Forgot about entry - we always knew all the entries around the streets. Wonder about scallops in chip shops - they don't exist around here and when I try to explain what they are I usually get something like, 'so let me get this right, it's a slice of potato covered in batter that you have with...

Recently here in Norfolk they did a survey using 20 common local slang and dialect words to different age groups. Pretty much all 20 were recognised by the over 50s, about half by the 30 to 40s and around 3 (sometimes none) by the under 20s. They blamed the Americanisation/globalisation of the...

I suppose adding orange juice to your window washing water makes it a bit more palatable?

Naughty! You know after I typed that in I knew it had potential for a lewd mind. Then I thought - Otis, Bingo.

Isn't Money, Money, Money about Surrey?

Always find it a bit odd that the only rhyme they find to go with dancing queen, seventeen etc was tambourine. Seemed a bit strained that one.

Use to like bar billiards - definitely a rarity these days, if not completely extinct. Pretty much all my mates in our teens and early twenties played snooker and pool, joining local leagues etc. There's probably an app for that now. Was in a pub Somerset way a couple of years ago and they had a...

Girls in their summer clothes........... Is this sexist - I only use one eye to look?

Euros in Poland apparently involved the mass removal of poor people from their homes who might otherwise spoil the appearance of the tournament on TV. As always lots of dirty dodgy stuff with FIFA.

Yes it's been a pretty good PR victory for Putin - but masking some serious economic problems. Hopefully they weren't using novichok to spray the midges.

As a teenager was driving my Rover 2000 at 60mph and suddenly the bonnet flips up and momentarily blanks the windscreen. I managed to stop safely and found that it had completely creased - I tried sitting on the windscreen and pushing with my feet to push it back but it was impossible, luckily...

CJ, I would be interested in what you really made of Russia. Over here we're told that Putin had a firm grip on things with hooligans kept at bay by state threats and fans largely confined to fanzones. Did you find you could go where you liked including outside the fanzones and visit Russian...

They've just dropped Nurvostwic from the final. I think I've run out of itches now.......

Obviously you are both right although I'm still a bit surprised that it's not just a niche business. Also us watch wearers are a shrinking minority I think - most of the whipper snappers consult their devices to tell the time. You learn things coming on here!

Land Rover Defender.

Yes that's the trouble with religion, it can't take a joke and can sometimes get you killed.

Made my day this - can't stop laughing.

People get muddled on this issue. We should respect the right to hold an opinion, believe in whatever but we don't have to respect that opinion or belief. There is no right to not be offended. As a secularist I find all religions offensive and an affront to the ideas of the enlightenment and...

Notice that the Tour is sponsored by a 'pre-owned' watch company? Obviously is wealthy enough to sponsor a major event but I'm amazed such a business exists. Who buys pre-owned watches for goodness sake?! I would have thought a play on 'second hand' would be obvious but maybe doesn't sound as...

Don't forget the one with Croatian ancestry but born in Scotland - Glenn Fidic
