Whitey Grandad

We saw her in the flesh at the King's Theatre Southsea along with John Inman.

My sister is good friends with Nobby Dalton, bass guitarist with the Kinks. They used to be neighbours and were always in each other's fridges looking for a drink. I know hom well and we've had quite a few chats.

🤔 "With hilarious results" It still tasted like a jelly baby though. Just one big mix up of flavours. Unless I've just eaten an alien 🫠. If my stomach starts John Hurting then we know that they have arrived amongst us. Quite a plot.

What's really annoying is when the emergency jelly babies that I keep in the car melt into one big lump. They end up looking like an alien foetus.

Looking around for someone to blame.

That explains why we're so poor defensively. They're all playing in the wrong position!

It never fails to amaze me that anybody actually believes this crap. It's an algorithm looking at videos FFS and yes, I do suspect a hint of sarcasm in there somewhere.

Smart work.

It is when we're playing in it.

With whom?

Have you seen him play?

Would another relegation make any difference?

If it was that good I would have remembered it. Unless I changed channel as soon as I heard it of course.

Yes indeed. Everything that British football used to be until the theoreticians got involved.

In all the time that he's been with us he hasn't improved or learnt anything. As the saying goes, it may be that the only reason for his continued presence is to be an example to others.

Indeed it was. "Sorry!" starring Ronnie Corbett. "Language, Timothy!" Was its best known and only catchphrase.

Sometimes it's done as a favour to the player.

Whatever happened to the head slap emoticon?

Too late. We're saddled with it now.

Heat? Underinflation? But in general, yes. It doesn't take much of a pothole to take a lump out of a tyre. Either way, a car at 125 mph has over three times the kinetic energy of one doing 70 mph.

The speed may have caused the tyre to fail.

No no no. He wasn't that good.

Many years ago we went to a wedding at Hinckley and stayed overnight in a hotel nearby. By strange coincidence that same weekend Leicester City were holding a preseason friendly against our Blue Friends from further down the coast. Coming back from a morning sightseeing as we approached the car park the whole of their squad was walking slowly back along the path towards us. One slip of my foot on my accelerator and I could have wiped out the whole lot of them. What a dilemma! We were all eating in the hotel restaurant that evening. 'Harry spent all his time on the phone. Joe Jordan sat quietly on his own reading a newspaper whilst he was eating. Most of the rest of the squad seemed to be in a side room staring blankly at their laptops. Someone suggested to me that they were studying gambling websites.

Stupid idea. Charging for luggage trolleys likewise. I recently came back through Gatwick and the trolleys at baggage reclaim all needed a coin to release them. You get your coin back afterwards but who the he'll has a pocket pull of coins these days when they come back from abroad? There were plenty of trolleys but only about two were being used.

I can't imagine ABK in any sort of race.
