Or the Mexicans

Reverting to the smaller birds I had another first time visitor in my Southwick garden this morning. There was a willow warbler singing its heart out in one of my apple trees.

Thanks for the heads up. Parking booked.

Never have an alcoholic drink at the ground as I am usually driving, but do occasionally have a pie and Bovril on the concourse if kick off time impinges on my usual eating arrangements. Might have a peek at the Terrace on Saturday as I pass on my circumnavigation of the ground prior to the game...

Couple of things I learned the other night (don't know if they are actually true though). 1) Old Boat Corner at the top of Ditchling Road was named after an old boat dumped there for use as a shepherds hut. 2) The expression 'Don't spoil the ship for a hapeth of tar' is not nautical, but...

Happy new year one and all. Watching BBC Alba for a proper ceilidh (pity I can't understand a word as it's in Gaelic!)

Thanks for the heads up. Parking space booked.

HT v Spurs 3-0. Goals from Peupion from a great through ball from Howell, a Howell penalty and another from Howell. How long before Howell is considered for a spot in first team squad?

Anyone remember 'The Flipside of Dominick Hide' and the sequel 'Another Flip for Dominick' from the 1980's? TV time travel plays. I enjoyed them and remember them fondly.

At primary school I was standing at the teacher's desk being berated for producing some sub standard work. As I turned to return to my desk he said 'pull your socks up, boy', so I bent down and pulled them up. I couldn't understand why this made him angry as I had obeyed his request.

That's who I have been likening him to, as well.

Born in Shoreham (not Southlands- it was full at the time) and lived in the same road in Southwick for all but 11 of my 77 years. (Those 11 were in Shoreham when I first married). Father not interested in football, apart from doing pools, but mother, being a Scot was very keen. Always followed...

My wife has turned from a Royalist into a Republican after watching that documentary!

Peter Ward once accidentally stood on my foot in the crowded bar of the Amsterdam Pub in Shoreham as I squeezed past him. I believe it was his 'local' as he only lived around the corner at the time.

Just tried to repair a rotten plank in my shed. Bugger of a job banging the nails in. Should I have used screws?
