    Why Do Some Countries .....

    ... seemingly excel at just a single sport? Just watched the All Blacks soundly beat the British Lions and it got me thinking about the above question. New Zealand, to the best of my knowledge, don't conquer all in any other sport nor do the cricketing nations of India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka...

    Whatever happened to sock 'tags'?

    Bit of an odd one, I know, but am watching Sutton Utd v Leeds Utd and it got me thinking of the Leeds team of the early '70s. Not only were they a great team at the time (okay that point is inevitably going to be contentious) but their kit always looked smart .... particularly the sock 'tags'...

    Funniest Film Lines

    Sorry if this topic has been raised before (& mods feel free to move it if it has) but just watching Smokey & The Bandit II (again!) and had forgotten just how funny Jackie Gleason was as Buford T Justice in that film. My favourite lines come right at the start .... Anyone else??
