When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother: what shall I be?
Shall I buy Palace, or shall I buy Brighton? Here's what she said to me:
Wash your mouth out son!
And go get your father's gun!
And shoot an innocent policewoman!
From inside an embassy!
I make no apology for plagiarising Popbitch:
Outside the Sanderson Hotel this week : Rio Ferdinand discovering a note pinned to his SUV: "Back in 10, gone for a drugs test".
I was given a signed shirt when I left my last place of employment. And they persuaded Steve Coppell to write me a letter, too.
Of course, that was when I still liked Steve Coppell.
Best of the luck with the nuptials, by the way.
If this is true perhaps they should change their name to Donne Mileham & TUNA!
(Mods - is this the correct way to make tuna jokes on NSC? I don't really understand.)
I recently had to queue for three hours to get one of the last 100 NHS dentist places in North Cumbria. Just as well -- I've had a hundred quid's worth of work done by an experienced dentist that would have cost three times as much if I'd gone private.
But you're right -- the lack of NHS...
I'm about 38 quid up!

Four years ago I was travelling across Australia by train, from Perth to Sydney. But there was a derailment somewhere in the middle of the desert. So we had to wait for four hours in the dark at Kalgoorlie while we waited for some coaches. To take us to Adelaide -- a journey that lasted about 36...

Probably mostly to do with the word "Toon" fitting into short headlines in tabloid papers:
TOON DUO ON BLAZE BID RAP* - that sort of thing.
Liverpool are sometimes...
Without wishing to sound pejorative about supporters' clubs... that's probably because our higher-profile supporters are very good at PR and networking in forums like the Federation of Football Supporters.
I get lots of grief from Carlisle fans who came to support us at Fans United and then...
I agree Stumpy -- and Portlock Seagull has the right idea too.
It's a simple case of the board doing the supporters over. Which is just what happened to us.
It's no wonder that we have fewer friends among other clubs than we did at the time of Fans United.
