Derby is without doubt a tip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As you know so much about demography, you'll also be aware then that investors of said companies (Harvey Nichols [there's only one "L"], House of Fraser etc.) choose to locate where spending power is greatest.
A city of Nottingham's scale and populace will naturally have a far greater spending power than a smaller city like Derby.
A large determinant on spending power is, ironically, unemployment. Nottingham, a city with nearly 20,000 people currently unemployed collectively has more time on its hands and so spends more time, and money in shops. Derby, with a relatively low 11,000 unemployed doesn't have this added economical factor.
You'll also be aware that these so-called "up-market" stores will locate due to communicative factors. Derby is only a few miles from a number of junctions on the M1, but Nottingham is located at junctions from the M1 and the A1. Where do you think you'd locate your company?
And on a final note, to describe Derby as a tip is frankly imbecilic. What factors do you associate with regards to somewhere being a tip? Litter? Burglaries? Murders?
Each of these figures are categorically superior in Nottingham.
"Derby is without doubt a tip."
Don't be too hasty Stret, I saw in the Metro this morning that Derbyshire had the International Toe Wrestling competition this week. They're on the map!
Soon it'll be thumb wrestling then in the next 10 years or so you might get some proper sport.
"A large determinant on spending power is, ironically, unemployment". Nicely put together and perfectly feasible in general but I don't think Harvey Nichols are focussing on a town where there's a load of people spending their dole cheques.
Who said they were?
That's global conglomerates for you. They don't really look, or for that matter even care WHO is buying. They just care that people (or numbers in their interest) ARE buying.
And to stereotype that "dole cheques" aren't worthy in Harvey Nichols, John Lewis or Michelin-starred restaurants is a little unsavoury (pardon the food-based pun).
There were figures published a while back that showed unemployed people were outspending their means, that is, they were buying the most expensive goods available, e.g. buying £350 Stone Island sweaters when a £20 Matalan number would suffice, taking home a 40" Panasonic LCD television when Tesco's own brand would do just as well, buying overpriced branded edible goods when supermarket own brands still fill you up.
To assume that the unemployed don't shop in designer outlets, no matter how much they shouldn't, does unfortunately not mean they won't.
Did I say they aren't worthy? If you put words in my mouth please make them the right ones.
They're as worthy as anyone but maybe not able to afford or frequent those shops as often which I'm sure said shops realise. I don't think you're wrong saying that people don't spend within their means, my initial post was just a suggestion that saying Harvey Nichols has opened up in Nott'm due to the high unemployment rate is a bit simplistic and convenient for you to score a point.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The exact point I was making is that they ARE able to frequent said shops because they have nothing else to do with their day(s), unfortunately. If they have nothing to do with their day, but still have money in their pocket to spend, they will buy things

Not trying to score a point - just underlining the basic principle of supply and demand. If there's something for sale, someone will buy it

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, you may have inferred that but I didn't.
I see your point, like I said, people without much money still manage to spend it - I have to try to explain to my wife why this is a problem. I'm still not convinced Harvey Nichols' main objective are the casual unemployed drop-ins rather than the thousands that flood to the city at weekends but like you said you're not trying to score a point, you're just stating a fact right?
No, you're not scoring points at all but you still felt the need to insert the petty (sic) after my spelling mistake. Now, I could go on about having lived 7 of the last 8 years in the US where that form is prevalent or go on to add that the Oxford English Dictionary has both forms but you're not scoring points so why worry.
No, there's no point scoring but feel free to insert a face with a palm slapped against it because if words fail you that's a sure-fire winner.
