Time they canned the shite. Fckn detest it. Apropos of not much, they first piloted it in the sixties as a sort of 'non-celeb' sports quiz (and much better for it imo). My bro-in-law was actually on it. He was (mainly) a rugby player at the time, and had played for Wales at second-team level...

It's this stuff. Very common around there. Nothing like the asbestos products you thought he meant. It's actually structural (if fraught with issues of its own!).

Never before was the term vomitory so apt.

Some Finlock gutters may contain asbestos, not all, and as long as they aren't broken won't be a problem (care obviously needed in removal/disposal). The soffit thing is irrelevant as they don't utilise soffits as the whole system is integrated as a one-piece concrete gutter/lintel. As for Artex...

Lots of bangs in Hinckley. Schmeichel fans shooting themselves. (To be fair, he was superb).

Somewhat OT, I know, but... George Curtis 25 years ago today on the occasion of his son Michael's marriage to Marti. He just never changed from the day I first clapped eyes on him at HR until then - and really hasn't changed much even now. My hero 😉 (Marti OKd my sharing this btw).

Couple of things. - On Thursday, the Ah Eff You release the season 21/22 fixtures to the Champ clubs, with a request that the clubs release them publicly on Friday. To which, the eleven clubs have collectively told the Ah Eff You to Eff Off as it doesn't give them time to interact and iron out...

Euphemism?

McGuire. What a calm, solid influence. Reminds me of the great Jack Charlton in '66. Fckn head on him too.

Oh dear.

Sadly, there is a very small TV audience already, so they can forget the long hoped for 'deal' now. Rugby is a participation sport for many thousands of minis and juniors, with the huge majority of them dropping out just after their bollocks drop. Having no pathway to the top certainly isn't...

At least football keeps a clear and open pathway from top to bottom Dave.

Ha ha. About as subtle as a sledgehammer across the back of the head. Used to love seeing Roger (Windy Corner) Winterburn wringing their necks. Brave man!

Fnnrrrr. I always, always lusted over a Jota. Lucky, lucky bastard!

Everything the RFU does adversely affects Cov. Not new.

The 400s were rarer than the 250s as the latter were bought in numbers as a learner bike (at least pre-83 when the law changed to permit 125cc max). They were pretty hateful tbh. Poorly designed and noisy top end too. Even after having the cams reprofiled it rattled. Sold it and bought an old...

I was never a great Honda fan, though I did have a very pretty CB550F2, and a less pretty CB750K7 (the last version of the original sohc4). I also had a CB400N Superdream twin for a very short while, but the less said about that the better.

My first non-learner was a '73 Yam RD350 bought new from Beauchamp Motors in Leam. Went like a scalded cat, but still tractable for two-up camping touring, which I did a lot of. All the Triumphs I owned, a 350 Twenty One, a 500 Tiger 100, and a 750 T140v Bonnie were all oil-tight, and also never...

Oh well, a screenshot of the vid at least...

Bollocks. It appears not!
