The Oldies Thread

…..fish on a normal Friday is still a thing; Fish Friday. I have fish every Friday for evening meal.

I think Good Friday is more about the religious aspect of not eating meat. Mrs Eggs is a RC, today I had fresh salmon for lunch and will be having fresh cod for tea.
Me and fish have an uneasy relationship all stemming from the school dinners served up to me in my primary school from the mid fifties. Friday was no meat day, cheese pie or fish. When I say fish, to this day I maintain the fish content was like those cartoon depictions after the cat has feasted and where there is only the head and the tail remaining joined together by the bony skeleton. The fish served with boiled potatoes and pease pudding. I hated it and you for a thick ear off Ma Bailey the head dinner lady if you didn't finish it.
 
Bunny Money. Is that still a thing these days?
My mam used to give it in place of an Easter egg to the grandkids. Usually saved up 20p pieces in a money bag.
 
Also The sadistic Gym masters & wall bars in the 1960s - hated GYM - 2 minutes allowed to get changed - or you got the Slipper your pumps over your arsp -

…..remember a staff v pupil game and because I was at LFC they wouldn’t let me play but asked me to referee. One of the teachers slid into a tackle and broke the leg of one of the pupils 🫣, remember it well to this day. Match abandoned, just wonder if there’d be law suits these days.
 
My older brother was playing for the School team probables v the original School team - he was in at right back for the probable's team - the School team had a then winger who went on to join Bolton Fc - he was so fast the ref sports master was egging my brother on to hit him hard - My brother retorted i would if I could catch him sir -

Half time the sports master stated - I will change that winger & I will go on the wing don't forget to tackle me hard - So my brother in the first minute of the 2nd half hit him that hard he broke his collar bone ambulance called etc - match abandoned :D -

A certain Doug Livermore was in that team went on to join the other lot - had a few games for them & moved on ....

Hope you sent him off before the game was abandoned @Eggs :red:
