Not Southport.

I remember going there one year - Summer of Love it must have been as we were all dressed as hippies. We got chased through the town by bikies, were rescued by the police who let us sleep under guard in a marquee at the Southport flower show. The good old days.

Bikies? The old days of Mods and Rockers no doubt? It's the background to tonight's edition of Heartbeat currently playing on itv3

Is that Keith Eddy, 2nd row, four in from the right, behind the gentleman in the suit?

It certainly is. Rather young looking, but then he was only twenty. The one time we should be thankful for a club's boo boys - they targeted him so badly that he left at the first opportunity, which happened to come with our £1,250 transfer bid. Excellent bit of business.

Over to you.

That's the Australian in me - had lots of dealings with them there over the years, so to speak...

I was invited (sounded out rather than formally asked) to "Prospect" once! Gawd only knows why, cos I was never that sort! I politely declined. Just as well, really, a couple of years later there were a few skirmishes between rival gangs, including an infamous shooting, and my then pals (thirty years ago and I've hardly seen them since) were all stripped of their colours. Good lads they were, not entirely sure why they ever got involved either! I've seen first hand what Prospects have to do, I wanted no part of that. Like all of these things, football included, lowest common denominator applies.

Is it a lockheed spy plane?

Close enough.
Lockheed SR71. The original stealth bomber that was used as a spy plane, finally by NASA for experimental purposes after its military retirement. It's main defence was it's speed: fire a missile at it and it would merely accelerate away, over Mach 3. The
36 were built, 12 lost in various accidents, none shot down.
Top of the Top Trumps card game when I was a lad! Iconic design.
New version due to enter service in 2025.

All yours.
 
As no one else is having a go...
RZSS is the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. They've just transferred two pandas to China, so I imagine that's what's going on...

If anyone has a question ready, be my guest! (presuming I'm right)
