    All correct - there's actually a bit of the Mariana Trench that's the deepest, called the Challenger Deep, but I wasn't expecting anyone to be so specific. :) I remember a massive argument with my wife many years ago when she told me not to be so stupid: the sun is not a star.

    Pub Quiz

    Here's something to possibly keep you amused during the lockdown... a pub quiz. Questions below. History 1. Which of Henry VIII’s wives did he consider ugly? 2. Who was the US President during the Cuban Missile Crisis? 3. In early life I was known as Soso (one of many pseudonyms I used)...

    Ideal Scenario

    Of course you are absolutely right. And some teams will come back better and others worse than they were before the hiatus. But what if the choice were to be between finishing this season or culling next season entirely? Because that's where I think we'll end up.

    Ideal Scenario

    I agree. This is only the first wave, we're probably not even close to being 50% of the way through this yet. We may be able to sneak in a few games behind closed doors before September but by then there will be another round of lock down and it will be called off again. Only my opinion.

    New Labour Leader

    Yeah, I reached that stage about 12 months ago. Absolutely pointless.

    Bad hair weeks

    It's really not the best time of year to be looking like Jesus. It always seems very cruel that we remind him of the worst day of his life every year, when he probably just wants to put it behind him and forget.

    Grunge - A great unifier?

    I forgot the Wild Boys - did you go see them at the Cov Theatre in Risky City? I put the cassette of that on eBay about 10 years ago and was amazed to have 3 Japanese buyers fighting over it - it sold for much more than I could have imagined. Sorry, don't remember The Fuse. However in about...

    Grunge - A great unifier?

    I think you had to be there and the right age. At the time, the Pistols were a revolution - I'd never heard anything like it before. I seldom if ever listen to NMTB nowadays but do still listen to other bands from that time (Clash; 999; Buzzcocks...). I cannot imagine listening to some of the...

    Bad hair weeks

    Been there - clippers now sitting redundant. She could cope when I went through a phase of No. 1 all over but since I now like the top a little longer she won't even try.

    Bad hair weeks

    I'm sorry Tony, I was liking every post on this thread but there's no way I'm liking a post suggesting that a ponytail is a reasonable idea.

    Several years ago she had a bit of a meltdown and shaved all of her hair off.

    Bad hair weeks

    I did wonder if many of us were now sporting footballers' hairstyles. I'll kick a ball around today as an experiment to see if it's improved my skills. Could there be some kind of Samson effect?

    Bad hair weeks

    I was due a haircut before the lockdown but foolishly delayed. I usually wear it short but not a crew cut. My hair is thick and grows quickly and is now starting to look more like I wore it as an edgy youngster. This is an issue that must be affecting men up and down the country. Anyone else...

    Today is very special

    Your Dad sounds a bit like like mine. He took me from about age 7 whenever he could get free tickets from work. The first game I remember was Sheff Utd and Tony Curry was playing. He was always very negative about the team... if we were winning he'd say that the other side would score soon...

    Motd goalkeepers

    I watch 'I'm a celebrity...' (because I bet on it). I didn't have any feelings one way or another for him beforehand but he's a moody, sulky child.

    City players who were panned, or not rated by most, but who you quite liked

    Not exactly the question asked... but I don't mind the Villa, or Leicester, or indeed any other club. TBH I find all the hate stuff a bit childish.
