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 ;-)

Keef.....absolutely to what?

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?

Errrr, I don't drink tea or coffee either Declan......even if I don't live to a hundred, it'll certainly feel like I did.


Have another go..............ah go on..........would you like tea SteveT?

I think you must have been watching Father Ted, he has a housekeeper who sounds just like you Declan ah..go..on.

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.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
