Is it just me that thinks that the processing of this image had gone beyond what’s needed and dived into Walt Disney world. I’m sorry (and I know nothing) but I just don’t believe the “twinkle twinkle little star” thingy in the middle. Either the camera’s got some grease on it or someone’s got...

But how can anyone from NSC like that video? He goes to ‘spoons for goodness sake.

Post in The Fighting Cock at ten past two: “Lamptey is so much better than Royal” This reply a minute later: “A lamppost is so much better than Royal”

I've recently had strange urges to run into the middle of the Amex in the middle of a match and howl uncontrollably. (But that picture is magnificent. I must have turned into a boy-scout by 1966. The scout district commissioner behind Mrs B-P looks like a clone for the one for East Sussex at...

For what it’s worth, 20 years ago only 10% of Americans had passports. It’s now 40% partly because you now need one for US citizens to go into Canada and Mexico (Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42586638). Just because you don’t travel doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have a...

In isolation with Omicron, so I’ll be staying in and finishing off the Christmas bottle of Tio Pepe. I’ll treat myself to some olives, Gorgonzola Piccante (brilliant, from Morrisons) and chorizo as appetisers (dog-breath tomorrow is of no consequence when I have to stay on my own). I’ll...

Dougal: “Didn’t you tell me once that Father Jack had a trial for Liverpool?” Ted: “No… no, he was on trial, in Liverpool.” Mrs Doyle: “Now come on Father, what would you say to a nice cup of tea?” Father Jack: “FECK OFF CUP!” Ted: “What was it Jack used to say about the needy? He had a term...

Instead of being at the ground I watched the game in a pub (bad fan). There was a Palace supporter there who spent ten minutes moaning about how empty the ground looked, after which the banter got a bit more positive. He wouldn’t listen to any of the arguments as to why there were so few there...
