Ray Hudson. Played 40 games for Barcodes in the 70s - had to google "geordie commentator Goltv" - I'm expecting him to shout "Magic Darts" at any moment.

Oh God, this station. The Yank who uses weird expressions and the Geordie co-commentator who makes strange Geordie noises like Howay. Insufferable the pair of them,

Cascarino has tried his hand at being a jobbing footballer, has tried his hand at being a jobbing Irishman and is presently trying his hand at being a jobbing journalist. Without ever really convincing anyone. With a bit of luck someone will finally have a word with him so that he can go and try his hand at something else.

Mellberg would never get my vote - every time I saw him interviewed he couldn't stop scratching it. His beard that is.

Only Villa, small heath alliance and Stoke using their own grounds I see, with sha paying one visit to Solihull.

There's just a chance "chocolate cake" will make a late rally and come in on the rails. I once knew a lad from Erith (or was it Belvedere) who looked pretty startled when we told him it wasn't: Little Miss Muffett Sat on a tuffet Eating her kerb away

A weird, weird video clip of Spencer Davis Group all in pyjamas with Steve Winwood singing Nobody loves you when you're down and out from the occasionally funny Birminghamitsnotshit site. From a forgotten and apparently well-forgotten 43-year-old film and featuring about a quarter of a second of Nicholas Parsons at the end.

If you went to drop the kids at the pool with no thought of doing a jimmy riddle and then decided a widdle was in order before the serious task began, would you a) have your slash from a seated position and then poo? or would you go to the trouble of standing up, pissing, and then sitting again? With me it's a). If would it be because you would be worried about some audience, real or imagined, thinking you might be something of a fairy? I voted in 'less than 25%'. Probably about once in a hundred visits. Now those gentlemen who habitually wear a nice pink frock may just have a different way of looking at this. EDIT: Or people like Mike, of course.

For the last 10 years of his life my Dad used to aim for the bog and spray all the surrounding floor as well as deposit around 40% of his piss where he was supposed to. And that was before the shaking process. I think the "Amazons" may have a point. PS They had a carpet in their bathroom too! I used to love going there.

Season 09/10 You been on the San miguel again? :-) Oh dear, knew it wasn't 9 October. Shit for brains, that's the problem. :oops: Please delete me.

The title of this thread is "Colchester Away 09/10 Travel and Social" and other threads in this forum also contain 09/10. What does 09/10 refer to?

Interesting original post. Anyone want to start a thread called "The Next Michael to die"?

Just remembered what Fish reminds me of. A Betterware salesman. When I lived in Hall Green the doorbell would suddenly ring and there was a skinny man who looked as if he'd disintegrate if you gave him a push, probably wore a toupee, always had on a brown raincoat and a hat, even in the heat of summer, a moustache like a lavatory brush, and a glass eye. Betterware always employed poor sods like him and the idea was that housewives were supposed to feel sorry for them and buy something otherwise they'd have it on their conscience all day and God would strike them down. My dippy old aunt in Castle Bromwich once bought something from her Betterware salesman which she herself called a 'rutherer' - this was about 5 years before she was taken away to Highcroft Hall for her own and everyone else's safety. It was a plastic cube with a brush on a roller poking out. You were supposed to get on your knees and use it to brush your carpet. Just that somehow it seems kind of gratifying that such a funny little wimp as Michael Fish should rise to such heights as to be able to send a large part of England to bed safe in the knowledge that... well, that. Oh the laughing little cavalier.

Michael Jagger, George Michael, M J K Smith, taking the Michael, Michael Boulding (yes I say old bean, I think we've seen this somewhere before!), oh the list is endless I voted for Michael Fish. Not for the same reason as mrbojangles gave though. Just for the way he always held one hand at chest height. He just needed to put the other hand on his hip. To misquote The Kinks' (hey Michael Avory, my favourite 60s Britpop drummer) Lola "Well he's not the world's most athletic man".

Ah slashdotcom, one of the great golden rain sites.

Well worth the effort! Well I think so anyway.

Oi! Having done all this work, I do hope you'll find the time to update it at some appropriate time. It's a work of art!

I beg your parsnips?

Yes, please DO say it (whatever it is) (clears throat) Has Kenwright found a buyer there? :oops:

No, I m mustn't say it.

August 31st - IF we're lucky.
