Nothing to do with the current case, but I've discovered that Paula Vennells was an exact contemporary of mine at university. We actually attended the same graduation ceremony. I feel a bit unclean now
I bet it was a lot more than the £2,500 pa I was offered by The Cricketer. This was in 1983 but that was derisory even then. When I told them that, the answer was "Yes, we were looking for someone with a private income" :lolol::lolol::lolol:
Excellent night with Doctors of Madness at the Duke of Wellington (with our very own Attila guesting on violin). One of my favourite bands and to see them in such a small setting was a real treat. My second gig in a week, following the Sam Lee one on Wednesday (a very different show) ... both...
Yep, and if the MP gets such a suspension then his constituency can set up a recall petition asking for him to be sacked. But the point is that it's his or her constituency that does this, not parliament. I'm not saying that he shouldn't be suspended (in fact, I think he should) but there is due...

Yeah, that's the one I immediately remember. It put us some way behind Chesterfield and it was a game that we shouldn't have lost. It was a miserable train journey home. I also split up with my girlfriend the next day, just to round off the weekend.

For all the giddy heights we've achieved recently, he's still the best player that I've seen play for us. Imagine our current team with peak Lawro in it.
