Well, in Jah's absence, it gives me enormous pleasure to "educate" young Matthew!


This clip doesn't exactly show his most famous goals, but I like it because it displays his fabulous footwork...oh, and I just love the way he accelerates past the other players. And also because I thought he looked even dishier in his Northern Ireland colours than he did in red. God, the man was a genius. Magnificent!

PUFF DADDY...



Is buying "Crystal Palace " football club ( apparently )


God I so hope it's true, can you imagine the "attitude"



The whole Idea thrills me no end...

Like it (soundtrack aside). What's amazing is this was the age when you were allowed to kick people about a bit. Given the advantage attackers have now and the way defenders are being so very limited in what they can do it would be amazing, although pointless admittedly, to wonder what he could do now.

Gosh...I simply cannot get enough of his genius.


Stupendous stuff!


George Best...it's all in the name.


Thank you RD.


Edited to say: I hope you are paying attention young Matthew.

Edited again because omitted to mark the 3,100th post

Still high praise indeed...especially from a City fan;-)

You are joking? Didn't you know that Rooney is Ireland's gift to England!

Good bet but they re still long shots surely. But I expect them to beat Lyon. Then who knows.


I have been to the stadium at Bordeaux - dragged wife along there on our honeymoon!) and its a great little place. They seem to be a club on the up.


Who knows they could do a Porto?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
