Thread: Hello to you all

Hi there. Have been lurking on this board for a couple of months and have found it very interesting. A little about myself, British and living in Runcorn, Cheshire. Bit old in the tooth now but am hoping to retire to Thailand within the next 3 or 4 years. (As long as I can save a good enough wedge) it will sure beat the hell out of this ruddy aweful weather.

Come out to Thailand about twice a year with the next trip in April.

Fairly new to this computer lark so if I make mistakes please take it easy on me. Us old dogs take a long time to learn new tricks .

Nice to have you join us in convesation propogator.

Sorry to say any errors will be jumped on like a free packet of bensons in a rowdy pub when this pissed paki leaves them on the bar but things could be worse!

Runcorn? Why does that ring a bell?
Is someone famous from there.......or was there a very notorious sex murder mutilation in Runcorn recently?

Don't worry.
I am known here as the computer expert. Any problems with doing computer type stuff..just let me know.
Welcome to the board.

Glad to know you can solve stuff CMN.

I have a problem. I'm downloading over 15 gb of pron on limewire and shareaza and my photoshop has gone all slow like...do you think i should up my virtual memory?

Indeed I do PC.
What with you pushing you DWMV to the limit and all.
I recommend a re-boot of the ZfR protocol that should free up the WFeZ, and things should go rather smoothly thereafter.
If you have any further prblems, which you shouldn't, assuming you have followed my instructions carefully, just press TAB and the letter h.
That should do it.

Hi Prop, good to have you joining in.

I used to live very near Epsom, you're going in the wrong direction, Thailand is east not north

PC - Nothing famous about Runcorn, just the bloody big ICI chemical place. Sometimes pongs a bit and had a chemical accident there a couple of years ago.

Thetyim - Small world, whereabouts did you used to live. I was in Ewell but always say Epsom as most folks have heard of there.

Bring my boys' bike back!'

A DAD-OF-THREE has appealed for the return of a quad bike used by his autistic son, after it was stolen from their shed during the night.

Paul Harmon, of Windsor Grove, Runcorn, woke up on Friday morning to discover the sprayed-silver 50cc Starway bike had been taken by thieves.

Paul, 39, said: "It must have happened during the night on Thursday.

"I got up in the morning and the shed door was open.

"They'd cut the fence at the back and then got away through the Red Admiral pub car park. I've had to screw both fence doors.

"It looks like they came especially for the bike."

His three kids - eldest son Joseph, 15, who suffers from autism, Paul, seven, and daughter Erin, four, shared the bike, which cost just under £1,000.

"Obviously, my kids are very upset," added Paul. "It was a birthday present last August. They used it every other weekend."

Runcorn neighbourhood policing inspector Mike Naughton confirmed Cheshire Police had been made aware of the theft and said patrols had been notified to be on the lookout for the bike.

Anybody with any information about the bike's whereabouts, or think they have seen people riding it, should contact the neighbourhood policing unit on 0845 4586381.

Right bastards them Runcorn folk!

And not forgetting the football club...

Don't worry Propagator, you will feel right at home with other 'oldies' like Dirty Dog and Poolcleaner.

Your more than welcome into our TD home, Propagator. But please speak proper English, not wat you was taught as a youngster...

Hello there Propagator, welcome to the forum

I'm sure we will all do our best to help you out with the board if you get stuck with anything.

There is a bridge in Runcorn, called the Runcorn bridge.

It's near Warrington as well.

That's all I know.

I am from Crewe, but don't hold that against me.

^ At least you got a football team. Good manager Dario O'Grady used to go to school with him. We might get another bridge soon, its been on the cards for the last five years.

I used to have a misstress in Ewell.

Fook you're nearly as bad as me Gran (RIP). She supported the alex all her life, but still insisted they were managed by some Irish guy called Dari O'Grady. He's a bit Italian and is called Dario Gradi. Word on the street is he's a bit Italian (nudge, nudge)

Dario Gradi was born in Milan but moved to England when he was four. As a footballer he played for Sutton United and Tooting & Mitcham before moving to Loughborough to train as a teacher of physical education between 1960 and 1963. Here he played in the successful 1st XI that included Bob Wilson and the author of ‘Kes’, Barry Hines! I believe his Loughborough peers were even more impressed that he drove an Austin Healey 3000 as a student! His period at Loughborough was to prove influential in his career because it was at this time that he was coached by staff member Alan Wade, who went on to become the FA’s Director of Coaching and author of the most influential football coaching book of all time.
After a period of teaching, Dario became Assistant Coach at Chelsea in 1971 at the age of just 29, followed by coaching and management posts at Sutton United, Derby County, Wimbledon and Crystal Palace, and a 2-year spell as youth team coach at Leyton Orient. He even turned down the offer to manage Benfica!
It was in June 1983 that Dario took up his present post as manager of Crewe Alexandra. At the time, Crewe were the perennial whipping boys of the old 4th Division, having finished in the bottom three for 4 of the previous 5 seasons. Over the next 20 years, under Dario’s leadership, Crewe have been promoted 4 times and are now 2 divisions higher than when he took over. In addition, the ground has been completely redeveloped and crowds have increased five-fold. In 1998, he was awarded the MBE for his contributions to the sport of football.
Dario’s greatest achievements have been in the nurturing of young football talent. The Crewe Academy, now with extensive new facilities, is a model nationally and internationally. Dario, himself, still watches and coaches the young players. David Platt, the former England captain, was released by Manchester United as a youngster but was taken in by Crewe and developed by Dario Gradi into a player good enough to move on to Aston Villa, Arsenal, Juventus and England and star in the 1990 World Cup. Platt is not the only well-known player to benefit from the system at Crewe. Dario converted Neil Lennon from being a reserve for Manchester City to an international player for Northern Ireland, and now with Celtic. Liverpool’s Danny Murphy is another product of the Crewe system. Others include England internationals Geoff Thomas, Rob Jones, and Seth Johnson, as well as Robbie Savage, Craig Hignett, Rob Whalley, Ashley Ward, and Dele Adebola. When asked if he had a secret to explain such success, Dario said “yes, we practice very hard”! Significantly, only one player in 20 years has asked for a transfer. Dario’s player-centred approach is best summed up in his quote, “we will go where the players take us, not get the players to take us where we want to go”. Dario Gradi, Loughborough graduate, epitomises the Loughborough sport motto, Developing People, Developing Sport.

You poor, poor, man. I don't know anything about Steam, but I can imagine.

I never went out in Crewe, thought that was just for criminals - we always went to Nantwich where there were great places like Greg's 1-2-3 and...er... well that was about it, but there was another place called The Cat for a little bit. Loads of pubs though.

hello propogater that sounds like fun I like to propagte myself but only when the wife lets me
