  1. Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson (four-fifths Canadian, btw).
  2. Borrowdale gets red card!
  3. Significant changes to Saints to come at half time?
  4. Not much singing today - and there's 25,000 of 'em!
  5. Chaplow booked.
  6. Meanwhile: "Bash 1; Truro 1".
  7. Weird - Guly taking free-kick on edge of box, instead of lambert!
  8. Merrington says Saints show a bit of nervous edginess.
  9. Just took the lead.
  10. Good chance for Lambert but he fails to make contact with the ball.
  11. A 'subdued start' say the commentators.
  12. Sounds about even.
  13. Love the voice of the bloke who always gives us the Bashly scores!
  14. They mentioned about 23,000. Sale of tickets for this game was tied to tickets for Man U Cup game.
  15. Were doomed? But now ...?
  16. Brilliant!
  17. Yes, that's an excellent soup. Two other excellent soups that I make occasionally: Cullen Skink (it's a potato soup featuring smoked haddock), and vegetable Gumbo soup (key ingredients are okra, green pepper, celery, potato, carrots and corn - lots of spice and hot sauce helps, too!).
  18. Peter Frampton in Almost Famous
  19. Sight - not site.
  20. Agreed. And who decided that 'committing oneself to' was no longer a reflexive verb? Now, people seem to "commit to a cause", instead of "committing themselves to a cause".
  21. I'm glad somebody on here can read and can also think clearly. Now don't get me started on plurals!
  22. Sorry, you are wrong. When "its" is used to mean 'belonging to it', an apostrophe is not correct. The apostrophe is only used for the contraction, when it's means 'it is'.
  23. Gordon Lightfoot: The United Artists Collection. It's a 2CD set that gives you his first four albums (mid-to-late 60s) in the same order as the original LPs. (Which is great - I hate it when they mix them up and they're out of chronological order!) Lightfoot was such a great songwriter. Interesting to see his vocal style shift over the years from an expressive pop vibrato to an understated folk-country drawl. Some of the production favours overblown arrangements (by today's standards) - lots of horns and strings. But other tracks have an acoustic backing, featuring Lightfoot's own guitar playing.
  24. Its - meaning belonging to it - does not take an apostrophe. An apostrophe is used when it's is a contraction - when it means it is.
  25. Well, the word marquee is applied to the sign above the entrance to a cinema or theatre. The name of the film (play, or musical) and one or two of the main actors in it, are usually posted on the marquee. The star names are thought to attract film-goers, regardless of the quality of the film. By analogy, therefore, marquee players are "stars" who can draw spectators to a game, regardless of the team's quality. David Beckham is a good example of a marquee player. People will often attend MLS games in North America just to see Beckham on the field.
