... the budgies seem to be getting worked up about a number of their staff jumping ship to come to work for The Pride of Anglia. There's a four pager on the Oink 'Un about it; it's a little bit angsty.

NB: They seem to call us 'binners' for some reason if I'm reading it right. I guess that's a contraction and mis-spelling of 'has-beens'? What would the same treatment of 'never-wases' yield? |  |

No it’s a reference to an old episode of Lovejoy, featuring a binman wearing an ITFC hat. |  | | |

They’ve always called us binners, something about bin men or whatever on some comedy sketch. Strange. |  |

think 'binners' comes from a a 30 second clip from Lovejoy back in the 90s where a dear refuse collector was wearing an ITFC cap. Quite lame but as long as it makes them happy. [Post edited 27 Jun 2022 21:35]

It was Lovejoy. A bin man was wearing a Town hat. |  |

Ah yes, now I remember. Thanks all five of you for putting me straight.
PS: I do rather admire the scholarly elegance of Bloots' concise response to this tweet. | |

....Mick.
As a result he took great pleasure in our relegation and wasn't afraid to say it:
|
That's it. Thanks.
I recall it now.
Assuming he's not a Norwich fan and he's only interest is being mates with Mick or a fan of Mick then that's still a very aggressive and disproportionate amount of happiness at our demise. |  | | |

It's reminded me of your finest moment, when Phil banned you from here for bullying Asa on Twitter. | |

Ahh, the mask slips, it's all about the £££ for Phil.
Always knew it, next thing we'll find out is that you don't actually like football and Skateboarding has always been your first love. |  |

Great days.

Phil is secretly Callis? That would explain why so many right wingers got banned  | |

I stopped reading when somebody masquerading as a jar of pickle got really angry about the definition of "Key Worker".

It's a strange on isn't it, the old warring threads always seem to come out during the off season...

It was on the Drama channel only recently. Episode called: Bin Diving. Warren Clarke played the foreman of a bin lorry wearing a Town baseball cap. (had a northern accent as well for some reason) He wore it throughout the episode, a bit longer than 30 secs hence the bird brains up the road associating us with refuse collectors. They were probably mad as hell that the entire series featured Suffolk and very rarely Norfolk. |  |

They always seem to have a thread about us even when we were 2 divisions apart. I’d like to think if the roles were reversed they would be forgotten |  |

I think you will find, but cant be sure, its from a 1970s comedy series called 'The Dustbin Men' where one of the refuse men used to wear a Town beanie or scarf...cant remember which. [Post edited 27 Jun 2022 18:06]

They're absolute weapons grade cockwombles when it comes to "banter" aren't they? This is a fanbase that brought you 1p5wich with no sense of irony, and a poster celebrating a last second draw.
I hope they do a Derby and their lives are filled with ennui for generations. |  |
