  1. Well so far I have Alan Brown of Notts & Roy Swetman of Surrey....B)
  2. Oh you want them continuous? A shame Alistair Brown only played 1-dayers...
  3. F S Trueman?
  4. An Aussie sporting hereos list with no Rod Laver or Dawn Fraser?! Hmmmm...:))
  5. How memory plays tricks on us! It wasn't Sir Thomas Beecham who ruined the railways but Dr Beeching. And if one man more than any other was "responsible for Thatcherism" it was Dennis, who bankrolled and permitted his wife to stand for parliament. Throw in Heath and Callaghan before Benn takes any blame...
  6. Odds are better than even then.....I suppose this means I may have to take out a Setanta sub!♠(6)
  7. I wonder how many of the 5th Round FA Cup ties will be shown live on TV? I am forlornly hoping for Sheffield United v Hull but doubt it'll figure, even though it'll be a sell-out and local needle match etc etc...
  8. I thought there'd been about 8 of these tills there anyway since the last big refurb...
  9. She has 50 lashes - in each eye....meticulously positioned each morning even before breakfast...
  10. Ray Clemence, Kevin Keegan & Ian Botham?:)
  11. Oh yes of course.....Northampton Town
  12. Are York City no longer eligible??
  13. That option is not a goer for us teetotal misanthropes...:))
  14. Home to Hull City will do very nicely for the 5th Round! >:D
  15. Yes...it has been happening several times a day recently!
  16. Fred Trueman Geoff Boycott Darren Gough Tony Currie Mohammed Ali
  17. Sparkes had plenty of haggis, as well as a vegetarian version, which doth boggle the mind somewhat...
  18. I think that very position would make it hard to get a Change of Use from A2 - never mind that the premises are too small for a bar surely?
  19. Yeah but this is about forecasting results not waving flags!:)
  20. Derby 2 Nottm Forest 0 Chelsea 2 Ipswich 0 Doncaster 1 Aston Villa 3 Hartlepool 1 West Ham 1 Hull 2 Millwall 0 Kettering 0 Fulham 2 Man Utd 2 Tottenham 0 Portsmouth 1 Swansea 1 Sheff Utd 1 Charlton 1 Sunderland 2 Blackburn 1 Torquay 1 Coventry 2 Watford 0 Crystal Palace 2 West Brom 2 Burnley 0 Wolverhampton 0 Middlesbrough 0
  21. Some pretty optimistic Charlton supporters hereabouts! :))
  22. Looks like Man U v. Spurs will be a battle of the 2nd teams...
  23. >I am a great fan of Branston Fruity, truly. I first discovered its joys many many years ago when an in-patient at Dulwich Hospital. It was the only sauce on the ward trolley, and the only thing that made the weekly poached smoked haddock served for breakfast remotely palatable. It is not an easy delicacy to source - Ocado do not stock it and I usually have to rely on Sainsbury's... >>BUT, sauce, and pay attention above AppleSpider is not what one puts on a cold meat sandwich.<< On this one point we shall to differ, but I am with you all the way on everything else. In particular offering a bacon sandwich with butter is grounds for divorce...And I cannot envisage myself ever being in the seventh circle of hell which would be a bacon sandwich and no HP Sauce to hand: there's always two spare bottles in the cupboard (in case one gets dropped and broken....) And Aran wool absorbs errant hot bacon fat most competently, imparting a most agreeable seasoning to one's usual testosteronesque natural fragrance!
  24. >>Go sit on a washing machine in the spin cycle<< Tried it. Dunno what all the fuss is about. Amazed DM knows how a washing mchine works...:))

    Summer

    Three weeks in Switzerland in July in a self-catering flat overlooking a lake, and with bakeries and delis in walking distance...Just hope the ? recovers a bit before then against the Swiss fanc!
