Full Time score: Cov 76-21 Nottm Jimmy Martin hat trick, Biggs with two as a rep., and Hitchcock also gets two. Five points to nil, keeping them in contention to progress. Bigger fish to fry yet in Northampton and Leicester though. Good morale booster, whatever, in front of a poor-ish crowd. Oh...

Cov seem to have found their scoring touch again after it went awol for weeks (months?). HT in the Prem Cup, Cov lead by five converted tries to two despite being down to 14 yet again (Trinder YC). 38-14

Hope springs eternal though. (Christ, I'd almost managed to put the Chilton debacle behind me 😉).

Gerry and the Dreamers. (Yeah I know, a mish-mash of two sixties groups 😉). But! Gerry was just dreaming there. There was also a mooted stadium on the site where the Higgs is now. Neither were ever serious enough to happen, sadly. Thinking back even further, some clown even spread a rumour about...

Hooray. I don't think I've ever found anyone who remembers them. Was beginning to think I was imagining them 😉. But no, it's just down to growing up in the fifties and sixties (and I don't mean senility...😂).

Birds Eye seem to think they still do them... https://www.birdseye.co.uk/range/desserts/arctic-roll/arctic-raspberry-roll

Coffee Crisp. Delicious. (You'd need to be as ancient as me and Houch to remember these tbh). Allegedly they are still sold in Canada, but not sure if they are the same.

Ooh; had forgotten those. Loved 'em.

Garth Hudson, last member of The Band. 😢

Why can I not see this on his Xitter account, I wonder?

I'm not so sure. Loved the first one...

But how would Dobbin do in the Derby?
