I was at that match too, top pre-match entertainment of school kids in Boro/Oxford kits having a seemingly endless relay race around the pitch perimeter. When the final lap was announced the Oxford kid was well in the lead, that was till he ran past the Boro fans, tripped and got a face full of...

Doesn't happen down here in "that London", cyclists all ride on the pavement!

Was offered The Smiths for £350 at a Northern Polytechnic SU in 1983 for about £350. Phoned a mate at a large London agency, who basically told me that the lead singer wouldn't stop moaning all day, and the fans would hardly buy any beer. Booked Southern Death Cult instead for £400 and made a...

Being of a certain age and well remembering the Class of '86, I remember the groans that would engulf the ground at the mention of "Gary Gill"! Then remember the cheers that would go up when he turned into a completely different player, till he got his leg smashed up!

I went to Zurich 20 odd years ago and dined out at the Curry Wurst stands every night, cheap and very cheerful. That said never fart in your hotel room after a curry wurst, you'll stink yourself out for hours!

I'd love to see them go down because of Dyche!

Considering your average Man Utd fan lives in London or the South Coast, and then after all that travel they'd have to speak to people with Northern accents for directions, probably a traumatic day out for them!

Not sure prison would be much of a deterrent to Mogg, three meals a day and getting regularly bummed. He'll think he's back at school!

I lost my "religion" at about the age of 8 when I realised Jesus was an imaginary man who would get angry with you when it wasn't Christmas, although quite a bit harsher as eternity in Hell is a bit more strident than "you won't get any presents"! Weirdly enough I spent several years more as an...

I was looking forward to next weekend to putting all my Accas on. Turns out all 3 leagues are kicking off at separate times, WTF's the point of that?

Still got one that looks like that I bought at M&S in the 90's!

When I was a kid we used to get various American guests staying over. In about 1972 we had one in the summer and he offered to make "proper" burgers for us. (At this point the only burgers I'd ever had came out of a tin!). Our Mam went up to Hintons to get the stuff for him, and off he went. As...

As I said I'm a licence armourer, I know the difference!

Plan 9 From Outer Space. Usually touted as the worst film ever, but I think it has a naive charm about it!

Basically when I handled firearms, I would only let them out of the safe till they were needed, make sure they were loaded with blanks, then stay in visual contact with the gun till it was to be used, once used, straight back in the safe. Those are of course UK regulations, unfortunately our...
