    Bradley Quinton this week leaving Hemel Hempstead who are drifting in lower mid-table. His replacement 'til the end of the season? Alan Dowson. The merry-go-round in full swing!

    Who (having failed to address the downward drift) has in turn been replaced by Bobby Wilkinson, who left Weymouth 2 weeks ago (see April 2 above)

    • Haha 1

  2. Bobby Wilkinson out suddenly 'by mutual consent' at Weymouth. Surprising both in terms of timing and results - he has taken a squad that stayed up on goal difference on the last day of last season which was subsequently shorn of its two main goalscorers into a creditable 'nearly safe if not yet mathematically so'  14th. As is ever the case, unhealthy speculation as to the real reason why he has gone is rife on social media.

  8. Bradley Quinton, who scored for me in the last round by being sacked by Welling, has scored for no one in being sacked by Hemel Hempstead (National League South), who have drifted from top half to 16th in recent weeks.

    It's a good song, their version is OK and Girls Aloud are one of the better talent show created acts of the last 20 years (not that I'm an expert in this field). It's just a bit unnecessary.

  11. Two recent changes in National League South - Gary Johnson out at Torquay amidst financial problems there (hit for MPFC).

    Alan Dowson out at Dartford, with last year's playoff final losers currently sitting in the bottom half of the table.

    Not sure how any Brit can be unaware of Levi Roots.

     

    Probably the most famous Dragon’s Den success story in its 19+ year run. Reggae reggae sauce is also stocked in pretty much every supermarket now.

    Simple, by not watching Dragon's Den or buying his product.

    Aware of the sauce in fairness (and bought it once years ago) but if I've ever heard his name I've long since forgotten it..

  13. 5 as well (Osborne, Walsh, Nkita (as GAB watches Strictly), Fern Britton (who ca 1980 was on our local TV region reading the news and was distinctly comely) and Ekin-su (as one of the young wombles watches Love Island). Never watched CBB and don't intend to start now. Watched the first series of BB many years ago but soon gave up as subsequent series were peopled entirely by irritating fame whores.

    My team is in for March. Well played @Great Uncle Bulgaria

    And rather better played you, at least some of yours died which is more than any of mine did...good luck in the next round, I've been heavily squonked by Banana twice in recent years so you've saved me from further embarrassment...

    Having been sat on my "to read" list for nearly a year, finally got around to cracking open "In Perfect Harmony - Singalong Pop in '70s Britain" and it's a very, very enjoyable read that I'm sure would appeal to a bunch of DLers. Some great stories and revelations from in there, everything from Middle of the Road drinking Motorhead under the table to Clive Dunn being an avowed socialist and The Foundations nearly scuppering their career by stealing microphones from every recording studio they visited and selling them on.

     

     

    Thanks for the recommendation. Just finished this and I agree it's a very good read for the most part, although the early chapters are stronger on the music and the latter ones are a bit heavy on the social history (bit too much winter of discontent and the like).  Leo Sayer was a strange choice to devote most of the chapter on disco to and a few of the band choices I had never heard of, despite growing up in the 70s and being something of an authoritative sad case on its pop music - I had no recollection of Design or Hector, for example.

    Fwiw it was Rita Ray from Darts, not Middle of the Road, who drank Motorhead under the table.

    Recommended, particularly for the older ones amongst us on here.
