Since replacing my dying laptop, which suffered from over heating and several annoying 'blue screens'. I promised myself I wouldn't break a certain rule, I'm not going to say what that is but basically it annoys me that I have. It's almost on par with going to the city ground, anyone remember @tonyhateley's confession regarding that?

Can anyone suggest any suitable punishments?

Shall I replicate Bart Simpson and write many 'I should break my golden rule' x amount of times or perhaps, I should lay off picking on Tony and @super_ram? At least for a bit.

Suggest some

Hi all you magpies

I am as my username states a disenchanted red, so I have decided to jump ship to see Notts from now on.

It's like a circus over there and I am fed up with it.

I've also persuaded a lot of folk who sit around me to come over and support Notts, in fact there is a growing number of people who are thinking of making the move. If anyone wants to come and say hello to us we will be in the kop at the next game, we haven't got our Notts shirts yet so we will have to wear our Forest shirts but hopefully that won't be a problem, there are about 50 or 60 of us. Can't wait to get down the lane and support our new team.

YOU PIES FOR EVER

Football often gets criticised. The players are overpaid. The sport has been corrupted by money. There's no pride in football any more. But even just in the last decade or so, I can pinpoint several runs, moments, happenings in football that are straight out of a feelgood Hollywood film, or a fairytale. And I'm not just talking "small club has amazing cup run", I'm talking about communities, nations that are ravaged by unrest, poverty, strife, disaster, that are given a huge shot of adrenaline thanks to moments in football. Moments that people will truly cherish for the rest of their lifetime. Here are just a few examples from the last few years in my ever so humble opinion.

Zambia winning the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations

Aside from the fact that Zambia are a small, unheralded team probably on a par with, say Latvia or Estonia, featuring no marquee names, they used to have a team back in the 90s that was deemed good enough to make the World Cup, but in 1993, a plane crash sadly killed most of the team. And where did this crash happen? Gabon, where the 2012 ACN was co-hosted. So for them to go on and beat some of the continent's greatest teams and win the competition outright was an absolutely incredible showing.

Iraq winning the 2007 Asian Nations Cup

Iraq, a country in the middle of a war, went on to beat regional powerhouses Australia, Saudi Arabia and South Korea to win this trophy against all odds.

Japan winning the 2011 Women's World Cup

The Japanese women's team is of an alright standard, but nowhere near the top echelons, which are graced by Germany, the USA and Sweden. Nevertheless, they went on to shock all three and win the trophy. In 2011 Japan also experienced a calamitous earthquake and tsunami, so the victory was all the more poignant.

Tahiti's goal in the Confederations Cup against Nigeria

Only one measly goal, a consolation strike in a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of the African champions, before two games which saw 18 goals put past them without reply, but for lowly Tahiti, a small country in the Pacific, to even make it to the Confederations Cup (New Zealand was sensationally beaten by the Solomon Islands in the Oceania Nations Cup, with the victors of that bout being then turned over by Tahiti) was a miracle in itself, but for them to score a goal... you can see how much it meant to them, and to all football neutrals the world over. They will never forget that moment.

I was wondering are we doing a world cup prediction league? Once the 'main' season is over I thought maybe we could do a world cup league...plus it keeps us all remembering the site and non-NCFC footie fans may fancy a go aswell

Kids make me laugh when they are trying to do April Fools jokes.

Our grandson George hasn't quite got the hang of the fact that it has to be at least partly believable.

Here are a few examples of his today:

"Grandad a plane has just landed in the garden"

"Grandad you've got your shoes on in the house" - we only allow slippers.

"Granny look out there's a big spider on your head"

Of course we had to pretend to be fooled by his tricks.

What April Fools joke did your kids/grandkids play on you today?

Hi guys,

Not sure if you or anybody you know has been diagnosed with a learning disability. It's not fun.

I can read and write very well, however I suffer from ADHD, i am taking medication for it.

I must have carried it over from my childhood., since I have been in the workforce I have been in approximately 20 positions. One or two have lasted more than 1-2 years. it is very hard to concentrate on one specific task.

I'm on the lookout for a new job again. I only had my last job for two months, and they said that I wasn't making enough sales, without warning and no indication of discrepancies. Plus I was on probation for the first 90 days so they had every right of course, So here I go again in the job hunt.

As always, keep smiling and carry-on, that's all you can do.

have a fantastic day everyone

What with @4everapie,@Canadian and @hissingdwarf and the usual flu/colds we can now add @notts_joe to the list. I've just had a phone call from Cheeky telling me that Joe has had to go to hospital for a X-ray after dislocating his 'good' knee.

Het Nederlands heeft het WK Twenty20 afgesloten met een eclatante overwinning op Engeland: de geschiedenis herhaalde zich na de zege van Oranje in 2009 op hetzelfde land tijdens het WK T20 in Engeland op Lord's.

I hope this doesn't need translating

Gosh this week is a busy one. We have a family wedding on Saturday....I have my dress but still need shoes (darn it shoe shopping  ) I also have my nieces and nephews easter eggs to pick up....and Harry's easter present (Which involves going to an opening of a new toy store....it's not like it is going to be busy is it ).

But to de-stress I plan on doing some more smash booking (abit like scrap booking but more fun) as well as crochet. Which I have been doing like mad.

I also have orders from my son, nieces and nephew to make some more goodies for them on my loom....mainly minion keyrings and bracelets.

What are you all up to this week / weekend?

 Nathan Tyson: Notts County extend Blackpool striker's deal

Blackpool striker Nathan Tyson has extended his loan spell with Notts County until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old was signed on a month-long deal from Blackpool and has made three appearances but is yet to score.

He has started three games and came on as a substitute in the last three - all of which Notts have won to climb out of the League One relegation zone.

The ex-Nottingham Forest and Derby man has not started a game for Blackpool since joining in September 2013.

Thank you for everyone who participated, everyone seemed very upbeat today!

We had a high hit-rate with people agreeing to be interviewed. Could it have been the sympathy vote for @notts-joe with his crutch??

Happy mothers day to all the mums and Grandmas on here.

Tell us what you've been upto today...

I listened to an interview that Shaun Derry gave on Radio Nottingham this morning and I thought it was spot on.

I can't remember the exact words but he said that the players need to forget all that is going on around the club at the moment with the great escape talk and posters and everything, they need to focus on the game on Saturday and make sure they are at their best and get three points. He said we have had too many false dawns and he didn't want this to be another one.

Well said Shaun, the last thing we want is a big crowd on Saturday all expectant, the loud speakers playing the Great Escape theme tune and then the players not putting in a performance and we lose and end up back to square one. They need to forget all the hype and concentrate on playing the game the same as they have the last two games.

Please vote for March's Member of the Month!

This month nominations have been selected by @GrannyPie, keep in her good books by voting folks. You have 5 days to do so!

One Vote - Please choose who you feel is the most deserving, if you're in the running please vote for someone else and hopefully this will be fun for all involved! Voting ends on the 29th at 7:30pm, not long after the winner will be announced. It's been a struggling month for us, we've been injury hit and with Notts not doing so well - I would suspect quite a few fans are down.
 

Thank you to everyone for your contributions!
 

Please do vote as normal, let's see if we can beat 25 votes!! You Pies!

Just Reading up on the Lifeline thread, i thought it would be a good idea to form a Pub Quiz.

You don't have to sign up or Owt, just for a Bit of Fun. "I WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING"

I will be giving 1 point for the correct answer and forming tables based on points.

THis is going to be a Very General Knowlage quiz. (Read the Questions Carefully);

Question # 1 :

Which Country are the Nazca Lines in?

Sadly I have to inform you all that Enoch won't be returning to the lane this season. He has signed for Plymouth for the rest of the season, after his Torquay loan period finished. (All pending FA approval)

Oh well.

here was me thinking he could give Ronan or Jimmy a run for their money.

    (please note sarcasm in typed voice!)

My Facebook app on my phones alerted me to this birthday, happy birthday Giorgio! ( @Italian Magpies )

I hope you have a great day mate with all your family and friends (including like me Online one's)

Best wishes!
