Just had a bus ride back from the city. Met a chap draped in the Spanish flag (game wasn't over). His father was Iranian, his mother Dutch, and his wife Spanish. He left the game early because his wife was in labour. Sierra Leonean on his left just wanted to be in Brazil. Danish lady opposite claimed they were shit at football but great at lager. Isn't the World Cup wonderful?

Seagrave, Campbell, Noble ... Great chaps. Bit like Everest - it was there. (I did work for the RAC at one time, so these men are gods.)

I love cricket. Great to see Sri Lankan players shaking Joe Root's hand after his 200. Proper gents.

@Mick: There's a rather sweet documentary on Jock Stein on BBC Alba that you may enjoy.

I'd whisper that very quietly if you're near Dogan Arif, Quidsy. Don't be silly, Alan: by virtue of the jam factory workers, Glasgow and Millwall are inextricably linked. What I say about one goes for the other.

I read that Hodgson used to teach at Alleyns. The World Cup just became local!

Oh for a like button!

You should probably read Danny Baker's autobiography - Bermondsey wasn't all doom and gloom (and it has the finest football team in Christendom).

Bet he's got a sore head this morning. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jun/10/somerset-sussex-county-championship-match-report

Thanks James, will do.

According to on-line Oxford Dictionaries, it is both formal and familiar. But since we're all intimates on this forum, I think it will be fine to use it. As for those people who begin a sentence with 'but' ...

Just finished watching "Happy Valley". Rather good I thought.

Wouldn't it be easier (and prettier) if we returned to thee, thy, thou? Your/you're mix up drives me mad.

Thank you James. The biggest problem I can see is that when the lights are on red on Lordship Lane, cars do a wild right turn in to ED Grove. Perhaps a phased right turn with intervals for pedestrians to cross would be the way forward.

Has anyone ever owned a share of a racehorse :)

Good jockey - good luck. -
I think lychees are a bit marmite. I find them revolting. Hasn't everyone eaten eyeballs?

Patrick Jane's white socks. -
They taste of exactly what they look like: eyeballs.

I too loved the lasagne and salads, but the expense meant it was a very occasional treat. Never had a problem with the staff - always found them most obliging. The shop over the road, however, is fantastic - I buy something in there most days and the chaps are really lovely.
-
Just been into Wilsons in Peckham, they are offering a ?20 service until next weekend. I just popped in to get a reflector and the chap tweaked my brakes for free. So lovely in there.

Ah, West Germany 1970. At the end of the sticker book is my memory.

Thanks. Happy Election Day.

James, please would you reconsider having a zebra crossing on East Dulwich Grove near Lordship Lane? It is very hard to cross safely there - most motorists don't seem to recognise the Highway Code that states if a car is turning into a road that a pedestrian is already crossing, the pedestrian has right of way. Thanks.

I watched it - thought it was rather good. However, there was a follow-up programme hosted by Martha Carney which did my head in. If you want to burst a blood vessel, watch that too. It's a drama FFS!
