Just listened to that now. Nothing I hadn't heard before, just never in the great man's words.

A hero. Simply.

Thank you so much to you all for taking the time to give us some suggestions - they look absolutely fab. The view in Affetside was exactly what I had in mind, and I do love those little turrets, would be great to get some photos at the top as you suggest!! We definitely need to have a drive around,...

No-one, not even Spurs fans, are going to buy two identical shirts that have a different bit of writing on the front.

IIRC West Brom sold theirs by the game for a good part of last season.
Oh, yes they will.

Sure I am, yet to meet someone who does not like them and all seem to really like them...passionately too :) Not idea what the Spinal tap reference in the previous post means :) They had speakers went up to 11. The 'documentary maker' asked why they didn't buy normal speakers (which went up to 10) ...

Tottenham are a bunch of merecenary b*stards. Discuss

I can't see this anywhere else so I thought I'd post my amazement at the news Spurs are set to have a different sponsor for each compettition this season. 'Excellent' you may think. 'What a fantastic revenue stream they will have for next season' Or, like me you may think what a cynical marketing pl...

Can't listen to it at work so I'll check it later. Incidentally, why is he wearing what looks like a Wolves shirt under his tracky-top? Possibly one he swopped with his England team mate, Billy Wright? For a couple of seasons it was our second shirt in case of clashes, no such things as an"away shi...

Rock Gardens in Moss Bank Park (where we had some of ours done) Has that place been cleaned up recently? I went past a while ago and it was totally overgrown and looking pretty sorry for itself which is a shame, our classes used to go there a lot when I was at Church Road Primary it was always kept...

You can still find great stuff which has been around 40 years Tango . That's the beauty of music. Give a fw of Mountain's stuff a listen & you'll be impressed. Anyone who likes blues should then give Leslie West's solo stuff an ear. Most of the stuff I like has been around for forty years Bobo. :mr...
