    Car Share

    Car Share is great comedy in my opinion. The chemistry between Kay and his female partner is what makes it watchable. I'm not saying its a classic but its worthy of all the plaudits it's received.

    Blackpool this weekend

    We took a good following if I recall ? I also remember it was a long trek on the coach and boring !

    Blackpool this weekend

    I went in the 70's to the Dell the home then of Southampton. We needed a point to stay up and we got it. But what a dump that was !

    How about obscure grounds ? I once went to Halifax Town's ground in the 60's !

    Blackpool this weekend

    How about fans going to the fewest football grounds ? I used to go everywhere in the 70's 80's and 90's but haven't been to many since then.

    Death list 2017

    I once said to my dad " why do the Royal Family seem to live long lives ? " He replied : " Its because they eat the best food,and have never done any hard work in their lives." Well said dad !

    Fiona Bruce has 2 voices/accent. The one she uses to read the news is posh but other times its not.I had an auntie like that she changed it to suit who she was talking to !

    Accents Like/Dislike ?

    Another curious thing is you only need to travel a few miles and you hear a different accent. Go to Nuneaton or Bedworth and they've got their own language ! And when I go to my sisters over in Leicestershire the East Midlands accent is completely different than say Warwickshire.

    Accents Like/Dislike ?

    Arsenal manager Wenger's accent gets more French season after season.Arsene has been here in England for years but you'd never guess. I've come to the conclusion people like to retain their accent/identity no matter where they live.

    Accents Like/Dislike ?

    What has always baffled me is how many people keep their accent even when they've been living here for decades.I know a couple of Scots who have lived in Coventry for at least 30 years, but for some reason their accent has got even more Scottish !

    Accents Like/Dislike ?

    When I worked on the railway there were about 12 of us in our working gang. It was made up of a Jock, aTaffy,a Pole,2 Italians, a few English,and a couple of West Indians. But we got on great until we had a good drink,then it was a confusing babble !

    Accents Like/Dislike ?

    I too like different accents it would be pretty boring if there was just one ! A customer of mine is from Belfast and what a strong accent that is.As I know him well I tell him, what was that you said John ? He laughs as he knows it is hard going. My favourite accents though are a Welsh female...

    My sons ex girlfriend was in the pub with her new bloke at the weekend,and we got chatting over a drink. He's Glaswegian and a decent bloke but I couldn't understand a word he said ! All I could do was just smile and nod now and then when he spoke before I shot off. And also a couple of Indian...

    Programmes you could watch all day....

    Outside here in Bell Green you'll see beggars,groups of youths,a few drunks,and loads of fat pigeons. David Attenborough is doing a programme here !

    Foreign Managers

    No English manager has won the Premier League. I reckon Dyche of Burnley could win the title if he was manager of Chelsea or Spurs,but would either give him that job ?

    Foreign Managers

    You have to go back to 1991-92 to Howard Wilkinson winning the top flight division with Leeds United for an English manager.

    Joshua v Klitschko

    What a fight. Give Klitschko credit he fought like a demon and could have won. It was anybody's at one time but AJ came through at the end. I watched it in the pub and it erupted when Joshua won. But I'll say it again Klitschko came away as a warrior !

    Joshua v Klitschko

    I'll be watching it with my son in the pub. Watched the Haye v Bellew fight in Finbarrs club in Holbrooks and it was a great atmosphere in there. Probably go there tonight.

    Joshua v Klitschko

    Had a bet on Joshua winning in the 5th round. Couple of quid at 11-1 so £24.00 return if right. Didn't fancy putting much on as reckon boxing is too hard to predict. Heavyweights punch hard so it could go either way even early on !
