Oh that may not even be right. I had a sweepstake at work in around 90 91 which you had to predict loads of things. Every league down to the second tier of non league and Scotland for promotion relegation cups etc. Loads took part and the winner got about £500.

I needed a draw at a game at bath - all other fixtures were completed. I assume it was Bath then and not Bristol Rovers - ended nil nil keeper had a great game apparently and the money was all mine!

Spacemen 3, Rugby's finest. Don't know much of their stuff (must be too young or something) but love Revolution, the non stop guitar is something else.

Enjoy a bit of Joy division too. No love lost being my favorite track by them.

A Scottish band called One Dove did a version of Jolene which, if I may add a category, is the best cover I've heard.

Marshawn Lynch is a very good call a player who gives 100% every time and puts his body on the line, a total game changing player
