Technically, Dundry is an oolitic limestone escarpment at the northern edge of the Mendip Plateau. But you knew that...

He looks a bit past it. Wouldn't mind examining her real estate though...

Missed that. On a wider point, it seems the FA's Fit & Proper Test consists of one question: "Do you have money?"
-
They seem to have a Midlands obsession. Walsall to be the next football powerhouse?
-
Untrue. Resources need managing. Look how many managers have failed with more.

They could drive 20 miles south of Bristol and stay in my mate's field. His farm is 290 metres above sea level. In the Mendip Alps.

It's the best points haul for us - in history! Vast numbers of years in the Third and the Fourth Division, occasionally the Second, and fairly briefly the First. Certainly pisses all over the achievements of Danny Wilson, who you seem to idolise. You don't need to be in love with people to recognise them as good managers: Need I remind you who achieved our highest league position in 42 years?

It's absolutely chucking it down at the minute here, so I can't blame 'em for not standing out in the fields.

They have multiple hundreds of volunteers. Quite a number pop out to get beers at my local. It usually works that they buy a ticket, but have the money refunded after working the agreed shifts.

Gotta link showing Cotts bullshitting? SC's slightly swaggering "car-salesman-with-hair-gel" persona means I probably wouldn't be a drinking buddy of his (but then, maybe I would, because you can't really judge people until you have met them in person and got to know them). But I wouldn't associate him with "bullshitting". He didn't do all the hard yards himself, but this is the manager who gave us our best ever points haul. Some respect is required.

Never did "what" for you?

Northern monkeys generally were there en masse. I suppose festivals have to evolve and change, and some things are for the better now, but I liked it back in the early 90s, when I used to just bump into everyone I knew who lived locally. Nowadays, you need to make elaborate arrangements in order to liaise with friends.

It is in 'Artcliffe!

Yesterday, my itinerary was Warmduscher; Cate Le Bon; get a bite to eat [that's not a band name]; Jack White; meet some old friends [also not a band name]; dash to see about half the Pet Shop Boys set and meet up with the girls. Walk to village gate. Home in 15. Today, I shall be avoiding the roads and hoping my cats aren't run over by departing festival goers who think it's OK to speed through narrow village lanes at 55mph now they've done their 5-day "love and peace" schtick. Work commitments and plantar fascitis stopped me having the full-on Festival experience this year, but I'd be daft not to take advantage of having it on my doorstep. I can hear the bands anyway, I might as well see a few! When there's no mud, it's always a fun visit.

Never seen them before, but they are as good as I expected. I'm the slightly thinner and greyer version of James Robertson Justice standing a few rows behind you, by the way.

Me too. Can't see you or Tom. Reckon you're making it up!

Frank Williams, who played the Vicar in Dad's Army, has passed away. Now only Ian Lavender left of the regular cast members.

This is what I do. I did camp there once and had a horrible time, falling over guy-ropes in the dark and getting covered in mud. Now I go home to recuperate between bouts of lurching around the site. I'm popping up at midday today and will nip out before the outward queues start.

Facing newly promoted sides early doors
Red-Robbo replied to Major Isewater's topic in Football Chat
The best sides to meet early on are those that had a huge turnover of players in the summer. They meet for their first competitive match and are a team of strangers. -
Hargreaves famously said he supported Brexit as a period of chaos would create good moneymaking opportunities for him. Maybe Lansdown was trying to follow the same plan with the Holden appointment? ?

You only need to sell about 50 downloads these days to get a Number One! So, other than Are You Ready For Love (which was a re-release of a 70s track) and his grief-fest rewrite of another 70s track, his last solo #1 was in 1990 with the abject Sacrifice.

What's the ground like after that rain this morning @TomF? I'm thinking of popping in this evening to see Yard Act and Roisin Murphy.

You got the impression Wade's off-pitch contribution was as important as his on-pitch one.
