Great line you’d appreciate @ixan57.Kid on bus tells the cop he found his grandad dead…”It was the Tennent’s and crisps that got him.”

Not reached the end yet Dan.

Is anyone else being plagued by adverts on the Nest ?

Watching Dept Q on Netflix just now as I remember the original Danish series being very good.Seems like the storyline is similar but set in Edinburgh rather than Copenhagen and the humour is hi-viz.Centres round a very rude and arrogant English cop(don’t suppose you ever came across one of those @hunnybunny?) living in Scotland.Only 1/2 hour into…[Read more]

Can’t say I have @desperate-dan though the name did trigger off a long forgotten childhood memory.You might find this hard to believe but I was quite cheeky as a nipper.Anyway there was an older boy who used to visit our neighbourhood called Dougie Taws and I used to shout “Doug the Thug!” whenever I saw him(from a distance of course).However one…[Read more]

I get emotional watching the news and if there’s an item about child neglect/abuse I have to switch off due to a mixture of rage and sadness.I could not have been a police officer.More from The Montgolfier Brothers later I think who seem to write a lot of songs about loss and regret though Roger Quigley who wrote most of the lyrics was quite a…[Read more]

Never mind just seen your comment on walk through page.I agree with @hallieginsb.

What happened to yourscore @desperate-dan?

Of course I didn’t pay her anything.Are you mad?

Now before you change channel this isn’t the usual silly bollox I like to play.If Adele hasn’t given this song a little credit for Skyfall she should be ashamed of herself.You might need tissues for this one.https://youtu.be/KqQXg847coc?si=fht6YlqhiXHsCUCE

Rain on today might have a go at the Challenge but Rivelino’s gutters will have to wait.

I used to clean Pele’s windows.

No spilling of beans Bunny you must use that forensically sharp ex-copper brain of yours(is that a contradiction in terms?)

John Charles what a legend brilliant centre- forward,brilliant- centre back and was a massive success in Italy.Best Welsh player ever?All round top bloke as well by all accounts.

Ironic to think they were such a rarity back then.I can remember two very distinctly from around that period and they were both very good players .Albert Johanson of Leeds Utd(Dirty Leeds as my Derby Co. supporting uncle always calls them with relish) and Clyde Best(George’s identical twin brother) who graced West Ham’s colours.

Can’t imagine rude or offensive scenarios going through your head Mrs Bunny

Unlike The Fall not quite a full alphabet from the boys(not surprising given 30+ studio albums v 7).No X so we go staight to Y or as @desperate-dan would say “Why???”https://youtu.be/JkhrOjLD1f0?si=oe_ksnpZFrfuWf0f

Let’s be honest England were absolutely heist during this time period.Humiliated by the USA in 50 (no offence @catsnbirds) and not even getting out of the group stage .Only slightly better in 54 where they squeaked through the group but were gubbed in the qfinal by Uruguay.Think the motto’Not as good as they think they are’ applies(and still…[Read more]

The mists of time make it hard to be objective and the 8-3 was misleading as W.Germany put out their B side in the group match.The Germans as ever were crafty being the first to use detatchable studs so they didn’t have to change boots in adverse weather.There were also allegations of amphetemines being injected which believe it or not wasn’t…[Read more]

The only team that came close to that Brazil team was the Holland side. of 74 under Rinus Michels playing fantastic ‘total football’.Sadly they never won  a World Cup beaten by a Teutonic tactical masterclass in the final.Krol,Haan,Neeskens,Van Hanagem, Cruyff,Rep,Rensenbrink etc.

Not quite as good as Tostao,Gerson,Rivelino,Pele,Jairzinho,Carlos…[Read more]

Keep going @hunnybunny you’re getting there.
