Organised fun. I can't stand it.

You must be a blast at parties, weddings, etc!

It would seem this impasse is pretty easily remedied then isn't it?

Quote from: Edmund Blackadder
“Well, it is so often the way, sir, too late one thinks of what one should have said. Sir Thomas More, for instance — burned alive for refusing to recant his Catholicism — must have been kicking himself, as the flames licked higher, that it never occurred to him to say, ‘I recant my Catholicism.'”

I'm with Leighton. Forced fun I call it - people insisting on fancy dress is the worst.

I'm sat in the corner with Percy and Leighton snarling at anybody attempting to get me to participate in such nonsense. First person to say cheer up gets their head kicked in.

Somebody behind me once had a go at me because I wasn't, as the song goes, "stand(ing) up if you love Villa".

Idiot.

That yellow wall at Dortmund with all that flag waving, wonder if anyone ever sees anything in that end
Think it's standing but can convert to sitting for European games, might be wrong though

Is correct, as are a number of German stadia.  It's the model for the safe standing we were pushing for under Faulkner (and I believe Celtic have approval for a trial now?)
