I've often looked at your avatar and thought there's only one guy that could be.

You appear to have confirmed this.

For me 'tis the greatest Christmas song ever and as Toyah Willcox said a while since, we must never forget Kirsty Maccoll. Isn't it ten years since she died? It would be wonderful if it made no. 1 but in these days of tripe music, I doubt it will.

"I don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean, it's only fair after last year isn't it? Look Neil, just for you, I've put my best Rovers' tie on today in the hope it'll go some way to make up for it. Oh, by the way, Jon sends his regards."

It was exactly ten years to the day yesterday since Kirsty was killed. Philip Chevron dedicated '1000's are sailing' to her during the show last night in Birmingham. The Pogues and many others have worked tirelessly to try to bring the perpetrators to justice but it now seems highly unlikely to happen. It's very sad for her mother Jean and her boys, but she left behind a great musical legacy and I feel privileged to have seen her sing live with the Pogues on several occasions!

As you're walking past the door obviously.

Nat King Cole - the little boy that Santa Claus forgot

Now THAT is a tearjerker!

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.
