The amount my wife has spent in Waitrose, I would LOVE to pass a collection bowl around at the table, but I fear it would not be in the spirit of family Xmas.
I saw a homeless lady in WH Smith yesterday, with a tatty old trolley of sorts, filled with disintegrating plastic bags. She was queuing up at the Post Office bit. I was feeling bit sorry for her - what kind of life must she have? Then some other woman queuing in front of me reported her to a...
Ever noticed that Noone and Norwood have double o's in their name? No? Well this is the game for you - I need those double letters - from "aa" to "zz". Actually, there are no "zz" names. Or "qq". But there are plenty of others, and if you get those lucky players with two lots of double letters...
I've had this for a while, but I keep putting off starting it. Let me know if it's worthwhile! I'm halfway through the much easier The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. Should be finished in a couple of days. Was considering revisiting The Return Of The Native by Hardy afterwards.
It was a shame - he had done goodwill, but spent it all and then became somewhat overdrawn. Lovely gig though - their harmonies are always spellbinding. Mimi looked, as usual, like she'd had a massive row before taking the stage.
This is nuts. If people are trying to make it impossible for anyone to tell what is real and what is fake news, they're doing a very good job. The way that some people are now refusing to believe anything that goes against their standpoint can only get worse and there will be no "facts" any...
Yes - like Low, it's no good talking (or dancing at the front facing the crowd and "singing" along) at a Grouper gig unless you want to REALLY annoy people.
Ha ha - very good! Problem is, I only update the quizzes at the end of the season (usually) to avoid it becoming a chore. Let me consider how best to allow Bruno as an answer - and give yourself an extra point!
Yet another quiz. Was Dean Cox born in Haywards Heath or the Democratic Republic of Congo? The answers to this question and many more birthplace nuggets relating to 30 totally unrelated BHA players past and present:

About four years ago, I was at Gatwick Airport and the man collecting our car for a "Meet and greet" (or whatever those car valeting services are called) saw that two of my children were wearing Albion shirts and said that he used to play for the club. I was a bit embarrassed because I didn't...
Another new one: BHA players who NEVER scored a goal. Did Billy Paynter score one, or is your mind playing tricks on you....?

One more, update of an old quiz: you need to name the ex-BHA players (not loanees) who are still plying their trade in either the Premier League or the Championship. Some obvious, some (slightly) less so......

Two new quizzes to provide 15 minutes' entertainment on a dreary Sunday night, for those who like that kind of thing. The first one has plenty of clues, the second is trickier than you'd think:

As usual, I didn't have the patience to enjoy any albums from start to finish this year - I always seem to hear too much filler. I think my brain cells are now dying and I am descending into a bottomless pit lined with "Greatest Hits" albums. Anyway, I'll do songs of the year instead:
New Song...
