A Funny Old Game
A Funny Old Game@sid_lambert·
57 years ago today: Leeds’ Gary Sprake gives Bobby Gould a straightener with this textbook left hook. Referee’s decision: Yellow card and a stern word. Good to see officials letting the game flow. (👍🎥@LUFCHistory) x.com/LUFCHistory/st…

Made me smile Spare a thought for poor old Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair. After arriving in a hotel in Manchester, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness. The barman nodded and said, "That will be £3 please, Mr. O’Leary." Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money. "Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6 pm until 8 pm. We have the cheapest beer in England". "That is remarkable value", Michael comments. "I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be £4 please." O'Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra £4. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you £2." "I think you may be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please". Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in, he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame". "I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of £4 for your seat sir". O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another £4." O'Leary was so incensed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager". "I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be £2 please." O'Leary's face was red with rage. "Do you know who I am?" "Of course I do Mr. O'Leary." "I've had enough! What sort of a Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!" "Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9.00 am and 9.01am every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only £1 per second, or part thereof". "I will never use this bar again". "OK sir, but do remember, we are the only hotel in England selling pints for £3." Have a good weekend. --------

@AppleMusic Can you tell me why you don't have the 1979 track ' Do It Right ' by Lenny Zakatek amongst your songs?

@CricketScotland I was at Lords for BBC Radio Scotland. Reported the victory on Radio 4's six o'clock news that Sunday night. Electric atmosphere when Davie ' Dad ' Christie clean bowled the opposition's top batsman. Unforgettable!

Holding, wrestling, hands on, shirt pulling in penalty boxes should be banned by ⁦@FIFAcom⁩ ie penalised on every occasion. It's about time. It's farcical & has disfigured the game for way too long.

@1968Tv I reported on that game for the Dundee Sporting Post. Maradona was a revelation. I distinctly remember a sustained round of applause from the Scots fans when the Argentinians played keepball for what seemed like 5 minutes.

When I was traveling for years to weird and wonderful places I had a bit of a gap in my donations, so it has taken me a while to get to 50. Very proud to get my @scotblood gold reward tonight. If you can, please give blood. You never know when you or a loved one may need it.

@WeAreTheOverlap Totally agree. I often find myself doing Wordle or a crossword while watching Super Sunday.

@OswaldsBar I’ve just written an article on Derek and his dad Jimmy for the latest edition of the Scottish football magazine Nutmeg. The only father and son duo to score against Celtic. Just to let you know.

@RangersFC He’s been in the job since December. I would’ve thought it would be a good idea to give him a chance. That may take some time - and I know a lot of people are fed up - but the results may be well worth it.

@JimSpenceDundee It’s an absolute joke! Even the best players are giving away ridiculous goals never mind the less technically gifted. You can see it’s going to happen. Drives me up the wall.
