yeah.... but.... hmm.

your crazy and did you get two free family trips through the chunnel last summer?

We actually had that under Lambert. The kit glowed with a sort of throbbing strobey light effect every time there were three consecutive successful forward passes. I only discovered it by accident, jogging up the back garden tapping a tennis ball ahead of me.

how about that timeless classic, the old mask / ladies toilets / flickering light joke!

see i just go with the flow and don't care what the amount is after the decimal point .. that way when you by chance get it to come in at exactly £xx.00 you can strut your way to the pay desk knowing you are a god I put mine in by the litre not the pound. Price fluctuates too much to think £40 will get me there and back when £40 at £1.42 a litre gets you less close to home than £40 at £1.09 a litre. Science innit. Although, I then end up rounding to every even litre as you only get tesco points per 2 litres, so if I go 40.3 litres I will then drib drib dribble it up to 42 litres and bag that extra point. So yeah, the original complaint stands.

Aye, fair enough, good points. I was in Cardiff on the day of a few of the games and there was a lovely chilled out family atmosphere too. From memory there were fans of at least 4 different teams milling around taking photos of each others face paint. Didn't persuade me inside though, and I've gone and watched Gillingham because I was bored one evening!

Nah, I just don't see the point of football at the Olympics, it patently isn't the pinnacle of the sport, it isn't the best of the best. Leave it to minor sports and novelties. Probably ideally suited to rugby, poetry, swimming about a bit or following a funny little motorbike round and round on your bicycle.

Looks like its orff

The Cal Ford and Jack Hudson albums are the two clear winners in that bunch and I genuinely didn't have a clue what they were, a proper shot in the dark. You might have seen the bizarre coincidence in another thread about the Cal Ford album. I bought it in a lunch hour rush for the comedy 1970's ruffled shirts and wide lapels combo's. Posted the pictures on twitter and one of my mates declared Cal to be a relative. Chatting at the football yesterday he said he was the step brother of his dad and 'Cal' was simply an abbreviation of his real surname Calvert. He then mentioned that there was that typical ropey dark docks town unspoken history and he suspected there was more to the story. That he suspected Cal was actually his dad. As soon as he said that the resemblance was obvious, they have the exact same chin! How do you get similar features to your step uncle! So, turns out old Cal is a bit of a rogue whilst my mates mum is tyrannically religious. To the point that when Rev Ian Paisley was around town he and she were very close friends and allies - in the period when Paisley was being banned from churches so set up his own. Anyway, Cal looks like my mate Jeff, however that happened. Then, probably late 60's Cal gets into a serious fight over some deal that has gone sour and acquires a shotgun to go settle the dispute. The family report him to the police and he's caught with the gun and arrested. The family have to pay £100 to get him out (a decent amount of money in '69) but once out basically banish him from town. From 1970 onward he only makes rare unannounced visits at Christmas or funerals etc.. The guess was, he's still alive, somewhere. Apparently the genre was known locally as 'Cardiff & Western' and it sounds like old Cal was properly living the lifestyle with guns and wimmin and being run out of town. Added bonus, my copy is signed! It's near mint, one click come jump in one track. The Jack Hudson record appears to be less local, but does say it was recorded at Mid South Wales Studios. Can't find much on him yet. The Johnny Cash record has a stamp on it suggesting it was bought at Fred's in Pontypridd and cost £1 13s 1d in old money (by my guess about £17 / £18 now).

it was a free hit for journalists with an agenda, a few things lined up irresistably the journo's for the majority of 'news' outlets work for anti labour media so any story that is negative is one that has to be squeezed and spun the last Labour leadership had been a 'buddy team' that actually turned out to hate each other brothers fighting for the same thing is always going to be a story, it's a classic one brother being 'popular' whilst the other is voted in over his head by the evil unions is just nectar to the media too much in the story to resist - if only they could also have been fighting over the same girl, it would have been a film I know that's not a sensible and grown up list and is overly dramatising a very dry subject - but we are talking about journalists looking for easy dumb stories her, right

it's like Stevo has almost completely compensated for all the evil Paddywhack did almost

I've had a toblerone up there.

How's this for a bit of random: Today, I happened to get some spare time between meetings and went and found a back street record shop and bought some random stuff. I've just been told that 'Cal' Ford is the half brother of my mate's dad!

No 2 in the occasional series of 'what could possibly go wrong?' location sign shots...

Do you mean serial killers like Javed Iqbal who murdered 100 boys, or random spree killers like Sohrab Khan who killed 7 in one spree and is suspected of killing 9 others?
