It does mean that the goal line is difficult to see unless you're standing up. I was there for the Boxing Day game a couple of years ago. But Row C should compensate by being mighty close to the action (assuming A is the front row, not the back row).

Ah. Getting my mid 80s one-hit-wonders in a twist, there... sorry.

I remember that! They were from Eastbourne, weren't they? Went something like "I'm in love with a German film star, I once met in a bar. Playing the part of a real no gooder but I didn't care..."

Renee and Renato, Save your love. That walrus-like waiter lobbing limp roses up at some bint on a balcony. Tremendous stuff. I once knew a guy who had a summer job playing bass in the house band at a holiday camp. On one very special occasion, he got to play bass to guest stars Renee and...

I've no idea, but I do find it ironic that it will take less time to build Falmer than it has taken to get it approved. Patience is a virtue and all that, but that decision is so long due it's becoming unbearable. Just say yes John!

Though it kills me to see Pompey doing well, I think football needs something other than the promoted three (Wolves, Pompey, Leicester) coming straight back down again. So Leeds for me. I'm still laughing at the arrogant fool I used to work with who supports Sunderland. He spent all last year...

Can't believe safe, unoriginal and formulaic stuff like The Vicar of Dibley is in the Top Ten. A sad indictment of middle England's taste indeed. Out of that ten, it has to be Fawlty Towers. Innovative, memorable, inspired - true genius. Blackadder my second vote for the originality of its...

I had a season ticket for the first three seasons at Withdean, but work/family reasons etc meant having to give it up. However I did go on Saturday, for the first time this season, and like HH Brighton was shocked at being reminded what a bleak experience it is. The three away games I've made...

Am being taken by girlfriend on Thursday. She's completely obsessed with Tom Cruise. I know...

I believe you're taking the piss. Which is more than Rio ever managed...

Upper tier, row D. The "partially obscured view" is common to most of Loftus Road. You usually can't see the touchline/goalline directly beneath you. I remember a Danny Cullip header there at the Boxing Day game the other year where I couldn't see if it had gone in or not for a second. But...

Most of the broadsheets offer analysis and comment, putting the game into a wider context of issues surrounding that club, a particular person, a current hot topic and so on. They're usually much more valuable than the "This happened, then this happened, then this happened..." simple reporting...

Hello Mr and Mrs F****e, from Chicken George of Hull. Your father-in-law just might remember...

Gel. If you've got anything more than a light beard (for instance a couple of days growth) I've found oil just clogs up the razor with stubbley bits, as you can't rinse the blades very well.

Oops, ta. Damn the Welsh!

I'm currently writing the copy for the London 2012 Olympic bid website. (Don't look at the current site, it's crap and is being replaced in the next few weeks.) Today I am doing a section on our existing sporting life, and... ...I've managed to slip in a derogatory dismissal of Leyton Orient...

Loved that game at the Goldstone where our win ended their play-off hopes. "Bye bye promotion, promotion bye bye..."

Bugger. Voted Dido, but according to http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_853421.html?menu=entertainment.latestheadlines she's just gone ginger. :ohmy:

As it's become best beginnings rather than title sequences, I'd like to add: The Player. The characters talk about the longest tracking shot in movie history during one that's actually longer. Apocaclypse Now. The titles come at the end. So the entire movie is, technically, an opening sequnce.

I was told it's postal applications only, though that may be bollix. But if it is, don't rely on being able to wander down the ticket office that Thursday or Friday...
