My Top 5 Spotify Songs Of 2025
at 12:31 4 Dec 2025

Nice coverage of the "alternative music scene"

Here's one for you...Hank Wangford..stalwart of the London pub scene a thousand years ago.

His seminal ditty was " I ain't married but the wife is". That title went on to win the accolade of the worst chat up line of 1987 as awarded by some long defunct publication.

Disappointing not to hear a name check for Dublin's finest...The Fatima Mansions.

Their 1985 offering " Only Losers Take The Bus " is a brutal, but realistic, assessment.

If anyone was thinking of asking...yes, I take the bus many times every week.

What Constitutes a Sport
at 09:25 3 Dec 2025

Making a segue from the Formula1 thread I revisited the old debate on what is or isn't a sport. Early thoughts include..

Cooper's Hill annual cheese rolling competition..DEFINITELY a sport,,bodies on the line,multiple concussions and fractures provides a true gladiatoral spectacle.

World Conker Championships..DEFINITELY a sport..inclusive entry criteria,high skills and sportsmanship in the true Olympian spirit.

London Marathon..NO WAY A SPORT...As far as I can tell that is just 50,000 masochists forlornly chasing 4 or 5 very rapid Kenyans through East London on a Sunday morning.

So does he get the job?

My glass remains half full...it's only ginger beer since quack red carded me off the real stuff years ago.

Cliche 1 . It's been a season in two parts.
Pre Tonda we are beaten/humiliated by football behemoths like Hull, Bristol City ,Preston and Blackburn.
Also we couldn't even score at home against some fishy jackasses that currently occupy 21st place in the table.

With Tonda we string 4 in a row in the (W) column. Yesterday we lost away to a 97th minute winner to a team that is pretty short odds to be in the play offs, whilst missing a couple of key players.
Time for a deep breath.

Cliche 2 (PC version)...It's not over 'til the seriously overweight lady sings.

(Readers should note that the above cliche is rendered invalid if you are attending a seriously overweight lady singing competition.

It is a universally accepted fact that the vast majority of Millwall fans have a BMI higher than their IQ..

Millwall Away Day With a Twist
at 19:24 28 Nov 2025

So the riddle is...How do you do an away day where you see Saints score every 3 minutes, Millwall win 2-0 and the 2 teams never occupy the same pitch ?This is how.

It's Boxing day 1969....Fixture List says Chelsea (a)...Me and lifelong mate Rick are on the case. Hythe Ferry, yomp to Central, train to Waterloo (they ran on Boxing Day back then).

Arrive Bridge looking for beers and pre game bantz..Becomes clear that a game is underway.
We squirm our way into the terrace via open gates (for early leavers)...locals confirm we are idiots as the match was an 11-30 k.o...a minute later Channon scores..2 minutes after that the final whistle blows.Sadly 3 goals had entered our onion bag earlier.

We leave to a torrent of abuse...nonces,farm animal molesters and brothel bred snot gobblers are the ones I remember.

Plan B...head to Cold Blow Lane for some God forsaken reason. Millwall beat QPR 2-0 in a game about as interesting as an award winning animated film from Moldova.

The highlight is when 'Arry Cripps intercepts QPR's flying winger and parks him 8 steps back on the terrace where he collides with a crush barrier and sustains what looks like life threatening head trauma.

Several rounds of Watney's Red Barrel chatting to some like minded lads in pub where we spread an urban myth that a few Millwall Dockyard mateys had decided the aforementioned winger met the criteria for one of their 5 a day and had eaten the poor bastard.

The riddle in para 1 is solved. Here's to a win tomorrow. Sadly neither me, 'Arry Cripps nor the winger will attend....
