Look... two. There are two dogs. One. Two. Two dogs.

If Italy's on your list take a look at the BBC2 prog on Sicilly - a bit arse-clunching in the embarrassment stakes but there are some good bits. Went there some years ago and it has everything from mummified monks to a live volcano, fine beaches and good food.

You have to try it 73 times

On the subject of football and tv and who needs who more - welcome back Football League Show on BBC tonight after an enforced absence apparently due to "budgetary decisions". What do you mean you hadn't noticed it had gone missing?

And that was the last anyone heard of the doc ("I AM NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR") before he was discovered wandering Goose Green in his pyjamas crying "Here Boy!" to an imaginary spaniel.

Judging by the number of mothers/nannies one sees on the side streets around LL on a weekend holding their little boys/charges steady while they pee up a tree or a lampost the next generation are being trained to live without public conveniences.

which is well known for horn players

In light of admin's statement at the top of the page regarding housekeeping I suspect these bottles to be nothing less than forum residue. Anyone prepared to undertake a more empirical study of the flasks will surely detect the faint whiff of Foie Gras, Burnt Jam and cats.

(discreet) Gang Activity... ... at least it's not opaque. That really would be a worry.

Okay - hands up all the disappointed Synchronised Swimming fans.... Nette, I don't see your hand...
