You and I are not like great sportsmen - I can say that with some confidence from my side, though in your case, I might be going out on a limb… In another forum, I was discussing the decline of one of the world’s top Scottish sportsmen, and I had the thought: ”Maybe some people are great sportsmen because they love to win and be better than the next man, while other sportsmen are great because they want to be the best that they can be”. Of course, to be the best that you can be, you need to compete against and beat your peers, while to beat the next man, you need to be as good as you can be…

Some years back, I highlighted that the zombie apocalypse had started, centred on Nana Plaza. The wise amongst us may be able to ignore the apocalypse until its inevitable finale, but for the weak-willed amongst us, I suggest you invest in blinkers, blindfolds, welders’ helmets and whatever else you need to ignore the next moment apocalypse. On a similar theme: - One dinosaur said to the other, on the approaching meteorite “Are you not upset about our up on Ng extinction?” ”No; we saw it coming long enough, but it’s not global warming: it’s not as if there was anything we could’ve done to prevent it”

No-one gets to pick their nose. It’s inherited.

What do you do with coins? Or quoits? or pancakes? It sounds like those are missing from your life, and a good toss is a joy in its own right.

Let us praise the Lord that so few judges are without sin nor Puritans

Back in the day we had Red and Green labels. I think Heineken was generally considered positive, and McEwans negative.

Back in the last millennium, when I was even younger than I am now, I formed the opinion that Germans did not queue as politely as British people. But maybe they had different ways of figuring out how the queue was formed.

I think that Covid-19 made people much better at waiting in queues, and managing queues.

It was God's will

It's always good to find a gym you can cycle to, with somewhere safe that you can lock your bike

I would use sardonic double-entendres.

It's had all the praise its going to get - we need to move on

I've got friends, relatives and acquaintances that will be after my life for this, but that is dross - its (edit: almost) worse than the Gallachers. To suggest that this was comparable to Bruce Dickinson -- who did not make my suggested top three -Well - I don't know what to say. It's not exactly a Tony Lomi riff.

That was probably half of the problem

If you want to ask about sanity, Noddy Holder is the man to ask

Your links don't work

People get killed in road accidents all over the world. The risks are higher in some places than in others, and at some junctions than others. I don't want to sound Woke, but its always good to look both ways.

Seems like a bit of a non sequitor. Is it after midnight? I'd kind of hoped (poor grammar - but that's what old people had to cope with...) that people would have offered up their favourite guitarists. Maybe I've noted them all. It's only fair to warn you that Youtube has offered me The Nolans next up.

You can kill yourself or kill the planet. Close your windows and turn on the air conditioning. Although if you went the other way where you would go. Whatever.

I don't know if you've ever been woken up in the morning, but it starts with the birds going "Hawey! Hawey!", and just as you're getting used to that, the Imam starts off "Helloooo Gasgoooow", and as your fumbling for the Yellow Pages and looking for snipers' rifles, he's off on "andyecannaebuythatheer" You can suffer in stoic silence, or complain pointlessly to yourself.

Calm down, man - it's not that bad! Start off dosing yourself on Tramadol

What'd'ye reckon? Have you ever walked in to a pub and ordered fries for the band because they sounded like they were Duane Eddy? Or Chet Atkins? Or Hank Marvin?

I hope I'm old before I die When I die and they lay me to rest, I'm going to go to the place that's the best
