How about a few “not a lot of people know thats”
at 14:20 25 Apr 2025

Elvis Costello released 'Every Day I Write the Book' in 1983.

His only book was published in 2015.

Assuming he was telling the truth in 1983, that's only just over 5 words per day...

I had Bryan Ferry's old room at university - 48 Old Hall.

Which I accept is a slightly more oblique claim to fame, but absolutely falls within the remit of 'not a lot of people know that'.

Les for me, as it told you all you needed to know about what was to come...

First shout out for Danny Shittu, mostly because in that period we weren't allowed nice things, and just seeing him running out at the start of a match was enough to make you think the opposition was going to have to be very very good to beat us.

Similarly, Clarke Carlisle.

I saw Shakin Stevens today.
at 10:50 18 Apr 2025

Local pub put on a Shakin Stevens tribute act, to which I suggested the only thing worse than a Shakin Stevens tribute act would be Shakin Stevens himself.

Could you add your own apostrophes please, my keyboard is playing up.

3 taking the difficult 20 miler north from here - nice that there's no snow this season, was a frosty one last year.

Anyone intending to use the freebie car-parks at the retail park or Tescos off Blackpool Road - check the maximum stay on these as I understand hours have been reduced.

The Abort Guidance System which navigated the stricken Apollo 13 LM safely back to Earth was (in part) designed by actor Jack Black's mum.

that's a great variety, must be lovely to watch. Last summer we had a good collection visiting, including a sparrowhawk, which quickly became a poor collection visiting and one very fat sparrowhawk...

Reminds me of my old neighbour who decided to start keeping rescue chickens. He started with six, three weeks later he was down to three. So he added six more, and additional predator-proofing around the roost. A few weeks further on however, back down to a total of four.

I pointed out that, far from keeping chickens, he was in fact keeping foxes.

This is an exciting new restatement of Vine's Law (the less a player plays, the better they become).

If we had an award for significant advancements to the LFW Message Board Glossary, you would be the first winner of the Sam Field's Medal.

Oddest Football Club Merch You've Seen (not necessarily R's)
at 09:01 3 Mar 2025

not football, but Hamish Hawk at New Century Hall, Manchester last week, the merch table was groaning with usual range of band t-shirts, CDs, vinyl records... and tea-towels.

Rock'n'roll.

Does that third kit Villa are wearing in the CL remind you of anything?





That's not how you spell 'Binatone' either (I think the hoops on that one were blue though?)

Was Prestons goal totally against the morals of the game

Back in the day we didn't even let southerners play in our football league.

I think you can ascribe the decline of the Empire to a period somewhere between the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and Woolwich Arsenal getting promoted to the First Division in 1903. Coincidence? I think not.

The first recorded instance of a 10 shilling note being waved with the taunt 'you've never seen one of these' was at Accrington in 1905.
