Stevenage fined £5k over offensive chanting As change was being made home fans sung "We'd shag the lino", "Get your tits out for the lads" and "If you'd all shag the lino clap your hands"

You don't think she'll be confirmed in October then?

I checked with one netball fan and she was more interested in the cricket!

The Soviets tried once and failed spectacularly. It was kept secret at the time. Soviet crewed lunar programs - Wikipedia

Why would Farage be at a protest in support of one of the appointments which prompted his resignation from the UK Party?

Miniature plastic soldiers! It dates back to 1989 when I was totally immobilised by a viral infection for several months. As often happens in that situation there was one thing which really nagged me and in my case it was the historical inaccuracy of the Airfix' miniature soldiers I collected...

That was Children's Favourites with 'Uncle Mac' on Saturday mornings :) I think you'll find it was Michael Holliday's version of Runaway Train they always played?
