I’m sure the lad is very sensible really and will be taking advantage of tax relief on private defined-contribution pension schemes to ensure a long and comfortable retirement. |

I’m afraid I never knew Alan either but learned a lot about him from the article in the 400th issue of AKUTRs, the third last copy of which Julie sold me outside the Loftus Road entrance after the match yesterday. Some wonderful anecdotes contained therein. Sounds like he was quite a character. RIP, fella, and best wishes to all his friends and family. |

I’m glad something’s self-seeded. The pitch doesn’t look like it’s about to anytime soon. |

Could be onto something there, Numpty. Translates into Latin as ‘Spes Nulla Est’. Might just have it embroidered on my retro shirt. |

Don’t mention the Four Year Plan. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it. |

Would have been in that order, too, in those days. |

The OP speculates that Royal Navy recruitment might be affected by the new 14-unit per man rule. But why not look on the bright side? Wouldn’t this provide new opportunities for an updated version of the press gangs, modelled perhaps on the noble methods pioneered by ICE in the USA? Every cloud has a silver lining. |

My first proper job was trainee computer operator at a life assurance company in the City back in the 70’s. The interview concluded with the Shift Leader asking if I drank and played football (they had a works team). I answered in the affirmative and was offered the job there and then. |

A thumbs-up for ‘This Happy Breed’ from me, too. Seems to be on quite a lot on some of these nostalgic Freeview channels. The house that features in the film is in Alderbrook Road, Clapham. My snapshot ‘top three’ is … 1. All The President’s Men 2. Get Carter 3. Kind Hearts & Coronets It may well be different tomorrow! |

No, but I’m doing my badges! LFW never ceases to amaze me. When I woke up this morning I could never have imagined that Mohamed Maaroufi’s splendid goatee was about to receive such public adulation (nor, I suspect, did Mohamed Maaroufi). |
