Gorgeous whisky, little by little to be savoured at that price. :tumbler: :tumbler:

as I mentioned in the Super League thread OB, I thought the performance was much improved despite the scoreline.

Aye, it's only a laugh OB, but some folks get offended by anything and everything :)

Hopefully, we get three wins and promotion. Cos staying in this league will be disastrous, there will be an exodus of our best players.

I look forward to my wobble :lol:

Sadly not, spotted it at a scooter rally over here many years ago. I have the our badge on the glove box of my PX125E

I don't usually take requests, but since you asked so nicely :twisted:

Ode to the Silver Citrus: Celebrating Seven Decades of Orange Box!

At seventy, Orange Box grins,
With a whiskey for all of his sins.
His hair’s going gray, in a distinguished way,
And he's sporting a few more chins.

He jokes that his prime’s in the past,
But assures us his charm will still last.
With a wink and a smile, he'll go the extra mile,
Though he's slower, and can't run as fast!

So cheers to you, Orange, my friend,
May your 70s twist and not bend.
Keep living with zest, as you jest,
And party until the grand end!
In Farke we trust...

That’s what I’m talking about. You should do birthday cards poems, you’re a natural 😁😁

Sounds like you took advice from Weasel as to where to insert the crumpet. Schoolboy error.
Ipswich won’t fade. As predicted.
