I can only assume Spurty, that you have been afflicted with heat stroke from wearing that bucket on your head all this time.

No.

Brassy 50+ women working in a chippy wearing loads of sovereign rings on heavily nicotine stained fingers
who iron their faces in the morning and have cleavages resembling skin on a custard tart

Do you work for their tourist board?

5 things about Burnley.

1) During Burnley’s BNP voting period a few years back, the fascist Council drew widespread condemnation with the reintroduction of their traditional annual Race Riots.
2) Burnley is currently the subject of intense Scientific Research when it was discovered that the Town is incapable of sustaining Hipster life. It is hoped a widespread cure can be found for other parts of the Country within the next decade.
3) Bénédictine and hot water, known locally as "Bene 'n' Hot" is a popular local drink, after soldiers stationed in Normandy during WW1 formed an addiction to it. The Burnley Miners' Club is the world's largest consumer of the French liqueur, and has its own Bénédictine Lounge
4) The residents of Burnley still wear clogs to this day in tribute to the Crusty Anarco-Punk Band Chumbawamba who popularised the act of throwing clogs at John Prescott
5) Burnley will be officially the last UK Town to leave the 1970's, whenever their love affair with sideburns, orange and brown suits, flares and racist politics ends.


What are your thoughts, memories or drug-fuelled hallucinatory mind-farts about Burnley?
Go!

Memories of Burnley;
2nd to the best Spurs side ever over a couple of seasons.
Came to Goodison in the Cup and squashed me near to death with an over 70,000 gate.
Came to Goodison when we were struggling Champions in 63 and kicked lumps off us to win 3-4
Came to Goodison in the early 70's with the hot wing wizard Leighton James only to find himself in Terry Darracott's pocket.
Has some decent players and big CF's
Good enough for Martin Dobson & Trevor Steven, Good enough for me.
Got left slowly left behind after the maximum wage went west, like a lot of other Lancs. Clubs beginning with 'B' and 'P'
Sound them - but you knew that eh Chico...said so in your preview.

I lurked for a while mate.

 

[Martino Robertez]

No.

Make your mind up please, I’m getting tired trying to keep up with all your lots random inaccurate accusations.

 

[Martino Robertez]

You lurked until your previous Alias got banned you mean?

Who are you really pal?

an Evertonian me mate.

I take it you’ve not been comedy ‘outed’ by the Clique yet then? Or are you one of them so immune?

Which members of the Clique are currently banned? And who’s bans coincide with your posting?

 

[Martino Robertez]

And the Clique are nowhere to be seen for a change.

It’s almost as if they have no interest in unmasking this particular multi.

Ended up wandering around Burnley market a few years back with a mate who kept going on about how great the black pudding was in Burnley. We never found any. Lots of Bourbon may have been involved.

Outside some fella had set up a merry-go-round for the kids. It was literally a circular piece of plywood, painted red with a load of kids garden furniture nailed to it. He was pushing it around with his foot...

Burnley, what a place.
