My phone number when I lived in Acton in the 1980s was (01) 749 2049.
When I returned to Sussex in 1994, our next door neighbour's telephone number was......492049.
Very strange.....

8 points off averaging 2 points a game, which secures promotion - a very inferior goal difference - awful set pieces - defensive errors - no power upfront. A calamitous loss of form. A crying shame. Utterly depressing - I wonder what the view from the Boardroom is......because the view from the...
What sad news - my parents also bought my Cubs & Scouts uniforms from Swift Sports in the 1960s and early 1970s. Both my sons have bought sports gear from the shop, recognising the value of personal service and as they said 'it's different to Sports Direct'. As recently as August, we bought a...
Hants have to win & get at least 2 batting points - if they do, we just need to draw to stay up.
If Hants win and don't get any more batting points and we lose (having only got the 1 batting point), we are tied on 161 points each.
I went to the RSCH for my open heart surgery five years ago - in Thursday evening, operation on the Friday morning - was sitting up awake at 5am on the Saturday morning. Discharged Tuesday lunchtime. The care is just brilliant, the surgeons. the nurses, the cleaners, the food all excellent...
Top Rank Suite on Monday nights in the summer - 1978-80? - Radio One DJs would regularly be the guest DJs. None of the foreign students of course had a clue who they were! I remember one Monday night, a huge fight broke out on the dance floor at the beginning of David 'Kid' Jensen's set.....so...
Club text received...... Albion will start their pre-season campaign against Swiss club FC Meyrin in Geneva on Saturday 12th July (2pm GMT, 3pm local time).
Argus reporting same date.
Only problem is that 12 July is a Sunday, not a Saturday. And of course UK is on BST now not GMT...
Thanks Supaseagull, very kind of you.
Mile Oak Wanderers did us proud with 18 teams entered, so big thanks to the Club for supporting us so well.
136 teams over two days.......exhausting but very rewarding (loo cleaning excepted though!).
Some of the football played was exceptional. Now...

After all that we have been through, the Mullery years, Wembley, the war years and the arrival at The Amex, the Poyet years, the AMEPC (training ground to you and me) - I have lost the passion.
Where did it go wrong?
No it's not the big corporate animal itself that has ground me down, it's...
Utterly awful, not interested and a complete waste of yet another loan. Worked his socks off arguing with teammates & the officials - so definitely a 10/10 rating for that.
And to swap shirts at the end! Still it won't need a wash I guess.
A total joke and a total oxymoron.
