Me..?
When aged about 13, in the night, got chased by bulls, vaulted a fence... into an open cess pit...
Or much more recently, a friend asked me to stand in for a [non-arrived] Portuguese wine expert to give a talk about wines and foods that I knew nothing about...I died a thousand deaths...
I remember when I was aged 9-12 in many years when we we went on holiday e.g. North Africa my Dad would make a point of finding local catacombs for us, me, me Mum and me younger sister to visit. Usually with a potentially dodgy guide wielding an oil-cloth torch.
Strangely it used not to freak...
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I've been away (Sorry Bozza, sorry everyone).
With the ball-shredding calamity of Preston fresh in mind, the last 5/6/7 minutes of Wolves with all them corners was the most hideously gonad-dissolving sustained period of play I can remember with our...
Shane MacGowan for me.
I used to adore the Pogues, but made the mistake of reading his 2002 autobiography 'A Drink with Shane MacGowan'...
He came across as such an insufferable shit, I can't even bear to listen to them any more...

I notice that three League 1 games (Coventry, Millwall, Sheffield United) scheduled for 8th October have been postponed, according to the BBC because of 'insufficient players'.
Insufficient players??
What's going on?
Just one, what's yours?
May I nominate...
Tomatoes fresh picked out of the garden, nice white bread, good butter, a spray of rock salt, sarnie.
Happy bunny.
After a shaky start Duffy gets some good ratings from NSCer's today, and he was better vs Hudds than Brentford.
But Goldson was our player of the year last year, yet he stays on the bench...
Bench means fit to play...
So why is Duffy preferred over him?
Is Goldson suffering from a Bong-esque...
An idle question perhaps.
I don't mean basket-case places like DRC (sorry KLL) or North Korea.
I'd like to nominate Mexico... frightens the Bejasus out of me...
I don't dislike Huddersfield and I rather hope they do well - although my impression tonight is that their success in the league is as much about fitness and work-rate as footballing talent.
But some poetic justice that wind-up merchant keeper Danny Ward spilled Knocky's bungled shot, worth a...
Seems to be a lot of moisture in the astro-whateveritis - flies up when a ball is hit...
Do they wet the pitch? Why?
And can't be terribly hygenic is it? Swampy germ-breeding ground Shirley?
Perplexed, any knowledge in NSC-land?
With such a strong squad...
With such a talented, understated, beloved manager...
With great players about to come home from injury...
Being top of the table...
Scoring goals...
Feeling (I feel) so much more hope now actually than any time last season...
After decades of hurt, bloody hell...
