Dalziel Kane Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I honestly can't tell if people are being sincere or not. I was quite rushed this afternoon at time of initial response and guessed at once that couldn't possibly be his new car, simply doesn't fit the profile. Maybe a frequently owned jalopy or something but nothing so extravagant as mentioned. Then now, I think it could be true, then moments later I had my doubts again. I'm still very skeptical about all this and have every reason to be, but will let it lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Oh great, I've just found out that my old college is haunted. I left my college in June 2012 and spent nearly a year in the place which is supposed to be haunted (beginning the year in September 2011). Now before I begin I'm as skeptical as the next person about the paranormal but I have to say that whenever we were in the building it did seem rather eerie. It was a two-floored building that was reletavly new but one which felt 'odd' and it's a feeling that I can't describe unless someone has been within a building that is supposidly home to ghosts. I've left now as you all know and in the news this week is the reports of a ghost being sighted on the motorway bridge (about a 10 minute walk from the campus) and the bridge in question is the one which connects the town to Langtree Park (home of St.Helens Rugby Club). Apparantly this is what happened; Only last weekend my mum and dad were up there shopping when they crossed the bridge over the road towards Tesco when my dad noticed a young lad of about 13/14 coming towards him. What made him look at this kid was the fact that the kid had grey hair! As he passed, my dad said to my mum "did you see that kid’s hair? "To which my mum replied "what kid?" When they both turned round there was nobody on the bridge. My dad was shocked, he said there was nowhere this kid could have disappeared so quick. He even checked over the sides of the bridge nobody there ^so that's what all the fuss is about at the moment regarding the 'Ghost on the Bridge' but in one of the comments I found this. plenty of sightings of ghost all around the town centre,when they knocked the church down and dug up the grave yard to build the tech college extension staff refused to go in the theatre because of sightings and had it exorcised ^strange how the building was always eerie with me or my friends knowing anything about this ghost story. Now that I've learned about the history of the place I have to say it gives me the chills. I'm unsure if I'm a firm believer in the paranormal but I have to say I'm a little shaken up by the events that have un-folded in recent weeks.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 There must have been a plausible explanation to that kid sighting. I do believe in the paranormal, have a genuine interest, you have to be skeptical when the time arises. Today (25 august), Billy Bingham took charge of his first game as Everton manager, lost to Revie's dirty Leeds side, on this day in 1973. Today in 1992, Toffees' first ever premier league win, a 1-0 home success against Aston Villa, Maurice Johnston got the only goal. I don't remember this game, even though I know I should.

At the exact same moment he'd fallen out of his high chair and banged his head! Also seen many ghostly figures in the past but the doctors called that delirium tremens .

Never seen such a thing, but apparently these things are widespread around the country. http://www.paranormaldatabase.com/reports/rail.php?pageNum_paradata=6&totalRows_paradata=171 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Funny this... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-19380591 Josh's English teacher told me months ago that he'd been told in briefing that the goalposts were being moved. Not greatly bothered because he did OK but if he'd got a D I'd be up in arms . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Nikica Jelavic is 27 today. Today in 1968 - the last attendance over 60,000 at Goodison Park as nearly 64,000 watch us play Liverpool in a no score draw. Today in 1921 - our biggest ever opening day win - 5-0 - over Manchester United. Guessing nobody really remembers that day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Today (August 28) 1954 - an attendance of 77,000 people saw us beat Preston North End at Goodison Park. (wasn't that the year we were relegated last or came up from the second division?, one or the other) 1937 - William Ralph Dean scores his last goal as an Everton player 1975 - Gareth Farrelly is born.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Today, Windsor Davies is 82 Years Old. I thought he was now deceased but apparently he's alive and well and celebrates a birthday today. I saw repeats of him in 70's British 'comedy' show It Ain't Half Hot Mum, some years after the original broadcasts, and he teamed up with Don Estelle (no longer with us) to do Whispering Grass. Happy Birthday Big Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Not a date in history I care to remember, so we'll get it out the way before it really gets underway, but 29 August - 1978 - Robert Latchford scores five goals in one game, the last Everton player to achieve this, as we beat the now defunct Wimbledon 8 - 0 in a League Cup game. Last time Toffees scored eight goals in any game 1981 - Howard Kendall takes charge of an Everton game for the first time ever against Birmingham. It would be a bit of a wait for success but there you are. 1909 - ex player and manager Cliff Britton is born. Once again, hats off to anyone old enough to remember his tenure. (Last manager we had when club was relegated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I had to make an edit. And still we continue by saying that August 30 - 1930 - Toffees first ever game outside the first division, a win at Plymouth Argyle in the old second division 1995 - a 2 - 0 success at Manchester City. Think this was when Alan Ball was manager maybe, they went down on the last day of the season I think. Nothing like what we have today. Fifth game on the road with a clean sheet.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Whats up with the main index page listings not being available to non members or causal viewers? (once again) This happened before, and many agreed that it was best left as it was, so that anybody is free to look through discussions. I know of a couple of other soccer fan sites of other clubs that did this in recent times, so people can't look in on discussions without first registering. I just prefered it as it was up 'til today, i.e. could just read whatever was talked about without the need to join in. Now once again, people won't be able to see what is being said (non members), I do think there is some good talk on these pages every now and again, and now outsiders don't have the benefit of that?

Romey 1878 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Incase having so many guests crashes the site.

Dalziel Kane Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's 'panties in a bunch' where we come from.. I do appreciate the response though. It is a relief that this is only an interim measure though, I'm a fair believer that the page listings should be available to everyone. We can't have the site crash again, after all.

Dalziel Kane Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hanging was abolished in the UK in the 1950s, and they're not going to string you up for being fucking intoxicated. Maybe in some countries, but the United Kingdom quite hasn't reached those levels yet, just give them enough time though.. Incidentally, was out and about a week or two ago, and those two fucking Idiots were stumbling about and all over the place, after drinking Heineken all night ?! I didn't quite understand. Today in 1986 - we beat Oxford United at Home, the 49th consecutive match at Goodison Park where we scored a goal. Damn impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
