malumbu

Too much good stuff on the first two albums, and after a while I got to like the Raven. Slightly later fave was midnight summers dream when I think that they were at their most intersting. All a bit down hill after that sadly. Saw them at five different venues but not at the Hope and Anchor. My Hugh Cornwall story is that whilst he was in Pentonville Jimmy Lydon (John's brother) started a campaign to keep him in there.

Too much pressure - Culture (or The Selector)

Why couldn't it be someone we all hated like John Terry, rather than nice Ryan Giggs. Well at least this means the story is already todays chip paper.

Is kite surfers an innuendo? Am I totally out of touch with modern life?

Pressure Drop: The Clash

Great news about the Dons!

Great idea Huguenot - can you help by finding this bloke's address, or alternatively arrange a meeting point and we can all go round in a sort of 'Looking for Eric' way and reek revenge. I've been PM'd by another person who had his bike nicked, and found 'the same one' being advertised on Gumtree by the same number. Hopefully plod will do something now.

Too comprehensive. It is taken straight from the Halfords web site. I've informed the cycling task force. If everyone on this site would phone up 'Tony' and tell him he is a scumbag then I'd sleep happy tonight.

I've just PM'd a few of you (Claire - your in-box is full) but I thought I'd check to see whether the person was still active. First hit on Google is this thread, so no doubt he will be around with a baseball bat. I assumed that he would have switched numbers by now but bloody hell, he is active again (as Peter or Johnny) as : gt zum1 2011 good as new Bikes, & Bicycles for Sale north london ... 0 0 None None http://www.browserdefender.com/%s/getdomain/www.gumtree.com Reply to this ad or johnny on 07578585479. i have a excellent condition full working gt zum1 as good as new foor sale please call if interested thanks ... www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/gt-zum1-2011-good.../79718919 - Cachedspecialized sirrus elite Bikes, & Bicycles for Sale north london ... 0 0 None None http://www.browserdefender.com/%s/getdomain/www.gumtree.com Reply to this ad or johnny on 07578585479. i have a excellent condition full ... www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/specialized-sirrus-elite/79825732carr era subway ux good as new Bikes, & Bicycles for Sale north ... 0 0 None None http://www.browserdefender.com/%s/getdomain/www.gumtree.com Reply to this ad or 07578585479. i have a good as new carrera subway ux as ... www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/carrera-subway-ux-good-as.../79905823PINNACLE STRATUS 3.0 Bikes, & Bicycles for Sale north london London 0 0 None None http://www.browserdefender.com/%s/getdomain/www.gumtree.com Reply to this ad or peter on 07578585479.

Seeing a guy with a hoodie, running with a bag over his shoulder, after midnight, the cops thought that I was a burglar. When they saw my age (28 or 29 at the time) and my ethnicity, they were quite surprised, expecting a young black man. Now this was over twenty years ago, when the Met were actually acknowledged as being institutionally racist. Maybe it is not like that nowadays but it still makes me (and friends both black and white) chuckle and reminds me of an unsuble Not the Nine O'clock News sketch. Odd link here: www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=169275.0

But I love a little airbrushing out of history!

They said, "ohh, we didn't realise that you were so old", and then refused to offer me a lift. But what do you think they actually thought? You will have to make a couple of assumptions about me, and an obvious one about plod. (of course they could have said that I was only 24 minutes(hours) from Tulse Hill)

In 1990 (aged well over 20) I'd been to a Stop the War bash at the Red Rose Club in Islington. Missed my last train to Sydenham and ended up in West Norwood. It was a winter's night and I had an orangy Gap hooded sweat shirt. I'd cleared a load of personal crap out of my desk draw at work and put it into a large Brixton Cycles dispatch cyclists bag. So I am too tight to get a cab so I'll jog the two miles or so home, with my hood up and the bag over my shoulder. I see a police metro coming the other way, and I think if they stop me I'll ask for a lift home. Low and behold they turn the car round and in deed stop and question me. I pull off the hood and the male and female cop (who look about 15) are quite astonished. What do you think they said?

At last someone has mentioned Cyrille. But who started the season in the same shot but was later removed?

Did anyone else hear the commentary on Radio 5 in the latter stages of the Wigan match, amazing stuff as both sides went full on for it and the commentators managed to get a great impression of this. It wont be half as good condensed into 10 minutes on MOTD tonight. Glad Simon picked up how fascinating the relegation battle is this year (much more interesting than winning the SPL, can't you guys use the thread that I started for you on this?). And when was the last time none of the prem relegation places were not decided until the last day? And who stayed up? Continuing on the SE London theme, why the Millwall reference at West Am (OK they may not like West Ham, but they don't like anyone!) and who has that sort of spare dosh to pay for a light plane (apart from David Gower).

I like this thread, and encourage others to join in and give their views on Malumbu. I think he should live and let live, and if this is the death of grass routes football then so be it. I also think his stories are self indulgent, and at times patronising. Finally he clearly should not be posting during the early hours or during the royal wedding. Judging by the tone of his postings he well may have a neglected family. You don't get this sort of debate allowed on SE23.com. The webmaster may have seen it as flippant and would have quickly deleted it and probably given Malumbu a red card. If of course he/she posted on SE23.com. Clearly Malumbu has a serious chip on his shoulder about our cousins on the overground.

Ouch.....

I like this thread. And to be fair I do like the name of many Scottish teams. Wasn't there a famous match where the commenator said 'they will be dancing in the streets of East Fife tonight' not realising that this was not a place. I have actually seen a scottish match as well, Celtic vs Forest in the UEFA cup in 83 (old school knockout competition, which was more interesting than most of the current European competions). I stood in the Jungle and did not utter a word all night, but apparently half smiled when Forest scored their two goals and when asked how long to go mouthed the answer.

I thought the main football focus thread would do, but well done in any case: http://rymanleague.goalrun.com/leagues?league_news_item&lid=256&did=2102&id=2755643 I'd heard this would be a home match, but there is nothing on the DHFC website, and according to the Ryman it is at Leatherhead. Of course I have to share a story and I am sure that I saw a more mighty Leatherhead play against the now sadly defunct BRFC in 75 in the FAT.

Could ManU field a team of pigs and still win the Prem? Will Liverpool actually ever win anything ever again? Who is the dullest northern team, Blackburn, Man C or Bolton?

I don't think Spurs will make the Champions league. Maybe Chelsea can catch Man U. Will Arsenal sign anyone. Can the Daggers stay up? How many points are QPR likely to get docked?

I think you deserve your own thread, and then we wont have to bother looking at it. Dundee United are a good team. Discuss.

I am surprised that no one picked up on my interesting history of football chants and 60s pop songs, my comment on psalms and football chants, and my links to modern day chants. Yet there is discussion on the most boring league in the world (SPL). Oh you win it this year, and we will win it next. What fun. Nor any discussion on who will get relegated from the Prem. Again far more interesting than the SPL. You could almost forgive our good friends North of the border for supporting Liverpool or ManU. Anyway, away from this nonsense. A pretty good day. Palace staying up, Walsall and Hereford probably staying up and a great result in the original top division derby (even if MoTD doesn't recognise this, and hid it away as the last match). Sadly the Lions wont probably be getting into the play offs, and the Robbins were neither here nor there. AFC in the play offs, Bromley safely mid table and Dulwich won 2-0 at Walton and Hersham69 to reach a respectable 5th, so also pretty decent outside the league. DU a good side. Hmmmm let me think about that. No I'll just go to bed.
