I'm playing Sleaford Mods and do you know what they are spot on. 65 and loving Sleaford Mods !

The following year aged 16 I went to the Bath Festival which was the UK version of Woodstock. I was working in the warehouse of Mills and Mills stationery Fairfax Street, opposite the Silver Sword pub. I was the youngest of the group of workmates, it was a 3 day festival. Top of the bill were...

Just watched second half. Cracking late goal but didn't see Messi playing. First game of the season, so can't really rate either side as yet.

My youngest son is harder work now than when he was a kid. He's 35 !

My late father would go on about players from his day, Lofthouse, Matthews, Finney etc. He would say they were proper footballers, and were far better than today's lot. But I also said the same to my son's going on about the likes of Best, Charlie Cooke, Bobby Charlton, Greaves. Each generation...

Only been on one back in the 70's with a load of us to Blackpool from the Market Tavern in the city centre. Just a weekend of punch ups and downing copious amounts of lager. So just like a normal weekend in the Tavern really !

My proper job title Houch is : Pigeon Shit Extractor or : Have A Look At My Gutter While You're Up There Please.

I was in a pub in Blackpool in the 1990's with my then missus. I stood at the bar and ordered drinks and a couple of bags of crisps and that's all. A chap sat on a barstool next to me and said " you from Coventry mate ? " I didnt have a Cov top on so was surprised he said that. I replied yes I...

My sister and brother in law have lived in Leicestershire for 40 years, and both now have broad East Midland accents. That's why I recognised Oggys accent. An electrician recently who was doing an inspection in my flat said what part of London did I come from ? I said I was from Coventry and had...

Listening to Oggy I was trying to work out his accent, it sounds like East Midlands ? Not sure where he's from, or where he's been living ?

Clive Eaken wasn't on which was a bonus. They said Oggy is going to be on every game, he was co commentator on Saturday. Has Eaken gone then?

You can always tell if someone's done time, Indian ink tattoos, and good at pool and table tennis !

In my prison days I played table tennis all the time on association, that's when you're unlocked at night and let out to play games or watch the telly. I got good and often played for baccy and sweets. It was competitive and often ended up in punch ups.

I watched it the other night. Worth watching Houch really entertaining.Check it out. Whitehouse is the expert fisherman, Bob the learner. They wind each other up all the time, funny blokes.

Houch. Have you watched the programme on the telly, Whitehouse and Mortimer go fishing ? I'm not a fisherman but love this programme. So funny and serious at times too as they have both had heart problems. They go to some great places, and as I love the outdoors it has given me ideas for...

On holiday some years ago in Aberdaron in North Wales, I left my missus and young son sleeping to go on an early morning stroll on the nearby beach. Best time for a good walk, and as I walked along all I saw were a few dog walkers. But a couple were coming towards me and to my amazement the lad...

As I've done time myself I was inside when a couple of inmates commited suicide. I heard they did so by cutting their wrists. This was in Winson Green prison in Birmingham back in the 70's, and I heard it was common then. But when an inmate is on 24 hour suicide watch it is almost impossible for...

The band or ice cream ?

A good session of window cleaning in the fresh air, sets you up for a good night's kip. Or my son would recommend a spliff just before bed no doubt !

As you know Houch I have just got my state pension. I'm still working but reduced my hours a bit. Today a customer asked me where I've been as I was a couple of weeks late. She has a beautiful house and garden and always gets me doing jobs there. Anyway she said could I cut back some tall spiky...
