It's the national day of Scotland


It's Birmingham City's football ground


It's a golf course


It's probably the name of numerous churches/cathedrals


And I'm still none the wiser!

I've only been once when they knocked Stevenage out of the FA Cup many moons ago, and can't recall any songs (or atmosphere).

T'Interweb has scant info, but apparently "shit on the villa" is popular, but the lyrical content was meagre and repetitious.

World War 2 classic Keep Right on to the End of the Road, doesn't seem to have anything that matches the clues.

Aquarius moon is correct. The small drink referred to is a "wee deoch an doris" which along with "keep right on till the end of the road" (the anthen of Birmingham City FC) were Harry Lauder's biggest hits. The very crooked thing was his walking stick which he was often pictured with.

I was looking for a fictional character rather than a real person, hence the confusion!


In the end I typed in 'gaelic drinking songs' which led me to the song above & found out it was written by the same 'Harry Lauder' who wrote the Birmingham FC song.


So I finally made the connection!


I'll be back with my first clue in the morning.

    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa. 
    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
