EIGHT BLOODY ONE! (You'd need to have read or seen Ripping Yarns to get the relevance. Always makes me smile when I visualise Barnstoneworth United getting another pasting).

I detest following it on the wireless (see, I'm old!). You're totally dependant on the tone and excitement in the voice of the commentator, and really have no clue about what is actually happening. Really winds me up. Dad died of a heart attack at 58 (just missing the FA Cup win 🥲). I've made an...

I see this target has now been hit. Well done all who bunged. £641 over the 30k as of just now.

I've just marked the bastard as spam. Should help 😉

Worcester poaching hasn't helped. Two are going there, minimum, and one of those has been suspended as he was tapping up another seven or so to join him. Extremely unsettling. Apart from those two (first-choice members of the forward pack) there are at least four more first-choice forwards out...

Same here. Linkedin is like one of those annoying shitty odours that cling to the hairs inside your nose. FFS, I retired seventeen years ago. I ain't interested!

I recall telling my Huddersfield-supporting acquaintance (who lives in Spain nowadays) that we'd signed Rudoni. His reaction was that he's a bit of a show-pony with little vision, and a lightweight at that. I'm massively fighting the urge to rub it in.

Packaging though eh? I opened a new gas canister level gauge yesterday. The instructions for use on the back were completely obscured by a shipping label. Would it come off? Well, yes, but only after relentlessly picking at it for about 20 minutes. Cnuts.

LPs. Used to buy one or two from supermarkets. Speaking of which; anybody got a copy of Eagles: Hell Freezes Over they'd like to sell. No, thought not 😉

Wasps are dead. It's Wuss who are fucking everyone over now.

Cov are really drafting in the loaners at the moment, due partly to injuries, but also to the Worcester situation - with at least one senior player suspended by the club due to the shenanigans. Naming no names, but his attempts to take several Cov players with him are just totally beyond...

Ooh. There's a (slightly concerning) thought.

Muddly Talker, as he was often known as. Loved him - and he and his dad could both wring the neck of a motorcycle.

We should take heed of someone from the Daily Blackshirt? Fuck off.

The main reason I stopped.

That dates you. He'd be about 117 now.. 😉🤣

Gibbo and Bill Glazier.

Yes, I'd forgotten Jim's writing. I think I still have my Art 'pink card' commendation somewhere too. I'm gonna be mired in old paperwork at this rate! 😉

It was all pretty sweet for some people.

He was a fairly young man when I started there in the mid-sixties. I wrote to him on the occasion of his retirement, which was, as you say, a good many years ago. I still have his reply letter somewhere. Fabulous teacher. And I'd only say that aboit him and Jim Wilkinson. There weren't many that...
