Thanks for putting up those, Bruce. Not that I know many of them - only Burnden and the railway station (if that's Trinity Street, which doesn't look quite right).

Mind you it's been many years.

Yeah buddy, you missed the best song of all "Some Enchanted Evening" :D Wasn't Rosana Brazzi singing it though. It was Tito Gobi. You are right, I did. I don't mind Grease or, for that matter, Xanadu but it's not so much about the music. I won't say why but will assure you that it was nothing to do...

BAN GARLIC (and other obnoxious fumes which emanate from the pores of the ingestors). Yuk! I've been a smoker and a non-smoker over the years. When I was a non-smoker the smell of cigarettes was not particularly appealing. Garlic eaters though did, and still do, turn my stomach, literally. On more ...

Yes, TANGO, I'm a bit of a sucker for some of the older ones. I rather like Oklahoma for its toe-tapping and hummable music. West Side Story was a terrific Romeo and Juliet-esque production with Bernstein's music quite brilliant. Then again I love George Gershwin's music and find Bernstein somewhat ...

Hello Hoolio. I echo the sentiments of all the above commentators (apart from Batman who doesn't seem to 'get it'). While I've been involved with dogs they were always my father's. Since moving away from home I've had cats. Two of them (one did a runner) just had to be put to sleep by the vet.. They...

Top Gear is a top show. Of course it's hosted by three Peter Pans who drive like no one else on the road (I hope) and who over act. Unfortunately I'm watching what to you lot would be last year's series - that's before The Hamster's suicide attempt. Still, it's fresh to me so I don't care. My enjoym...

Daxter, old mate, buddy, pal. As you progress along the career path of journalism you will learn more and more about the use of words and phrases. In the case of that you highlighted it was deliberate understatement and directed to those who have at least a basic knowledge of cricket. Please don't g...

Settle down, Tom, no offence meant and certainly no seriousness in the 'play to lose' comment. Oh yes, enough of this 'you' nonsense too. I've lived in this country long enough to be inured to patriotism when it comes to England/Australia contests. I tend to follow the underdog - in this case, given...

Wigan/W.Ham As a matter of interest I thought I'd go and have a look at the remaining games for these two clubs. I don't think I'd like to be an Iron's man, especially the last few games of the season. Wigan Arsenal (A) ** Watford (A) N'cle * Man C (A) Fulham Charlton (A) Bolton ** Villa (A) Spurs L...

Thanks for the comments, all. Nothing offered though rings a bell (or even activates a foghorn). Back to the drawing board.

I just trawled through that thread, Zulu, and cannot really find much to criticise. As best I can see most of them are just about reconciled to relegation and the odd one or two think that the London press journos are all 'ammers at 'art. Maybe they are and maybe they aren't but, after all, WHU is a...

I must admit the thought had crossed my mind, FaninOz. Mind you the Australians were without Ponting (captain and more than competent batsman) due to 'hip injury' and Brett Lee (frighteningly fast bowler and lower end willow wielder) who was 'rested' plus Andrew Symonds injured just as he was gettin...

No, I had not, LGM. Thanks for the link.

Generally speaking, we use breakfast/lunch/tea. I can't really speak for other residents of Australia but I think it's reasonably general. Oddly enough (probably people trying to be posh) it's not unusual to read about or be invited to, for instance, a reunion dinner. These normally consist of a per...

16% for me, which makes me 84% non-chav I guess.

Naturally we don't have chavs where I live, though no doubt there is some other term to accommodate our equivalent. The word 'Pillock' comes to mind. :mrgreen:
