His heart organ was where it should be
His brain was in his arse
His hand was well out of his pocket
His psyche is in the hearth

Robb Wilton is another old character who must have shifted his music hall act to film.

Ha! Yeas that's him! He wasn't singing though!

I spotted you. The bald chap who laughs it off, stood with a black bloke.

I walked along that row yesterday, after the match. Just as I approached it, a VERY tall young man, late 20s' perhaps, walked past me and knocked ne, when it was just as easy to pass without. He then walked half a dozen steps and caught someone else. Put it down to pug ignorance at the time, howeve...

If a player is in front of the ball and it is passed backwards, how does it get to him?

He runs back to get it.

You can’t be offside to any ball passed backwards. Regardless of the rules though it was a well worked corner

If the receiving player was in front of the ball when it was passed even if the ball is passed backwards then the player could be offside.

Examples of towns that have turned their centres around seem to be of the more middle class type. Altrincham, Hebden Bridge, Clitheroe etc. They had less Industrial Revolution buildings to begin with and also the smaller populace that went with not needing huge work forces for the factories. They ha...

I did the Three Peaks last year, and I'm convinced - from the OS map I have anyway - that the trig point for Whernside is in Cumbria. I suppose 'The two peaks of Yorkshire and one of Cumbria' doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I think you’re right. The wall along the top is the border and the tri...

The question still remains, why is the British tax payer taking the hit and not the privatised companies?
Meanwhile my EDF payments are subsidising the French bill payer. That can’t be right can it?

RMutt

Corporation tax is only one part of it. The owners of a company also have to pay income tax on any money they take out via dividends etc. So effectively they pay roughly the same as you plus the 25% corporation tax on top. Not that I am supportive of the obscene Centrica profits made. The whole pri...

First look (of a clearly abysmal quality photo) is it not meant to be like a rip down the shirt to demonstrate that we're claret through and through despite the away colour above? Or I could be talking nonsense. If it goes down the back too, it will make the players look like they’re falling in two.

RMutt

Don’t forget that campers have an alternative time zone. Any noise at 10 PM and they’ll be shushing you but loudly greeting good morning to all and sundry at five in the morning whilst you’re nursing your hangover is fine.

Stick in there Mick. People are thinking about you.

I would suspect £40,000 is the average wage + bonuses

Per year for a nurse, teacher etc etc. it’s amazing isn’t it?

We had one to an away game at Derby about ten years ago.

I was on that too. Persisted it down unfortunately but still a memorable ride.
Sadly, I have been told that one of the riders who was on it has since passed away.
I was on the gixxer. There were some photos taken. Has anyone got any?

Blackburns ST fan base has dwindled now to a rather pathetic 8K. A major reason for this is that fans were weaned onto Prem football at stupidly low prices when Walker was basically playing at rent-a-fan. If we did the same we'd be buggered for support when we eventually come back down to earth. I’...

I can’t tell whether some of these replies are serious or not. But of the main body of replies the justification seems to be that if the customer base will pay it then it’s priced correctly. So on that basis supermarkets, energy, utility companies etc. have got it right even though they have all bee...

How much should a ticket be for a match, considering there are tickets starting at £25 for adults Like I said, I’m not expecting sanity in football anymore but £25 for the best seats would seem reasonable. Obviously season tickets to come down too to offer a discount. Even writing that I’m realisin...

RMutt

Them prices are pretty abhorrent for Burnley btw - which is one of the poorest areas of the UK. Can’t help but think that will price many locals out, probably get a few more plastics on the game instead that have latched on to the bandwagon Totally agree but I don’t think you can look to football f...

Volley or half volley, preferably at distance off the under side of the bar. But even a close range shot, penalty or header, off the underside of the bar does it for me.

RMutt

Just to add. Cycling jackets are close fitting so you might not fit a decent sized thermal layer underneath.

RMutt

I have a Gore cycling jacket that packs up small. It’s great for breathabilty. I think it’s gore-tex paclite. No hood though. I’ve found when running little gets rid of moisture quick enough but you do dry out underneath faster.

I did see reports when I worked at RR that the amount of fuel used by a plane per seat were the same or slightly less than a a person in a car if there were 4 people in the car.

You’d probably think twice about a car plus four people trip to Florida for your hols though.

I'm not too worried for the long term (as far as authoritarianism is concerned), believe it or not. Those draconian anti-protest laws were pushed through only because the ministers involved in it thought it was in line with the temperature of the electorate. They were made only to serve the ministe...

I think Stuart Maconie had Crewe as the southern most town in the north of England in his book Pies and Prejudice. An amusing look at the north south divide. He’s another out now, Full English, although I’ve not read that one.

It’s a gross exaggeration of what has always happened. Darwen paying players and pretending they worked in their factories. Rovers buying the Premier League with one man’s money. The inevitable consequence of wealth, ego and poor governance. Fair competition and ‘sport’ go out of the window. A team ...

I don’t think I could dislike a player because they weren’t much good. And perhaps dislike is a bit strong but I have always been intrigued by Lee Dixon and Ian Wright. Both quite likeable as pundits but when it comes to Burnley I sense a sort of denial that they were ever here. I know neither were ...

A few Fall songs mentioned now. It has been said that their song Draygo's Guilt could be a reference to Rossendale post punk band Victor Drago.

I applied for three with friends and family. Purchase information says ballot application with a quantity 3. Ballot successful only has a quantity 1. I'm the only one who receives emails. Not sure if I've got one or three.

Managed to buy all three in the end so worth double checking.

There was a mention of Queen in the god save the queen song. The lyrics have just been changed to king now. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to Elvis or the eighties band King.
