Reply | “Offender” chant

I guess our version of ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’ is the equivalent to Palace’s ‘Glad All Over’, talking of which, I do occasionally wonder how that chant migrated south of the river. The Dave Clark Five were out of north London and their music was known as ‘The Tottenham Sound’. Due diligence clearly not a priority back in the 60’s.
Agree with all the comments about the utterly depressing sexist, racist, homophobic chanting, it goes without saying, a major reason I have hesitated to introduce my friend’s teenage daughter to live football.
ITV had a great piece about dinosaur attitudes to women’s football during the Euros recently (the late journalist Brian Glanville a particular culprit) but that’s probably a discussion for elsewhere. |

That’s the one. She then asks him if he always wears glasses, while helpfully removing them. He says, “Yes, except in bed”. (On reflection, probably one for the ‘chat-up line’ thread, that). |

Apologies if this has been mentioned before (long thread, this!) but the house used for the exterior shot of Harry Palmer’s (Michael Caine) flat in the Ipcress File (the one where his omelette-making technique is enough to seduce Sue Lloyd) is the one on the corner of Stanlake Villas and Stanlake Road, just round the corner from HQ. |

In that case the only solution would be to initiate a new thread dedicated to ‘free verse’ alternatives. |

Missed opportunity there, Sonic. ‘L’enfer, c’est les autres’’, surely, in view of our current French connection? |

Thoroughly enjoying my ‘second childhood’ now I’m retired from the cab trade. My newly-acquired Freedom Pass feels like a geriatric Red Rover and I’m spending the summer hopping on and off the buses (except the ones that go down the Fulham Road of course). The 148 from Camberwell Green to White City is a good ‘un. |
