Oh I know someone who will play ...



He ( my friend & yours ) sent me this as a P.M



Well back in the days of 1931 I used to play for the then hot team "Rye Rovers" . Mamm used to drag me there on a one wheeled sack trolley when she had some spare time on day release from her "Iron Lung".


Did I mention I had withering polio in both legs ?


No, but that didn't stop me becoming top scorer in our team . So when ever there were a penalty or set piece I would be strapped into a body harness and fired down a strategically placed zip wire , my useless legs jangling behind me until I connected with the ball, I gathered such a mighty momentum It made a save impossible.

The team goal keepers were always recruited from the pleurisy ward, which evened things up I thought.Eventually the "Sweet F.A" as they were known then banned mechanical assistance in goal scoring.

The cat went mad & joined Moseley's blackshirts and moved in with Nancy Mitford for a short while. I didn't last though as the cat broke a crucial piece of Clarence Clift "bizarre" ( a milk jug I think ) at a bloomsbury set tea party.


Dad was always too busy to come watch ,his job as a human conduit was mens work & him manually connecting the overhead power line to the tram engine 12 hours a day, he often came home smoldering & his hair all stood on end with the static charge he carried.


He wept when our last chicken died "That chicken had heart" he cried before falling down the stairs, smashing the whiskey bottle he'd hidden in his jacket.

His trousers round his ankles, Izal in his rear end still. I'd have kicked him if I could but all I could do was throw some tinned ham at him.


Mum though was furious, fogging up the inverted mirror she viewed the world from & restrained within the contraption she so depended on for breath

"I'll waste no more on him" she spurted in between the "Psshh" & Puccht " that accompanied her daily life. Thats when the meter ran out , Mums lips went blue until I found her purse & flicked a "tanner" in, saving the day.


We later booked a trip on the Hindenberg . I really looked forward to trips like that, flying down "Hardship lane" like we were talk of the town.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
