Hahaha.

Fergie's at it again.

After his son Darren got sacked as Preston North End's Manager, Fergie has demanded the return of the three Man U players on loan there.

Wonder if Fergie Jnr would like to come and manage my club (Stockport) we could do with some of his daddies players to help us out

Though there is a rumour that he (Fergie) was once treated rudely at Stockport many years ago and vowed never to help us out again. So I think he is not one to forgive and forget

Rich you are a man after my own heart!

I take a pride in carrying grudges, but you've got me beat. The best I can manage is 22 years. Wife no.1.

I do like a good literary grudge. Margaret Drabble v. A.S. Byatt (they're sisters) is a good 'un. Mailer v. Vidal (I'm on both sides). McCarthy v. Hellman (I'm with Hellman on this one). I really admire people who can detest somebody else for something the other person has written.

Grudges don't even have to be a worthy thing; in fact trivial causes are even better in my book - I can't even bring myself to explain the reasons for mine!

A friend of mine once told me that he'd had a row with an oboxious woman who worked in our local post office and I banned myself, in sympathetic support, from using it even though it inconvenienced me greatly.

I can't believe you got enveloped in someone else's argument Rich - talk about stamping your feet and being frank!

Kaiser Wilhelm 2. An emotional, irrational, megalomaniac with a highly ambivalent attitude towards England and his English (and other) relatives.

His ambition to eclipse his uncle, Edward VIIth whom he disliked intensely, led to an arms race and set in train the diplomatic disasters that caused WW1 and later WW2. Unlike Hitler he was not an evil man, just totally ill-equipped for his role as leader of Germany.

Perhaps it is something about little Hitlers hiding behind security glass? Decades ago, the man who ran a certain Cotswold post office was quite unnecessarily rude and off-hand. I have fervently wished a plague of boils on the entire population of Broadway ever since.

Bastards...
