What are the origins of the squirrel meme on here?

 

[Ian Moore Gone Little]

The night I first met my wife Yellow Submarine was playing and a very early video playing on a TV screen along with it. Apart from my soon-to-be-wife that was the only thing I remember from that night. So Yellow Submarine has a special place, I actually don't like it! Though Mrs VP lasted 45 years.

My earliest association with the Beatles predates my own memories. I’m told that one day I suddenly belted out “We all live in a yellow submarine” at the top of my approximately three-year-old voice in the middle of the Co-op on Hucknall Road. A few years later my granny bought me the Corgi Toys yellow submarine, which (I hope!) I still have somewhere.

I've posted on here for 12 years now and still haven't a clue - it's a tradition as old as time.

Years ago there used to be two squirrels who posted on here (GreyStar77 and SeldomSeenRed IIRC) who got into a fight over who looked more squirrel-like, Nicky Eaden or Danny Cullip

There was mutual engagement which sadly escalated into a tussle, both of them were banned, and an LTLF meme was born

 

[Mr. Blonde]

The answer by the way, was Nicky Eaden

Squirrels serve as a poignant proxy for the human inclination towards facile diversion. Their innate predisposition for erratic behavior, characterized by their capricious darting and scurrying, mirrors our own susceptibility to distraction. Observing their antics, one discerns a reflection of our own penchant for being easily diverted from the posts at hand. Their frenetic energy, manifested in their acrobatic leaps and sudden shifts in direction, embodies the fleeting nature of our focus, easily swayed by the allure of novelty. Thus, squirrels stand as emblematic symbols of our shared proclivity for diversionary posts.

The origins of Nottingham Forest Football Club are steeped in history, folklore, and a touch of whimsy, with squirrels playing an unexpected yet pivotal role. Legend has it that in the late 19th century, a group of Nottingham residents gathered in the city's Arboretum Park for a friendly game of football. As they played, they were observed by a curious band of squirrels, who darted among the trees and watched the proceedings with keen interest. Inspired by the energy and agility of these woodland creatures, the players adopted the squirrel as their unofficial mascot and symbol of their team spirit.

From that moment on, the squirrels became intertwined with the identity of the burgeoning football club, which eventually came to be known as Nottingham Forest. The team's colors, red and white, are said to have been chosen in homage to the russet hue of the squirrels' fur and the purity of their white underbellies. Even the club's nickname, "The Reds," is thought to stem from this association with the forest-dwelling rodents.

But it's not just symbolism that connects Nottingham Forest to its bushy-tailed namesakes; there's a deeper, more profound connection at play. Just as squirrels are known for their industriousness, resourcefulness, and tenacity in the face of adversity, so too have Nottingham Forest embodied these qualities throughout their storied history. From their humble beginnings as a community team to their rise to prominence in English football, the club has consistently punched above its weight, defying expectations and overcoming obstacles with the same relentless determination as its woodland counterparts.

Even today, as Nottingham Forest navigates the complexities of modern football, the spirit of the squirrel endures as a guiding force. Whether it's the unwavering support of the fans, the resilience of the players on the pitch, or the club's ongoing commitment to its community roots, the influence of the squirrel can be felt at every turn. In this sense, these unassuming creatures serve as the unheralded cornerstone of Nottingham Forest Football Club, reminding us that greatness often lies in the most unexpected of places.

"The appeal was held last Wednesday but, unlike the independent commission which heard Forest’s initial case, there is no seven-day timeframe for it to be resolved."

I know its the BBC but if true we could still not know this time next week based on this!!!

A delay until as late as possible potentially assists the PL/Sky narrative to build and retain the tension in the relegation battle.

Back in the days when the online evening post was not just a bombardment of adverts, there used to be somebody who would continually post inane stories in the comments section, many of which made reference to squirrels. I think he got banned in the end but at the time, probably 18 or so years ago, it brought much more joy than reading about Forest

Other way round for me. We could end this weekend four points clear of Luton, five of Burnley, with two games to go.

The last thing the PL will want to do is resolve the relegation battle with their announcement. It'll be a terrible look.

Opposite for me. The more it makes me think we haven’t and the club kicking off in the background is delaying the public announcement.

But we’re all just guessing.

Exactly the reason I think we could be getting some back if we wasn't its 2 points between 3 teams and tight could of announced that on Monday

I “reckon” we’ll know after the blunts game

It is the ancient and deep magic.

 

[tomw94]

This will be delayed and delayed so companies such as Sky can still showcase a relegation race.
Let’s say we get all 4 points back, if they announce that today then the bottom 3 is pretty much decided.
If they hold and hold until the final game of the season, they can still showcase the race and gamble on the possibility that results have gone in the favour of TV drama.
It’s all about money.
