But how will the away teams get to Millwall? We need South Bermondsey as a strategic ambush point. Selfish the lot of you!

I blame Surrey.

Not sad at all! I've seen a green woodpecker on the Rye before - could it be that?

If it had a bog that's close enough.

A cross is just a symbol - it is not worshipped, that would be idolatory. It's a way to recognise Xians easily just as a fish still is today. Leaglebeagle, if you were to give up your child to save someone else I suspect it wouldn't matter as to the method of execution, the pain and grief would be intolerable for you. It's not in the amount of suffering physically so much as the separation from God that is amazing, it's just easier for us mere mortals to focus on something tangible.

Absolutely, season of mists and marshmallows and all that.

Gutted. Wagonwheels are much nicer than chocolate crosses.

Oh Scott, don't you see? It's his cackhanded way of asking for serving wenches with breasts bursting out of loosely-tied chemises.

Bloody Nora - I forgot the final was on. You and I could fall out kpc, I am a Maid of Kent!

I don't like that the teams are listed in their groups and not alphabetically. It was always very satisfying that West Germany were last in the sticker book.

Interesting question, one I've never thought of before. Pretty significant, I'd say because of Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, eg, Psalm 22; Isaiah 52/53; Psalm 69.

Is the tennis ball in a sock to hit your partner with for getting you into this sorry mess?

I grudgingly have to admit that it was good to have KP in the side. But I'm still not in favour of flying back mid-tour.

Have a 'John Terry' you're welcome too.* *Hasten to point out I have a teenager in the house, nothing to do with me, oh no no.

Oh for goodness' sake, Mick Mac, next you'll be saying Seven Dials doesn't have seven clocks!

Just don't visit Pratt's Bottom, Sean, you will be utterly disappointed.

I meant 'politically correct' in an ironic, political way; not in the perjorative sense it's generally used!

Mockney, I'm with you re elected upper house. Call me naive, but I always hope that noblesse oblige will out.

Actually, Brendan, as someone who grew up with Sinn Feinn/IRA being pretty synonymous, it is hard to stop using them as interchangeable words. Not politically correct, of course, but fairly understandable.

And a page on fripperies is joyous? Stewards please.

Southwark Council have a dog warden whom it may be worth contacting.

I checked on him yesterday - he was breathing so I left him! Think he may be the same chap I saw yesterday afternoon lying on his bag in Gowlett Road. He's quite young (mid 20s), very aggressive and doesn't want any help. Not a lot one can do in that situation.

And Oxford Circus isn't round ...
