Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
WTF is thanksgiving anyway?
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
Basically the Yanks and Canadians version of Harvest festival, they nicked it of us but obviously changed the name to make it bigger and better than ours and then claimed they invented it

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
There's quite a delay on home shirts at them moment as they have to be ordered in.
Size wise, I believe they're fairly standard, unlike the silly sizes we had for the last couple of years.

So pleased you live in the states if that is the kind of abuse you dish out, but please learn some history about the little history you have in your countryfootifan wrote:There is always one ...at least...Thanksgiving is getting away from thick C...ts like you.

In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is commonly, but not universally, traced to a poorly documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest.
In later years, religious thanksgiving services were declared by civil leaders such as Governor Bradford who planned a thanksgiving celebration and fast in 1623.[8][9][10] The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s.[11]
Pilgrims and Puritans who began emigrating from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. Several days of Thanksgiving were held in early New England history that have been identified as the "First Thanksgiving", including Pilgrim holidays in Plymouth in 1621 and 1623, and a Puritan holiday in Boston in 1631.[12][13]
Thanksgiving proclamations were made mostly by church leaders in New England up until 1682, and then by both state and church leaders until after the American Revolution. During the revolutionary period, political influences affected the issuance of Thanksgiving proclamations. Various proclamations were made by royal governors, John Hancock, General George Washington, and the Continental Congress, each giving thanks to God for events favorable to their causes.[14] As President of the United States, George Washington proclaimed the first nation-wide thanksgiving celebration in America marking November 26, 1789, "as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God".[15]
According to historian Jeremy Bangs, director of the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, the Pilgrims may have been influenced by watching the annual services of Thanksgiving for the relief of the siege of Leiden in 1574, while they were staying in Leiden.[16]
Every year, the President of the United States will "pardon" a turkey, which spares the bird's life and ensures that it will spend the duration of its life roaming freely on farmland.[17]
Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
Err the abuse was not aimed at you , but the other thicko.. Thanksgiving is open to lots of speculation as your wikepedia notes say... Terminology my learned friend... ( According to historian Jeremy Bangs, director of the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, the Pilgrims may have been influenced by watching the annual services of Thanksgiving for the relief of the siege of Leiden in 1574, while they were staying in Leiden.[16] ) ) which is actually in Holland.
As for learning about US history ...err probably forgotten more than you would ever know...
Yes I am very happy to have left such bigotry behind & quite frankly more interested in buying some shirts to help the club, (They are for some friends over here to help increase the interest & investment in the club I support)...than point scoring in a debate that i don't really care to have...Off out now for my Turkey & pumpkin pie...Have a great harvest festival day !!!

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
That's a bit harsh, to be fair. It's not all unexpected that a foreigner may not know exactly what Thanksgiving is. Same with Bastille day in France and Guy Fawkes night over here.footifan wrote:Err the abuse was not aimed at you , but the other thicko.

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
In my limited experience American sizes tend to be larger than ours. For example their large is larger than our large. So If I'm a large, and buy large in the States it will be too large.
So if you're are American and want your large, perhaps try extra large.

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
Nah, I'm not having it, it's way too harsh. I didn't study history beyond school but I have taken a big interest in British history over the last couple of years. If this is so basic and significant outside of America, then it would have crossed my path by now.Jazz Maverick wrote:It's basic history to be fair mate.Makka Pakka wrote:I'm a thick c*nt for not knowing what thanksgiving is about?

You must be pretty insular and unaware if you've literally never heard of thanksgiving.
I never studied history beyond GCSE either
Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
Footifan if you ask really nicely I'm sure Keltie would send you one of his shirts. I'm sure you would wear it with pride.

Who said I'd never heard of it? I asked what it was about.You must be pretty insular and unaware if you've literally never heard of thanksgiving.
The first guy thought he knew and was shot down, and the super-intelligent one actually said it was "open to speculation".

And I'm surprised you didn't know what it was about, I thought it was fairly well known.

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
holds more water that the Dutch and Leiden, just look at all the other countries that have similar "thanks giving days" to this one, not a windmill or mouse or holey piece of cheese in sight but history is always open to interpretation and I really could not give a flying fuck about it.Jazz Maverick wrote:And I'm surprised you didn't know what it was about, I thought it was fairly well known.

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
I would probably size up. When I go on the site selling the away strips a box automatically pops up giving me the cost to ship directly to Georgia, so I figure they're well set up to despatch (sorry, dIspatch) them quickly.footifan wrote:Hey guys Happy Thanksgiving...( Tell them here that Thanksgiving is celebrated on July 4th in England )

Re: Shirt sizing... for Texas
Yes Spyman ...It was a dark & stormy night lol
Actually the 1882 game I was watching the egg chasers as the soccer team had not been formed yet...I was at the meeting when they formed though...
Wow a Keltie shirt ...that would be wonderful...such a hero of mine.
Sorry to cause a stir re Thanksgiving / harvest festival day/ Yom Kippur/ Gay Pride/Dutch independence day...I only wanted to know about shirt sizes.
Decided to wait for home uniform if they ever arrive.
Actually got a sensible PM re the sizings. Thanks Ritchie
Oh Spyman , if you checked your facebook page instead of reading your back copies of Gay Cycling ( Lycra shorts for men issue ), you would see i am a fighting fit / slimmed down version of the man you know ...lol
