It does. The whole display is a litany of death and despair...happy holidays everyone.

It is indeed the Little Marton one that counts. it's quite an important building. To mark its significance, Blackpool Borough Council commissioned, at considerable expense, a beautiful brass plaque telling the story. I presume it's still there to this day. Sadly having nobody on the staff that...

Is that like Berwick still being at war with Russia?

The places were packed with Super 8 reels of hot guppy on guppy action, as well as magazines like 'Amsterdam Angel Fish', I believe one of the shops even had a 'What the Tetra Saw' machine.

The expression 'the wish is father to the thought' springs readily to mind.

Beautifully written @petrusha but that's an awful lot of words to lay on a morning head.

I can't tell a lie (ask any of my ex-wives) but I buggered it up. No City or Everton vehicles were spotted but I completely forgot the standing on the water/gas access covers. I am so sorry. I take full responsibility for any points dropped tonight.

I am off out for my afternoon stroll in a moment. If I can stand on the centre name plate of every utility access cover that I pass, and I don't see the word City, or Everton (unlikely) on any van or vehicle for the duration of my walk, City will win. I will report back in an hour or so. Wish...

I am running* a 5k on Sunday and I will be wearing a City shirt. The event is deep in Surrey so there will inevitably be lots of Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal fans there, along with a smattering of rubbin' rags. I know the organiser and I have asked if I can have 115 as my race number. *I say...

So what if he hates, or pretends to hate City? He's a troubled individual with one marketable asset, his ability to articulate opinions shot through the prism of his former glories as a very good footballer. What else would you have him do? He's milking the last drops of his relevance before...

Naughty French, brave but depressed Russians, it gets cold in winter. War is bad, and peace is no picnic either. 'All we can know is that we know nothing'.

Oh, and here's a thing. Did everyone refer to Paul Power as Zico, or was that just me and my mates?

I didn't miss a game that season, so was at every cup match. The Everton replay was a wild night. We got back to Blackpool and went to the Adam and Eve Nightclub, it was as dead as a dodo but the perfect place to get happily drunk in. The Ipswich semi final was the last game I went to with my...

Of course it might be a case of distance lending a certain enchantment but I enjoyed a good languish. I was speaking to a young Spurs fan the other day, and I heard myself using the expression ' character building'. Boy did we build some character back in our days of wine and losses.

And lest we forget in all the 115 furore and pearl clutching, at least one of those gentlemen had a penchant for motorway service stations and brown envelopes.

Potter at Brighton and Frank at Brentford both overachieved and went on to fail at 'bigger' clubs. Perhaps it's the clubs, and the way that they operate that's the diamond, not the coach?

What a day, I thought we were going to win the lot that season, the thought didn't last long. Notts County was a great trip too, terrible result but a belting laugh. I still have a scar on my right hand from helping some blues access the ground via a hole in a fence. It was also the day of 100...

Do not make me whip out my theretofore.

I was in a meeting this morning with around half a dozen Spurs fans, it was a toss up who was more pissed off, me or them. To a man they wanted to lose last night so that Frank would be sacked. Strange bunch us football fans.
