Whitey Grandad

It always used to be a Saturday. These days it's anything but.

My wife's grandfather was a Wallace.

I must have missed that match.

We should all take our ball away.

Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb.

In Italian the word "binario" means railway platform (or rails, tracks). No, I can't see a connection either.

That would be "Deutschland Über Alles" and the first verse of the Deutschland Lied has been banned since The War, but we don't mention that.

Americanish is a different language. Some of these different spellings were correct in English before we changed them.

Only for immigrants.

Is this why we all suffered to "Save the NHS?"

Ramsay MacDonald was way before our time. I don't know what position he played though.

It's something that's drilled into players at all levels all over the world. "Don't pass the ball across your own penalty area"

For him to be sold we need to find a buyer.

But where is she going to put it?

Just a small point but it ought to be Stephens's and not Stephens'.

Just because it was you.

That's ok for those young unattached without responsibilities. Other fan types are available.

That doesn't help much in the says of five substitutes. The opposition can employ a couple of forwards to run around like electric bunnies for 40 minutes and bring on the empty players when they're knackered.

Smallbone?

I agree. It's similar with the England matches. You can't go unless you've gone before. Surely a fairer system would be to say that you can't go if you have been before.

I used to read MAD in the 1950s. I've just done some research and originally the Alfred E Neuman graphic was used to advertise painless dentistry. I used to like the printed adverts in it and I still remember two phrases from them, "I understand that if I am not completely satisfied then I have been had" "I understand that I do not have to sign this for it to be legally binding upon me"

That would be fairer.

Used a parking company when we went on a cruise several years ago. The driver had a hi-viz jacket with a big plastic zip. When I collected my car there was a big zip-sized scar across my steering wheel where he had got out in a hurry. I only used their service because it was included in the price of the cruise.
