    Sadly, bar two tears of Powell and Bauer's goal, it has been this since Curbishley left 17 years ago.

    A VERY good footballer and a terrible shame his career ended so early.

    Just seen a report on the BBC News that the ceiling of a class in a nursery school on the Isle of Dogs has collapsed.
    They showed a picture.
    It was a scene of utter devastation. Looked like those buildings in Ukraine hit by a missile.

    The good news is that the ceiling collapsed at night when the room and those all around it were empty of people.
    Thank God for that :emoticon-0131-angel

    Blimey, I'll love to see the reports back of how/why this happened.
    I imagine the school will be closed for a while for inspections.

    From what I gathered, the class room was a single storey building next to a taller one.
    A section of roof slid off the taller building and fell on the classroom roof, smashing it down on the empty desks underneath.
    If it had happened during a school day it would have been utter carnage.

    Somebody should answer for it. But thank God nobody was there <applause> <hug> :emoticon-0152-heart

    It does not bear thinking about if this happened during the school hours.
    Thankfully, a narrow escape.

    Off to a couple of days in Kent. Sissinghurst gardens, then a wine-tasting in Tenterdon, stay the night in a nearby pub then a walk tomorrow. Cornwall is OK but you can't beat Kent.

    Also a very tasty lager “Curious Brew” - although I think they’re a separate entity now
