Euxton. Not that you would get many tourists there.

Not the response you're after, but I wouldn't have thought a team so lowly as Portobello would have replica kits.

You know all that rain we had yesterday? Guess which berk forgot to close his car windows properly?

You're both rather partial to Minis, then?

You'd think that you couldn't get more iconically Northern than "Lancashire Blues", the Coronation Street theme.

However, not only were composer Eric Spear and trumpeter Ronnie Hunt both from Surrey, but it was written in Guernsey, for goodness' sake.

Reminds me of the Swedish publicity for "Life of Brian" which said the film was "so funny, it was banned in Norway."

Makes you wonder where they pushed the pineapple.

Well, it *was* 1984.

So it's all right afterwards, then?

Have I missed something? Anything specific he's done or are you just being generally proud?

I beg to disagree re: Steep Hill. That place nearly wiped me out the other week.

No, that's Bolero. Bodega was Queen of the Iceni.

Well, he managed to convert you to Non-League football, so anything's possible.

Or if it's even going to Peterborough in the first place. You never know...

Hope you two have a fantastic day.

I've had this car ten months now, and never knew it had an alarm. Until it randomly set itself off just now.

Agreed. That said, Whaplode St. Catherine is a splendid name for a village.

Obviously I already know and don't worry - that secret's safe with me.

Meanwhile, I assume that can is of Tetrosyl, with the final letter obscured. As Tetrosy, it sounds like it should be some Czechoslovakian product. Then again, it would no doubt have a Škoda on the front if it were!

Getting a bit fed up of the constant trailers for the latest Final Destination film. Seriously, anyone who enjoys watching people being killed in ever more gruesome ways needs serious psychiatric help.

Forty years ago today.

So the white smoke has appeared over the Vatican, meaning there is a pope. At least there will be when he's announced. So in the meantime does that make him Schrödinger's Pope?

Random fact: The Swedish word for a tortoise is "sköldpadda", which literally translates as "shield toad".

Nineteen Weeks.

Would you really want to taste something that can taste you back?

The last time the Papacy and the See of Canterbury were simultaneously vacant was between 1 February and 31 May 1691.

What a DAFt idea!

Agreed. I'm looking for something rather small for my next car, for various reasons including the whole parking fiasco.

I'll be honest - I wouldn't have listened to any of the albums that were released in 1988! I had my own unconventional tastes.

Club issue apology after holding minute's silence for player who is still alive A Bulgarian first-division team held a minute’s silence for a former player… only to later discover he’s still alive. Arda Kardzhali made the shocking gaffe ahead of facing tradit…

As cock-ups go, this is up there among the greatest.

There's an even more pointless one near me.

Unfortunately, I imagine that the vast majority of that 77m (a) knew what they were voting for, and (b) don't regret it one bit.
