I am not sure Beckham would have gone anyway.....But we should all pray that Rooney remains uninjured!

misstatement

I am surprised you do not recall the classic "Leeds leads", sung by Ronnie Hilton (he of mice in windmills in old Amsterdam fame!):))

"Go To Work On An Egg" was thought up by Fay Weldon

Respect for knowning the lyrics Mockney! Imagine 80,000 in the Bernabeu all singing it eh? *wipes tear from eye*

'Starbucks' & 'coffee' in the same sentence, and in a 'Best coffee in London' thread!...quelle horreur!

I see the Boat Club never changes.....

I am sure Colin would be up for Real Madrid...he turned down Chelsea you know!...and this would definitely be his last job in management, oh yes, just like the last two. Be good to see the Galacticos turning out in red and white stripes though, and the crowd singing "The Greasy Chip Butty Song" in Spanish....>:D

Wot, no yellow jerseys or random drug tests?! :(

I confidently expect two British clubs to be drawn against one another in the Champions League quarters.. but anyway....Real Madrid eh? Muhahahahahaha!!!!

As in so many walks of life, God's Own County clearly rules! >:D

That Nasri goal was pure George Best! :))

I support, blindly and tragically, the best team in South Yorkshire....:))

'Dead Beat' - for the one by the cemetery fence on Underhill.. :))

But Arsenal are looking a far better bet than they were, say, a month ago. They just need to hold it together (and Fabregas fit!) for a mere 9 games now... Of the three managers involved I'd much rather Wenger won it!

Oh go on, you know you want to really....B)

VSO was something a few friends of mine did back in the 60's. You could do it, during or after "A" levels, as well as during a university course. Other friends got hard-working holiday jobs then clubbed together to buy a cheap VW camper which they drove across Europe to Moscow and back (when the Iron Curtain was still in place!). I am obviously out of touch with the zeitgeist - which I am not even sure I can even spell - but I find this whole idea of gap year companies quite extraordinary! Part of the fun should be organising it all yourself!

Offside rule - never forget the magic words "when the ball is played"!

...but a pub called the "Dulwich Wodehouse" is only going to cause confusion! B)

Most of them seem situated in sensible spots, but I do wonder about the one halfway up the hill by the cemtery fence on Underhill...

Of course you were deah boy!B)

Do keep up Jah..."Actress" goes with "Bishop" d'yer see? :) My tongue was in my cheek of course....I am sure Scott knows what he is doing! All this free publicity on the EDF before it even opens eh? gold dust! B)
