Declan is spot on - no interest in Jack Charlton or the Irish football team from Loyalists in N.Ireland.


Unless of course you meant a united Ireland within the UK ;-)

Oh Yeah, very likely, the chances of you spitting any fluid not containing alcohol up the screen is very remote.



I do not know where Mattham's post came from, it seemed to appear sometime after I had put up the answer, as I had read that page a couple of times and completely missed it.



Declan it does not really matter if I deserve the guinnness meself, as I have not had a drop pass me lips for 20 years or more. I'm TT.


I shall not put up anymore of these intellectual challenges, if all you're gonna do is snarl at each other like a bunch of heathens.

Bloody Hell SteveT......blaming everyone but yerself. I like these intellectual challenges as you so call them. It led to an interesting debate of a sort. I've learned something from it and with your post even more...........that heathens snarl! Have another go..............ah go on..........would you like tea SteveT?

Right! Sorry, we must revive this! I've been away and only just noticed it. I'm not saying Jack Charlton could actually have united Ireland, but I'm definitely the first who said it in this thread (thank you for pointing that out Keef).


How do I go about claiming this prize? It is of tremendous importance to me as have lived an entire life of knowing less (and winning nothing) concerning football than anyone, ever. Could there possibly be a ceremony; maybe filmed and put on YouTube? Or maybe a local paper would be interested? Let me know your thoughts.

Well I believe out of all the Englishmen involved in Ireland in the last hundred years, he would have been the main contender, and although most readers were considering a political animal,

it was a footballer who had the balls for the job.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By Angelina · Posted

      You are best going to Battersea and adopting a dog. You’ll be able to meet different dogs and work with the staff to understand the breeds, temperaments etc.  Training is ongoing. If you get a very well trained puppy and don’t continue and maintain the training you will soon have an untrained puppy.  You have to put the work in.  Are you ready for this? It’s a lifetimes commitment and you don’t get to walk away or change your mind. Maybe register with Borrow My Doggy for six months and get to know local dogs. I’d happily meet you for a dog walk if it will help?

      Council "weed" removal

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault.

      Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance!

      Council "weed" removal

      I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
