I saw Matt Smith in Enemy of the People a few weeks ago. It was very good, although it was Paul Hilton who really stole the show, not our erstwhile Dr Who (who was perfectly good). Talking of Dr Who, I have a ticket to see David Tennant in Macbeth in the autumn and, also in the autumn, am going...

Er .... I know he's in prison now but I think Imran would like a word. Arguably Sussex's greatest ever player - although Ranji may pip him

:lolol: That's me told. I knew there'd be some others ...(although I have to say that I've not heard of any of them)

I think the last Alfred we had in the top division was Alfie Conn at Spurs in the 70s: has there been one since? (Haaland was Alf-Inge, not Alfred)

How can the talent be too diffused in England and not in Australia? We have, as near as dammit, exactly the same number of first-class teams per head of population.

I was thinking of having a cheeky tenner on Hall, as 10-1 are good odds in a two-horse raceSeeing the way that Labour is losing the Muslim vote, I wish I'd gone for it; it's really not out of the question (but would be terrible news for the opinion pollsters)

Not long before Wayne Madsen's annual big score against us

My sister is the presiding officer in Queen's Park and was moaning that she had double the workloads of other POs. I hadn't realised that they have to serve for the whole time the polling stations are open and deliver the boxes; I thought there'd be shifts - it's a hell of a long day

I was hesitating but my son has a vote for the first time and wants me to go to the polling station with him. So, I'll toddle along later

But that was the case back in January (when Leicester were by no means guaranteed promotion). The club obviously decided that they weren't over the FFP threshold and didn't need to sell; so why should they be now? I take it little interest in press reports on FFP; I remember reading countless...

We couldn't get KDH in January when he was playing in the Championship, for a team that was stuttering. Why on earth would he leave his boyhood club now they're in the Prem (and he's, presumably, on more dosh)?

Everyone is talking about the game against Walsall - quite rightly as it was a magical (if soaking wet) night. But there were other great games: we scored seven a couple of weeks before the Walsall game. I can't remember who it was against but Spider was on fire that day. And he also scored a...

I thought you already supported Huddersfield :lolol:

What sad news - probably my favourite Albion player Remembering that fantastic partnership with Wardy; happy days

The people selling it could be getting divorced or separating and want it sorted quickly. That's what happened to my flat in Balham; it was sold for about £20,000 below the going rate because the then Mrs Gwylan wanted it done rapido

Happy Beltane for those still following the old religion (and raising a glass to my mum on what would have been her 94th birthday)

Yes, that's interesting: I think Khan could have been beatable but the Tories chose a dribbling halfwit who I wouldn't trust to run a school raffle. Why didn't they pick a credible candidate?

I don't know that about Harris. I think Lord Hawker had a bit of a reputation too. And thinking about it, Monty Bowden came to a sticky end while smuggling whisky. He was buried in a coffin made of whisky cases. Both Percy Chapman and Walter Hammond were shrouded in scandal: Chapman with booze...

I wondered that but it seems he didn't. He was investigated by the Australian Secret Service when he was on tour there; they were very suspicious of his political activities. He's probably the dodgiest individual to captain England

It's what Private Eye call him
