Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline

Tommy Steele - Singing the Blues

Strauss - The minute waltz.

What a beautiful site. I had to stop looking through it as my eyes were misted with tears. Old softy I know but I can't help it.

The game took a bit of a back seat to the euphoria around the stadium but I seem to remember that it featured a lot of ex Rovers like Windy Miller, a few of the youth team and Kenny played. I remember him bollocking one of the young players for not passing to him in the penalty area.

Kylie Minogue - Tears on my pillow

Matt Monro - Born Free

Laurel and Hardy - Lonesome Pine

Don McLean - American Pie

Frankie Vaughan - Give me the moonlight.

Shirley Bassey - Kiss me honey honey kiss me.

I've tried but I can't whip up much enthusiasm for either code of egg chasing. Too much stop and start. Strange though that I do like American Football and that is more stop and start than ever. No explanation.

I often wonder about that myself. He was always controversial, (maybe he was banned) but there was a lot of sense in what he posted and the board is poorer for his absence.

God I fancied her when I was a lad. It's rumoured that the first bra was invented for Jane. She certainly had the equipment to fill it.

No.

Where is the evidence that it is retired and semi retired people who are objecting? I resent that sort of unsubstantiated crap. I am retired and would welcome a restaurant of that quality in my area.

Yep. Bash is a top coat colder than Accrington, the snow is always deeper and the fog is always thicker. It's the elevation that does it, however in summer the sun is always warmer and it's a pleasant place to live with pleasant people and I love it.

There's at least 6" of snow fallen this morning in Baxenden so I still can't take my car out with a reasonable chance of getting it back to my drive. Looks like something out of the freezer today.

I've heard that The Walton Arms (my favourite restaurant) is in receivership. Has anybody heard anything about it?

IT was a couple of years ago. Probably be good by now. Let me know. It's near where I live.

I had the mixed grill a couple of years ago. It had been cremated. I might just have been unlucky but have not been since.

Precisely. No one would carry the team. You can't play Benni on his own up front. You can't play Benni AND Dunny. Therefore you can't play benni.

I'm not AS concerned over the defence. I think that it is under undue pressure because of the weakness in midfield.

For once I agree with you JAL but unfortunately up to now the management have only too obviously shown their worth and the standard seems to be that you get back 25% of what you receive in transfer fees.
