As a fairly solitary bod of a certain age, I will wander aimlessly through eBay from time to time, whereupon my eye is occasionally drawn to a nice enamel pin badge of the sort that has been common to football supporters for as far back as I can remember: ie the sixties, and surely before that.
I mention it because I have just purchased, for £3.20 + p&p, a good one commemorating the Conference playoff final last May, with both clubs' crests. It came in 2 types: with black or white surround. I chose the white.
I don't have a huge collection of enamel badges: less than 50, I should think, but about 20 of these are Rovers ones, which I keep on my blue woolly hat and wear to matches. The non-Rovers ones are mostly foreign clubs and country ones I've bought in moments of artistic enthusiasm during World Cups.
Am I alone on the forum in this habit?

Incidentally, which film buff can name the movie which I took the title of this thread from?
No Googling.

Our new physio doesn't collect badges. Will he be allowed onto the pitch if he wears my woolly hat? |

It was a Bogart movie. Can't remember which without Googling.

To Pirateman: It was.
(Although it's actually a mis-quote, used in a later movie in the words I've used. But I was thinking of Bogart saying it.)

I've got a few from different events and places over time. Building up on a Cork board in my kitchen at the moment. Got one at Wembley from the club wembley shop as well as one from the Wycombe away where we thought we were staying up. Not alone with that as im sure a few others have.

That is the later film that used the 'misquote' that I've used, yes. Obviously referencing the Bogart line. Well done to you. |

Could "Blazing Saddles" be made today? I know I still watch and find it every bit as funny as I did years ago (but then I still find Porky's and animal house funny) The world has seemed to have passed this old sexist racist homophobic by. It still seems to be ok to show it on main stream tv even though I think if someone remade it word for word all hell would brake loose.

Maybe because Mel Brooks often tackled race/religion from his Jewish perspective and was thought to be laughing at racism rather than promoting it e.g. Springtime for Hitler. You're right though, no-one would get that made today. Humour is very strictly policed now and comics have to be reliably left-PC to get on radio or TV, I think. |

It was the same with the Life Of Brian,
very clever and extremely funny for all the right reasons.
But some people at the time could only see it as blasphemous to their religion.

Yes, can't imagine why they thought that lol. I look forward to the sequel based on Mohammed. Now where did I put my tin hat? I'm off to the bunker. |

I thought the 'stinking badges' quote was from Bad Boys. |
