What do you watch on a Friday when there's no match at Ravers? I've just watched half an hour of The Good Old Days; complete with Leonard Sachs and 'Down at the Old Bull and Bush.' I can't believe it, I really did that. Clearly, without Ravers or at least something rugby shaped, on a Friday I'm a lost soul.

Rummaged through my dvds and dug out Band of Brothers. Better viewing second time around.

Leonard was a celeb sex offender before it was fashionable.

Solids, your time was not wasted watching Maneul's Da, Leonard.

I assume he delivered lengthy lines of languid loquaciousness, looking lugubriously like a louche lounge-lizard?

Fined £75 when it was a fair slap of semolians. Wonder what Manuel thought of it?

First defeat of the season in the league for the Binmen. :shock:

I wonder if his crime (no idea what it was) would make him an unemployable pariah today or if it was something that wouldn't even cause a bobby on the beat to break stride. Funny old world.

Bought a pair of tortoiseshell shoes yesterday. Took me an hour walking out of the shap.
The first pair I tried were a bit tight. Yer man says "try them with the tongue out". "Theyth sthill feelth a bith tighth" says I.
When I got home the wife says "why is one of your laces loose". I showed her the box. It clearly said Tai Wan.

Anybody watch Derrygirls?
Some great lines but I thought it was mostly average enough. The press seem to have loved it, even across the water.

Acting a little OTT but enjoyed it.
