Well frankly the world is not yet ready to see me roll up my trouser leg....

Still quite close to the P13 & 63 routes then

>>But I've never been to Omrith, where is it?<< On Forest Hill Road, just below the Forest Hill Tavern

Not often you see a player red-carded after he has been substituted!

As a non-plastic aficionado let it be noted that tomorrow sees the first of this season's Sheffield derby games, live from the Sty on Sky!

Arsenal 3 Everton 1 Aston Villa 2 Portsmouth 1 Bolton 1 Blackburn 0 Fulham 1 Sunderland 1 Liverpool 2 Wigan Athletic 0 Man Utd 4 West Brom 0 Middlesbrough 0 Chelsea 2 Hull City 1 West Ham 2 Stoke City 1 Tottenham 1 Newcastle 1 Man City 1

A one-legged man fallen on hard times???

Jamie O'Liver - the notorious Irish offal chef - especially in the Sainsburys ads...

Bicycle clips not car keys surely???

Time was a fellow would be halfway to the pavilion before an umpire had raised his finger. In those days cricket was played by gentlemen of course....

Glad she is back, and yes she is cute!

Well I do not think I have been in any cafe in ED that has not had a mum or two in it. Mums are people too you know!

>>Plus, if all goes to plan, by xmas I will have the most amazing uninterrupted views of London, and very very good leg >>muscles from walking up an insane hill! confused icon:D

Also Why are Spurs like a triangle? They're both a piece of piss to play. Why are Spurs like a drum? They're both easy to beat etc etc etc

That was the most wretched and unconvincing 5-1 victory I have ever seen!

Opening the new "Radio Times" each Tuesday and having about 8 useless inserts fall out on to the floor...

4-0 to Inger-land!

For SE22 I think Omrith is in a class of its own

>>(this is only an occasional treat though as am pretty anti having televisions in bedrooms)<< Quite right. The trick is to tell yourself you've got a bed in the TV room...

This is doing the rounds in the usual places... A little boy gets ?10 for his birthday and rushes down to the Sport Shop to buy the new football he has been desperate for. He gets a ball down from the rack and gives the shop-keeper his ?10. "Sorry son !!" explains the shopkeeper. "This ball costs ?20, but you've only got ?10". Thinking quickly, the boy looks up at the different club footballs on the rack and says: "Ok. If you blindfold me and I guess which club's crest is on the ball, will you let me have the ball for ?10?" The shopkeeper decides to humour the boy. He agrees to the lad's proposal, and so he blindfolds the boy. First up he gives the boy an Arsenal ball. "OK," says the boy, placing his ear to the ball, "I can hear the blasting sound of 2 canons. This must be an Arsenal ball!" "That was a lucky guess," exclaimed the shopkeeper, "Let's try another one!"... and he hands him a Millwall ball. "OK," says the boy, placing his ear to the ball again, "I can hear a pack of rampant Lions. It must be a Millwall ball!" "Bejaysus!" says the shopkeeper. "If you get the next one right I'll let you have the ball for nothing..." and with that he passes him another ball. Again the boy puts the ball to his ear and after a few moments he exclaims "That's a Tottenham ball!" "Holy Mary Mother Of God!" shouts the shopkeeper. "How on earth did you get that one? I suppose you heard a cockerel crowing!!" "No..." said the boy. "It's going down!" :))

Good question.....and thinking about it I suppose it may well be 25 years or more.

>>Simon is just brimming with Yorkshire pride all around today I would imagine. And the Owls lost heavily so he couldn't be happier << Exactly so! Since losing 6-0 to Arsenal we have won 3 in a row and climbed 11 places in the table. No game this weekend of course - shame really! - but the game the following weekend is away to W*dn*sd*y & live on Sky....

Oh yes, ruff if you're a Spurs fan I am sure. But to come to London on successive weekends and beat both Arsenal & Spurs eh? Respect! I wonder if it has ever been done before?

Hull City! Got to love 'em! >:D

I continue to be surprised that the corner unit at the junction of Dunstans & Forest Hill Roads remains apparently empty and unused. You would have thought it would have great potential at the end of a strip that seems to be slowly improving...
