These pub league jokes crack me up every time. Keep 'em coming!

Quality player, but undoubtedly a jinx (as Bayern Munich discovered this season) England will need to drop him if they wish to win anything

Do you think BBC News will have cameras at about a dozen English pubs watching fans jumping up and down when they score? Fabulous stuff which never grows old

He's got an Irish granny apparently. Don't know if the international football authorities still don't bother checking whether this actually true or not

Back in the glory days of the 70's, the away kit was blue and yellow. Looked great. Would be considered too gaudy nowadays I suppose where black or grey seems to be the in thing

I just don't understand how you can have such a reaction to it.

Possibly, like me, feels that a grey kit is just ever so slightly nicer than a brown one

Hmm. Certain death from electrocution, or take your chances with a shark which might leave you alone? Thankfully, Trumpet is opting for electrocution as he's very smart

Well, I'm pretty sure that 99.99% of people on earth would rather we didn't have any more wars, but we don't seem to get much say in the matter

I'll be praying silently as I make my way along Dalry Road. That should suffice

I'm just going to turn up at 3 o'clock to watch the game. I doubt they'll be re-enacting the Battle of the Somme during the match or anything like that

I would never bother trying to verify anything nowadays so rely on my life experience, which is; Tory MP's, self serving horrible bastards, Labour MP's useless tossers. Lib Dems seem like nice enough people but a waste of a vote as will never win in my constituency. SNP some real dodgy characters am...

I told my mate that I had built a model of the Eiffel Tower.
"To scale"? he asked
"No", I replied " Just to look at"

I told my mate that I was in the pub and saw another bloke with his girlfriend. I said that I saw him put his arm around her three times. He said that he didn't believe me as no one had arms that long.

The idea that new music is equivalent to the discarded skip outside Tesco says quite a lot about you. I said skip outside of a restaurant, not Tesco. Please do keep the astute tips coming oh wise one. “It’s much cheaper to book a holiday to Spain in the middle of November than peak time in July or ...

I've read about that walk. Sounds challenging. Why is the walk done through the night?

The Wolf of Badenoch will be spinning in his grave at that pronunciation

Indeed there is. And?

Many people in Scotland will be away, as the election will be held during school holidays here. I doubt Rishi was counting on many votes from here anyway. Still, can't imagine there being a general election held in August

The Mansour family are thought to be worth £1 Trillion, so could probably manage to meet any financial penalty, as well as a few quid towards the " investigators" expenses

Financial Fair Play rules do not apply to Man City apparently, so they will dominate for as long as the money is pumped in

As VAR was intended to rectify clear and obvious errors, I'd impose a 20 second rule. If VAR can't decide if someone is offside or not in that time, then it obviously isn't clear and obvious. It's the waiting around for 2 or 3 minutes while pictures are forensically analysed that is killing the game

It's rare that you ever hear a song on this show that you would wish to ever hear again. Last time for me was probably Puppet On A String. I was only 7 at the time of course

Seems to me that contestants simply try to out-weird each other nowadays and it's all become a bit boring.

A couple of beers is actually 3 or 4. A few beers is 5 to 8 and a good few beers is anything above 8

Presumably my hand-turned gramophone is not on the prohibited list? I like to listen to my 78's collection at halftime
