Exu

Just found the thread and am obviously late. going for Peru 1 Denmark 1 Croatia 1 Nigeria 0

Following on from a conversation with a work colleague, this got me thinking. Anyone going to ‘fess up to having one?

I’m off to see The Breeders on 11 July in Birmingham. Can’t wait!

My June team , hopefully fuck-up-free: 1) Bobby George 2) Kirk Douglas 3) Val Kilmer 4) Bill Oddie 5) Peter Bonetti

I think Nobby will be next to go

Real Madrid may as well stay at home then.

Leslie Phillips for me. I’ve been going for McCain for a while and it isn’t working

I’m going early as I’m not around for a couple of days, but I won’t take advantage of this fact and pick Bush! 1) Leah Bracknell 2) John McCain 3) Chris Rea 4) LesliePhillips 5) Stefan Karl Steffansson

Forgive the typo. I obviously meant Irvine Welsh!

I suggest you get your hands on ‘Ecstasy’ by Irvine Walsh. Written some years ago before the Saville story broke, there is short story in there whichhas some uncanny parallels with what he got up to.

A couple of work colleagues were on it just after it started out. One of them was a demented loon so dashing around the aisles like some kind of nut-job seemed to suit him. I still see this bloke in Tesco sometimes and I quickly leave if I know he’s got a trolley in his hands as he shops in the same manner as his appearance n Supermarket Sweep.

Had chips again last night so going for McCain

Bobby George interviewed about Bristow saying that he lived on “fags, booze and vindaloos”. He warned Bristow that this might kill him one day. Sage words from Bobby ( I’d be shitting myself if I were him and looked in the mirror, however)

I remember watching Jocky Wilson play. As time went on he’d shake more and more whilst sweating profusely. Not sure that was nerves, the lighting or alcohol withdrawal. Leighton Rees was another one of darting’s great sweaters!
