These are the best team names in football. "West Allotment" is, believe it or not, a tiny hamlet on the northern outskirts of Newcastle. There's not an East Allotment to my knowledge. The best ever book on north-east footer is The Far Corner by Harry Pearson. Edna sounds like she's read it...

As we approach the end of 2007, could we have a quick audit of this account? I personally gave up after the first two tips LOST.

Unlikely. White City is FESTOONED with speed humps.

I think QPR have got a HUGE fanbase, actually -- just one that doesn't always turn out for many games. They're probably most popular among "born and bred" west Londoners from an area streching from Kilburn to about Hayes. My postie wears a QPR scarf when it's cold. Most of my girlfriend's year...

He's reknowned for trying it on with the ladies of the BBC

(By the way, Iain Duncan Smith and Charles Kennedy are both RC.. presumably they had harboured ambitions of being PM at some point... so to suggest you can't be Catholic and PM is guff). For the uninitiated, here is a basic explanation of the tenets of Catholicism 3f72CTDe4-0

There used to be some ancient legislation that said PMs could not be Roman Catholic. It was all caught up in the Act of Settlement... the law (still in force) which says Royals cannot be Catholic or marry one, and still expect to inherit the throne. It's been widely speculated that Blair was...

I'll be attending what is SHAMEFULLY my first match of the season. I went to more Brighton games when I lived in CUMBRIA. :badfan:

If I needed a pint of milk or whatever on Boxing Day I might think of going to Tesco to see if they were open. Luckily, there's always Mr Shah's shop at the top of Havelock Road. The saviour of many Christmas dinners among my family.

Because the occasional shot would cannon back off the stanchion, and the dimwitted match officials would mistake this for the post, and not award the goal. While I admit it's funny to watch goalkeepers fumbling about in the back of the net, this shouldn't be allowed to happen at the expense of...

Except the bit that says "Gold, speaking to the Argus today, said..." Naylor's obviously got a decent contact and he's got a reasonable story out of him. Which is his job.

Hmm.. I'd like someone with TRIED AND TESTED good intentions as well as money to invest in our club, though. For the time being, this is the best thing written about QPR, or indeed about football, all year. http://www.bakerandkelly.com/2007/10/10/up-the-rs/

Yes, I noticed that on the club website today. I'd sooner eat my own arse than write all those details down and send them through the unsecured post. I think the club have been a bit silly here. Oh -- and Darren, I've got a Halifax current account and debit card. A while back, when I bought...

Of course, one of the tenets of Sikhism is the tolerance of other religions. As Guru Nanak said when he started the whole thing up: "There is no Hindu; there is no Muslim. All are human beings."

Oh yeah. Whoops. It's confusing, all this.

The BBC say there has been a request by a judge in Madrid for the men to go there to answer charges. Nobody expected the Spanish extradition, eh?

WRONG. Armagh has an Anglican cathedral but no letters patent, though it is still described as a city for publicity purposes.

RIGHT. Can we sort this out once and for all. Having an Anglican cathedral does not automatically a city make. A local government area is a city if the Lord Chancellor says it is, and has had letters patent bestowed on it by the Queen. Or King. So...

I'll tap 'em up, you nod 'em in.

You can get the "exciting" bits in the news later. I personally can't be arsed, but my sister in law is Indian and has never experienced Christmas in Britain so I suppose my brother might want to expose her to the head of the Commonwealth.
