West Brom keeper John Osborne having a ciggie during a league game in '72.
Was he taking time out from his other job with Black Sabbath?

I think it's more a case of penguins being much much smaller than we imagine them to be.

Something not quite right about the term massively smaller.

I think it's more a case of penguins being much much smaller than we imagine them to be. Up to about 11.5 ft - so big buggers. Only one recorded case of them killing someone, a snorkeller was dragged about 70m deep.

I do miss the old pounds, shillings & pence. Saw this today on Danny Baker's Twitter;
Last echoes of a vanishing way of speech. Talking of a record he should have bought, friend of mine just said,
"Bloke on the stall wanted 4 and 6 for it but I only had 3 and 8 and he wouldn't budge."
Folks under 30 would have no idea what that meant.

Don't flatter yourself. My 40yos don't know what it means. They can't work out why he needs an extra 10 pence to make 3 and 8 into 4 and 6.
