Danced a mad jig half way through Rayo vallecanos match.. The cross dresser in the silver wig behind me thought I was mad, the dope heads around me just joined in. It's a crazy crazy crowd there....

Went out for my daily walk seconds before it was announced, going by the times of the posts on here. When i came in the front door, t'other half said "where you been, it's all kicked off while you've been out". Took me a second or two to twig what she was referring to. All i wanted was a hot brew to be honest. That wind was biting on the sea front.

I had just got back from doing my duties as a ranger on The Great Fen in Cambridgeshire. I was frozen because of the wind, snow, hail and rain but soon thawed out when I read the news, A glass of Cognac helped as well.

After Wigs at Woking, Trannies at Torremolinos is not surprising.

How did you guess. I did PM John Fenty recently and I said.
“A time may come soon,"when no one will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your ownership of the Kingdom that is Blundell Park.

Boring I know but just timed it right that I was on The Fishy at the time.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
