    Were the Bash Street Kids in the Beano? Or was it the Dandy...

    Whenever I hear 'Baggy Trousers' by Madness it brings to mind the Bash Street kids.

    I've been writing for Viz since 2010.

    The pay is awful, but it's great fun.

    To return briefly to 'Modern parents' vs 'Victorian Dad' *

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c98166j9l0xo

    The goalkeeper in question has apologised it seems. Through a statement by his Club.
    Presumably not in person.

    Investigations are still ongoing.
    Though why I'm not sure. The video evidence doesn't leave much room for interpretation.
    I very much doubt the ball boy impugned the honour of Jack McIntyre's mother or wife.
    Just offered him a football.


    * always makes me think of Jacob Rees-Mogg <laugh>

    Another Not Guilty for Blatter and Platini. Impressive result for their lawyers.

    I'm so happy for :emoticon-0171-star: Marcus Rashford :emoticon-0171-star: <hug>

    But if I was a Villa fan I might be getting annoyed by the impression that he's bigger than the whole Club.
    All the pundits seemed to talk about was MR, and how sweet it is that he's getting back to his best.
    Ah, Diddums.

    This day in 1986 we beat Norwich City 1-0 at "home" in front of 8,400 supporters. John Pearson scored the only goal to bag the points.

    On our way back to the 1st Division :emoticon-0165-muscl

    I was not there. I never went to any games at the exile grounds. Was just a few months into my first job, metal bashing in a workshop near Tower Bridge.

    I still work for a firm that does some, in West London. Am a manager now.
    Sometimes wish I'd passed that up and carried on working with the steel. Nothing as satisfying as making things.
    But the money's better :emoticon-0164-cash:

    Agree but manual work takes its toll on your body as you get older - still I’m only working till I win the lottery <cheers>
