    Worst Vegetable?

    Well Rosa, on Sept 11 on the Vernon Handley thread you had two attempts to take the piss, wind me up, amuse the punters or whatever it is that you try to do on this forum. It's now getting a bit close to stalking but for the time being do keep trying luvvy. Oh and

    Worst Vegetable?

    Chard is a bloody good way of destroying an otherwise decent pottage/potage/potaje.
  3. Apparently Brighton and Hove Albion have a surprising number of fans in Albania. :nod: Does anyone know why this is?
  4. I have no idea how to post images, but Ali, you have a lookalike: a goalkeeper who started out at Villa and played 5 first-team games between 1959 and 1961 and eventually made a name for himself elsewhere for rather a long time (especially in 1975 but Ray Graydon scored at the second attempt). wiki entry link to google imagesEDITED for The_Rev.
  5. What those who were at the match may have missed due to the lack of close-ups was the look of increasing desperation on Marlon Harewood's face. Crap he may have been, but "demonstrating a less than great attitude"? Nah. That wasn't the problem.
  6. Pff. Holy Grail/Life of Brian. Life of Brian/Holy Grail... But a word or two in favour of The Meaning of Life: Mr Creosote, eh?
  7. No votes for the cleaning lady? Terry Jones? Oh dear.
  8. 1-Cleese, by a whisker. 2-Idle/Palin/Jones. But I loved all of them.
  9. I was once introduced to some woman and told, "shake hands with the lady in charge of the operation to raise the Mary Rose." Unfortunately I'd been out of the UK for a while and had never heard of her. Nor the Mary Rose. And told her so. She looked bemused.
  10. Yes sonny? Want to sit on my knee?
  11. Ashton's good but RSC's record with Blackburn last season speaks for itself. Superb old-fashioned type of target-man/goalscorer/leader. Yes he would suffer at Blackburn from the loss of Bentley. Sad we don't have a winger that could supply him with good balls. Oh hang on... :oops: So Santa Cruz, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at Ashton.
  12. An old US captain called Gorringe. Once painted the First Mate orange. Erm, yay, or whatever.
  13. BBC commentator Alan Gibson, who ended up getting the sack for being permanently pissed, had this to say about the New Zealand fast-medium bowler Bob Cunis: "This is Cunis at the Vauxhall End. Cunis, a funny sort of name: neither one thing nor the other."
  14. Yoru my bestest little m8 briny :bonk: . Yeah! :yawn:
  15. King Carol II of Rumania was a keen engine driver. Indeed he once drove a Royal Train containing Edward VIII, Mrs Simpson and entourage. His brother, the Crown Prince acted as guard on that occasion. The last time Edward and Mrs Simpson saw him, Carol was having a heated argument with the Crown Prince about who would drive the train back to Bucharest and who would travel in the brake van.
  16. One afternoon while watching Villa play QPR at Loftus Road I sat behind Robin "Confessions of a Window-Cleaner" Askwith, and just a few seats along from George "Doctor in the House/My Brother's Keeper" Layton and Tim "The Goodies" Brooke-Taylor. None of whom won the Lucky Programme Draw, a QPR training top. That was MEEEEEEEEEEE! And I once refused to play table tennis with a brother or cousin of the great Desmond Douglas. Cos he would have murdered me.
  17. If you do a search for any post by gabby15 you'll see he has a card - a yellow one like mine.
