I stuck £20 on Villa go to down earlier in the season, so I'm afraid that's jinxed it. And even if they do, I can't remember what site I used.

They've won 3 FA Cups in the last 10 years too, up to 1997 you could draw a comparison with them I agree though. You'll be well aware that the DFB-Pokal doesn't have one-hundredth of the history and prestige of the FA Cup (even in its current diluted form) though. But aye, if we're going by pure silverware I suppose it has to count.

Schalke maybe? I know they won the Waffa in '97, but in every other respect they're basically us.

Find a lass, give her a Valentine's card every year, sorted.

I'll start the ball rolling with my plan for tonight, which is loosely based on this: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/3452/baked-spinach-and-ham-pancakes.aspx

I really wish I'd thought of that.

When I was at primary school we didn't have guidelines or targets or any of that nonsense. Admittedly, we barely had a school building either and spent several years learning in prefabricated huts - but hey, much like an unimaginative school playground, it's all swings and roundabouts.

Don't get me started.

You don't live up on the hill though you live near New Cross. I'm closer to Hilly Fields in Brockley than I am to New Cross. ...by about 30 seconds

Irony bypass. Lewisham is a wankhole nee offence Meenzer, when I used to stay in Lewisham I always thought people were surviving not living, the biggest shock is a shooting there has made the news. Gangland central. Wank chippies, wank chinkies, wank pubs, mugs paradise. You're not wrong like, I've been trying to convince Meenzer to move somewhere a little nicer, like, say, Syria... You've never even been here, you cheeky fucker. At least Stevie knows whereof he speaks, although the side of Lewisham he's talking about (and the central bit) is loads rougher than up here on the hill. It's all yummy mummies and young professionals and cupcake shops around here nowadays (well, and the occasional brothel murder).

Well, that and the rumblings are that it was a crazy guy rather than gang affiliated. Also it's cold. Rioters are like mushrooms, they like it warm and dark. Racist

Aye, I was about to check Twitter and all

Dahn Catford innit. No more sirens up this end of the borough than usual, but it could get tasty.

Bloody hell, that's a blast from the past. We used to go there after an afternoon perusing second-hand bookshops. I had a fucking thrilling childhood. honestly you felt the urge to post that jeeez Everyone's a critic.

Cats as fonts.

I was at her/their Shepherd's Bush Empire gig on Wednesday night. I'd love to say it was shit but it was bloody fantastic. Sorry. Saw them supporting The Civil Wars last year. They're lurvely.

I assure you we wouldn't let him in the club with dress sense like that.

Homework for tonight Cheers. If it keeps you away from the biscuit tin it's all good.
