    The first ever sign of Human life in Britain has been found in the form of footprints off the Norfolk Coast at Happisburgh! So Norfolk really is the place from where Europe became civilised! <yikes>

    Alright somebody has got to ask it, how many toes were on the footprint?

    If there is no evidence of toe webbing I am calling bullsh*t.

    I think it's fantastic they lasted all those thousands of years and only got washed away after somebody had photographed them.

    Have I overslept and woken up on the first of April???????

    Have they found any evidence of human life in Suffolk yet?

    Where does a Town fan sit in the evolutionary ladder?
    Single cellular organisms
    |
    |
    Multicellular organisms
    |
    |
    People who display their pants whilst wearing jeans/tracky bottoms etc (Plenty of town fans here, but alas also plenty of NCFC yoof)
    |
    |
    Simple animals (Sounds like a Town fan again!)
    |
    |
    Fish, plants, insects, anphibians, reptiles, mammals (Town fans reached this stage yet? probably! Birds, flowers
    |
    |
    Primates (Is the average Binner this advanced, unlikely but some I am lead to believe have oposable thumbs unfortunitely allowing them to make it outdoors!)
    |
    |
    Great apes - Hominidae (No town fans here these guys are "Great")
    |
    |
    Homo (Silence children) Neanderthalensis (The height of suffolk evolution surely)

    Homo sapiens (Mostof us from the enlightened county of Norfolk - how is it that the TV camera's always seem to find the few remaining Norfolk folk who belong to the previous catagory <grr>

    Bah!

    And what, of course, is more remarkable is that despite civilisation spreading from God's own county to the four corners of the Earth, it never forced its way the mere 70 miles South.

    Rumour has it that they made landfall near Woodbridge, looked around and said "**** all for us here, chaps", and so began the long trek north until they found the utopia that is...........Naarflk <ok>
