Hopefully by a humiliatingly large majority

According to my (late) dad, Nobby was used at Madam Tussades (sp?) to represent the England 66 World Cup Team.

Nobby, Nobby, Nobby!!

Commentator on Hesgoal "I dont think I've ever seen a team so much in the ascendency in the first half, crumble so badly in the second" Says it all really. Lucky to hang on for a point.

I planted 24 small Alliums a few years ago and I now have thousands of the buggers (no exaggeration) all over my garden, they're the bane of my (gardening) life. Nice flowers but gawd they're a pain, and they've already started coming through. :flameboun

Ever Decreasing Circles - don't think that's been mentioned on here so far, still funny today (the measure of a good sitcom). From the USA - the Incomparable M*A*S*H (although perhaps a bit "of its time" with hindsight)
