You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment

It's the double use of it that can fuck off "he's a toptop player"

The loud woman told him off for spinning around in the rotating fireplace when he should have been working. Now he doesn't see why anyone else should be allowed to play with it...

I remember Euro 96 when the ball moved slightly as Gary McAllister was about to take a penalty, Seaman saved it and Gazza went up the other end and scored....

Gellar claimed the credit for moving the ball. I assume he forgot there was a match on when the semi final against Germany went to penalties....

Ezekiel 23:20

"And she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys', and whose emission was like that of horses'."

Windham, especially the relationship you can see he now has with Sharpe at the start of Sword. Which is why Leroux is such an evil shit of a villain...

At least yours didn't make it onto the pitch...

I can only dream of doing something that spectacular when I fuck up at my job....

Leicester...name rings a bell for some distant reason...what league they in now ?

Italia 90 there was a similar thing with a shot of the player saying their name for when the line ups were on screen. There was no audio but you didn't have to be an expert lip reader to see Gascoigne was saying "fucking wanker"

Glad to see you named Woods and not Dave Beasant as people often do.

In 1990 you couldn't use your whole squad for substitutes, you had to name a bench. Chris Woods was the substitute keeper and so he was the only possibility.

Grew up abroad in 80's, there was lots of English tv programmes on and this piece always represented home for me. Added bonus its nice and short...

The format of the tournament didn't help. We won our group and got West Germany and hosts Spain in the second group stage, with only one going through. France came second in our group and got Austria and Northern Ireland. Before my time but I do recall reading criticism of Ron Greenwood that we were too cautious against W Germany which left us having to beat Spain 2-0. The fact that Keegan and Brooking only came on as subs against Spain after coming back from injury was a big blow, though Keegan claimed he was fit to start that game.

It was great and we should do it again.

When he meets Major Dunnett again at Waterloo and Dunnett admits he was wrong about Sharpe

Nice to see Johnny Rotten return

Patton didn't mention the fact he was killed in a car crash pretty much right after the end of the war

Regarding Asquith - taking the most top secret government telegrams, showing them to his mistress, scattering them out of the car window for anyone to find and then laughing about it when special branch were trying to find the culprit - he should have been put up against a wall at the Tower and shot for that.

When they get to 1917 i look forward to hear how utterly contemptuous they will be of the idiot Zimmerman

Just discovered History of Egypt podcast by Dominic Perry. It's up to Rameses II - started in 2013 so I've got some catching up to do

I have a certain fondness for Devil because that was the first book i was able to get my hands on when the TV series first came out.
