Cruyff's Turn

What amazed me was how small the guy was. I always assumed he was six footish. He looked tiny in that chair being interviewd by Grade.

Probably one of the few times that there has been not a negative comment on a demise. Bacharach and David may not have been the best songwriting duo, but certainly in the top one. ( Apolgies to Cloughie)

To add to the woes of one Mr.Tubs de Pfeffel the rumour mill is saying that the third Mrs,J has drawn stumps and gorn orf with Mr. Zacharia Goldsmug. Apparently a super injunction is in place.

I was reading the thread and found it interesting and informative before I saw the interjection. Why would you want it banned?

It hurts deeply to say anything good about the old bastard but his administration looks to be a veritable pillar of truth and rectitude compared to the current one. I must admit to enjoying the breakfast news on the morning of the bombing more than any other I can recall. Me and Paddy McGee.

She will be nearer to Ponce Andrew

Or one of Trump's deluded acolytes did.

I doubt that anyone is rooting for the old biddy to hit the deck. I'm not especially looking forward to the griefest that will ensue. It will be interesting to see the fight for headlines between Vlad and Liz. I'm guessing that Ukraine will take a back seat unless Vlad goes nuclear and we all get invited to the cremation.

That wasn't unusual towards the end of WW2. As their resources became more depleted they threw in everything they had so a 16 y/o working in a camp was probably quite common. In the defence of Berlin kids as young as 12 were thrown into the battle. One can only imagine their casualty rates facing the Red Army. Presumably the more savvy ones kept their heads down.

Private Eye seem to have some inside info.

The Old Crem's theory is gaining credence with me.

Serge gave her quite a few strokes.

Come on, we all know who she is. Chip off the old block.

Rush in Limbo

Par for the course given the long running little local difficulty between Perfidious Albion and The Emerald Isle.

His classroom was in Chester le Street so may have popped off a couple of Mackems, or a stray Geordie.

I doubt he shot anyone. He was a tank gunnery instructor.

He did like Tubs de Pfeffel so, in a sense, he had it coming.

His circuit's dead...there's something wrong!

I'd have a florin on Blair outliving Tubs de Pfeffel.

We'll not meet again.

Just a mathematical/ statistical point. Presumably in a high scoring year such as 2020 we should expect things to slow as the year progresses. There are now only 42 possibilities. Also interesting that there appears to be grouping in the 1-10 and 20-30's . Just feeding my aspergers.

Taken the chequered flag!

Anybody else see the resemblance between Raab C Brexit and the late lamented Geoffrey Fairbrother of Maplin's ?

Ftse100 down another 130 today after the recovery. Could be profit taking or a Dead Bat Bounce.
