Mc, got your gruesome e-mail. Last season when I got my throat permanently damaged I swore revenge on the team that did it. Yesterday I got an e-mail asking could I help out one of their team who took a hit in a recent game. The tackle drove his face into the floor. The result being: 37 fractures in...

Martino, I am pushed for time here, so I will firstly commend you on the stuff you wrote in bookgroup. (I hope the collective take a peek) How sad that you can't make it down to the pub with no jukebox for a few sherberts. With regard to the question of moral obligation and serving in the military, ...

Not sure what this has got to do with the Liverpool scene but I know I speak for myself and three other scousers when I say I am jolly interested in the stunt with four cocks. Shit, I don't care if the two of the others belong to brian Dennehy(sp) and Robert Redford. Please don't bother to explain w...

The thing about the army is you take the oath and you take the money and you take the consequences. Having come from a poor background myself and done just that I know what I am talking about. Back in the day under Thatcher, youth unemployment in Liverpool was running about the 86% mark. I actually ...

There is just too much to talk about here for my typing skills. We'll have to take this down the pub. I almost fell of the chair when I saw "Big in Japan" in the same sentence as supergroup. The actual star of that group was Jane whats-her-face, the co-singer with Holly Johnson. The Liverp...

Well, I don't know how to put this any other way than by saying that the person in question should face up to the fact that they joined tha army voluntarily. When you join a body like that you knowingly give up quite a lot of liberties. Soldiers do what they are told. Armies can't pick and choose th...

What a marvellous subject for discussion. One better suited to a warm corner of a not too noisy pub on a dark rainy afternoon than a bulletin board. Mark and Sarah I have recommendations for the pair of you. Both are cheap and easily available second hand. AND, almost spookily, they are by the same ...

Mark, you make me feel like I have under appreciated the life that I lived in England. I am very familiar with the LA's. Which, if you didn't know it, is a scouse expression. La is short for lad. So you end enquiries thus, "Scuse me la." " Thanks la." etc. (For the benefit of any...

I once met the producer of Lou Grant (the tv show not the person) He also did some of the writing. He asked me to explain cricket to him. It was a difficult conversation. Everything I described, he wanted to convert into baseball terminology, which at the time I knew nothing about. After about half ...

All well and true, but let us not forget that in addition to shagging a top bird all those years (Liz Hurley) he risked it all to get a blow job from a crack ho in a parked car. As I understand it, that's get on the bus behaviour. As opposed to, say, moving to a foreign country and having a couple o...

Friday night is Adam Hollingsworth's 30th birthday. Some of you met him at my house. A gang is assembling at Kells round about the 7pm mark. Saturday night at 1am is the rugby union world cup final. There is a party for that as well. (On Boylston I think) If you are not into the rugby then you might...

A long time ago in my hometown it was quite common to call a pub by another name than the one above the door. For instance, the "Hare and Hounds," was known as "Tommy Hall's" as that had been the name of the landlord for many years. Many years before I was born I may add. The Vic...

Looks to me like this is a shout to the balcony from Sarah. It is hardly my place to get in the way of lovers. (I might say that she is in danger of stretching the spring on the Jack-in-the box a little too far, which could render it useless. But I suspect she knows that. If the, "pop goes the ...

I was reading a bit in the guardian the other day about the Canadian wallah in charge of drug testing for the IOC. He was mentioning that a number of sports had decided to come under the same standards of drug testing. He pointed to the recent shenanigans involving Rio Ferdinand (of Manchester Unite...
