UEFA great goals DVD 2 Dr Who t-shirts (one's actually my birthday present from June- the sister had lost it and then found it again...XXL size though, cheeky bint) Judge Dredd mug Avengers Assemble calender some money can't complain really - I gave everyone else calenders!

Perhaps it's a cat-alogue? I thank you!

Nicky Banger is named in Hugh McIlvanney's book "Footballers with inappropriate names" after he repeatedly failed to score in Dundee nightclubs. Other footballers mentioned are David Goodwillie, Danny Invincible and Dean Brill. Ally Dick sued the author when he was left out the book.

The popular dish of spaghetti with mince in tomato sauce was invented by Alberto Stepto of Bognor. His Spaghetti Bognorese was ordered one day by a rep from Dolmios who was on holiday in Bognor. As a result Dolmios ripped off the recipe and renamed the dish Spaghetti Bolognese as this sounded better in marketing terms. Similarly the Hawaiian pizza actually originates from Newcastle where it was known as the Howay Man Pizza.

CAT Scans are known as YUSUF scans in Islamic countries.

I can mind seeing film of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge* as a nipper- it made me feart whenever we went across the Forth Road Bridge (*US suspension bridge. It used to sway in the wind due to resonance or something. Look up footage on youtube for a laugh)

I missed that discussion, perhaps you can give me a TS of it...

I have an interest in pickelhaubes (or to you peasants the spiked helmet popular in the 19th C mainly among the Germans) and also Swedish blonde females. So I was happy to find these photos of the Swedish Royal Guard recently...

Red Admiral in Kelvingrove Park last month.

Why does my work allow people to go for a smoke break and I'm not allowed to go for a w**k break? It seems a tad unfair...

old? grumpy? senile? out of touch? Have you ever thought about becoming a football administrator Dave?

can't believe Tom McB was only listed in the 20s. Tom McB is a walloper.

He's as real as the "1000 strong Spartan army".....

Hibs in the top 10... now there's something I haven't heard in a long time....

I'm enjoying all this, safe in the knowledge that some shite puns apart I'm too beige to be a roaster.... ....I think....

is it water-gate proof? yes, another topical joke from TamtheBam there folks....

I got one of these for my christmas last year. Unfortunately I stood on it and haven't got round to getting it fixed. Think they're quite cheap anyway.. I've got various timepieces kicking about the house. I don't tend to wear a wristwatch so I'm using a wind up sekonda pocketwatch that I found. I have a nice Limit watch that my Grandma gave me back in 1978 and it sat in a drawer for years without working until I got it fixed. I've got my Dad's old watch which I think was a 21st birthday present (he chucked it in the bin when it stopped working- not much sentiment there- and I rescued it). Haven't got round to fixing it, it would feel a bit strange wearing it as he's no longer around but I might get it fixed. My great uncle's pocket watch used to be in a drawer in the house but I think some ****'s nicked it as I couldn't find it recently. I was given another great uncle's watch chain recently so it would have been nice to put the two together. "Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”

I'm wondering if Santa has trouble filling Throbber's Christmas sock each year.....

I've read these Asterix puns while pished- I'm Gaul Bladdered...

He said the Leeds fans were singing his name in the town. Aye Steve, they were: "Steve Evans ate my pie, Steve Evans ate my pie, I know he did, I'm sure he did, Steve Evans ate my pie.."

Stringy Bob was framed. Someone else sent Phil Cool that sanderling.

Richard III. Fucking Tudor propaganda. BTW, did you know Richard III before he was King helped capture Berwick for the English? We Scots have him to thank for that..

Definitely innocent, right P&Bers......?
