    I like Port wine from mainland Portugal but find Poncha, from Madeira, unusual to say the least. It reminds me of cough medicine - tastes awful but does you good 

    Poncha of course is punch, so generically any fruit flavoured alcoholic beverage, although technically distilled, and the português version uses aguardente or fire water which I'm sure is an "acquired taste" (me having acquired it so long ago that I can't imagine not having acquired it, more specifically bagaço which is distilled from the grape residue remaining from the wine process, and must be homemade or "caseiro" to be understood, and as such is highly alcoholic to an unmeasured degree and in effect more akin to class A drugs than any form of alcohol you may be used to).

    I just listened to the interview on BBC Sport. Wow! He's an absolute champion at turning a mea culpa into a massive brag. He's the kind of bloke who if asked in a job interview what his biggest weakness is, he'd say he's too perfect and it makes other people jealous.

    "My biggest weakness is I'm totally honest."

    "Well I think that's an admirable quality."

    "I don't give a **** what you think!"

    (Yeah no, I didn't get that one)

    Humour, like taste in film & music is completely subjective, isn’t it?

    More people like Mrs. Brown’s Boys than ever watched Monkey Dust or The Larry Sanders Show, for instance.

    I’ll therefore try not to be too unkind here but reading the same obvious (unfunny) stuff is pretty tiresome, so once a thread descends into things like “udderly brilliant” or the same rubbish pun someone had already said about 6 posts previously, I’m off.

     

    Finally another Monkey Dust fan! Probably wouldn't get broadcast now.

     

    Anyway back to Naismith, and given that he likes to pass it out of defensive positions, in his absence are we just going to hoof it?
