there's also a fabulous TV sketch where he is winging it in the RAF mess. I can't find it but it is classic Hancock.

My Grandmother told a story of a day out from Brighton to Rottingdean during the war and the family and a few friends sitting on the stone groyne that is still there. They see all these planes coming over at low level and started cheering them on, believing them to be Hurricanes or Sptifires...
In an age where we have an Uber Nanny State where everyone can get counselling for anything from child obesity to hair colour insecurity I find the idea of frightening wee kiddies with ghouls, ghosts, vampires etc a complete double standard. Millions of pounds of Chinese kack in the shops...
Any of you wonderful people get a chance to see the quite superb Karine Polwart at Komedia last night. I clean forgot to advance warn folk that she was on. Her latest album 'Laws of Motion' is superb Autumnal listening...recommend with a few drams in front of a log fire!

I think the key progression for this season has been the obvious greater depth of squad and how the loss of players like Stephens and Gross for prolonged periods has been more than adequately accommodated. Locadia is certainly warming to the task , Bissouma is going to be stellar of that there...
