    Anyone else ever get fleeting moments of glory?

    I remember a lad I used to work with doing a Daily Mirror competition. It was a simple question and you had to phone your answer through. They then picked one random right answer out of a hat. Anyway, this guy came to me to check he had got the answer right (it was a completely obviously dumb...

    Shops that are gone

    I used to work there. They still have a place I think, Kingfield Road. The company has been going since about 1750. The shop was in Hales Street and the warehouse in Kingfield Road. I worked there for 3 years in the late 70's.

    This dressing up as a clown craze

    In Essex the police say there have been a number of incidents of people dressed as clowns hanging around outside schools during the school day. :( Cases in Scotland and Wales too. Guessing we will see an increase at Halloween for sure.

    This dressing up as a clown craze

    It's sweeping the globe. Think it started in the US, but is now going on over here and now Australia too. Some sick prat jumped out in front of and then followed a bunch of 11-12 yr olds to school in County Durham, carrying a knife. Hilarious. :( Merseyside police are saying they may well...

    Anyone else ever get fleeting moments of glory?

    I was crazy about a girl once. First time I met her I was immediately enchanted by her, but I was going out with someone else at the time. We became very, very good friends though, but all the time I still remained crazy about her. After three years I finally got her to go out with me. We...

    Yeah he is, but by the time they will have got the sheet off, Venus will have been in charge for another three games.

    I remember our next door neighbours winning the Pools. It was something like £50,000, but that was a hell of a lot of money back then. Am talking about 40 years ago or more. They danced around the tables and hugged and gave out a yelp of joy, before then glancing across to find they had left...

    It's like the gorgeous girl staring at you across the nightclub dancefloor, before you then realising 10 seconds later she is actually giving the eye to the bloke behind.

    Anyone else ever get fleeting moments of glory?

    But you are then very quickly deflated again within seconds. Double whammy for me today. My parents are both 86 and my dad insists on buying lottery tickets for all the family, nieces, granddaughters and me. Sometimes he gives me the tickets, but usually he retains them himself for us all and...

    Drew 1-1 in the end, but still 2 points dropped you would say.

    It doesn't always work like that of course, the Scotland thing. That's football for you. Malta were at home to the Scots and I dare say they approached the game quite differently and perhaps thought they could get something out of the game. Tonight was all about damage limitation. Doesn't...

    I quite like them. Sound even better when you have the remote control on mute.

    I've always liked him, but international football just seems a step too far for the lad. He has great pace, but at times his control and first touch is very, very poor.

    Yup. After the last few years at the Ricoh I think we have maladjusted.

    Southgate picked Theo Walcott tonight, so why isn't he playing?
