Oh I know someone who will play ...



He ( my friend & yours ) sent me this as a P.M



Well back in the days of 1931 I used to play for the then hot team "Rye Rovers" . Mamm used to drag me there on a one wheeled sack trolley when she had some spare time on day release from her "Iron Lung".


Did I mention I had withering polio in both legs ?


No, but that didn't stop me becoming top scorer in our team . So when ever there were a penalty or set piece I would be strapped into a body harness and fired down a strategically placed zip wire , my useless legs jangling behind me until I connected with the ball, I gathered such a mighty momentum It made a save impossible.

The team goal keepers were always recruited from the pleurisy ward, which evened things up I thought.Eventually the "Sweet F.A" as they were known then banned mechanical assistance in goal scoring.

The cat went mad & joined Moseley's blackshirts and moved in with Nancy Mitford for a short while. I didn't last though as the cat broke a crucial piece of Clarence Clift "bizarre" ( a milk jug I think ) at a bloomsbury set tea party.


Dad was always too busy to come watch ,his job as a human conduit was mens work & him manually connecting the overhead power line to the tram engine 12 hours a day, he often came home smoldering & his hair all stood on end with the static charge he carried.


He wept when our last chicken died "That chicken had heart" he cried before falling down the stairs, smashing the whiskey bottle he'd hidden in his jacket.

His trousers round his ankles, Izal in his rear end still. I'd have kicked him if I could but all I could do was throw some tinned ham at him.


Mum though was furious, fogging up the inverted mirror she viewed the world from & restrained within the contraption she so depended on for breath

"I'll waste no more on him" she spurted in between the "Psshh" & Puccht " that accompanied her daily life. Thats when the meter ran out , Mums lips went blue until I found her purse & flicked a "tanner" in, saving the day.


We later booked a trip on the Hindenberg . I really looked forward to trips like that, flying down "Hardship lane" like we were talk of the town.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
