I still have uncomfortable memories from many decades ago when we used to regularly eat at particular a Chinese in Sheffield - until one day we read in the local paper that it had been closed down...

I was there! And at every round from the 3rd to the semi. For the final I was sitting half-way down the steps from the royal box. (Well, next to them, not on them you understand!) If you squint you...

and then you notice there are two sets of boot prints...

My dad and his dad used to go together from when my dad was a kid in the 1930s right up to 1960. Then I inherited my grandad's season ticket (Halfords Lane) for my 8th birthday and went with my dad...

a) no
b) sort of -- bread not cake

Mr and Mrs Lecter?

5th March 1960 - drew 1-1 against Bolton. The young Bobby Robson had stayed overnight at our house (as he often did on the nights before a game so my dad could keep him away from temptations) and it...

Ah - makes sense now. None of the references I found, including the EFL's official rules, mentioned that little wrinkle.

Thanks!

I'm confused! Does anybody know what the current (Jan 2022) rules are for the number of substitutes allowed in a Championship league game? I've read so many changes and variations since this Covid...

Yes, no!

Longer answer: We were both 68 when we last moved. We had previously moved 12 years earlier, when we "followed the work", and at the same time downsized, 'cos it seemed like a good thing...

If we're talking about just the top 4 divisions (not what is now the Conference), by my calculation they are:

Aston Villa
Charlton Athletic
Liverpool
Nelson (1919 to 1936)
New Brighton (1923...

...and half way down I met the barrel coming up...

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. There's a place up here (Lancashire) that makes Marmite icecream as a soft scoop, and it's really, really nice. Think salt caramel as a flavour.

Before you get too dismissive of the numbers:

Firstly, it's 0.07%, not 0.0007%

Secondly, virtually all the Covid-related deaths have been of people aged 45 and over, so the 50,000 is out of a...

Since the opinion seems to be "Them's the rules, play to them," surely there is the chance to exploit this. Once an attacking side gets into the opponent's penalty area, rather than trying shots on...

Not true, but a popular myth. There is no etymological support for -ise being correct. -ize comes from the classical Greek ending -izo. Up until about 1950 all grammarians...

We probably bumnped into each other! Mothers, Opposite Lock and Rum Runners were my/our regular haunts too. Claim-to-fame: I was at Mothers Club for the live recording of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma...

My early homes have all long gone, but last year I did find an old picture of the house my grandmother was born in, and grew up in. She would have been 9 when this picture was taken (1905) in 25...

I do indeed. Must have been the late '60s/early '70s. He played mainly for the reserves, but managed a handful of first team appearances. He was a big b*gg*r, and his trademark was charging through...

I was invited to the daughter/SIL's pub to be given the news -- in a rather delightful way -- that they've started brewing their own beer.

I don't remember much of Monday!

Yep, all of the above. Plus 1966 England v Germany. Apparently I nearly went to the 1954 final as well, but my mum refused to let my dad take a 2-year-old infant, though he thought it would have been...

It's on Sky Sports Football (channel 403) red button from 19:40, or on the mobile app.

That's about half what my granddad drank, and he lived to 98. My grandma got through a bottle of gin a week and she lived to 99. (And when she went we didn't dare cremate her!) I wonder how long they...

Hold on, there's something wrong here. What do you mean "they do the hoovering"? Where have I gone wrong? :?
